Today we’d like to introduce you to Miles Snow.
Miles, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
I moved to LA three years ago with two suitcases, a vision, and nothing in terms of work or housing lined up. After bouncing around the first year or so I was able to build connections through music and photography that have evolved over time to larger opportunities. Since, I have been lucky enough to shoot content at Madison Square Garden, Red Rocks, Rolling Loud and more. I have expanded on many of these same connections to start bridging the gap between food and entertainment. My main focus now is to build my food blog and continue to introduce people to some of the best hidden gem restaurants in the city of LA but also wherever we travel for artists shows.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
It was never really a smooth road but that’s the beauty of it. Because of that fact, I take nothing for granted and am extra grateful for what is happening now. It’s important to take pride in the struggle and build your character during times of doubt. One of my first memories a month after moving here was when I bought my first car which broke down days later, on Christmas eve. I had just started working two jobs so I had to uber to work that night and then work a double the next morning on Christmas day. My first living situation here fell through two times after I put a deposit on the apartment and I ended up living on my friend Riley’s couch for two months (it was originally supposed to be two days). There were many other times of uncertainty but that comes with building something you believe in. At times you have to convince others what you’re working towards will work before it has ever produced tangible results. Persistence kept and still keeps me going but it really wasn’t until a year ago when I had churned over outcomes that I am truly proud of and am now able to build my platform up on. I want to thank those that continued to believe in me during the early stages and had faith before they saw any results. They’re a big reason I’m where I am today.
Stay Eatin’ Bruh – what should we know? What do you do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
We are an outgoing and informative brand that specializes in showcasing some of the best food locations (currently) focusing on the LA area. We work to help up and coming businesses gain recognition and clientele by promoting and raising awareness of what they have to offer. Our content runs from photos and vlogs to word of mouth promotion.
I’m most proud of the fact that we stuck with it. Building an idea from the ground up takes a lot of resiliency and failures before full fruition. Making food the main focus sets us apart from others. We have a lot of industry connections that you would assume someone strictly in the TV/Music entertainment sector would utilize. Instead, we are combining the two. Everybody enjoys good food and it’s interesting to hear creative perspectives and traditions behind a dish. What does your favorite artist like to eat, which music venue has the best catering? Small questions like these help set us apart and give a window into the entertainment world that can go unseen otherwise. I also still do photoshoots for artists, concerts and studio sessions but shooting food is just as fun. And the food doesn’t talk or move as much as humans haha.
What is “success” or “successful” for you?
I think that life is measured by gratitude and the path that you’ve left for others not necessarily what you’ve built for yourself. So for me, if you’re able to create/provide for those around you and help make positive changes in the world through what you do, you’re successful. Are you happy with what you do, when you look in the mirror are you proud of the accomplishments and personal qualities that person carries? If so you’re successful or on your way to it, at least in my book.
