Vision with Charles "Mask" Lewis, Jr.

I'm guessing that most of you who read this blog are not familiar with the sport of Mixed Martial Arts. It is a lot of blood and guts, and I'm not necessarily recommending it as a new hobby. However, one of the early dreamers behind the development of MMA as a self-sustaining industry was Charles "Mask" Lewis, Jr. He was well known for his face paint and all-out-there personality. And he co-founded a product line called TapouT with a few friends in those early years. "Mask" died in a car accident this week, and his memoiral service was held at the Crystal Cathedral in southern California.

I came across this video of the last interview that "Mask"gave before his death. And in it he talks about what it means to believe in the vision that you have. I think that "Mask" well articulates the needed commitment to see a vision become a reality.
