  you're an. Arsonist.

  Hey man, it's a metaphor, all right?

  It's a metaphor. It's not really an arsonist.

  I've committed 0 crimes. Do not come looking for them.
• 1:01
  What is your current goal in life?
• 1:04
  I want to be able to make a living off of pro wrestling.
• 1:08
  All right, well, what are you currently doing to achieve that
• 1:10
  goal? I wrestle in various states
• 1:14
  every weekend and I train a lot. I push my body a lot.
• 1:20
  I have very minimal free time so I think I'm doing as much as I
• 1:25
  can. You are working very, very hard.
• 1:28
  What is currently holding you back?
• 1:30
  Our distraction from hitting your goal.
• 1:32
  I think a big, a big part is that I, I have to work.
• 1:36
  I work as a substitute teacher. And as much as I love the kids,
• 1:39
  having to take 8 hours of my day to work a real job makes it
• 1:43
  really hard to just focus on wrestling and do what I can.
• 1:46
  Like it takes, like I said, it takes 8 hours of my day.
• 1:48
  Yeah, you know, from 7:00 to 3:00 I'm, I'm doing this thing
• 1:52
  that is not wrestling related. But while doing that, I do try
• 1:55
  to, you know, design gear. I try to think of ideas and I
• 2:00
  try to think and push forward. Always dreaming.
• 2:03
  Always dreaming. Who are What motivates or
• 2:06
  inspires you? Man, I have this beautiful niece
• 2:13
  and super handsome nephew who I literally miss all the time.
• 2:18
  And I want nothing more than for them to have like just a fun
• 2:22
  story about their uncle. Like, I just want to be cool
• 2:24
  uncle, you know? And so anytime I get to see
• 2:28
  them, I'm just like, all right, this is what I'm doing it for.
• 2:29
  Like I want to be on a grand stage and I want them to watch
• 2:33
  me and go, Oh my God, that's my uncle.
• 2:34
  You know, that's just something that's like very inspiring.
• 2:38
  It helps me move forward quite often.
• 2:40
  What are you currently grateful for and are you happy?
• 2:43
  I'm grateful for the community that I've started to build here
• 2:46
  in wrestling. I mean, I, I live 8, I live 8
• 2:50
  hours away from home. So like my niece and nephew that
• 2:53
  I was just talking about, etcetera, they're 8 hours away.
• 2:56
  So here it's been really important for me to find
• 2:59
  friends, find family, find people that like love this and
• 3:03
  love me. And I'm incredibly grateful to
• 3:06
  have found that, to have found a beautiful, loving girlfriend who
• 3:10
  does the same thing and understands what I'm doing and
• 3:13
  what I'm going through in terms of happiness.
• 3:16
  You know, I don't know if I'm ever going to be fully where I
• 3:20
  would like to be, but as of right now I've, I am very
• 3:23
  comfortable and I'm very OK with where I'm at at the moment.
• 3:28
  I love that, I love that. Where can people find and

• 5:15
  it, it's like fire, fire, fire. Yeah, so.
