Arroe Collins Like It's Live

Norman Calvo, his story has a shape that feels right.  Personality, creativity, and real-life turns. After building and selling a successful mortgage business, he decided in his 60s to reinvent himself, became a singer, performed a sold-out one-man cabaret show in Times Square, and now hosts conversations around reinvention and unconventional lives.What makes him interesting is that he is not coming in with a hard business pitch. It’s more about what happens when someone chooses a completely different creative chapter later in life, and what that shift teaches about fear, identity, and starting again.

When I entered this forest in 1992 my heart wasn't focused on the present. The calling was to put myself in 2040. How often do we put ourselves in a position of exploration and never take the time to see what the invisible visionaries put into play decades before your arrival? Can you spot the fingerprint of one who foresaw longevity?

This month marks Bruce Springsteen’s 54th anniversary with Columbia Records. It’s an amazing feat. There aren’t many artists who can boast of starting on a major label and staying there throughout a legendary career. But the man who would become the Boss had a shaky start, and John Hammond’s decision to sign him seemed like a musical version of Seward’s folly during his first three years. In his latest article for the Strange Brew, author Scott G. Shea tells the amazing story of how it all came about.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   Why do American employees have to turn in a two week notice but businesses can fire you on the spot?  Plus…do we have 5 fingers?  What’s up with the thumb?   I’m Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it’s my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It’s still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  This is the Daily Mess…

As the investigation deepens, she crosses paths with a man who represents everything she’s been taught to question. The son of a powerful Ghanaian billionaire, he moves effortlessly through elite circles shaped by wealth, influence, and legacy – including a storied estate modeled after one of America’s most iconic homes, now transformed by global power and quiet ambition. He has his own loyalties. His own secrets. And getting close to him may be the only way to uncover the truth. Drawn together by chemistry neither can ignore, the pair find themselves caught between duty and desire – between what they owe their families and what they want for themselves. But in a world where history is contested, identities are layered, and power rewrites narratives, one question remains: Who can you trust? Because the closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous it becomes. And falling in love might be the riskiest move of all.
