The owner of the venue Live Oak in Nashville, Hasen Lott, took time to talk business with West CEO students via Zoom. Hasen is originally from Lanark, an Eastland HS grad, and former student of facilitator Le Hartman. His story is one of unexpected challenges, risk-taking, and a zig zag across the country to get to his current business venture. He shared his blessings of his community and family after his father's severe injuries in a traffic accident. And credited his upbringing as motivation to create a successful life, as well as wanting to make his community proud. Two pieces of advice emphasized: talk and learn from to everyone and surround yourself with the best people.
