I knew that I wanted to have my own business.
I wasn't sure to make exactly what business that would be, but Rob had a passion for filmmaking.

And ultimately that was the foundation for me saying,

So I didn't wait for my passion to hit me in the face.
And I think too many of us do that now.

I went and did something that I did well.
