"Putting the Rabbit in the Hat" by Brian Cox


I’ve always loved stories about people who beat the odds and make it big. That’s a big reason why I'm excited to read "Putting the Rabbit in the Hat" by Brian Cox. His journey from a tough childhood in Dundee, Scotland, to becoming a famous actor is really inspiring.


Brian grew up in poverty and lost his dad early on, much like my older cousin who I’m very close with. Seeing all the struggles my cousin has gone through really makes this theme resonate with me. I’m keen to see how these early challenges shaped Brian's acting and his outlook on life, which he talks about openly in his memoir.


I'm looking forward to learning about the grit and drive needed to succeed in the competitive world of acting from Cox's story. His experiences seem to offer not just a behind-the-scenes look at the entertainment industry but also lessons in sticking it out and growing personally.


As I start reading his memoir, I'm not just expecting to hear about his successful career but also hoping to find some motivation and a reminder that no start is too small for a great ending.

Random Post 2- The end of the road

  As I reflect on my time in college, one thing that stands out the most is the amazing friendships I've forged along the way. I came to USC legitimately knowing nobody. I got really lucky and ended up living with two random roommates who ended up being some of my best friends. Those two guys rushed to the same fraternity with me and ever since then I became really close with all of the people who I went through pledging with. 3 years later I'm ending my senior year and I live with 17 and my closest guy friends. Over the past 3 years between, late-night study sessions, spontaneous road trips, serious conversations, fun parties, summer trips, deep talks, and more, my close friends from USC have been there through it all. But now, as we approach the end of our college journey, I can't help but wonder what the future holds for each of us. It's crazy to think that in just a year or so, we'll all be scattered across the country, pursuing different paths and careers. Some...

Who You Are Matters

  I was born and raised in New York City and moved out to the suburbs in Greenwich Connecticut when I was 11 years old. I grew up playing sports, so moving to the suburbs was great for me as I really had no freedom to easily play sports with friends as I did in the city. In high school in Greenwich, besides playing and being the captain of the basketball and soccer teams, I started my own moving company and found a love for entrepreneurship and finance. Once I got to USC I continued to study business and began to pursue the sports business world as I now run the Sports Business Association. This past summer I interned at a boutique investment bank called CAA Evolution where I worked in mergers and acquisitions and media rights negotiations. I am hoping to continue to work at the intersection of sports and finance, but as my job did not offer return offers and I realize the sports finance industry is extremely competitive and niche, I am still currently on the hunt for my next oppor...
