I Agree With: Zach Morris ( & Jimmy Fallon by association)

I Agree With: Zach Morris (& Jimmy Fallon by association)

Jimmy Fallon, had Zach Morris on his show. Not, Mark Paul Gosselaar, but Zach Morris on his show. I was up in the air on whether I liked Jimmy Fallon. That is no longer the case. Thanks for sharing this Mono.

I agree with: Paper Planes

I Agree with: Paper Planes

I made this video almost a year ago. It's one of the first videos, I made that I felt came out the way I wanted.

I Agree with: Being Confused with my job.

I Agree with: Being Confused with my job.

A friend of mine noted today that she can never explain what I do for work. She's tried several times to explain it to people but just ended up more confused herself.

I completely understood her frustration. I feel that way too. Whenever I describe what I do with EPIC, 75% of people respond in 1 of 2 ways.

A.) When I say I'm the director of operations for a small multi-media marketing firm and manage a small speakers bureau and student development firm, people think I am either lying or seriously exaggerating (to try and look cool).

or

B.) I try to break it into smaller parts and explain how each aspect functions, and then the person looks at me with a painfully confused frown. I then get the privilege of remembering how I felt losing in the first round of my elementary spelling bee. (shout out to Brian Regan)

So, I wanted to post a video of a song I recently wrote that was used in a local church's video to show people that even though it might be difficult to explain what I do - I do have a job, we are productive, and I will be the first to admit that doing this is really hard, and we're not making crazy bank (money).

I drive a 96 Jetta with engine problems - I am still too broke to be cool. But, we are doing everything we can to build something that will be great one day. Moreover, not only am I am not lying or trying to be cool, we're doing it on our own because we want to do something that produces great work while giving us a little creativity to live the values and morals we speak and preach about.

Enjoy the video and my poverty at your leisure.
