AKBAR
NY & LA Muralist
Mentoring communities and beautifying spaces that would be otherwise neglected.
From Rochester, NY, to Salvador, Brazil, Akbar has inspired rundown neighborhoods with his artwork, and introduced countless kids to the opportunities that come with creative pursuits.
Akbar explained, “My family came here from Eritrea in 1983. I was born in Rochester and started painting uplifting and community-centric murals at 15.” Now he makes it a point to travel across the country to impoverished neighborhoods and paint murals, improving community spaces and getting the local kids involved in something constructive and hands-on. After finding a mentor at a crucial time in his life, Akbar pays it forward by mentoring at-risk youth who could use extra attention during their more vulnerable years.

From garage side hustle to coffee king, Koan keeps business sustainable every step of the way.
What started as a side hustle in Koan’s garage has evolved into one of Denver’s top coffee destinations, so you know the Huckleberry Roasters’ owner takes special pride in the process from bean to brew.
The European transplant and family man stays passionate about each step of the coffee journey with his wife, Lashly. From visiting Ethiopia to see where the coffee is grown, to making sure his shop runs as sustainably as possible by working with local, smaller farms and coffee co-ops, Koan noted, “Working with them goes a long way.” If you’re in the Denver area, make sure you don’t miss his yearly competition for Colorado’s “Okayest Barista,” with 100% of the event’s proceeds going to charity.

ERIC
Austin Restaurateur
It’s never too late to switch paths, especially when you’re hungry for change.
Eric, founder and owner of The Peached Tortilla, is a former litigator who left law to follow his gut. He initially took a gamble on a food truck, which led to another food truck…a brick-and-mortar restaurant, a cook book, and resounding success in Austin.
His newfound status allowed him to create dozens of jobs, start a mentorship program for novice food truck owners in Austin, and to make generous food donations from his restaurant to local schools. The secret sauce to his success? Eric was born in Tokyo, Japan and moved to Atlanta, Georgia when he was ten and his appreciation for Japanese, Chinese, and Malaysian cuisine plus traditional southern flair gives his menus a uniquely delicious spin.

Taking entrepreneurial risks and starting a movement never looked so seamless.
From curating vintage sneakers to building boots, “The Mayor of East Austin” earned his nickname through being one of the first entrepreneurs to relocate to East Austin, helping make it the thriving hub of artists and innovators it is today.
After finding success with the Subterranean Shoe Room in San Francisco, Josh took off to Austin to continue his entrepreneurial endeavors and started a coffee shop. But he didn’t stop there, and built a boot company from the ground up, all while raising a family. Not only did Josh find success, but he recreated it in different styles while still remaining true to his values.
