I would like to dedicate this post to kindness.

When I was in New York City a few weeks back, I had the opportunity to learn more about a friend of mine that is quite dear to me. We discussed how he had a few pivotal moments in his life that had changed everything for him. He met two people that gave him immense opportunity and then those people ended up ultimately sculpting his career path. I got to thinking how I've always entirely believed that I am where I am at, because of the place I was in, the people I met and the experiences that happened to me along the way...

Dear Friends,

What a wonderful year it has been. I would like to say thank you to everyone that reads Coco Zaza- subscribers, partners and friends: you bring me a joy that I will never fully be able to express, but I appreciate you continuing to stop by...

Checking-In from New York

December 11, 2015 Coco Zaza

Back in New York and loving my life. New York is one of those places that gets under your skin (in a good way). It's the kind of place that makes you have anxiety and keeps you on your toes. It's so hyper competitive that you are constantly in good company with top tier talent in every industry, so it encourages you, whether you like it or not, to have this insatiable work ethic. Understanding the cities complex culture takes time, but once you taste a spoonful of what the city can offer you- you'll be hooked...

Amor Porteño

I've been acting as quite the philobat lately, not really knowing what direction a few things are headed, but I quite like it that way. Uncertainty is obviously extremely taxing on your heart, body and mind...

Thoughts from a Commuter Flight

May 7, 2015 Coco Zaza

What I'm assuming goes through a guys head when I'm wearing joggers, sneakers and a snap back, while traveling with my carry-on luggage: Look at this girl. She thinks she's so urban with those tennis shoes on and that baseball cap (why it has a flat rim is beyond me) with those overly obnoxious over-the-ear headphones, which I hate...

Rayuela

Just last week, a good friend of mine asked me if he should invest in real estate in New York City, because he had read an article on LinkedIn recommending it a couple of weeks prior and he wanted to put his money somewhere safe for a few years. What a horrible idea!

My Happy Birthday

April 10, 2015 Coco Zaza

Greetings, friends.

Yesterday was my birthday. Over the past few years, I have had some of the most exciting, challenging and happiest years of my life. People often ask me how I am able to go through what I do and are able to stay sane. I don’t have an answer for them...

Mr. Lam

This is my favorite winter coat and I wear it all the time. I've been sequestered here in New York for the past few weeks without traveling (rare), but to my surprise, it's still been rather cold...

Pale with Pain and Passion

New York! New York! New York!

Oh gee, you are my home, my love, my jungle. You make me pale, you give me pain, but you always fill me with passion...
