“I wrote a book last year that talks about solutions to some of our big global issues like poverty, homelessness, and underemployment. To raise awareness and support for my idea for the solution, which is a community incubator, I decided to spend a year walking from Canada to Mexico. There’s so much noise out there on the internet and on TV, so I feel like to get people to care about something that doesn’t really affect them specifically, sometimes you have to do something big to get people to pay attention. They say, ‘You must really believe in something if you’re gonna go that big with it’. You’re competing with celebrity gossip and sports news, how else are you gonna get someone to care about helping those that are less fortunate?”
