Who You Are Matters - Aaron Voskani

 Describe where you come from 

- I come from a city located just north of Downtown LA. I have lived there all my life and have become very appreciative through the years of the city. Glendale has been home to me for my entire life and I have developed some of the strongest bonds with friends and family there as well. 

Tell me where you are going 

- I plan on going somewhere closer to the coast, whether if thats right on the beach or a five to ten minutes drive. Preferably somewhere in Orange County, Malibu, Newport, or Calabassas. 

How am I going to get there ? 

- The way I plan on getting to any of the above locations will be through consistency. Showing up even when it is the last thing I want to do. No matter what it is I do I plan on being persistent and be as consistent as possible. I also feel that some people are naturally extremely great at one single thing and excel by only specializing in that one thing for the rest of their lives, so that is something that I am trying to figure out as well. 

How are you LIKE your parents? 

- I am like my parents in different ways. Relating to my mom I believe we have the same mentality when it comes to taking risks and not caring much about what other people think. As far as my father. I believe that we are similar in the way we act. We both have this same silly and kid like side which we always use to lighten the mood. 

How are you UNLIKE your parents? 

- There are a few ways that I am unlike my parents is that sometimes I will go out of my way to satisfy someone elses needs or wants. They believe that there is a good mix of doing this but believe that I do it too often. 

Have you developed your own expectations for yourself, or if you were honest, would you say you are operating under someone else's expectations?

-Personally, I believe that I am operating under my own expectations. I always set a very large expectation for myself no matter what and even when I can not live up to those expectations I still look at it as a learning experience. I do not think that operating under someone else's expectations is bad but it could be detrimental to my mental health because if you do not live up to those expectations you may be looked at as not good enough, but when you are in control of your expectations you have a better understanding of what you can and can not do. 

Who other than a relative serves as a role model for you of someone who lives life with great passion and personal responsibility?

- Someone who serves as a model for me that lives with great passion and personal responsibility would be Dana White or a man named David Goggins. Both of these guys seem to have passion for whatever they do and have responsibility for themselves and their families. I do not personally know them but from what I have seen through numerous interviews that is what I have observed. 

A wild animal that I feel a connection with ? 

- A wild animal that I feel a connection with is a leapord. I have always found leapords to be my favorite animal and have watched a variety of different short videos on them. 

Describe a significant childhood event with a tree or plant

- As a 12 year old in middle school, it was quite easy to be excited about the newest trend at the time which was segways. After getting one as a gift, my best friend and I decide to take a stroll. The first ever time stepping on it it jerked forward and I instantly hit a tree trunk. I ended up being okay but it was one of the scariest moments due to how fast I was traveling. 

Birth Certificate 

- 22 Degrees Leo , Sun sign 

- 01 Degrees Aries , Moon sign 

- 18 Degrees Cancer , Rising

    I believe you will one day make it to Malibu or Calabasas. I would love to get a property there too, but I don't think I will ever make it as my primary resident and I am also from Glendale, and never want to move anywhere else.

    My old football coach used to say that 90% of the battle is showing up. I've definitely benefited from this advice, and it sounds like you have too!

    I really enjoyed your paragraph about living at your own expectations. My hometown very much set the bar for us growing up so it's a skill I'm still learning myself.

    I completely get/agree with wanting to live by the coast, and the areas you listed are definitely some of the best!

Job Description

Commercial Real Estate Agent   Almost every job has its own tempo,  from early mornings, to handling complex projects. There is almost always a portion of time in between when one clocks in and clocks out where they realize that they use the same few "traits" or "attributes" day in and day out. Since this is my third year being involved in the commercial real estate brokerage world, I have noticed a handful of qualities in myself that I use on the daily, anytime I am on the job which seem to compare to some other fields of work as well.  Some fields of work that I seem to compare to on the daily are: A Detective An Analyst Marketing Manager  Hearing these comparisons to a real estate agent may seem confusing but I will be explaining how I can somewhat resonate with some of the people who have this title as their job.  Detective : A detective's main job is to figure out whatever case they are working on and to gather as much evidence as they can in order to expla...

Book 1 Post 2

 After reading Brian Cox's book, Putting The Rabbit In the Hat, there are a few key takeaway that I was able to come back with. Not only was his upbringing filled with hard ship and sadness, but it showed how those hardships ultimately led him to becoming the person he is today and how it impacted his fruitful acting career. He started off with loving theater and he had a deep connection with the Dundee theater in Scotland. He was extremely passionate about Shakespeare and mentioned how the major turning point of his career was the when he spent his time at the RSC (Royal Shakespeare Company).  One thing I found interesting while reading the book was that he talks about his peer actors and his opinions about them. He mentioned that Johny Depp is overrated. He also talks about Michael Caine's career as being able to do the same thing over and over again. While explaining some of the negative things he has analyzed about some of his competitors, he goes on to explain some of the...

Book 2 Post 1

 For book number two I have decided to choose the option, The Science of Creating a Compassionate World, more specifically  Invisible Influence: The Hidden Forces that Shape Behavior . Even before reading the book I took interest into the title. The recent events with a variety of different conflicts between countries, within countries, and even personal, I looked at the title and thought, the world could really use this right now. One thing that I have always been taught at home is to have compassion and to always try to understand why people do what they do and try not to judge someone based off surface level actions or statements.  One goal that I have going into reading this is to try to develop different ways other than my current practices of being compassionate and understand the rules of what drives my actions and point out which rules are negatively effecting my life. Try to become better at listening or see a different perspective of how people think of differen...
