Elevation Nation Sam Panitch & Parker Yablon

As young adults we have to make a lot of difficult decisions around how we spent our time, who we spend it with and what we choose to do. We talk through a big dilemma: why we want to spend so much effort on work focusing on our dream and at what cost? 

Archer Senft is an artist and entrepreneur from Baltimore, MD. He is the founder of Slimeyard an apparel brand based on his artistic creations. 

In 2015, Archer experienced a freak accident at the beach where he dove into a sandbar and fractured the C5 vertebra in his neck, leaving him paralyzed. After months and months of fighting, Archer was determined to recover and graduate high school on time just two years later. In 2017 he was able to graduate high school, enroll at The University of Pennsylvania and get back on track continuing to elevate himself and others in the real world.

Now Archer is focused on building Slimeyard by developing new apparel and art in his studio, living each day to the fullest. 

Archer's mental motto: "A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing".
