I woke up in the middle of the night one day and was startled and the first thought that came right into my mind was I can't believe that this is going to be the next 60 years of my life.

Because you work for a majority of your life,

and I was saying to myself, I can't believe

that this is going to be the next 60 years in my life.

And that was like the first real hint that I need is do something but as always I was traveling

the safety zone and the the risky zone so I sort of just had it in back my mind

but I went back to work didn't do much.

I came to visit my mentor in New York City because I'm a you know at this point you know I'm a huge

basketball fan and my favorite athlete of all time

LeBron James was playing was in the heat at a time he was playing the Knicks and it was

the excuse for me to go to New York City I'd always wanted to go you, you see New York City in every movie,

the backdrop or a TV show, so I was like, this is a chance for me to watch a game,

being New York City, and also visit my mentor. And the moment I landed I felt wow this is where I need to be I felt so energized I felt like I I had been let out of jail after 25 years there or something like that because all of a sudden you know the

lyrics to the Jay's in the Alicia Kiss song which is talking about New York City I would

inspire you I felt all those cliches because I started to have

random bursts of creativity and I had not felt that in a long time I don't think I felt that since I was 15 or

or 16 really, but I still wasn't the same place of work that I hated.

And then, you know, it was the highway in the morning and all of a sudden my lane is

coming to half you know a car comes and and you know gets into my lane so I

basically lose control of the car so I I hit the left

guard wheel and then I hit the right guard wheel.

Then all of a sudden I'm spinning around in circles and my first thought is I think I'm about to get T-boned and you know it becomes a three-car accident and I I slam into the bridge again the car lifts up I feel like I'm about to fall over the bridge and the first thought that came to mind is Tyre you're 22 years old and you've never done what you said you wanted to do.
