AMPS – What advise can you give young people who look up to you and want to be in this business? Wesley Jonathan- Advice that I would give to young people who look up to me and want to be in this business, is understand it’s just that, a business. Everyone has talent. About politics, timing, a little bit of luck and some other things that may and can received. You are often told NO. Rejection is a part of the business, so if you don’t have a thick skin it’s possible not the thing for you. Stay in school, have a fall back just in case our dream is delayed or looking a little shaky. Study whatever craft it is you are trying to pursue. Understand that there is someone that can do or so continue to be even better than yourself if that makes and sense. Basically there’s always room for improvement.
