Like I couldn't just sleep it off.

Went in, um, they put the EKG on you and you're like, you're having a heart attack.

Are you on cocaine, heroin, like being in Miami?

Like, no, I'm not on anything.

Like, well, you're having a heart attack.

They, um, I had, uh, two stents put in and had triple bypass.

And that's what changed my life.

I essentially recovered, uh, went into the partner's office I was working for, quit my job and decided to become an artist.

So, uh,

Well, a couple of things.

One is like...

You know, how, you know, my family, what am I going to do?

How am I going to take care of them?

Is there anything, you know, who are they going to think?

Where they are?

Are they?

But then also, like, as you sit there after recovery, you know, you go through this moment about, you know, what have I actually left here in this world?

When we're, as an urban designer and planner, you're there designing cities and communities that take 10 years or 20 years to evolve.

And I was like, I can't do anything that's just going to sit on a shelf.

I need to do things that are going to create an impact now.
