Co-Founder, A Club Called Rhonda | @omgregory

Why Him

In 2008, he created a hedonistic dance party that bridged the gap between straight and gay nightlife. In the decade since, he’s turned A Club Called Rhonda into a local institution and exported the concept to cities from Paris to Tokyo.

Where does your drive come from?

It comes from a desire to better myself and to drive progress for the various communities I represent.

What daily habits keep you going?

I would love to say I’ve figured out a way to get all the sleep

I need, but sadly that’s still something I’m tinkering with. For now, coffee in the morning is absolutely essential to kickstart my brain. And listening to music during the work day helps me feel more productive.

What simple change to your routine has had a profound effect on those around you?

Calling, texting or DMing as soon as I think of someone—even if I don’t have a lot to say. It’s sometimes hard to find time to respond to everyone, but a simple text when I’m thinking of someone helps me stay at least semi-connected.
