Roger Thomas Highlight
I came to the conclusion very early that, whatever it is that I do, it should be something I would do for free.
About Roger
- He was an English and math major in school, and after college, he went to work for a law firm.
- Noticed that every single week, his co-workers would come into work on Friday and say "TGIF!"
- Being in an environment where people so clearly disliked what they did made him pledge to himself that he would find a job that he truly loved.
- Around that time, he started an acapella group as a hobby; at that time, he didn't think there was any market for acapella music.
- The group, Naturally 7, entered an acapella competition and won; more importantly, they learned that other groups were actually making money.
- That realization prompted them to record their first album and put on their first live showcase.
- After the showcase, they suddenly had 57 shows booked...but all of them still had "day jobs."
- He says when it came time to make that decision, they knew they had to follow their hearts; no one wanted to look back and regret passing up their dream.
