Laughter is a uniting force, it brings people together, and it makes hardship easier.
My true memory has been tainted by old home videos of my sister and I, ages 3 and 5 respectively, singing karaoke to Britney Spears' 'Lucky' in our living room, and tape recordings of my parents trying to elicit songs out of our throats at a similar or younger age.
Dad is a skilled athlete and runs his own football school for kids. While football is his entire life and he encouraged us to play, he still found time to take me to ballet and tennis lessons.
'Ready' is dedicated to young people who are not yet jaded and worn down by the realities of this world.
With San Cisco, young kids are more willing to yell at whoever is standing on stage. The difference between the yelling and the quietness is if the older crowd are quiet, they're showing you respect. When you do get a cheer back from them, it's special because they are actually listening.
I realised the animal agriculture industry is actually awful and tragic and I can't bear to be a part of that. The environmental impact of the agriculture industry, the health impact on us, there's all the reasons.
I take after my dad in the calm and measured way he approaches situations.
My biggest strength in life is that I'm good at learning and I'm really good at admitting when I'm wrong and recalibrating my perspective.

I read a lot, I write a lot, and I have conversations with people I think are intelligent and wise.
I'm all about preaching forgiveness and compassion.
