Who is Alex Ikonn?

I am a dreamer and a creator. I co-founded several successful businesses (Luxy Hair, Five Minute Journal, and Productivity Planner). I also run Dreamers & Creators, a creative agency that allows me to pursue and work on new business ideas. I am fortunate enough to share all of my entrepreneurial and life activities with my lovely wife and business partner, Mimi Ikonn. We are also angel investors and have invested in great companies like Calm, Shyp, Sprig, Tradesy, and others.
My YouTube channel is my outlet to deliver value to people as I go along my journey and learn things along the way that I want to share with others.
You want to know what’s my ultimate secret to life? I am here to deliver value! That is all. This is my ultimate secret to life.

Equipment that I use in my videos:
Blogging camera: I switch between Canon G7X* ( ) and Sony RX100 IV ( ) *I recommend G7X as it’s way cheaper and easier to use.
Big Camera: Canon 6D ( ) Best full-frame camera for price IMO
Lenses: Canon 50mm f/1.2L ( ) and Canon 16-35 f/2.8L ( ) These both are amazing lenses but are expensive. If you are starting out just get a Canon 50mm f/1.8 ( ) it’s only $99
