Don’t be Fearful of Being Fearless With Guest, Ray Smith

At 81, Ray Smith credits his happiness to saying "yes" to life, mostly due to the fact that he did not know the word "no"! He never planned but took what came his way, never worried about what wasn't important and learned that you can't be fearful of being fearless.

Ray's eclectic, exhuberant, remarkable, and multi-faceted career began as a dancer on American Bandstand, the first national television show in the 1950s devoted to rock and roll. He's been a dancer, actor, film critic, director and writer. Ray worked on several movies and recently appeared on a documentary about the history of disco music. His dance career included being a member of a Sachiyo Ito's Japanese dance company and the Noche Flamenca Dance Company, where he was the company manager, road manager and Board President for many years. Not the least of his many accomplishments is his 49 year career at NBC TV, for which he won an EMMY award in 2007 for writing and producing.

Ray has an indefatigable love of life which led him to look within and ask the "big" questions, like, who am I and what is my life really about? Through those questions he has discovered what's inside him that makes him content.

May his insights spark yours as well.
