Oh, thank you. That was so kind. I love that.

Well, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks for taking the time to learn people's stories and share them. I really appreciate what you do.

You know, I say all the time that if you don't have something bigger than yourself to hold you into something, you'll sway always. And so for me, my because is because of my best friend. And I say this in a, you know, non-religious kind of way, but genuinely in a best friend kind of way. Jesus is my best friend. And we talk often and we share time together.

And that is the reason why, and the, because what I do, um, is because of the time that I spend with him. And, you know, I say none of us have ever tried to sell our best friend. Cause that would be weird, right? Like, like try to say so much, like,

dude I got this best friend and she's this and she's that and you like try to sell them her like you want to buy her or something um so Jesus is just like my best friend that I don't try to like convince anybody of it's just I just live life with him and and because of that what his desires are what he wants and the things we've talked about um are kind of what I'm doing now you know and and just infuse that in everything I put my hand to on the daily so

You know, grit's one of those things that we all want, but we maybe don't want to have to go through what we have to go through to get grit. Somewhere along my crazy little life, when I was young, I just latched on to grit to persevere. Young in my life, I, my dad was hit by a drunk driver and killed. And so very young, I learned that there isn't an option of quitting.

You know, that when pain and tragedy strikes, yeah, you're going to go through a lot. But you're going to keep going. Another day is going to come and you have the option to make it what you want it to be. And, you know, my grandmother, when I was little, who I was really close to, used to tell me, nobody has time for a pity party.

So we're going to get out of that and we're going to put our big girl panties on and we're going to do this thing, you know? And so young, I just chose to look at tragedy in the face and say, man, this sucks, but a better day can come. This too shall pass. And if I keep pushing on, if I keep...

trying you're so right on the other side is a beautiful sunny day is goodness is success if we just don't quit and so young I was faced with a lot of really hard tragedy and obstacles and I think when you go through something really hard and you make it you survive you realize oh I

okay it was just hard for a bit but there is light at the end of the tunnel there is hope there is you know goodness on the other side if I don't quit one of my favorite things to do is fly and we've I've taken some lessons and I have flown in different planes and stuff like that but one of my favorite things is

Once you take off and you pierce those clouds and you get above the clouds, you start to realize you can see for forever, one. And then two, you fly a few minutes and then there's no more clouds and you're seeing the ground again. So, you know, you may be in a stormy season. That's just really a facade. It's going to pass.

Like you're just going to go a little bit further and it's going to be bright and sunny and a whole nother thing. And then you may fly for a little while longer and you're back in the clouds. You can't see it all. You know, I just think there's just such a parallel in life and that there's up and downs of life.

And I choose to look on the brighter side to know that there's just on the other side of that storm is probably something really great.

Yeah. Yeah. I love it so much. It's like so peaceful up there. I don't know why I feel, and I guess I am a little closer to God, right? If I'm up a little higher.

Well, I could be that too. Actually, I did hear that. Part of this journey with God, I was like, what? I don't know anything about this industry. I've never been in a studio a day in my life. And he's wanting me to build this studio and do all these films and all this stuff. And I'm like, I know nothing about that. And he's like, perfect. That's perfect.

That means you got to lean on me and trust me the whole way through. And I was like, Right, but I kind of feel like I need to know something. And he's like, no, just trust me. Just trust me. And so I really trusted him through the whole thing and each step of the way. And that's a little bit like flying, you know? I mean, you got to jump a little bit and then trust, but...

Somebody once told me, if you never jump, you never soar. And so in order to fly, you've got to take that risk and you've got to take the jump and trust that something is going to catch you along the way.

Well, my passion is for making the world a better place. And my passion is helping others achieve what they believe they were put here to do or the message in which they have. Just like we're doing here on this show. That's what I started off saying. I love what you do. I love that you take the time to... Learn about people and share people's stories to give them a voice in this world.

Because I think that is very important. And having a studio to tell those stories, whether it be through a book, a podcast, a radio show, a commercial, Instagram, social medias, movies. Whatever that version of communication is, I try to help sit with people and learn about them and say, this is maybe what is the best scenario for you. So that's my passion in this.

As far as if you've ever asked me if I've thought about being a producer or director or... Nah, not so much. You know, I work with a lot of those people and I love that. And when you sit with somebody that is really talented in one of those roles, you quickly realize you are so not that, you know, that is what they were meant to do.
