Working is one of the most important things any person does, yet it can be daunting to step into the employment arena. Jen Worth is on a crusade to make sure that those who feel like outliers get the jobs they want and deserve.

In order to look into the future, it is important to observe the past. So said a wise man somewhere once. Either that or I read it on a fortune cookie last week after take-out from NaNa’s Kitchen; regardless the phrase is accurate, because history will always be relevant to your future, providing you pay attention. It is therefore fitting that as I take a brief look back at the year which was 2019, and peek into this new decade, we also acknowledge the exciting perpetual motion in the “2010s” which has got Metallica charging into a fourth decade.

Metallica might be taking some downtime, but as Robert Trujillo tells Steffan Chirazi, he is decidedly not. “He is already a better pick-player than I am, and the ideas he has flying around his mind are just something else,” enthuses Robert Trujillo about his son as he loses himself further in describing the extent of his favorite bass player’s talents. “Tye just has this incredible musical mind, I find myself in awe of it, and not only that, he is a top skater too. The kid’s a two-pronged Westside rep!”
