i'm having a bunch
turning nothing into something and that
concludes the proof's questionnaire
that was like it was pressure okay got
it okay cool
[Music]
so how do you feel after those questions
those heavy questions
i feel that there's so many things that
there's not just one answer to that i'm
very complex that there's like some
things i'm very particular about
others you know it takes a few
the answer is a combination of a few
different things speaking of
combinations you said that if you could
die and come back as a person or a thing
you'd come back as
between a dolphin and a falcon why those
animals uh
i mean just the perspective of being
able to fly i think falcons are super
majestic you know
i've always been into them and uh
dolphins are like
so carefree extremely intelligent and uh
they have fun
you know what i'm saying like they have
to have a good time and i love the ocean
i love being in the water in terms of
what you most dislike about
your appearance you said let's go back
to that one that's a good one
you know i'm comfortable in my own you
know i'm saying my own skin
i was like if i had to nitpick you know
i don't know maybe a little bit taller
yeah i mean i was like you know six four
six five maybe
i don't know and then you said that your
current state of mind is
extreme ambition is that always your
state of mind or just currently
it's always that i think i'm always like
thinking about what's next
you know what's what's the next you know
you know
thing for me to to solve i like i like
so
like problem solving i like i like
challenges i like
raising the bar from one thing to the
next i think that's
you know it's a it's a gift and a curse
right now especially
you know from from like this pandemic
you know being kind of slowed down a lot
naturally
i think i'm just like i'm even more like
ready to kind of like get going
for the talent you'd most like to have
you said to be able to play all
instruments any in particular okay
electric guitar and like piano i think
piano electric guitar are the two things
that that
two two uh instruments i would love to
like
master you know i think those are those
those are two for sure
do you think you'll try i've tried the
guitar at one point
and i've tried the piano uh i don't
think i want too bad enough
yet i will one day when i when i really
decide to like all right i'm going to do
this because once i set my mind on
something it's like
i'm pretty like i'm i'm pretty like
dogmatic with it so
we'll uh we'll we'll see if it gets to
that point
you know you had two slightly
contradicting answers
for if you could change one thing about
yourself you said more carefree
and for the trait you must deplore in
yourself you said being too easygoing
yeah because like easygoing for me is
like more or less
like very adaptable like i can like be
okay
like anywhere you know i'm saying which
sometimes leaves room for being
non-specific like you just kind of like
it's like it like like you kind of go
with the flow with anything it's like
whatever and that's something i was like
yeah i kind of like
sometimes wish i was very like more
specific and like
be very like you know saying like very
specific with certain things
the carefree element comes from more of
a like excuse my
my friends not giving you know i'm
saying
and like you know in which lends itself
to being
more specific because if you like if you
didn't really care you
you wouldn't care to say the things you
really
you really cared about that make sense
you said that mean intuitive
is your most marked characteristic have
you always felt intuitive
yeah i think i kind of grew up with it
like my intuition is crazy
um my gut instinct i've always listened
to it
no i can't say that i said i've always
listened to it i've listened to it more
as i got as i've gotten older but i
think
i credit that to 85 90
of my decisions and it kind of leans on
that
your greatest fear you said is being
forgotten would you say that's accurate
you know i've lost people in life you
know uh
from at a younger age you know to you
know recently
you know and and i think there's been
times where
you know you know people that
when i was younger you know i've uh you
know maybe forgotten a birthday
you know or you know would go a couple
weeks and not think about them you know
i'm saying i would feel
like damn like okay damn if i could not
think about somebody
that i i was that close to or had this
type of relationship with
uh what happens you know over time with
other you know i'm saying with other
things it was kind of like i said like
more like a sense of mortality like
being like being forgotten
you know um it was probably one of my
one of my biggest fears i think at a
point in time it would uh
it would drive me to like to work hard
you know to to to
to leave impact you know that's that
goes beyond
you know my physical body you know
life's life sure
you know i think maybe this past year
i've thought about it
more more times than not well
and you just always want to you know you
want to you want to
do the most you can and get the most out
of the time that you have
uh and make it count you know you said
your motto is
turning nothing into something what does
that mean to you i think
i think that's something that i've
always felt is something that i've
always done
and it really just kind of like
defined or kind of helped explain
why we go so hard it's like i've been
blessed to have you know to accomplish
accomplish you know things and you know
in the short amount of time that i've
been here
and it's always about the next thing the
next things next thing it's about the
journey
you know it's not it's not it's not
about one individual
like you know accomplishment why do i
enjoy doing
what what i do or you know it's the
taking nothing taking this idea this
thing
whatever it is and creating it and
turning into something like it's that
journey it's that process
that i think i'm addicted to and maybe
it'll fade as i get older who knows i
don't know but for now it's just like a
endless appetite for your mottos you
said
i'm having a bunch um what other mottos
do you have
live your dash you know what i'm saying
it's kind of like like you know you're
born
you know 87 dash you know whatever
you're gonna expire you know i'm saying
just live it live that live that space
you know that's something
i heard it somewhere a long time ago i
can't remember exactly where but
something i really liked when i was like
when i
read it i was like oh yeah that's i
i can get with that and then lead by
example you know
like leading by example moving silence
is another one you know you know
just you ain't got to announce
everything that you're doing you know
you just move quietly
you know if you're the quietest person
in the room the smartest
you know listen do you think these
questions overall have revealed
your true nature revealed to everyone to
everybody else
nothing for me it's like self-reflection
for me is something that you know i mean
i like to do
you know like you know people that are
close to me we we talk about
you know these types of things you know
have these discussions i think it keeps
us honest
like we call each other out we we
we create space to uh to vent
and you know i'm saying sometimes you
just gotta talk it out you can't keep it
bottled up
you know so uh we have healthy talks
like this
you know often so uh revealing for me
not so much
but you know for you know for whoever's
watching and listening you know maybe it
gives them a little bit more insight
you know on me you know so yeah
