We had the good fortune of connecting with Rashod McKay and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Rashod, what is the most important factor behind your success?
The most important factor is believing in myself. Contributing to success involves eliminating fear, allowing pure ideas to flow into my business, and creating something out of nothing.

What should our readers know about your business?
LaFynk is an entertainment and PR agency. What sets us apart from other public relations agencies is that we are more than just that. We serve as a platform for artists and brands that are redefining cultural norms. I am really proud of the entertainment space I created with Blooming Minds and the various creatives I get to invite to speak about their creativity and their own stories. This takes a lot of effort (sometimes I don’t have it), but I got to where I am today by believing in myself and staying focused. I had to sacrifice a lot of my time to build this company. This is not an easy process, but I am passionate about this business. This is a company I want my great-great-great-great-great-great-grandchildren to be proud of. I also want current and future generations to know that LaFynk is a place to express themselves, be free, and find joy in things they didn’t know were possible.

I think the most important lesson I’ve learned in this industry is that you cannot help everyone. LaFynk will always extend a hand to every creative or brand that respects Black people and people of color. However, many times the person on the other side is not ready for help or cannot trust it because of past experiences.

I want the world to know LaFynk is a company that does not have a lot of financial support yet. But if you have a vision that you want to execute, LaFynk is the best place to come because there are no strict rules to follow. We are forging new ways and embracing a unique approach.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
My favorite spaces in Denver include Greenspaces, letshealtogeter.us, rebel_marketplace, Vibes in the Park, Welton Street Cafe, The Cake Bar, and many more that I can’t name right now. That’s definitely a start to the spaces I recommend. Shout out to communitykeis on IG!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would really like to thank everyone who worked in LaFynk. A lot of people business owners know that it takes a village to build something this impactful. And I would really like to thank everyone who believed in my ideas and contributed to my success.
