We had the good fortune of connecting with Jay Wil and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jay, what habits do you feel play an important role in your life?
Honestly I would say consistency/good energy/and bring my genuine has helped me succeed so far it’s help foster great working relationships and opportunities!!

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
One thing I think separates me is my creative eye for things and understanding how everything works I’m very detail oriented. But it also helps to have such a vast imagination of creative ideas. It definitely hasn’t been easy a lot of ups and downs, rejections, missed opportunities no where close to being easy but it’s my dream and I can’t really allow those to journey. I would say having a good support group as far as family or even friends that motivate you or inspire or even you inspire them can always make it lighter at the low times. I would say I would want the world to know it’s never too late to reinvent yourself or even change dreams really as you grow so does your dreams.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Let’s see if it’s spring/ summer time definitely taking them to a cookout or outside restaurant, Definitely have to do brunch in DC the vibed there are always cool and plus there’s a lot of scenery and monuments as well. But also visit the inner harbor it’s nice during the spring time a lot of activities.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
