New project

Hello,
Universal Interview has released its newest project!

I am starting a new program called "A day in the life of.."
This new segment will be more then an interview but will show the jobs of executives,actors and athletes of all different types of companies. I started this because I don't think executives and actors efforts are appreciated enough. People always try to talk as if they can handle it but in actuality they can't!  It's unreasonable for me to aspire to be D-Will or Brett Yormark but trying to be someone like an executive is reasonable with the right effort.

The project will be launched with someone who I consider my mentor,David Robinson!
I have reached to people I have been in contact with such as Marc Cuban and Kki.

Is there more to the NBA then the teams themselves?

Is there more to the NBA then the teams themselves? 

I am happy to report that the answer is YES! The NBA consists of people of the highest caliber and people who like to be a class act. I personally have met three major NBA executives (David Robinson, Kiki Vandeweghe and Rod Thorn). I have stayed in touch with Kiki and David. The NBA is represented by people who are dignified and all have a story. I would like to fill you in on a short bio of the three executives I have met:

Rod Thorn: He drafted Michael Jordan when he was GM of the Bulls and he is responsible for the best trade in Nets history,trading for Jason Kidd. Besides for Jason's exceptional style on and off the court he is also the current Nets head coach.
Kiki: Kiki is an amazing person. He is a former player for the Trail Blazers and was also head coach for the Nets. He was drafted in the first round and had an amazing career as a GM,coach and player. He is now the NBA VP of Basketball operations.




R to L- Mirza Teletovic,Issac,me
David Robinson: David is someone who is friendly and caring. I have had a lot of contact with him over the last month and everything he does is because he cares. He personally has helped my friend Issac and I numerous times. He has recently become one of my inspirations and mentors. He has taught me to have confidence in what I do. 

He was telling me stories about himself and how he was supposed to be a player. Unfortunately due to an injury he is doing the second best thing by being an executive in the NBA. 

I am glad I am able to say I have met and know Mr. Robinson

Last nights Courtside Nets game

Me with NBA executive David Robinson
Hi!

Michael Here! Last night I had the opportunity to go to the Nets game,COURTSIDE! The experience was great and I would like to give a shout out to Sruly on getting me the tickets.

So I walk in to the awe inspiring Calvin Klein club and suddenly see the World renowned actor Michael J Fox! He didn't look in a good mood so I didn't bother him but he was there and next to me.

I walk to my seats relax and get ready for tipoff. The game was going well with a very close game.  It's the second quarter and my phone gets a buzz. So I open my phone and it's an email from one of my newest inspirations,NBA executive,David Robinson! The email says "If you get emails during the game please tell me your seat and section ASAP!" I immediately respond and enjoy the rest of the game. The buzzer  beeps and it's time to enjoy the club for half time. As I am walking there David pops out at me and says "What's up!?" He probably didn't realize how awesome timing it was. My classmates were sitting right there and they happen to see an NBA executive walk over to me and start to talk. We spoke for a few minutes and then he gave me tickets to the post game away team meet and greet VIP. I then asked him for a photograph and I see one of the esteemed ball boys and he offered to take the pic. I then took a picture with the Ball Boy and moved on to the place I embarked to go,the Calvin Klein club. I then meet someone I go way back with,exec VP of the Nets,Leo Ehrline! We spoke for a few seconds and moved on. Feeling on top of the world in that club I head straight to the Nets practice court. There they serve unlimited chocolate and you are able to play on the court.

Half time is over so we head to our seats and start to watch the game.


The game is now over and we need to head to our VIP section (Thanks to Mr. Robinson) and who walks out? None other than future Rookie of the year,Michael Carter Williams! He was extremely nice and thoughtful. I gave him my card and he told me he will get in touch with  me for an interview!

I then see Spencer Hawes chilling with a group of people. Everyone around him was cracking up! I went over there and he was hilarious. He kept joking about the Super Bowl and about the Seahawks.  I also gave him my card and he told me he will contact me as well. We walked away back to where we started from and Mirza Teletovic walked out! We spoke for a while,he was SUPER nice! Calm and very friendly. Very nice to see a guy like Mirza on the court with his kids. His kids where playing Basketball and actually scored! Do we have an up and coming Mirza?

Luis Collazo more then a fighter?



Recently I have interviewed the amazing Luis Collazo. I have learnt many things from that experience such as now learning how spiritual he is. If I had to guess, I'd say fighters aren't very spiritual as they feel they can bear anyone but apparently either the stereotype is completely false or Luiz Collazo is an exception! Look below for the proof!

  1. Ephesians 3:20 God can do ABUNDANTLY more than you can imagine! #Faith#Believe#spiritualLife
  2. I learn acting out on flesh emotions dnt lead to anything good.
  3. it's amazing! Most interesting person I followed in a while!!
 

Nothing new to report about Johan Santana

I was pretty sure the Mets where going to sign Johan Santana to a minor league deal. As of last night there is nothing new to report. I have spoken to Chris Leible who has confirmed that their is nothing new to report.

Super Bowl fun!

Hello!
Right now I am in the middle of watching the super bowl. This year Bruno Mars will be playing at halftime but IM5 will be singing at every touch down for the rest of the night! Watch the #TouchDownDance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oEWVsXHZVc It's AMAZING!

Looking forward to interviewing the band in the near future!
