"Even when you're scared, Ruckus Makers are disruptors. In the beginning it was a negative thing. I became a positive disruptor. I did it when I was scared. I did it when I was afraid. I did it no matter what, because I knew that it was my purpose. And your purpose is always gonna be wrapped up in some type of fear. And so I say just do it. Do it anyway.
