What's the best piece of advice you've ever been given?

Nobody wins unless everybody wins

What book, movie read/seen recently you would recommend and why?

Any chance i get, I will always recommend the very underrated movie, Black Dynamite (2009). It’s a parody of Blaxploitation films from the 70’s. Not only is it one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen, but you can also tell how much attention they put into the look of the film. It looks like it's a movie from that time, which makes it that much funnier.

Are you a traveler or a homebody? Why?
