Special Feature an In-depth Interview With Fabricio De Grandis By Moises Ravelo A personal brand is a reputation that will convey to your audience the image you portray (regardless if you are being the real you, a better version of you or someone else all together), it’s your values, your vision, and your mission in a consistent manner through photograph.  Especially, on Instagram. Instagram has served as a type of self-promotion and marketing. You begin by setting the mood for your Branding (sexy, intellectual, tutorial, a humorist, etc.) People are fascinated by good looking, sexy, smart, wealthy, splashy people. Having said that, we all know that Social Media has never been a confessional of holy truth’s nor is it outside of the realm of possibility that there are people who make up a fantasy image or persona. On occasion they have complete fake profiles stocked with pictures of a life that isn’t theirs. They throw everything picture they can steal including one of their imaginary dog Rover. All this in an effort to catfish anyone and everyone, and some appear convincingly real. I must confess, I thought for a moment that Fabrizio was a catfish. I saw pictures of a […]

Special Feature LUIS FERNANDO GONZALEZ By Moises Ravelo https://www.h2omiami.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Luis-Fernando-Hotfer.mp4 Luis a/k/a Hotfer93  is the epitome of what true success is like when in the business of self-marketing on social media with a whopping 1.6M fans and followers on Instagram alone. It is very easy to see why, his looks and physique can be compared to something you’d see in a museum etched and carved in white marble. He is a fantastic person who is willing to share with the world his good looks and spunky personality. We didn’t have time for a formal interview but he did give me a quote that best fits him and his lifestyle written by Oscar Wilde to share with his fans and followers. Which is, “you will always be fond of me, I represent to you all the sins you have never had the courage to commit.” I thought the quote was sexy and genius and made my imagination run wild with thoughts of every sin I could possibly imagine him committing.  Anyway, as a special favor to him can someone teach him how to get verified on Instagram, to say that he deserves the status of public figure with the amount of followers […]

He is a personal trainer and an entrepreneur who gives his followers tutorials and tips on working out and seems to be a successful fitness instructor and businessman. I wanted desperately to interview Bremen but it wasn’t meant to be. I was interested in him because he is one of just a handful of Influencers that have taken their influence to the next level and built a career, various companies and sold products through this massive crowd of admirers and fans that he has amassed. His talent and eye for marketing and business is highly developed and speaks volumes about his brilliance, his goal oriented and evident methodology, is ambitious and savvy.

He is someone that could provide a path or a map to becoming a successful Ultimate Influencer and teach a class on how to use your influence effectively. He is a go-getter and goal setter […]

Special Feature an In-depth Interview With AINGERU VILABRILLE By Moises Ravelo A/K/A aingeru_v with a following of 227k in such a short period of time, he has an excellent future as an Ultimate Influencer.  Aingeru is from Bilbao, Spain and is now living in London. He is pursuing a career in modeling. H2O Miami wasn’t able reach him and so this is an unauthorized short note of recognition, however, when you are a celebrity they say, “let them talk about you, the time to worry is when they stop talking about you.” So eventhough we couldn’t reach him I figured since the name of the game in social media influencer circles is after all ; publicity, publicity, publicity, I decided he wouldn’t mind if I included him in this issue. Worst that can happen is that he double his fan base.  Also, I felt he deserved to be include primarily because I can easily see he has a bright future as an influencer, model, etc. Secondarily, I have taken note of his very well thought-out strategy to grow his fanbase exponentially quickly and I think it’s the work of genius. Evidence of such, are his numbers which seem to skyrocket […]

Special Feature an In-depth Interview With Ramiro Lozano By Moises Ravelo   As I sit and look at Ramiro’s picture, I am reminded of my own youth, and I find a sort of familiarity between me and young Ramiro’s innocent wide eyed look that can only come from someone that hasn’t been through the meat grinder of life, sort of speak. Maybe the meat grinder is not meant for everyone. Perhaps, it’s just a special treat for the few, the most deserving lots of miscreants. To say that Ramiro looks like Michael Angelo’s statue of The David is a cliché, but never have I spoken truer words. And, if I am lying then may the Greek Gods strike me down.  Ramiro’s eyes have a certain brightness and sparkle that only kindness and hope can bring. The kind of eyes that is indicative of a life well lived and of a mind filled with the natural opioids endorphins it produces.  He exudes carefree, even as you notice that he is a man with drive, determination and many dreams. Looking at him made me feel young and hopeful and long for the days where I was the same. With an intense feeling […]

Special Feature an In-depth Interview With ROBERT J PORTALES By Moises Ravelo Roberto is 27, was born and raised in Tampa, and began playing sports at 4-years-old. He went on to play football and wrestling in high school and graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 2011. It was here where Roberto earned a B.S. in Economics and a commission as an officer in the U.S. Army. In May 2012 he deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, where he served as the platoon leader for a multifunctional intelligence team.

He now lives in Los Angeles with his boyfriend, which is concerning for me as a fellow Angelino because if he leaves his windows open at bedtime there’s a good chance, he […]
