A statement by Ivan Tanev, the owner and founder of NOLA 7!

Dear all,

I would like to raise and express my concerns regarding the current global and significantly challenging and disrupting plight that we – not just as a professional establishment, but as a human kind – are facing and experiencing at the moment, as well as, however, emphasize my genuine and strong belief and confidence that we will – as we have already done multiple times before – together, as a unit, overcome this obstacle, as many others before, and become even stronger and better by doing so.

I do believe that repeating and presenting oversaturating banal clichés and facts that we are all already aware of is completely unnecessary, hence I would only prefer to stress my outlook that we are, quite possibly, in the midst of an occurrence, which is expected to cause fundamental and drastic repercussions and changes in terms of the world’s conventional routine, as we know and perceive it. I’m referring to, of course, the notable economic impact and aftermath, which is likely to alter and influence our lives to a considerable level. As in every burdensome and arduous situation, accomplishing a positive and successful outcome is very much a matter of appropriate, rational and pertinent adaptiveness and adjustment towards the presented characteristics and specifications of the circumstances. Only the truly motivated, capable and dedicated will survive and surmount the current calamity and its respective consequences and I can personally guarantee and assure you that we - at Nola 7 - possess the dedication, the vision and the capacity in order to do so.

In such strenuous times, your trust, your belief and confidence in the positive resolution of this situation are unspeakably essential and crucial, as well as your understanding of the fact that we are – probably – only yet to expect and anticipate the peak of the logical turmoil induced by this global collapse. We need and count on you, on your ideas, energy and involvement, since – as I have always been proudly stating – Nola 7 is not just a random collection of people, but a community, a family, in which every substantial part is responsible for the next one, while the overall unit is – simultaneously – responsible for everyone. Yes, there will be likely unconventional and unprecedented measures and difficult decisions to plan and execute, but we know that we can and we will overcome this together, even if the odds are against us.

I vouch for unity, mutual understanding, respect and dedication towards our collective efforts, as these factors form the main prerequisite for success that we can currently rely and count on.

I trust you. Trust in us. Together we will succeed.

Take care and stay safe,
