BEST MOMENTS

"I've had to delve deeper into my past and start to note down some of the things that I've carried with me, the footprints that I've left behind on my journey."

"I really think that my random journey is not actually that random. When you look at the footsteps that I have trodden, the clues that have been left behind, you see how I am."

"Footprints leave clues. What clues have your footprints left and what clues have the footprints of your people left? Have you tried to understand it? If not, why not?"

"I've learned something in every interaction that I've taken to developing the person that I am today."

"The communication from DJing, the understanding the customer from DJing, and the importance of really getting to know the customer."
