OUR bRAND AMBASSADOR "WILL"

 1. If you could snap your fingers and change the world--what would you change? I would like more logic, reason, and science to overtake ignorance, emotion, and stupidity. 

2. Best album ever recorded? Mos Def, Black on Both Sides 1998

3. Greatest athlete of all time? Barry Sanders--watching him run a football was like watching a god among insects. 

4. Your greatest strength or gift? Connecting with people and forming meaningful relationships.  One of the greatest joys in life is the company of good people.

5. Lessons the younger generation can learn from their elders? Delayed gratification, it takes time to create a life you can be proud of.  Think long term and put the work in. Read 5 Science/History books a year.

6. Most beautiful childhood memory.  Christmas at my grandmother's house as a child before death, petty beefs, and the realities of the world tore my family apart.  It was a time of innocence and peace. 

7. The person that made the biggest difference in your life. My grandfather, Richard Gibson, he embodied every characteristic you need to make the most of your finite time on this planet.  He was as serious as he was joyful and as hardworking as he was leisurely. 

8. Favorite time of year? Fall because it's still warm outside but not too hot, the days are still long, the flowers are still in bloom, and the pollen is minimal.

9. A book everyone should read?  Guns Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond because it explains the origins of how the modern world was formed.

10.What are you most grateful for?  Having a creative mind that I can get lost in 

11. Best comedian of all time?  It would have to be between Dave Chapelle and George Carlin.  I think Dave is the clear winner but both can make you laugh and think and there is no substitute for experiencing both

12. Favorite artist? James Brown--he changed the face of music and performance forever and there will never be another talent like him.

13. The best part about life before mobile phones.  We had to think more. We had to memorize numbers.  We had to have a mental map of where we were and where we were going.  

14. The most positive impact on the community of legalizing cannabis?  Less police interactions with people causing no harm means less killing of innocent people and less opportunity for escalation.

15. The greatest threat to humanity?  Climate change because it's the one thing within our control that can destroy all life on this planet. 

16. How do you relax?  By smoking an expensive premium cigar and pairing it with an equally high quality whiskey or cognac

17. Favorite vintage cars?  1969 Mustang fastback and the 1989 BMW 635csi

18. Most gorgeous childhood celebrity? Pam Grier, hands down

19. Favorite place to travel? Grecian islands (Santorini and Mykonos), the Mediterranean sea and the volcanic islands are awe inspiring

20. Your greatest accomplishment? I successfully changed my life at the age of 24 and started believing that I could be legally successful.
