When I was an apprentice horseshoer almost three decades ago, Frank Foti, who was possibly the best farrier in the State of Hawaii at the time, said a sentence to me every time I would get star struck while watching the miracles he performed on horse hooves and I would tell him he was my hero. He would stop what he was doing, look me straight in the eyes, and tell me, "Be your own hero!". Eventually it caught on. I started to really excel at my craft and also as a surfer and health-conscious person. I would put on weights and run up hills and go to the gym after working and surfing all day to get even stronger. When I was in the lineup surfing, I was paddling circles around everybody else. This caught the attention of some people, as did my aggressive surfing style, which another hero of mine from the time, a girl named Lisa Wallace who could short board like a from and like no girl could, with air drops and wicked snaps. Soon I was surfing full-time as a surf instructor and then after work I would go surf some more. I did a photo session at Shark Pit for Maui Surfing Magazine with world-champion longboarder Albert Jenks and was taking top- level surfers on "Surfaris" to exotic special surf spots as part of my job. When you are doing something that you love it is easy to quickly become successful and to live to your best potential and to be your own hero. I am so excited right now because I am loving this Skool platform, and I can't wait to see where it leads! I am already having so much fun and making so many new connections! How are you doing?
