Where do you see yourself at the end of your career?

It’s easy to get caught up in the day to day, but it’s important to stop ask: what’s the end goal? Knowing where you are trying to go is step one in getting there and so we’ve asked some folks we admire to tell us their end goal and where they want to be by the end of their careers.

Whether it be through a canvas, a song, or a film; we’ve always used stories to teach, to console, to heal, to entertain of course, and most importantly to inspire.
