Great interview! Wish more people saw Babylon, it's pretty incredible

[@NachoGonzalezNappa]

Lovely interview. Brilliant music and such a humble and inspiring composer! Great job, Ashton!

Amazing interview! love the part ( 48:36 ) where you ask Justin what his advice would be for the fools who dream and he mentions the story that his dad used to tell him about surfing and that if you really love something you will find a way to make a life out of it. It gives me the feeling that everything will be okay, you don't need to be the best at something as long as it makes you happy and brings you joy.
I really like that idea, thank you for the interview!

What if you want to be the best or among the best and want to actually be a surfer and not just design surf boards?

[@kikivanhalteren9850]

@@leif1075 That's also an option, I think he meant that if you love something it doesn't matter what you're going to do (professional surfer or surfboard designer) if it makes you happy!

The score was too emotional. Deeply rooted itself in my subconscious and had deep psychological effects on me. Please tone it down I’m use to marvel and shit
