• Highlight • I wasn't even supposed to be at NAMM this year. I was going to stay at home and nurse this bad cold that knocked me out this whole week. I decided to go Saturday because my one of my endorsers wanted to introduce me to some folks, so I made the trek to Anaheim. I had no expectations and wanted to just have a good time since every other year I've been here I'm running around like a mad person. I took my time, said hello to all my endorsements, chilled outside enjoying the food truck life and music, and ran into some friends from around the world. Then re-connected with a dope woman @trufinessa with Tribe Unity and were vibing on life, the industry etc. Then @michaelbearden walks up and we usually see each other at a lot of different events and say a quick hi, but yesterday, his words really meant the world to me. This path is not an easy one, and to hear his encouragement fueled me with some extra energy and reinforcement to never give up. It's so funny how if I hadn't been talking to Vanessa, i wouldn't have run into him, if I wasn't hungry I wouldn't have run into her, and if I didn't take my time and see that all these paths and connections are leading me somewhere... I don't know where I'd be. But I am here. And I can see clearly now.
