Shoutout of the Week: Nick Frost ❄️ 🍕

This was meant to be sent out a while ago but I wanted to shout out a friend of mine Nick Frost and his new company Bello Pizzas. I first meet Nick back in late 2021 when I was first creating Project Unicorn and I was asking him for his advice on the platform. He mentioned some pretty good advice and I always thought he would be a good founder if he gave it another shot. Fast forward to 2023, and he is launching Bello Pizza, a black and queer owned business. I first hired Nick to cater for one my events during LATW last year and it was great experience! It added an extra touch of flavor to my event as guests could order customized pizzas to their liking while being able to enjoy the atmosphere.

A couple of months later, I hired Nick to run a pizza cooking class with the Fractional team for an offsite we had in San Diego. It was absolutely amazing! With such short notice, Nick was able to set up a cooking class to teach the team how to make pizzas and he even provided a small goodie bag for all the team members. I still have my goodie bag as a reminder till this day. You may be wondering why am I telling you all this? Well, It’s because I wanted to let you all know, if you need a killer catering service that can help you for your upcoming event, consider using Bello Pizza’s, you won’t regret it. They have worked with plenty of other companies to host events during LATW, Tech Summits, and even music festivals! So don’t be scared and reach out to Bello Pizza’s if you want to learn more HERE.

🚨 Announcement 🚨

I’m hosting an event for LATW with Jonathan Chang and Legendary Ventures. It’s going to be pretty exclusive but I’ll be giving away 5 tickets to select readers of IRL LA. Did I also mention this event is the largest budget I’m working with? 👀
