I had the pleasure of interviewing my elementary friend AJ. He spoke about his business endeavors and how important it is to regulate your emotions, so you can be at peace. Being at peace can put everyone at peace around you. He spoke about our community showing more respect between each other. How he's finally built his self-esteem and it will show in his work. How he was inspired by the great legends, Spike Lee and John Singleton. These two individuals who have paved the way for me, are also my inspirations to motion pictures. Please if you want to network with him and show case you talents, contact him on Instagram @yallmysuns. If you want to be a guest on the podcast, please contact me via email at [email protected].

Below are the questions that I asked on the episode today, please take the time to answer the questions for your self growth.

1.   “You are the director and screenwriter of your life”. What screen plays are you writing that indicates who you are today?

2.   What change would you like to see in the world?

3.   What could you be doing in your own way to effect this change? Do you want it to be part of your career or to keep it separate?

4.   Do you have structure around the things you love to do-a schedule, a group you work with, etc.? When was the last time you made time to do what you love?

5.   Challenge: Remind yourself of your gift. Remind yourself of your superpowers. Make a list of the things you want to do with your gift, what are the results of these gifts? Who do they touch? How does that manifest concretely? What do you need to do to begin using your gifts in a way that touches everyone around you?

Additional question: How do you feel about emotional regulation?
