This article is from an interview conducted with Bold Journey Magazine. Link to original article at the bottom of this page.
We were lucky to catch up with Daniel Dino-Slofer recently and have shared our conversation below.
Daniel, we’re thrilled to have you on our platform and we think there is so much folks can learn from you and your story. Something that matters deeply to us is living a life and leading a career filled with purpose and so let’s start by chatting about how you found your purpose.
In my youth, I was often seen by the community at large as someone who, based on both character and curiosity, would get something done if asked. If there was a task at hand, I would often say ‘yes’ to it, whether I had the experience or not, as it was a valuable learning opportunity. As an introvert, it was both a helpful and fulfilling way to break out of my shell and try out different things, examples include volunteering for community youth organizations or creating visual art projects for local businesses. This broadened my understanding of what it means to be a servant leader that shaped the path I walk today.
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
As Founder and CEO of Lucent Designs Media International, a photography and media promotion company founded in 2018, I oversee a team of fifteen talented creators and countless associates who operate and maintain our brand across twelve countries.
What I love about our company is that we not only provide professional services to clients abroad, but we also cultivate cultural awareness and the appreciation of beautiful destinations and its people. Our followers and affiliates can enjoy our beautiful, strange, exciting, and captivating world lens through photography, video, music, and artistic mediums.
Our brand continues to grow, recently expanding to Mexico and soon Indonesia, inviting more opportunity to learn and provide excellent service to these regions and beyond.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Three key factors that influenced my journey are perpetual curiosity, the want to learn about the world around me, and building community. Coming from a small town in the days before the internet took off, I often found myself reading encyclopedias and looking at maps for recreation. In social settings, I found I had a natural talent to approach (or be approached by) others to initiate friendly conversation that would lead to long-lasting friendships. When the internet was commonplace, I quickly made friends online, with one individual from Japan that would eventually become co-founder of our company!
My advice to anyone is to take that initiative and put yourself out there and develop skills that would fulfill a need from people around you. This will show you the value of taking your skills and putting it to practical use. What better way to feel accomplishment in life than to see the legacy you build make a difference and inspire your peers.
Okay, so before we go we always love to ask if you are looking for folks to partner or collaborate with?
We are always looking for affiliation opportunities with up and coming creators! Whether they are photographers, artists, musicians, etc who are looking for that extra boost and exposure as they develop their brand, we invite everyone to apply for collaboration opportunities with us. We aim to help creators gain that solid footing to break out into the world and take their passion to places farther than they were before. All it takes is a quick message on our socials or through our website to to learn more about what we offer!
