I wanted to do something special this week and share my story and tell you how I got to where I am today. I am a 35 year old living in Brooklyn. I lost my father when I was 2 years old, and from that moment forward, my mom was raising 5 kids by herself. Sports have always played a big role in my life, because I was able to connect with mentors and coaches. My father wasn't around, but I found father figures through sports. I learned how to win, and more importantly how to lose. I also learned about myself and got the discipline to stay on track with school. When I graduated from high school, I stopped playing sports, and I needed something to fill the void, so I started making music. I spent hours in college scratching records. This led to me wanting to start an entertainment company. After barely graduating from college, all I wanted to do was travel. I travelled to Costa Rica solo, and it was one of the most powerful things that ever happened to me. I struggled to make money during the recession in 2009, and a good friend passed away in his sleep. It made me question the job I was doing, and I quit. It made me afraid of dying without having lived. That sent me in a new trajectory that I will tell you about in the next episode.

If you found this part interesting, make sure you come back next week for part 2, because this is where the story gets really crazy.
