Hey good people! Ralph here. I hope you all are remaining safe and healthy as we continue to navigate through this COVID-19 pandemic. I’m going to ask for some assistance on this one. In these turbulent times, many of us entrepreneurs are doing the best we can to keep our small businesses afloat and as well as staying relevant in the public eye. With that being said, I’m running a promotional giveaway for my YouTube channel, in which I’ll be giving away a free, exclusive graphic t-shirt to five lucky individuals selected by lottery.

Happy New Year 2019! New Aspirations. New Promises. Rekindled Hopes.

As I say goodbye to 2018, a year that has taught me so much through both pain and gratitude, I’m reflecting on this humbling moment in remembrance of family and close friends who’s physical presence are no longer among us. I desperately say to you all that we have to find a way to be swift to forgive, to love abundantly, pursue your passions relentlessly and to create bravely.
