We had the good fortune of connecting with Chris Nicolaou and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Chris, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
I don’t mind hard work. I’m not afraid of failure and I embrace challenges. My businesses are just an extension of me.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?

Beyond the stated daily objectives, building and maintaining a strong partition between my personal life and my work. As an entrepreneur your life is work, and every hour you have be “on the clock,” so it’s hard to discern the difference between personal and work sometimes.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?

I’ll do this in list format:

I was raised by a family of entrepreneurs and they’ve always supported my ambitions regardless the pursuit. S/O Mom, Dad and my sister Kelly!

My fiancee, Ashley Koops, who has sacrificed so much to give me the time and freedom I need to pursue my goals.

My business partner, 7 Tha Great, who’s shown me something more than friendship and has always been an inspiration to forge ahead despite the odds.
