What we like

• Back to basics, this movie motivates you for the simple and true things in life

Mind experience

• How often do we find our lives being stuck in what we think is good? It’s good, so why go further than that right? This is the conundrum, once it is good you can get stuck there and not develop, not grow. When you are growing you are moving, expanding. Carl Casper in the movie was a Chef that had lots of potential but got stuck in a routine that was good and didn’t progress pass this. It wasn’t until someone gave him a push and a challenge that he started on an adventure to grow and ignite his passion once again. Once you start this journey and are committed to it you can find a whole lot more than you will ever expect along the way including how it spills over to those around you

To think about

• Carl Casper: I may not do everything great in my life, but I’m good at this. I manage to touch people’s lives with what I do and I want to share this with you.
