We asked some of the most inspiring folks in the community to tell us where they want to be professionally by the end of their careers.

Siavash Fashi | CEO/Founder of SixPax Gym the most successful small gym in America

I have a vision to see a SixPax Gym in every neighborhood across America, changing lives and making a real difference in the communities we serve.

My journey began as a refugee coming to America, where I found the opportunity to live my dream. Now, I want to give back by helping others achieve their own dreams through fitness and empowerment. Together, we can transform lives, one gym at a time, and build a stronger, healthier America. Read more>>

Dr. Dawn Lewis | Christ Follower, Author, Transformational Speaker, DNP, FNP-MSN, Somatic and Brainspotting Therapist

My ultimate professional goal is to minister and disciple the masses. God has revealed to me that I can utilize my educational experience along with His Word to reach and guide people. A primary focus of my ministry will be addressing mental illness, a topic often overlooked in spiritual discussions. There is a taboo surrounding the equating of mental illness with demonic possession, which can perpetuate stigma and lead people to feel categorized as “possessed” or “demonic.” Instead, I aim to provide knowledge and understanding, helping individuals recognize that mental health issues can be addressed through a biblical lens without the negative connotations.

Lynn Adrianna Freedman | Actress, Writer, Choreographer, Producer, Mom

End of my career. Hmm. To be fair, I don’t believe there will be an “end to my career”. I have no intention of ever retiring, so for me I think the end of my career would be akin to the end of my life. That said, I’ll summarize this way: by the end of it all, I’m hoping that I will have touched a great many hearts and minds. That I will have been a vehicle for people to feel seen, heard and represented. That I will have told important and impactful stories that moved the needle in the way we view humanity and the ways in which we treat one another, and that I will have been able to provide an expansive and fun life for my family.

Lora Chow | Composer & Soprano

As a composer, I want to keep creating music for as long as my life is, and my goal is that my music will continue to be played and to inspire positive changes for hundreds, or even thousands, of years after my lifetime.
I watched John Williams conducting his music in Tokyo’s Suntory Hall last year, at aged 91, and I am greatly inspired by him! Read more>>
