Rising Star Goya Robles: “Surround yourself with people who are better than you at what you do; Learn from them”

Surround yourself with people who are better than you at what you do. Learn from them. Make them part of your community. If there isn’t a community already in existence in the part of the industry you want to excel in, create it. There is something about innovation that excites people and makes them want to help. Find your own voice. What do you want? What is important to you? What are you doing to speak that into existence? The money and the influence are just a self-expression of your actions — they’re not the point. And most importantly, create. Creators have access to an enormous source of energy. We listen with imagination and depth. And if we don’t create, that energy will turn on us and destroy us. Energy needs to flow, so create the means in you to let it flow.
