<\/a>By Debbie \u201cD2\u201d Edwards<\/strong><\/p>\nBrad and I dusted off the camera, cleaned the lens, and set the studio back up recently, and boy oh boy was it worth it!<\/p>\n
We both love diversity and talented people, and we hit pay dirt with our return to the RSR Web TV Channel on YouTube with guest, Jimmy Holmes. After a nearly two year lay-off, during which we relocated from Oklahoma to Indiana and I changed jobs, we were both anxious and ready to get back to filming the show. <\/p>\n
When Brad told me that we were interviewing Jimmy, I knew that this interview would be special. Brad spoke of Holmes a few years ago when he reminisced about a fight that he had seen when he lived on the East Coast and was ringside for. He briefed me on Jimmy, advising me that he was a former professional boxer, a school teacher, and a musician.<\/p>\n
I found it quite interesting that a person would be engaged in professions that are so profoundly different – a school teacher by day, boxer after school, and a musician by night. Jimmy described himself as a person who \u201cgives it all that he\u2019s got,\u201d and it was obvious that he has a drive, a work ethic, and the energy to do so.<\/p>\n
When I peer behind the lens, it is usually to be able to share something that I think will inspire or motivate others. Whose experience could be more inspiring than a person who works multiple jobs that requires differing skill sets in order to attain success in each aspect of it?<\/p>\n
Teaching is one of the most noble professions that a person could undertake. Influencing young people\u2019s lives, being a mentor, serving as a role model for future doctors, lawyers, problem solvers, artists, businesspeople and the like gives a person the opportunity to impact the future beyond their lifetime. Couple this with being a warrior in the ring and having the talent to make a guitar invoke a fire in your soul, and what you have is a very well-rounded person who is energetic, enthusiastic, and entertaining.<\/p>\n
I absolutely loved his rendition of Crazy Train and Sweet Child of Mine, humming both songs for days after the interview was over.<\/p>\n
So, from this interview, outside of meeting a beautiful couple in Jimmy and his lovely wife Renee, I met a person who exemplifies living life to the full.<\/p>\n
In closing\u2026 Develop differing interests, regardless of how different they may be. Life is short and uncertain. May we all develop our talents and skills to the best of our ability.<\/p>\n
