We had the good fortune of connecting with Cosimo Cavallaro and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Cosimo, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
Risk puts me in the present moment. Living is a risk that is ignored till we come to the edge and realize that life and death are inseparable. What I know doesn’t interest me. exploring is what keeps me interested.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
If you can smell it, touch it, taste it, then it was real. My failures set me apart from others and what I’m most proud of is the ability to love. The fear of not living puts me here in the present moment. Getting into it is easy. The difficult part is getting out of it. I am learning to not press the record button and instead press play. Enjoy it Now.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
In the time of corona I would take them to my kitchen and cook for them gourmet dinners. After dinner we will stroll to my window to watch the sun set over the freeway with no traffic a once in a life time experience, quick take a selfie . Then I would show them where they will be quarantineing for the week and for fun things we can play hide and sick and as for meeting exciting people I will do my best.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I am grateful to the human evolution that has giving me the permission to be who I am today.
