In the pursuit of living our dreams, we’ve had the unique opportunity to be interviewed by several Belmont University students sharing our tale of success to their fellow classmates. We are truly grateful for all the students that have approached us, and we hope that our work and efforts spark the entrepreneurial spirit within you all. Recently, we were humbled to discuss our journey with Katelyn, an Entrepreneurship major and blogger for DAZEY.

DAZEY is a strong cocktail of fashion, photography, and art. It was born because of two women’s interest in fashion and art and love for the city of Nashville. Rachel is a very artistic and visual individual who has always been interested in blogging. She thought with Katelyn’s expertise in styling and social media marketing that the two of them could really team together to make something great. They wanted a name that was floral inspired but unique. Daisy… DAZEY. They just fell in love with it.

These ladies are nothing short of interesting and memorable. Rachel is a vintage baby doll and Katelyn is an urban city kid. Rachel has purple hair and Katelyn is a white girl with an Afro. The contrast between the two allows each girl to express their own individualities. The atmosphere of the blog is very fun and carefree. DAZEY condones a hard work ethic but never taking yourself too seriously. They strive to live their lives as creatively as possible and want to inspire others to do the same.

DAZEY is launching an online store soon, which is eventually going to move to a mobile storefront. This is their tangible goal but the real mission is to create a culture here in Nashville that thrives on freedom of personal style.

“The word ‘freak’ should not have a bad connotation. Let your freak flag fly! Anyone can and should be a DAZEY babe.” #DazeyBabe

Rachel and Katelyn are both entrepreneurship majors, so being their own boss is a huge priority for them. Also, they love to have the ability to make a living off something creative that inspires others. The DAZEY brand stands for everything they believe in, so to make their values something tangible is a really rad thing that a lot of people don’t get to experience. And for that, we salute them!

The Peace Tour

Many forms of music originated as a form of expression
 meant to empower and educate its listeners. As the music culture evolved and diversified it took various paths, some positive and some negative, and many people today believe the core foundation of positive music no longer exists. However, like most forms of art, the music genre is steadily making a comeback to its original roots of positive expression. By bringing regions together to showcase their wealth of cultures through musical concerts, dance performances as well as arts and crafts exhibits, The Peace Tour provides an avenue to celebrate the true essence of music.

Created as a daylong festival, The Peace Tour was founded to extend positivity through multiple platforms to reach the community, primarily focusing on uplifting our youth. With our youth relying heavily on social media and other technology mediums, it becomes undeniably difficult to navigate through this already challenging period of life. As our youth face negative images via the media, music, and surrounding communities, it becomes our responsibility to give them ownership within their communities by creating opportunities for them to become involved in. The Peace Tour contributes to the local youth and families by providing internship, mentorship, and other opportunities for self-expression throughout the festival. In addition, The Peace Tour will proudly donate a percentage of the proceeds to not only local schools, but also organizations designed to uplift our youth such as Pretty Intelligent, NFL YET, The Boys and Girls Club and Upward Bound.

The Peace Tour is not only a day filled with music, art and fashion, but also a unique opportunity to celebrate the spirit of community. The Peace Tour will have something for everyone with areas such as "What's Goin' On", inspired by Marvin Gaye's powerful album which will feature artwork and photography from students and artists depicting life through their eyes. This year’s production is set to arrive in Nashville on June 29^th at Shelby Park and will feature nationally recorded artists, as well as local, independent performers that will illustrate the true essence of music of all genres.

Paper Airplanes

In a generation that is engulfed by technology, many entrepreneurs are allowed the opportunity to distribute their ideas through the wonderful world of the Internet. Although much of The Yacht Club Company production is done in-house, from our living room, we depend solely on online market places for the exponential growth of our brand through online retail and distribution. We are constantly inspired by some of the work we find on sites like Esty, Storenvy, and Big Cartel. These sites allow creative business owners the opportunity to distribute music, art, and fashion at little or no cost. We had the opportunity to see this growth first hand through our dear friend and visual artist, Natalie Rose.

Natalie Rose moved to Nashville, TN from San Francisco, CA about 3 years ago. She has been painting since as long as she can remember. Through her own personal and professional network, Natalie was able to sell several of her psychedelic pieces, but she recently decided that Etsy was such a great way to share what she love doing to an online community of over 15 million buyers and business owners.

She just launched her new series titled "Paper Airplanes," and we can’t tell you how excited we were to see the collection after much anticipation! This series is all about stirring that inner youthfulness and innocence in each of us. There is typically only one solid time in each of our lives where we truly believe we can do or be anything. We believe the best in people, and we believe we deserve the best. Fear is not something that we know yet. Failure is not something that has a hold on our soul yet. Life is full of wonder and possibility.

“Often times as we age, we forget about the simplicity of life and clutter our world with work, money, everyday problems, and it becomes so overwhelming that the innocence inside of us fades and we find ourselves walking the streets with a scowl on our face and a bitter taste in our mouth. Suddenly, something sparks our memory and we are left with a question of "what happened"?”

Natalie Rose has been such an inspiration to us by creating art that is colorful and whimsical. Each piece in the “Paper Airplanes” series serves as a constant reminder of some sort of child-like feeling. And for that, we salute you!
