Artur Lago-Varjapetian

Coming to America with $2000 in my pockets and a lot of dreams at age of 22 with no family or friends has taught me one valuable lesson: If one wants something really bad, one will be helped by many to get it as long as one truly appreciates the help provided.
I enjoy connecting creative people and businesses that I think can highly benefit each other. I love investing my life into my mentors, collaborative partners, and friends. I let it be the mission of my life.
My business doctrine is "never eat alone" by Keith Ferrazzi given to me by Robert J. Crowder on my day of distress that helped me to look at our business world from the right prospective. James Altucher's "Choose Yourself" offered to me by Michael DiMenna when I had a tunnel vision period in my life opened up windows into life full of fresh air. That's why, I'm here: to learn, to share, and to grow.
I wish I could include the names of all the people who inspire and motivate me.
Producing, connecting, coaching, marketing, reading, writing, dancing, and acting are the things that let me enjoy my well deserved sleep. Always searching for creative collaboration and inspiring friendships. Please contact me if you believe that I can be of any help to you and to your why. If you decide to visit Philadelphia, make sure to stop by Rodin Museum. If you come to Pomona, I will take to my favorite Lincoln Park. If you want to see Armenia, I'll give you the keys from our apartment there so you can enjoy you trip experiencing the authentic way of living in Armenia.
People ask why I am what I am. The answer is simple. After surviving a collapse of my country and a civil war as a child and young adult, I was blessed to witness the human kindness and generosity in the darkest places and moments. That's when dance and community helped me to preserve myself from life of crime, drugs, and desperation. They gave me power to dream big. And now, I keep fighting for my dream so that many more dreams can come true.
