Really cool article on my homey Manish Vora, co-founder of ARTLOG. S/O to Manish & congrads on the piece (I’m proud of you brother).
Manish is a great example that you can take something that you are passionate about & turn it into a thriving business. If you don’t know about ARTLOG, you need to get on board. I’m actually a member of their Art Collectors Program. Check out more information about ARTLOG here. -!YG
Excerpt from the article
Manish Vora had wanted to be an entrepreneur ever since he attended Yale University during the dot-com boom. “I never dreamed of being an investment banker,” he says. Then the tech bubble burst, and Wall Street beckoned. For two years, Vora, 30, labored over power and energy deals at Citigroup (C) in New York before joining Monness, Crespi, Hardt & Co., an equity research firm in Manhattan. His job as head of research had him logging 60-hour weeks, not counting time spent on corporate entertaining.

I just had a conversation with someone who works in this area yesterday. She works a major university in the city & mentioned that mental health issues amongst college students is on the rise.
One of the key reasons is that most folks come from a culture of silence and don’t talk to someone until they hit the breaking point. Hopefully there will be a movement towards creating awareness around mental health issues. It is still a pretty taboo topic in our society. Read the article here. -!YG
