Cole is definitely one of my biggest inspirations. I’ve been watching lyrical lemonade since 2016, and to see his evolution over the past seven years has been a really incredible journey. I’ve been directing music videos since 2020 and hearing the advice he has for filmmakers and creatives motivates me to keep grinding and following my dreams. This is definitely my favorite interview of his, keep up the great work Arshan. Congrats on 100k!
Shout out to KTO and Cole for this. KTO conducted an amazing interview and Cole was willing to open up and give amazing answers. Respect to both of you
Been following Cole for years now and seeing this too just really nails how hugely inspiring and such a breath of fresh air and down to earth this guy is.
I’ll always credit Cole for sparking my interest in taking videography serious. I’ve wanted to shoot MVs, instead doing commercial and wedding work, but i’ve found ways to be creative in those lanes thanks to his unique style and constant innovation. Real ass dude, and same goes for you Arshan and the KTO crew. Inspiring content as always
KTO always brings a fresh take to interviews, and this one with cole is no exception! The progress of Kidstakeover is impressive asf and its crazy to see what determination and a plan can do. Its refreshing to see content that breaks away from the usual. In an era of basic interviews, this one stands out without a doubt. Keep pushing boundaries, KTO! 👏🔥
Huge interview man, I commented this on the IG post about this too but this interview really does feel like a full circle moment for you. Been watching since that first Pierre interview, and from a fellow brown dude, your content has been consistently inspirational to me. You breaking down years of stigma by doing what you do bro. Sky is the limit
That first 30 second clip is so true. Being a chef money has never mattered, i absolutely love what im able to do. Its so full filing and i get to share my love through food. Nothing has ever made me happier and its not a job when you love it. I couldn't of asked for more with my life. I got up at 3am to be at work til 4am and work until most midnights without taking my 2 days off each week. Its not work to me. I hope others find that in life. I can't imagine having a job that you hate to wake up to. That almost makes it impossible. Prays to those still on that journey trying to find what they love in life, i hope y'all find it.💯💙💙💙
I literally KNOW that you are both super wise people now that I have been blessed to watch this from my art studio . Sending you guys love and can't wait to see what both of you create in the future . I will keep my eyes on both of you .
2 creatives in this industry that stay ahead of the curve & never fail to give people their flowers where flowers are due. mad respect to both of them. super insightful, super inspiring. this one of them ones for me.
This is so good, that I can't find words to describe the content and the context of this interview between the two of them. Such a nice conversation that I wish they could go on for at least another hour LOL.. Well done guys!
such a good interview. i loved the 2016-2018 chapter of lyrical lemonade but im more excited for what he has next. i see bigger things for cole and KTO.
this interview was amazing & really inspirational, love Arshaan, love Cole, thank you for sharing this with us..this was very much needed.. also nice t-shirt you’re wearing at the end 👀
