I’ve been a garbage man, a sandwich artist, an entrepreneur, a promoter, a TV host, a live host, a DJ, a manager, writer, an event coordinator, an advertising exec, a political strategist, and more … all satisfying on some level. The dark truth of my existence, however is that while I enjoy my many projects, none come close to the feeling of 2008 - 2009 when I found myself (quite randomly) thrust into one of the most important elections in recent memory.
Why is that? Why is it that nothing can compete? I think the answer layeth within the beauty of it all. I was doing something I was good at, but at the same time, doing something for the greater good. I’ve always wanted to be a part of change, and at that time I most certainly was.
I’ve shared this link profiling Linds Redding, because I deeply believe in the message. If you spend your time on this earth without trying to make an impact for good, what is the point of being here? I do not want to fade to black as the invisible man. It’s why I spend so much of my time trying to understand the world, debating right and wrong, and building towards something.
That something has finally come back around. While I can’t say what the next journey in my weird life script will be just yet, I can say I have taken on this role because so many have asked me to do so. I’ve taken on this role because I believe I can do something truly significant as a result.
I’m excited for the future.
