“Don’t be scared of the shit, go through the experience but when it’s time, build yourself back up and use what you learned“ This week I sat down with my good friend Tom G-N, as we look back at the memories, good and bad, from our time together in high school. In addition to revisiting our past, we discuss Tom's passion for environmentalism and activism and how he is building himself up for a career to further pursue both avenues. Lastly, we get to hear his story of losing his father at an early age, and the experiences that have helped grow his resiliency not only to cope with the loss but also the many challenges life has thrown at him since.
