Dean Johnson
“If I was walking down the street and I saw somebody with a jetpack fly over me, I’d believe anything’s possible.
I’d be inspired.
Doesn’t that make the world a better place?”
This isn’t Dean’s quote – it’s from the Disney film Tomorrowland. The movie itself is entertaining, visually stunning, but most importantly… it’s inspirational.
