I do a lot of media work, I've been investing and I'm involved with real estate. It's totally different from what I had been doing but I find it challenging and fun. To be honest, I really don't miss the track. I pretty well accomplished what I set out to do and it was time to move on. ↗

I don’t give up on anything! I fight to the very end no matter how many setbacks I may have. Even if you fail, don’t give up! With each failure, you are only one step away from victory. Failure allows us to learn, so while you may encounter failure, use the experience positively and believe in your success. ↗
