They’re creative, ambitious, curious to try new things, and passionate about their work. “We are entrepreneurs, that is super important to us, we work every single day,” Green said talking about their work ethic and how he got to where he is today. “I’ve had a lot of people who helped me out and supported me throughout my career. I think the best way to honor the people who have really invested in me is to go and do something really ambitious, to let them know their investment is well spent and whether it is with my films, or with WAYE for Sinead, we are trying to be as ambitious as possible.”
Both Sinead and Mark Anthony are firm believers in the act of creating the life you want to live. “Your dream job should be an extension of your life, which usually means you have to create it yourself. Just don’t be afraid to do it,” Sinead explains some advice for aspiring creatives. After leaving her corporate job, she finally found her passions and inspiration when she was able to get her hands dirty in designing her dream future and career. Mark Anthony, looking lovingly at Sinead advises young people to, “follow Sinead, be an entrepreneur, be focusing on your skills and how to work for yourself!” She laughs, “I’m serious, they will learn that all from you!”
Conscious of her greatness to lead and succeed as told by Mark Anthony, Sinead is also aware of potential fears, “I’m scared of not getting things to the level that I want them to be, it’s my worst fear, but also my biggest motivation. I’m not afraid to get to the destination itself, I’m going to use all of my energy to get there.” As for Mark Anthony, he has a similar outlook, “My greatest fear is probably that I will run out of time, you can control a lot of things, but you can’t control time I feel a great responsibility to really deliver, on a lot of things, it’s not just my career, I want to be a good partner, a good person, to help people, truly help people, I don’t want to run out of time before I’ve actually gotten the chance to do that.”
