We asked some of our favorite folks what makes them happy and why?

Calvin Rafah | Fashion Designer

Engaging in hobbies is what makes me happy in life. For me, my passion lies in maintaining a healthy lifestyle through a variety of activities that keep both my body and mind in top shape. Going to the gym is a cornerstone of my routine, where I focus on lifting weights to build strength and endurance. There’s something incredibly satisfying about challenging myself with heavier weights and seeing progress over time. Read more>>

Marisa Calderon | Realtor and Reiki Practitioner

I am happy when I am spending time with my boys, my family, and my friends. I am happy when I do my favorite things: spending time in nature, hiking, exercising, crafting, practicing Reiki, meditating, journaling. I have so many hobbies so I really love when I have time to dabble in any of them. My husband and I love going to music festivals like Coachella, and seeing EDM shows. I also love taking care of people, helping them be better versions of themselves. My passion has always been making people happy, and helping them live their best lives. Read more>>

Jon Asher | Drummer/Composer & Graphic Artist

First and foremost what truly has helped redefine and add extreme weight to what makes me happy has and is the ability to overcome Alcohol and Substance Abuse. That being said, there is a passion that sits deep down inside of every fiber that exists in me to play Music and create. Whether that be simply sitting on the Drums expressing myself to a crowd of anticipating onlookers or behind a computer editing and composing music and art to hopefully strike fire within the person who finds it. I was very lucky to have been granted the time and discipline to hone in on my craft and I feel it is my obligation to continue to harness this gift and protect it, feed it, and nurture it, so that it may feed other inspiring artist’s or people who need that one inspiring story or role model in their life to change their direction.
