This powerful image is a living testament to the unyielding spirit of creativity, resilience, and self-empowerment. The bold #BESOMEBODY graffiti, painted on the legendary NDSM shipyard in Amsterdam, encapsulates a story that started with a dream and expanded into a global force. The piece was the result of a collaboration with my friend, Kash Shaikh, founder of Besomebody—a movement that gained national attention following his appearance on Shark Tank and later blossomed into a multi-million dollar company with the launch of BSB Group International.
Kash’s remarkable journey, from a challenging Shark Tank experience to the success of BSB Group, is a powerful narrative of perseverance, reinvention, and a drive to make a tangible impact. His story mirrors the core values of the Besomebody movement, which empowers individuals to tap into their potential and embrace their authentic selves, despite the obstacles they face.
On this particular day, along with close collaborators such as Josh Heuser, videographer Snow Rowe, and Speed Walton, we worked together to bring Kash’s vision to life. These early efforts helped to establish BSB Group International as a dynamic strategic growth agency, one that fuels entrepreneurship while providing much-needed support to businesses and workers affected by the economic repercussions of the Coronavirus pandemic.
This graffiti piece, created in the high-energy, creative space of NDSM, symbolizes the birth of something much larger—a movement where artistic expression and self-confidence intersect with business achievement and social impact. The image captures more than just an artwork; it embodies the essence of collaboration, the vision of entrepreneurs who dare to make a difference, and the beginning of a long-lasting change that resonates on both an individual and community level.
Through this collaboration, we aim to challenge and redefine traditional measures of success, merging art, business, and empowerment to create a unique ecosystem that uplifts and inspires others.
The photo immortalizes a moment where the desire to create and the ambition to inspire converge, laying the groundwork for future growth and the enduring journey of #BESOMEBODY.
