Questions for Irakli Makatsaria #geliusinspiration

Irakli, tell our readers briefly about your activities.

I am a marketer by education and, at first, after graduation, I worked in this area. However, I found myself in a completely different direction and realized myself in what brings me real pleasure - I became a film producer with my own production in Georgia and Ukraine.

Also, two years ago, television came into my life and I tried myself as the host of a popular social talk show in Georgia. And I really really like to do this, which is why I have a good idea of ​​my future work in this direction.

I have been a licensed trainer for a year now. Together with Anita Lutsenko, we created the "Wow body gym" program, which allows girls to learn how to exercise and eat properly in order to keep their body in great shape. From time to time I also conduct my own training. In 2019, I created my jewelry brand "Makatsaria jewelry" together with my charitable foundation. This is a direction that I will also actively promote this year.

What is your first thought when you wake up in the morning?

Every morning I start with the thought of how grateful I am that all my close and dear people are healthy. And I always think about the values ​​that are in my life.

A person can be considered successful if he does what he loves. Is it so for you?

Of course! When a person does what he loves, this is definitely a sign of success, because everything in his life turned out the way he wanted. This is very important for our moral and physical condition. After all, if you force yourself to do something every day that you don’t enjoy, your work will never be good and none of your projects will be successful.

If you had a year of life for a vacation, what would you do during this time?

You know, I probably would have been doing the same thing as now. Because all my fields of activity, all projects for me are work and leisure. After all, I travel a lot, meet wonderful people and learn a lot of new things. The only thing I would devote more time to this year is my family and loved ones.

What inspires you?

I think the most important thing that inspires me is the people who surround me. True, I was lucky to get an environment of incredible people who charge everyone around with their energy. When you see how each of them sets incredible goals for themselves and achieves them, no matter what, it’s simply impossible not to be inspired to accomplish your own. Traveling also recharges me a lot, even if it is related to work. With each city I learn a lot of interesting and informative things, so quite often it gives me new ideas for my projects. And, of course, sports. It is present in my life almost daily and, despite grueling workouts, it brings me a strong boost of energy and inspiration.

You have been living in Ukraine for a couple of years now. Traveling to other cities and countries, do you have a desire to return to Kyiv?

Of course! For me, Ukraine, Kyiv have become a second home. And every time I come back here, I have a clear feeling that I am coming home!

What music is playing in your headphones?

My playlist is very diverse. It all depends on the mood, on what I need to think about. I respect all musical trends, especially after the Dancing with the Stars project, where there are no restrictions on style and you need to get used to, enjoy the music in order to feel it and give it 100% on the floor.

I have classical, electronic, pop music on my list, like Michael Jackson, which is always on my playlist. I am not attached to only one style, to one artist. I love to experiment. Everything in this world changes so quickly, develops, new talented groups and performers appear, new directions, whose work you want to follow.

You recently launched your own jewelry brand. Tell us how you came up with this idea? What are your goals?

I always want to do something more. One of my goals was to create a charity project that would bring not only joy to people, but also benefit. This is how I came up with the idea of ​​creating a jewelry brand Makatsaria jewelry, part of the money from which will be directed to charity in order to be able to help those who need it.
It was a completely new experience for me as I had never done anything like this before. And, to be honest, I am very happy to realize that in such a short period of time our project has won the hearts of many people and I already manage to implement everything that I put into it. We recently launched a collaboration with the Zarina jewelry house - a wonderful collection dedicated to all lovers. Therefore, I am sure that even more cool things await the Makatsaria jewelry project in the future.

Imagine that you won $1,000,000 in the lottery. Where would you spend such a prize?

It may sound trite, but I would definitely donate this money to charity and do something good on a large scale.
Because I am sure that I will definitely be able to earn money for myself and my relatives myself.

A few wishes from you to our readers

The most important thing I want to wish is to never give up and be sure that everything will work out. You just need to put a lot of effort and desire, because without it you will not achieve a result. And, of course, faith in yourself!
And I would also like to wish everyone to be more attentive and kind to each other. After all, we ourselves create our every day and the people around us, even if we don’t notice it.
