When I started this project, I had a bunch of obstructions. I did not know who to interview or about what. But one day something sparked, a conversation with Pawel about his shoe collection and becoming a sneakerhead. He buys shoes and makes a very good profit off of mostly all of them. So I thought “Why not interview him about sneakers?”. I was always into buying nice shoes for myself, but never selling so its a mutual connection we kind of hold over shoes.

I didn’t know the types of questions to ask at first, but after a few general questions, we sparked a conversation of passion and love for buying and selling shoes.

Pawel is the type of kid that will argue about anything, even if he is wrong. It was really interesting because we always fight about stupid stuff, so I was kind of expecting some shots being fired at each other, causing the interview to be botched. But it was not like that.

I’ve known Pawel for a long time and this might be the first and only thing that I have ever seen him so passionate and excited to talk about. Once I started asking more questions, I just saw his eyes open wider and wider, which was truly a sight to see. This interview was a very eye opening experience for me, and I would 10/10 times do something like this again.

I don’t want to work a 9-5 job at a desk every day. I hate routine. My biggest fear is being bored and unhappy with the life I will be living as an adult. The thought of being unhappy is always in the back of my head. I use it at motivation to do the things I want to do and aspire to be the best at what I end up doing.
