Artist Harold Otis | HeARTbeat of the City Hardcover Journal

$24.95
Every great city has a HeARTbeat — that vibrant, electric pulse found in its cultural hubs, its street corners, its late-night sounds and early-morning aromas. What's your city? When you travel, what place gives you THAT feeling — the rumble of subway cars, the glow of city lights, the hustle and the hum of a place fully alive? We all have that one special place that feels like home even when we've never lived there. Get Harold's HeARTbeat of the City Hardcover Journal and recreate it on the page — plan your next trip, relive your favorite memory, or simply write your way back there. Harold Otis is a Des Moines-born entrepreneur, connector, and creative spirit whose life has been shaped by resilience, gratitude, and an unshakeable belief in the power of the human heart. Raised on the East Side of Des Moines by his adoptive mother Mildred — a woman born in 1920 who raised twelve children, her own family, and ultimately adopted Harold at age two — he learned early what it means to lead with love, show up with integrity, and never stop building. His professional journey began at fourteen, detasseling corn in the fields of Iowa at 4am, earning enough to buy his first pair of Jordan 4s — still his favorites today. From there, Harold moved through restaurants, gyms, corporate sales, and talent acquisition, always gravitating toward the role he was born for: helping people grow. Whether coaching underperforming sales teams into confident contributors, training new hires, or connecting the right person to the right opportunity, Harold has spent his career as a quiet force multiplier in the lives of those around him. The brand Harold brings to the Kate Shu Collective — Mind, Body, HeART — reflects the philosophy at the center of everything he does. The mind, the body, and the heart are not separate systems. They are one. And when they fall out of alignment — through heartbreak, loss, or the accumulated weight of a life fully lived — the path back is through honesty, reflection, and the courage to heal out loud. "Everyone has to start from somewhere." — Harold Otis About this Journal: • Size: 5.5" × 8.5" — the perfect companion, at home or on the go • 80 lined pages of cream-colored paper • UltraHyde hardcover with a rich, luxurious feel • Cream ribbon page marker and matching elastic closure • Expandable inner pocket for recipes, notes, cards, and keepsakes • Print quality is exceptional — vivid, true-to-life, and exactly as pictured A Kate Shu Collective exclusive, available only at the Monarch Shoppe.
