They discuss how they are NOT in the Arts and Culture business, but rather in the Experience and Feel business. When you love what you do, is it still a job? YES! Sometimes. But it's worth it.

What a powerful message. This is one not to be missed.

In honor of Kylee's love for Fireworks, tell us if you prefer watching fireworks WITH or WITHOUT music?
