Everyone meet the multi-talented businessman Edward Skinner. After talking to him personally, you too would say that he's truly a role model for all. Eddy has a passion for all aspects of creativity, art, music, humanitarianism, and philanthropy. His sole goal in life is “to contribute to the positive progression of humans as a whole.” He’s what I call an Ambitionist! He had a vision for owning his own business conglomerate called Reaching Your Dreams while in high school. Edward is now doing everything to make his business become a global success! Reaching Your Dreams is a management, marketing, media, humanitarian and creative directory company. RYD's motto is to help everyone with a passion and to help each other reach their dream as much as they can.
1.) How was life for you while growing up?
Of course it wasn't all peaches & cream. Never met my father, struggled with my phenomenal mother. She has always been a supporter of mine. No matter what it was, she encouraged what I wanted to do. Ever since I was little I've always been drawn to music and the arts. Always been in my blood. Couldn't escape it and I never want to.
2.) Who/what inspires you?
Life inspires me. Art inspires. Dreamers inspire me. Music inspires me. Just seeing people strive to obtain what they want out of life inspires me to keep going and to help people. That's all I want to do in life, help people, spread positivity, spread love, spread peace, spread unity, and spread inspiration. I just love life, music, art, and people.
I think I've known it my whole entire life. I've always had a knack for marketing. Always been my specialty. I can make anyone pay attention to whatever I'm offering. Me wanting to be a humanitarian has always been there. I've forever been a giver. I love to give and I love to uplift. As long as I know others are reaching tier dreams, that's all the payment and reassurance I need in life.
4.) How did Reaching Your Dreams come about?
One day I was pondering on the fact that there's too much division in the world, period. Nobody wants to see another person be great. Everybody wants to step on the next man and down others for personal gain. All the politics, all the fake facades, the imaginary high horses, etc. It all annoys me. There's no unity, uplift, togetherness. I wanted/want to change this and create a company to be the platform towards a positive change.
5.) What exactly is Reaching Your Dreams? Who's involved with this movement?
Reaching Your Dreams is a collective made up of individuals who share parallel interests in art, music, creativity, and humanitarianism. We are a group of individuals that are multi-talented in many different areas, and we each use out strengths to help one another move forward and progress in our craft. From videography, creative directory, photography, engineering, music, marketing, humanitarian and philanthropy work, etc. Our motto is to help each other as much as we can. We aim to solely help people, no matter what. My passion has always been to be a humanitarian & marketing/management business owner. My sole goal in life to contribute to the positive progression of humans as a whole. I'm trying to do this with Reaching Your Dreams. That's why I'm building a team of people who are as positive minded as me and can contribute to this.
