We were fortunate to catch up with some brilliant artists, creatives and entrepreneurs from throughout the Houston area and they share the wisdom with us below.

Korey Mcdavid | Founder & CEO

The idea for Juiced Fuel came from a combination of my entrepreneurial drive and a real-world problem I saw firsthand. Over the years, I’ve always been the type to brainstorm different business ideas, but during the pandemic, this one really stuck. It all started with my wife, Caroline.

Journalists have this incredible responsibility to keep people informed, but it goes deeper than just reporting the facts. We have the power to shape the way people see the world, and that’s a responsibility I take seriously.

Natalie Knox Rosenzweig | Director of Weddings & Events

When it comes to planning weddings, I think many clients and family members get stuck on having to do the traditionally wedding “things”: garter toss, bouquet toss, wearing white, not seeing each other all day before the ceremony, etc etc. These traditions are outdated, and we really enjoy embracing the personalities of our clients and creating an event that is super unique to their style and beliefs.

Gret Mackintosh | Artist & Landscape Architect

After working as a landscape architect for over 13 years in a more traditional office setting, the transition to being a full-time artist and managing myself, my time, my projects and focuses was more of a challenge than I anticipated. I had a studio at Redux Contemporary Art Center during that time and having a dedicated work space that was out of my house made establishing a boundary between work and home easier. Read more>>

Allen Rouse

I have been making music for a decade now. For the latter half of this decade, I joined the United States Air Force. So my work life has taken up most of my time and I use music to de-stress from the military life. It is challenging at times to create. However, I don’t force myself to create I let it come to me naturally. Read more>>
