thinking
I think I was about nine years old when I got my first job.
entrepreneur trying seven
I was trying to be an entrepreneur at seven years old.
baseball kids fit
I was never one of those kids that felt like I had to go to practice or that I was being made to go to practice or forced to play the game. Baseball was a natural fit for me.
baseball brother dad
Baseball I played literally from the time I can remember. My dad had played, my older brother played, so I always wanted to be like my older brother. That just kind of was a natural thing that I fell into.
You have to know the story that you're telling, and you have to know the tone in which the story is being told.
growing-up
I really didn't grow up with a lot of Superman stuff.
temptation done
I never wanted the temptation to imitate or emulate something that had been done beforehand.
guy acting someday
I imagined that being someday in pro ball I would have been Kevin Costner in Bull Durham. If I had never discovered acting, I literally would have been that guy.
baseball done
Even though you make twelve hundred bucks a month, if I was making twelve hundred bucks a month to play baseball, I would have done it. I would have stayed.
home guy
I literally would have been the guy that would have played pro ball until they came to me and said, "Go home, you don't work here anymore."
thinking mind changing-your-life
I love telling stories, I love for someone to see something, and go, "Oh, wow, I've never thought of it that way." Because I've had those moments in my life, where I go, "Oh, my God, I've never looked or approached this topic and had that insight or had that idea come to mind," to where it changes your life, it changes the way you see certain things. I love that. I think that's such a cool thing that we get to do by sharing stories, whether they're fiction or nonfiction.
thinking important different
For me, I think it's such an important thing to hear other people's stories, because you do find ways that either you can learn something from them, or you can identify with something that they've gone through. You realize that maybe what you're going through in life isn't just specific to you, that somebody else understands it, or you talk to someone and all of sudden you see something in a completely different way because of what they've said to you or shared with you.
college busy comparison
Anytime anybody goes, "Wow you've been busy." I'm like, "No, not since college. This is a cakewalk in comparison."
school college high-school
I will never be as busy as I was in high school and college.
