Kickin it with Christian "Coog" Lopez

The Creative Capital Show

When you think about it most entrepreneurs and creatives have a DIY spirit, but few would exemplify this spirit more than this episode's guest Christian "Coog" Lopez.

Christian wanted to simply promote his friend's music and since this was during the blog era this naturally led to creating a tumblr. What was out of the ordinary was how quickly the tumblr grew in popularity, which led to a website, which then led to merch, and from there live event promotion, that developed a one of a kind poetry night series, and all of this has led to a platform for many creatives within Rhode Island called The Daily Note. Oh and Christian does all of this while balancing living between two cities (ATL and PVD) and being a father. In this episode Christian talks about the importance of learning as you go, the impact of having others believe in your vision, the importance of connecting with other creatives, and why the creative energy is shifting in Rhode Island now, more than ever before.
