We’re looking forward to introducing you to George Simpson. Check out our conversation below.
George, it’s always a pleasure to learn from you and your journey. Let’s start with a bit of a warmup: What is something outside of work that is bringing you joy lately?
Hello. I’ve found joy in this new chapter in my life that I’m in right now. Meeting new likeminded people. Stepping outside and touching grass, drinking water, and breathing.
Lately I was feeling defeated from recent decisions. But now I am going to temple and meditating more to find that inner peace.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Okay, well my name is George Simpson. I am CEO and Founder of Sarcarrogance Media Group, a completely black owned and operated media network. We are based out of Baltimore, Md. We have been in operation for nearly five years now.
What makes us unique is we are not your average media group. We focus on the four points. Which are Learning, Community, Entertaining, and Teaching.
I started the company during the pandemic as a way to share my story and to hear others stories. We are currently looking to expand the company and find sponsors that are willing to partner with us. By the time your readers read this we will in the heart of getting ready for our end of the year event, a 70’s party.
Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. Who saw you clearly before you could see yourself?
That’s easy Ms. Barbara Melfa. She was my high school drama and English teacher. She saw the creative and performer in me way before I did. I grew up in Southwest Baltimore in the mid 90’s, weren’t a lot of options for teens back in those days. She kept me out of trouble as she could. Those moments of free to be myself were the catalyst to where I am at today.
When did you last change your mind about something important?
They call me King Pivot. I always have a plan B and C. So if something goes left I go right. 4+4 =8 but so does 5+3
Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
My friends would say I love others. More than myself at times. They would also say equality is very important. My mother grew up in the Civil Rights era so equality for all is a true passion. I also have a passion for ending homelessness and depression. I am dealing with depression and I’m a suicide survivor. I also have spent time on the street homeless. Which makes it more meaningful to me. Every year SMG has clothing and food drives for the less fortunate. If you want to donate or be apart of them let me know. I know the boss lol.
Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
When it’s all said and done, he did it his way. No one altered the dream or try to change the vision. He stepped off the porch and did the best way he could. Some things worked and some didn’t but that’s how life works.
