Milestones

My road in life has been direct.
His father told him his dreams were just "pie in the sky."
When he originally moved to Los Angeles, he was scared to tell his parents, couldn't get it through their heads.
Says he loves the Whittier quote, "Of all the sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest of all is 'it might have been.'"
Says you can't let anyone hold you back; if you want to do something, go do it.
Got a degree and a master's degree and started teaching.
Knew he was just killing time, making money so he could pursue his dream of doing comedy.
Once he started on comedy, he was hooked; looked for somewhere to perform every night, just to get on stage, to get his voice out there.

In Los Angeles, Calif., the Roadtrippers make their way to Amoeba Music, one of the largest indie record stores in the U.S., to meet co-owner Karen Pearson. Next, the team speaks with Joe Rogan, a stand-up comedian, who tells them to do what you do because you love it, not for money. Just as the Roadtrippers are leaving their interview, they snag an impromptu and unexpectedly musical interview with actor Craig Robinson. Playing the piano and in a sing-songy voice, the actor of the The Office empowers Nika to not be afraid to pursue her dream as a performing artist.
