We introduce Diego Galicia, a videographer who works for Mizzou Athletics and the Kansas City Chiefs. Diego discusses making connections in the creative space, interactions with athletes, and gives advice for aspiring video editors.

The Link is a new series that the RYP has been working on this semester. The goal of The Link is to bridge passion with reality. We want to present subjects who are using their natural gifts to create massive opportunities for themselves.  Our second episode features Patrick Scott, a local musician in Columbia. Scott discusses the formation of his sound, as well as the experience of building a following from almost nothing. The story of his rise is one that most people can relate too. He also adds how drugs have both helped and hurt him during his journey. Enjoy!
