ETHICAL BUSINESS BUILDING AS A YOUNG PERSON MANAGING

MULTIPLE INDUSTRIES

ALEX QUIN

Marketing has moved from simple patterns and advertising tactics to a true art form with new technology that goes beyond design, but robust technology. Rising marketers face the challenge of constantly catching up with current advances and design structures HAZZE Podcast sat down with entrepreneur and CMO of UADV and took a closer look at how Alex Quin stays prospering in the marketing industry, but also how he manages to do this while leading a variety of other businesses Alex isn’t just “pushing brands to the next level”; He’s doing the same for his own start-ups

From his podcasts including, Hustle Inspires Hustle to his magazine Contrast Magazine, Alex continues to challenge the boundaries of the business world by turning media into art in multifaceted ways.

Juggling self-expression and selfdiscovery through your youth is hard enough, let alone doing this while running multiple businesses Alex shared several key processes he uses to aid in this journey Alex recommends using online platforms to one ’ s advantage through video tutorials and thorough training to ensure all systems are running smoothly with his business practices and emphasis on the importance of organization and ethical structures He uses each lesson from his previous business experiences to improve his growing practices For example, Alex says, “ my podcast, I treat it like a client I make sure everything is on time, make sure everything is streamlined, make sure everything is the way it needs to be ” He ensures everything remains connected “As a marketer, I’m able to make money for other people, and that money that I make I’m able to invest into other brands ” To ensure Alex’s heart remains true to his work, he nurtures his passions through constant research and updating his ambitions accordingly He says, “I would learn about things I’m passionate about, and if I’m not passionate about anything, I’d learn about new things You'll go down a rabbit hole, find things, and try to discover yourself ”

Tying Alex’s routines back to what HAZZE specializes in, Alex expresses the importance of recognizing humanity and compassion throughout interviews “Honestly, they are just people. When you think about these people and you hear about these people, it's amazing, and in some ways, you can get star-struck, right, or be very excited, but they’re people. And they are on a journey, just like you and I are, and they’re trying to learn about themselves, and they’re trying to learn about their business.”

ANAIS AND MIRABELLE LEE

Taking a sibling bond to another level, actresses and stars in film and media such as The Baby-Sitters Club and The Upshaws, Anais and Mirabelle Lee go beyond sharing similar features; they even share the same passions and aspirations The sisters sat down with Hazze to unravel how this came to be

To simplify their adventure into the acting industry, it was all really just a happy accident! Despite their initial goals being primarily dance related, the sisters started off as models after being approached by a photographer, opening doors to opportunities that were unimaginable for them at the time After moving through the hesitation of entering the modeling industry due to fears of scams, everything else fell into place They quickly adapted to the commercial scene following working with agencies. Anais shares another crucial adaptation is supporting each other emotionally, even in a competitive field where at times they may even compete directly against each other. Anias says, “If Mirabelle books something that I auditioned for, I’m always going to be happy for her” However, that doesn’t mean that they aren’t dedicated to landing their desired roles Anais explains, “for auditions, we don’t help each other because we copy each other a lot”

This prevents their unintentional similarities from intervening with their success when it comes time for potential bookings The sisters really have a perfect balance and a really respectful and understanding system Mirabelle explains, “Honestly, for the most part, we don’t even tell each other when we have a callback or anything, and we literally find out through a family dinner” Everything happens naturally, and there is not any envious tension between them In fact, rather than experiencing maliciousness or jealousy, they lightheartedly illuminate what roles the other wished they could have had if given the opportunity to swap, and how Anais would love to get involved with the horror genre how Mirabelle has, while Mirabelle contrasts this and would adore having the opportunity to play Steph Green from The Upshaws, which has a comedic approach Unmistakably, the actresses don’t just feel connected to their sister’s roles “I have a lot of similarities between me and Jessi because obviously, we are both ballet dancers, that’s the baseline. But I feel personality-wise too, she is very hard-working and cares a lot about her friends and family and her dreams and her aspirations I care a lot about that stuff, too” says Anais Lee, who feels very drawn to her role in The Baby-Sitter’s Club due to their shared ambitions and motivations in life
