Speaking to Haileson was fun. He’s a chill dude that like many of us, enjoys the small things like fashion and gaming. During the first couple of minutes of our conversation, I struggled to think of something that could really capture people’s attention. This wasn’t Haileson’s fault; we probably hadn’t broken the ice enough. I knew I had to ask something more profound. So, I asked “What gets you out of bed in the morning?” It’s a loaded question. But his answer was just what I needed: “Wanting to be somebody in this world.” I wrote that down and knew I had something. I wanted to display that determination to make something of himself without making Haileson seem uber-competitive because at the end of the day, Haileson is just a kid like the rest of us.
