After being dicharged from the Marines in the 60's, this guy takes on many different jobs in New York before heading out west to Cali to study a new art (to him) at a local venue.
There, he meets another fellow with the same dreams. After his stint studying on the west coast, he heads back to New York to pursue work in this industry. The second guy follows him to New York later, and even sleeps on his kitchen floor as they both struggle to find work in their art.
While pounding down doors looking for work, they meet two other guys passionately pursuing the same dreams. Together, all four of these guys create a bond and become good friends, encouraging each other, dreaming together, and holding each other accountable to keep after their goals.
Eventually, one of the guys gets a gig and is the first to "break out" and gets noticed. He later hooks up his Marine friend. Throughout the years, these friends recommend each other to their employers, hoping to hook their fellow man up with work from time to time.
As the years go by, and their careers flourish, these four, individually, have been honored with the highest award of achievement and recognition in this art and are considered the absolute best in their industry to this day.
They surrounded themselves with others who were like minded and shared the same vision and dreams.
It is no mistake that these four guys are among the very cream of the crop in their industry.
Can you name this former Marine, his buddy from the west coast, and the two other friends they later met in New York, while struggling to pursue their craft?
I'll lock this topic for just a bit so you can think about how important it is to evaluate your own surroundings and to think about how important it is to surround yourselves with great energy, positive influences, and like minded people
