Ivan and I were best buds in HS in NY. He is was/is one of the most holistically cool, fun and enlightened people I've ever met and always walked to the beat of his own drum; a beat that I knew would lead to him leaving his mark on the planet. I miss Ivan as we were both living in the same ecosystem, but he always a little more fearless and couldn't care less what others thought of his own personal beat of life as it was always more hip and ahead of its time, more so than the typical teens around us. To see him here and know he's thrived is really gratifying. Moral: do your own thing and find your purpose like he did and fulfillment could follow. And, I heard is food is amazing and check out his restaurants in NY!
It's seems like Ivan left a significant mark in your life, because your comment is bleeding with appreciation and respect. It's nice to know he's the exact same person as I see him. Thanks for the story, man. Take care.
Ivan is very well rounded and polished. I have a great deal of respect for his grind. I only wish he had a restaurant over here in the San Francisco Bay Area. Nice one!
