"Cultures have long heard wisdom in non-human voices: Apollo, god of music, medicine and knowledge, came to Delphi in the form of a dolphin.

I feel really lucky that I found my passion at that point. There are people who are adults who don't know what their passion is and go through life doing "a job."”
