What did you want to be when you were a child/ teenager? A teacher.

Are doing your dream job? 
I think I am. Although I’m not a teacher, I’m doing my dream job, yes. I’m about to CREATE daily.

Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years? 
Me using my gifts and “talent” to help others at a bigger capacity. Every year, it should be growth. My ability to help people should be growing. If it’s not, then I am doing something wrong.

Are you happy with where you are in life? 
Yes and no. I'm happy because I am able to live in a very creative state. I’m not happy because I think that can be borderline contentment. I like to stay working towards more and not be stagnant. Once I’m a billionaire, I’ll be really happy.

What more do you want to do with your life? 
I want to be a great dad. If I never get the Grammy, if I raise kids with love and kindness, they have the ability to change the world. Hopefully the cycle will continue with the love that I give to my family. And they will infect others with their kindness and “pay it forward” with their lives.

What drives/motivates you? 
The fear of failure. It keeps me moving all the time.

What else do you do? 
I don’t do much. I learn. I listen. I try to take in as much info as I can. People can give you life lessons if you just listen and watch. You can see very easily where you want your life tt go and how to get there.
