Follow Your Bliss - Jerid Yaw UPWORDS Interview

"Follow your bliss, and the universe will open doors where there were only walls." -Joseph Campbell

I heard this quote several years ago and it didn't make a lot of sense to me until recently. That's because I started talking to people who are doing what they love and following their own bliss.

One of these people is Jerid Yaw aka UPWORDS. He has really inspired me because he is a real person who is pursuing his dream, but doing it in a way that helps others. He is a Hip-Hop artist who's songs actually have a message. He also makes hilarious YouTube videos as well.

We sat down and talked about his experience of following his bliss. He also gave some great advice about just doing what you love and being yourself. I hope this interview helps you as much as it helped me. Enjoy!
