It is believed that true talent does not lie in doing different things, but in doing things differently. Patrick Matamoros is an entrepreneur who has certainly shown this talent, having mastered the art of collecting some of the rarest vintage t-shirts around and curating them to the biggest stars in the music industry.

Matamoros firmly believes that every vintage t-shirt has been through an inexplicable journey over the years. His job is to help his clients appreciate the story behind each vintage tee, a notion that truly transcends tangible value. Patrick explained further, “It’s not just a vintage t-shirt, it’s a journey, it has a story to tell, and that’s what simply leaves me spellbound. It is an invaluable attire, one worth admiring.” Having worked with celebrities like Pharrell Williams, Kanye West, Rhianna and the Kardashians, Patrick considers himself somewhat of a curator of stories, ones that are intricately threaded into the vintage t-shirts that he offers.

Patrick is a self-made man, having arrived in New York 20 years ago. He worked as an intern chef and dabbled in set designing, soon realizing regular jobs were far too mundane for him. He decided to experiment with his own business and turn his personal collection of vintage t-shirts into a business, setting up shop at a street corner in the big apple. Eventually people were drawn to him for his ability to find some of the rarest and most interesting vintage t-shirts in the world. Today, the biggest names in Hollywood have his number on speed dial, reaching out to him whenever they want to wear something that is truly unique. Patrick added, “I don’t like being the centre of attention. I just stuck to my craft and continued doing what I love most, delivering nothing but the best to each of my clients, and here I am today.”

Patrick’s journey to success was hard earned, and completely organic in nature. Despite the fact that he has never really advertised his services, he has become highly sought after in the realm of Hollywood. His reputation grew steadily, as one client that he worked with referred him to another. Today, he prefers to not get tied down to one place, and therefore refers to open an official store. Instead he spends his time traveling, meeting interesting people and finding vintage tees that nobody else can.

Though Patrick is always focused on his work, he always makes time for his family, especially his two and a half year old son, De Los Santos Luis. Patrick named his brand Saint Luis, after his son. While Hollywood’s glitterati keep Patrick extremely busy, he makes sure he has plenty of time to be a good father.

Patrick’s journey is a shining example of how true passion can help you reach the greatest of heights. Today, Patrick isn’t just selling products, he’s helping people understand the true value of vintage tees. When Hollywood celebrities want to look their best and find something that reflects their personality, they know Patrick has them covered.

Hassan Chowdhury is already building a name for himself in the luxury hospitality and real estate industries despite being only 26 years old. He has accomplished remarkable success in a relatively short time, and as a result, he has firmly established himself as one of the most successful businesspeople in the United States.

Hassan was born in Houston, Texas, and raised there by parents who are both extremely successful businesspeople in their own right. Hassan was motivated to pursue his business dreams by watching his parents run multiple manufacturing plants for make up and make up brands for the past 45 years. This example of success was the driving force behind Hassan’s decision to pursue his entrepreneurial goals. His parents taught him at an early age the values of the necessity of hard work, devotion, and ambition. They took him on travels all around the world as he became older to show him the significance of different cultures and experiences in other parts of the world. Hassan was on one of these travels when he first realized he had a deep interest in hospitality and high-end lifestyles.

He founded his own hospitality company in New York after college. He collaborates with some of the city’s most well-known nightclubs to host events, including Lavo Nightclub and Fleur Room Rooftop. However, the chaos caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in the hospitality business was a direct result of this epidemic. Hassan did not throw up the towel but viewed this as an opportunity to extend his business into the luxury real estate industry. Shortly after establishing Bouge Villas, a prestigious real estate firm with headquarters in Miami, Florida, he began purchasing real estate in the area. He gave each home its one-of-a-kind design and then put them up for rent on a short-term basis.

As the constraints on COVID-19 were loosened, he saw his business go from strength to strength. After that, he broadened his real estate holdings to include homes in other cities, such as the Hamptons in New York, Fort Lauderdale Beach in Florida, Tulum in Mexico, and Cartagena in Colombia. Soon, he will also expand to Nashville, Tennessee, and Dubai, United Arab Emirates. However, Hassan didn’t stop there and continued. In addition, he established his very own Private Members Club, the MetaFly Club, in collaboration with M2Jets to provide customers with access to luxury private flying and additional hospitality advantages. In the middle of 2023, it will be the first Private Jet Company to provide membership denominated in NFT.

The long hours of labor, unwavering commitment, and lofty goals that Hassan put in allowed him to achieve his goals. He has also demonstrated that it is possible to make the most of even the most challenging circumstances so long as one has the appropriate mentality and attitude. His objective is to achieve worldwide renown for providing the highest level of hospitality that is humanly possible to his customers. Hassan is optimistic about the future. He has big ambitions to continue growing Bouge Villas and MetaFly Club while preserving his status as one of the most successful business owners in the United States.
