This was a really fun episode to do as I got to hang out with my buddy Antoine Troupe at his brand new dance studio, KreativMndz Academy. We had the whole studio to ourselves. With James Brown, Prince, and Michael and Janet Jackson on a big mural behind us, Antoine and I discussed entrepreneurship, dance, storytelling, psychology, confidence, self-development, branding, and so much more. Most importantly, Antoine shared his passion for learning. Antoine is professional dancer, choreographer, dance instructor, entrepreneur, and creative visionary. In 2008, he appeared on MTV’s Americas Best Dance Crew as part of Supreme Soul. He has choreographed for stars such as Prince, Chris Brown, and CeeLo Green. He's worked with brands such as Starbucks and Kit-Kat, and been featured on LinkedIn's ad campaigns.
