because I was an athlete of the 411 a week so I pushed my and circular activities until I love with him so just music at lunch time BJ Department to be distributed mixtapes to my classmate W games because my sister was a class president of 2002 Crystal Cruise you brought me back to Austin DJs Peter Jonathan together so much that I got the confidence to audition for MTV when they had to be Jake remind me to Hollywood California the last casting office 411 sorry I had to make a short we can do hold the phone over your hand television Emerald devastating actually learn when I came home with rush hour because what time is it right now Empire the positive messages how can I get a radio show here in Malden internet the radio station in Mount San Antonio College Air1 radio station are there any surveys radio the interview numerous of the time show my age by telling us of these artists was the Black Eyed Peas most telefone the first time for some of the first artist I got the interview alarm please your parents  I like I said in the video a lot of my internships let me to my first jobs because of the able to gain that experience people to start producing my own concerts and events that eventually at my own jobs couples of my experience and producing concerts myself I was able to become the first mark sing executive at myspace.com helping new artist at the time weather is Bruno Mars J Cole Etc or it was producing concerts for Jay Z next Addmore it was my dream job and although I spent 10 amazing years there the next step in my journey was to create my own company and that's where we created my also look MTV casting agent was wrong close to 20 years later and now have my own TV show featuring superstars of tomorrow that I know are going to be Superstars what Alex aiono Chance the Rapper Russ Anderson paak kehlani and Migo's come you guys know Migos raindrop drop top well she was wrong not only can I stand on a box when I'm short and interviewing artist but you can't take no for an answer and play mix I did now to be able to Showcase some of these future artists and I love to hear from you guys who are other artists we should feature  asking you today can you do today that will impact your future success he already know that your journey is going to start today so what can you do today to it's time to get started  we're going to get back to that question what do you want to be when you grow up actually we're not going to ask you that because you are grown up so here's a grown up what could you do as a career that would make you happy to wake up and go to work daily  what could you do that give you a bigger sense of purpose in life just like a lot of the faculty still want to come to school here every day wanting to help all of you is it being a doctor and helping hundreds of patients you have the chance today to decide what career pause that will make an impact and those around you and don't worry you can always make a change in your career if you're not necessarily happy and one  to ask her do you want a job or do you want a career hopefully by now and if you're everything I said you want a career  it's important if you want to courage ask yourself what do you what are you passionate about what would you give you a sense of purpose in life and not just a paycheck less they were going to talk again about dreaming big setting goals and taking action what's great about now is that you can realize they can dream as big as possible you don't have to restrict yourself it's only a dream until you write it down and then it becomes a goal and once it becomes a goal it turns into a step upon your journey so make sure you write down all of your dreams can you write down all of your goals to become steps in your journey now it's time to create a career goals and creating steps for your journey feel like every step has to be a huge top you can make small steps startup by doing research writing down every career that you have some soda interest in you could do what time is of research online your best friend could be YouTube and Google I want to college what's your step there it might be that you start at a junior college I did a might be that you go straight to a for your school or that you go to an Ivy League school or I could be that you go straight into the workforce save money and go back into college what's the proper step for you again because this is not a test there's no wrong or right answer you know the right answer for yourself your first jobs are also really important your first shots are all a really good opportunity to get experience in your industry it doesn't necessarily mean you have to be at a high position at these places before example I went to Athlete's Foot in the West Covina Mall it was my very first job think of it as a tennis shoe stores similar to Footaction and Footlocker it doesn't exist anymore but even though it was just a shoe store I work there because number one oh and needed to earn money and secondly I loved it discounted tennis shoes I also play music videos and the TV screen there and because how does able to introduce the different videos to artist that came in or just people that came into the store and then again that was giving me experience as a music industry executive if you want to be a designer if you want to be a fashion designer you can work at a retail store learn about the retail process about how to create your own store and you can also learn by Zion's knowing what people are actually buying in the store if you want to become a dentist you can work at a dentist office of the administrative assistant and learn how a dentist office when's why you're studying in school so there when you graduate you have the opportunity to have experience in a real dentist office before you even get started the first times are really important really take the time to consider what jobs you do as well as what you do at the jobs because even though it's not necessarily in your field you could do things like I did like producing music videos and playing them in my store and bring a new Artisan to generate more customers to the store you can always create a part of your job that applies to your future industry or your future experience in the career an industry that you want to be in how can you volunteer in the industry that you're in  again your relationships and your experience are just as valuable if not more valuable then your education when it comes to finding a real job and your career to take the time to invest and invest some time and feels internships volunteer while you're in college because again thousands of people graduate from college every year with similar degrees what's going to make you stand apart from the rest create resources for skip are those internships in this volunteer opportunities  if there's not a lot of people in your industry that you know you can drink tons of clubs not only at your school or were they near Community bill online there's tons of events that you can attend with in your industry as well you can do a lot of research online or attending community Kings ready talk about these things and last but definitely not least but most important mentors and advised not only from your family and friends  but from the mentors around you that work in the exact industry that you want to be in because I'll be able to give you shortcuts will be able to give you additional steps that you might not have thought of within your journey the most important thing about goal setting is to be smart it's an acronym for being specific measurable attainable relevant and time-bound if you keep to those things when nickel will become steps and each type you'll take you'll be able to look back once you taking several sets and see how far you've come so get started imma leave you with five things today and if you don't remember everything I said I know it's a lot remember these five things number one your career path is a journey it's not one job it's not a destination it's not a test it's not a competition nor is it a race  it support to be present and pay attention put the phone down  I wish I knew when I was your age it everything happens for a reason every book that you read every person that you meet every event that you 10 is a potential inspiration to the step in your journey it's important to stay present and pay attention to the signs  what you do now will impact your future not tomorrow but today remember that your relationships and your experience coupled with your education is a win without it you'll have to take a longer time to get where you so get started now  and start with the end in mind don't dream small dream big I want you dream big write it down so it becomes goals and from creating goals you create steps and you have your career roadmap you might not stick to the exact same world map but at least you'll have an idea of where you want to go you notice that when you go somewhere new it takes awhile to get there but when you go home and you're back to going back to somewhere you knew that's familiar it's faster to get home and why is it that I suppose you know where you're going and that works the same way in your we're last day don't forget that your journey starts here at Walnut High School enjoy the people that are potentially going to be here for the rest of your life to help you sir are you throughout your career enjoy the scenery like in and out Cold Stone New York Pizzeria to Street Fighter machine to bring us together but there's so many places that you can go to get together and to talk about your career and last but not least Martin King said it best you don't have to see the entire whole staircase just take the first step  congratulations just buy you today or watching this later online or reading the transcript later you taking the first step now it's up to you to continue this I can't wait to come back
