Life, Values & Legacy: Our Chat with Meikhel Philogene of Downtown Miami

We recently had the chance to connect with Meikhel Philogene and have shared our conversation below.

Meikhel, really appreciate you sharing your stories and insights with us. The world would have so much more understanding and empathy if we all were a bit more open about our stories and how they have helped shaped our journey and worldview. Let’s jump in with a fun one: What is something outside of work that is bringing you joy lately?
I am a big fan of sports, so I have been dialed in. Can’t wait for the NFL season to officially kick off. Go Fins!

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I am the founder and CEO of M.E.I. Recordings, a public relations (PR) firm, and Psalm Infinity, a clothing company. I am also the founder and EIC of M.E.I. News, a media outlet.

Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. Who saw you clearly before you could see yourself?
God.

Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
Many times, haha. I think when you start a business, self-doubt is a given. But, eventually, quitting is no longer a thought or an option. You have to push through the idea of giving up as it is a marathon and not a sprint. Eventually, things start falling into place and you get a good system going.

So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. What important truth do very few people agree with you on?
That everything in life is gray – nothing is black-and-white.

Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: If you knew you had 10 years left, what would you stop doing immediately?
Stop working so many hours, haha.
