The result? ...

I have never witnessed any coverage that accurately reflects what life is like for those employed in the industry. There is a lot of media hype, but that does not reflect the actual team members' daily routine or what they give up in life to provide this entertainment to the world. There is a lot of stress, and some danger, which is managed, but it takes a personal toll. The stress has to be relieved in some way. You don't just work with your coworkers; you live with them, all over the wor...

The average American considers the following to be minimum standards of living: no. 1—air conditioning, no. 2—hot running water, no. 3—an iPhone. Most people on the planet do not enjoy these extravagances. My hope for every American is to work outside the United States with non-Americans for one year before they are thirty years old. In this manner, one truly understands that Americans are different, not necessarily in a good way. Who is the one nation in the history of the world to unleas...
