Dream Team
Did you bump your head? Have you gone insane? Were the questions I asked myself on the thought of aligning a group of men solely focused on following a path that many people would consider just a "dream". A young and starving camera guru? Two music producers with tremendous talent and drive? Yes! And yes! The ultimate collaboration!
It's summer 1992, in Barcelona and the courtside announcer introduces the following lineup with great emphasis: "at the point guard position from the LA Lakers, hee EEE ere is Magic Johnson! Followed by the center from the New York Knicks, Patrick Ewing!" The crowd goes wild as he continues, "playing the small forward position from the Chicago Bulls, Scottie Pippen! And power forward, Charles Barkley representing the Phoenix Suns. Now, ladies and gentlemen please welcome, your shooting guard from the Chicago Bulls, Michael Jordan!" A few players part of by far the greatest sports team ever assembled, they hold the nickname "The Dream Team".
2:00 am it read on the home screen of my phone, as the one-man debate continued. The ultimate tug of war between a dream and the reality was dead centered. 3:30 am, it read on the phone as I scanned over the most recent notes I typed on my notes app. As my eyes opened from the light coming through the living room window I rolled over and checked the time. It was now 8:00 am, and glancing at the notes written, three words caught my attention. "Dream Big Alliance".
Let's fast forward it's now January 2017, in Orlando Florida in a room filled with abstract art, L.E.D lighting, and a strong smell of Java. Four men with a nervous yet excited look are sitting across and alongside me, listening attentively to what I would like to call "The Dream".
