People of Florida 05 – Chris Krimitsos from Tampa Bay and Guest Storyteller Wilkine Brutus from West Palm Beach

A Connector of People and Businesses, Plus a Teenager’s Treacherous Voyage to Florida on a Boat.

I’ll introduce you to two people I feel very privileged to know. First up, we’ll meet Chris Krimitsos from Tampa Bay, founder of Podfest Multimedia Expo, among many other accomplishments. He has impacted so many lives, businesses, and industries in Florida, that if you don’t know him, you need to. And, he’s going to discuss how he’s translated his own life lessons into a story he shares in his new book, Start Ugly. Then, our storyteller today is Wilkine Brutus from West Palm Beach, a reporter with the Palm Beach Post who interviewed his mother, Paulette Francois, for a podcast project he did called A Boat A Voyage. It’s her story of landing in Florida after her treacherous journey immigrating from Haiti. And, there are some interesting common threads between the subjects of this podcast–immigration, faith, ambition, and perseverance. And, at the end, I’ll share personal story of how I relate in particular to one of these people. So, stay tuned for that extra tid-bit. Listen in…
