This filmmaker turned full-time daily vlogger and business man, has been the brains behind many different projects, including a cameo in the movie Nerve. He lives a life of endless positivity, along with a daily 13-mile run. Here are a few of his many inspirational quotes from his talks about business, life, and being an entrepreneur.

1. "Ideas are cheap. Ideas are easy. Ideas are common. Everybody has ideas. Ideas are highly, highly overvalued. Execution is all that matters."

2. "If you're doing what everyone else is doing, you're doing it wrong."

3. "The most dangerous thing you can do in life is play it safe."

4. "If the reason why you're doing anything creative is to make a living, then you're doing it wrong."

5. "Free time is the enemy of progress."

6. "The biggest risk is to take no risk at all."

7. "Just trying to live our lives and figuring out how to turn that into art. It's tough to say that the art was premeditated. Instead, you just focused on living. 'How do I want to live? What do I want to do?' Then you figured out how to make that into art."

8. "If Facebook is Lucky Charms, Instagram is just the marshmallows."

9. "I saw 'Avatar' in the theater eight times and I got booed for it. I'm totally serious. First of all, I love that movie. I totally love that movie, but nothing intrigues me more than the fact that it made like $2.7 billion and so how many people had to see it for it to make that much money."

10. “Every time I took these bigger risks, the opportunity for a bigger payout was always there.”

11. “Without a goal you can’t score.”

12. “The only way you can have a job and sleep at work whenever you want is when you own the company.”

13. “Look back at your life. It’s always the hardest times that made you who you are.”

14. “I never want money that I didn’t earn.”

15. "Always the stairs. Never the escalator."

16. "I won't hire someone or date a girl who has not worked in a restaurant, and that's the honest truth. I don't think you know how it is until you've worked in a restaurant."

17. "As a director, I have the greatest job in the world, but if I don't push the boundaries, then what's the point of having it?"

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
