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

Hi Jay, how do you define success?
I think success should be measured by how happy your are, how much fun your having in life and if your working on yourself to be a better person each day

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
What’ sets me apart from others is my ability to immerse myself in whatever is I’m doing, I may not be the most talented but my dedication and discipline keeps me focused in pursuit of my endeavors. Im really proud to come from experiences that molded me to be who I am today. I got to where I am professionally by being patient and working with my peers. I want the world to know that I can’t be put in a box.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
We would definitely check out wynwood. That place has the coolest bars and the art work around the city is amazing. I think the most interesting place to check out is Hollywood Florida, it’s a small city with a big personality
