We had the good fortune of connecting with Stiven Borato and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Stiven, how does your business help the community?
We have the ideal that unity is strength.
By connecting with different talented people and brands, we feel that by each contributing our maximum capabilities to the project, we achieve mutual growth.
Through our social media channels and using our visual team, we showcase their talents.
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I love photography, video, and music. Two arts, two passions. What sets me apart? I think it’s being authentic, having a traveler’s style, hahaha. Living a chill life with goals. The goals are to be better every day in every aspect: spiritual, mental, emotional, and personal. So that I can give the best of myself to the world.
How did I get here? It’s been many trips, some yes and some no. Some informal studies and university courses, traveling to various countries and observing what interests me—that’s what has brought me here.
It hasn’t been easy. Where I come from, it’s not easy to get an education, and especially to start a business. The economy isn’t very strong, although it’s not impossible. Many have done it and are doing very well. Others of us choose to leave our area and explore other options.
We want to continue connecting with many artists, athletes, and everyday people and have them join our community. We want to be able to do something together and help them achieve their dreams, perhaps by showcasing them through our channels so that other brands can partner with them.
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Here in Miami Beach, where I live, I’d take you to the beach first of all; the sea heals everything, haha. We’d go chatting, take some pictures, and listen to good music. Then a drive around the city, you know. Downtown, Brickell, Little Havana—lots of things to see and do a lot of walking.
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
First of all, thank you to our ambassadors.
They take our products on their trips, to work, or to events. They tag us and always send positive energy just when we need it most.
With the brands we work with and have worked with. They enable connections with different travelers worldwide.
And of course, a huge thank you to all the travelers who wear our glasses.
