I have watched Edwin "El Calvito" Reys on social media and had the opportunity to interview him on Infinity Endless Possibilities. What a moving and humbling experience during the interview. Edwin believes that it is important to set goals and work hard to achieve them because you can't wait for someone to do it for you. He wants to be remember as the guy that never quit. The guy that if he didn't know English he learned it in order to have a career. The guy that tried everything possible even the impossible. To be remembered as the person that understood how important is to lend a hand in helping one another. To be the best husband and father that he can be. If you were able to conquer one challenge, obstacle or roadblock and you got up you are able to conquer other. You must believe in yourself and have faith. These were some of my take aways of the amazing interview that allowed me to dive a bit into the soul and beliefs of Edwin "El Calvito" Reyes. When you have a moment, listen and enjoy his music. Thank you Edwin "El Calvito" Reyes!
