Their all in philosophy and religion. Boe Soeng grew up in a society that was influenced/hurt by the Vietnam War and Civil Rights Movement caused to feel that he wasn't really living how he wanted which later was into eastern philosophy. he moved to a Zen Buddhist Community and became a psychotherapist so he could work with people using Buddhist principles. Maria Popova is a writer and founder of brain pickings, she always loved writing when young that she wrote many thing such as only because you good at something doesn't mean that will make you happy. Eventually she came to the USA and found many freedom which soon inspired to make writing a living. Cecil Williams is a minister at the Glide Memorial Church, he didn't arrive at first for when he was first assigned to a church he noticed he was sent their to create a segregated church. He then moved and over time was send to the church he is now, and loved it and hope he can preach his religion.

2. What advice did they have to give?  (Each person)
Boe Soeng: “The biggest wisdom really comes from not knowing, because if you admit you don't know, then you're willing to look.”
Maria Popova: “The most important thing that a person can decide--that should dictate what they do in life--is what matters in the world and why.”
Cecil Williams: “My bottom line to me is that love means living dangerously. And to live dangerously means to risk all that you have.”
3. Do any of these careers interest you?  (Why or why not?)
NO, for I'm not really interested in their religion or in going into philosophy of some sort, I prefer to just draw and use my art for other stuff.
