B/R: How have you taken advantage of living in the Big Apple?

RJ: I don’t know where to start. For me, NY is like an adult Toys R Us. I love learning. I’m curious about so much. I get to meet so many different CEOs, the culture, you get to see so many parts of the world in one place. Yeah, I take advantage of it. Every company I want to talk to, I reach out. I go to headquarters, sit down, find ways to connect, find ways to create programs for my foundation. I’m working with Nickelodeon right now creating a cartoon.

B/R: What’s the cartoon you're developing?

RJ: Ah, man it’s a secret right now. I could tell you about it in a couple of weeks. I can tell you it was intriguing to go behind the scenes to see how they create a cartoon. That was the coolest to me.
