It’s not every day you get to go to Jamaica. I remember going for Spring Break one year while studying at Babson. When you’re in Jamaica, you hear Bob Marley songs in the wind as if he’s playing somewhere off in the distance.
A special surprise at the end of our trip was hearing his songs performed live by his son Ziggy to a huge crowd on the cliffs of Negril.
Last week Bob Marley would have turned 75, and in a way, he will always be with us thanks to the reggae sound he created.
In an interview with NPR, Ziggy explains that his father kept things light even when they visited him on his deathbed. He helped lighten the load.
I remember being in our backyard last summer, hearing “Natural Mystic” blowing in the southwest wind as Stephen Marley kicked off his set at the Newport Folk Festival. It was a surreal moment.
When you listen to “Natural Mystic,” imagine the love, peace, and freedom that inspired Marley’s creativity. Today, as we remember his legend, think about how you can bring those feelings into your own personal and professional endeavors each day to make them worth remembering.

E.J. has trained at Sig Sauer Academy in Epping, NH, where he completed course-work in Practical and Defensive Handgun, Conceal Carry Pistol, Shotguns, Precision Scope Rifle and Kidnapping Prevention.
E.J. plays a Yamaha Recording Custom drum set with Zilldjian cymbals. His first drum set was a 5-piece Slingerland with Zilldjians. He grew-up worshiping Neil Peart (RIP) of the band Rush, and loves the song Tom Sawyer—the name of his family’s boat, a Grady-White Canyon 306. He grew up in Mattapoisett, MA, an idyllic small town on the water near Cape Cod. He spends time in Newport, RI and Bartlett, NH—both as far away from Wall Street as one could mentally get. The Newport office is on a quiet, tree lined street not far from the harbor and the log cabin in Bartlett, NH, the “Live Free or Die” state, sits on the edge of the White Mountain National Forest. He enjoys spending time in Key West and Paris.
