As Dave puts it, "In most companies, there is a visionary and an integrator. Will is the visionary. I am the integrator."  Dave and Will have a special bond and with that bond, and with their team at REC Philly, they are forging a unique path to fulfill a vision they first had for artists, musicians, and all-around creatives. It has been more than a decade of many realizations that have accumulated to this moment for both Dave and Will. From managing artists in college and throwing parties in frats, to building their first facility in North Philly and then recently at 9th and Market - the Fashion District of Philadelphia. It has been a beautifully, strenuous journey in building out this dream and vision, but Dave and Will are grateful for the entire process. In this episode, they dive into their story, the lessons learned along the way, and advice for everyday entrepreneurs and creatives like yourself.

Patience. Perspective. Purpose. Along with Bishoy's mantra, we also discussed topics consisting of obstacles, focus, sacrifice, celebrating the small wins, the process, big goals, diligence, perseverance, and more.    As Bishoy says, "The comeback is always greater than the setback." Bishoy has had his fair share of obstacles and setbacks in life. But as he says in this episode, they are more so gifts of opportunity to grow and learn. Born in Egypt, diagnosed with Leukemia (more specifically called ALL) at the age of 3, moving to the US with his family at a young age, growing within his career path, and running ultra races, has given Bishoy a unique perspective. Those are things that have equipped Bishoy to take on any barrier in life.   And Bishoy continues to take strides to new levels like becoming the #1 fundraiser in the country for the NYC Marathon in 2018, giving speeches, growing mentally and physically, becoming an author with the release of his new book, and whatever is yet to co
