EPISODE ONE 

 GENT SOCIAL EP. 1  
GENT social is a collective. Part creative panel, part kitchen table talk - But very much an open discussion. With a hand picked cast of creatives for each installment, we explore the importance in removing the glamorized veil around being a creative in NYC. It’s not all Hypebeasts, events, and OOTDs. We talk about everything from learning different avenues of entering a particular field, to the do’s and dont’s of trying to make it in the city while successfully accomplishing your dreams. What’s different about this venture is we don’t know all the answers and we don’t pretend that we do. We are all very much still figuring it out but when we come together and have these conversations, it’s an important way to help grow. Cocktails, vital information, and laughs peppered with about 56 tangents.
