The Fire Inside – A Reflection on Life, Dreams, and Resilience

Written By Aaron G Beebe

Last night, I had the privilege of watching The Fire Inside with my mom and sister. This movie, directed by Rachel Morrison and starring Ryan Destiny, chronicles the inspiring journey of Claressa "T-Rex" Shields, a young boxer from Flint, Michigan, who fought her way to the 2012 Summer Olympics. But to me, this movie was much more than a story about boxing—it was a mirror reflecting my own life, struggles, and aspirations.

The Fire Inside reminded me of the many obstacles I’ve faced and the resilience it takes to push forward. Like Claressa, I’ve had moments where the odds seemed insurmountable, but giving up was never an option. Watching her story unfold on screen brought back memories of my own journey—through hardships, setbacks, and the relentless fight to pursue my dreams.

What struck me most was the film’s authenticity. It didn’t sugarcoat the struggles or romanticize the path to success. It showed the raw, unfiltered reality of fighting for a better life, whether in the ring or in the world. Claressa's determination to rise above her circumstances resonated deeply with me. It’s a reminder that greatness is not defined by where you start but by how fiercely you pursue your dreams.

For me, this movie wasn’t just entertainment; it was a personal call to action. Like Claressa, I’ve faced moments where my dreams felt out of reach, but every setback only fueled my resolve. The story reinforced something I’ve always believed: champions are made not in moments of glory, but in the quiet battles we fight every day to keep going, no matter what life throws at us.

This film also made me reflect on the importance of family and community. My mom and sister have always been my greatest supporters, and sharing this experience with them reminded me that no one achieves success alone. Having a strong support system is crucial, whether it’s family, friends, or the neighborhood that shaped you.

At GonnaHappen, our mission has always been about inspiring people to dream big and go after what they love. Watching The Fire Inside reignited my passion for what we do—bringing people closer to the stories, events, and experiences that remind us all to keep pushing forward.

To anyone reading this, I encourage you to see this movie and let it reignite the fire inside you. No matter where you come from, no matter the challenges you face, remember that you have the power to rise above it all.

Here’s to chasing dreams, fighting for what we believe in, and becoming champions in our own lives. Because no matter what, it’s all gonna happen.

The Scammers' Playbook: A Journey Through Online Deception

The Scammers' Playbook: A Journey Through Online Deception

By Aaron G. Beebe

In the age of social media, where connections are instant and opportunities seem endless, the dark side of online interactions has become more pervasive than ever. Over the years, I’ve encountered countless scams and deceitful schemes aimed at derailing my efforts, stealing my money, and tarnishing my reputation. My journey through this labyrinth of lies has been exhausting, but sharing my story might help others recognize these traps and protect themselves.

The VIP Fan Card Scam

It started with what seemed to be an exciting opportunity—a connection through a well-known celebrity fan page. They offered me a position within a celebrity’s company, claiming it came with exclusive benefits and high-profile projects. I was intrigued, but something felt off. They wanted payment upfront for a “VIP Fan Card” to secure my place. When I questioned the legitimacy, they insisted I communicate further on Telegram or WhatsApp.

I decided to play along. I paid the fee, not because I believed in their offer, but because I wanted to understand their operation. As expected, the “VIP Fan Card” turned out to be a hoax. These scammers were exploiting the names of celebrities to prey on fans and professionals like me. My financial loss was real, but exposing their game felt like a small victory.

The Fake Recruiter Scheme

No sooner had I dealt with the fan card scam than I was hit with another ploy. This time, a recruiter reached out with an attractive job offer. They claimed to represent a reputable company and wanted me to talk to their “boss” through WhatsApp. Alarm bells rang in my head.

Despite my suspicions, I engaged with them to see how far they would go. Their tactics were polished—they used convincing scripts and even had fake LinkedIn profiles to back their claims. But when they started asking for sensitive information and payment for “job processing fees,” I knew this was another elaborate scam.

The Impersonation Nightmare

As if these scams weren’t enough, my social media accounts became a target. Scammers hijacked my profiles and began reaching out to my contacts, pretending to be me. They offered fake deals, pitched bogus projects, and even tried to scam my friends and colleagues. The damage to my reputation was immense.

The most horrifying part? They didn’t stop there. They created impostor accounts to double their efforts, causing confusion and mistrust among my network. These attacks were not just about money—they were about dismantling my hard-earned credibility.

Lessons Learned

This journey has been a brutal reminder of how ruthless online scammers can be. They exploit trust, manipulate emotions, and use sophisticated methods to deceive. Here are a few lessons I’ve learned:

1. Stay Skeptical: If something feels too good to be true, it probably is. Always verify the source before engaging.

2. Avoid Third-Party Apps: Scammers often push for communication on platforms like Telegram and WhatsApp, where they can operate anonymously.

3. Protect Your Accounts: Use strong passwords, enable two-factor authentication, and monitor your accounts regularly for suspicious activity.

4. Report and Expose: Whenever possible, report scams to the appropriate authorities and warn others to prevent them from falling victim.

Moving Forward

Despite the financial losses, the emotional toll, and the professional setbacks, I refuse to let these scams define my journey. The entertainment industry is my passion, and while scammers may try to derail me, they cannot stop what’s truly “gonna happen.”

To anyone reading this, remember: scammers thrive on fear and confusion. Stay informed, stay vigilant, and never hesitate to call out deception when you see it. Together, we can make the online world a little safer.

“Meet Billy Murray: The Rogue Photographer Redefining Bold and Authentic Imagery”

Let me introduce you to a photographer who’s redefining the art of storytelling through his lens: Billy Murray of Hosstyle Photography. A month ago, I had the privilege of working with Billy on new headshots to refresh my website and just for FUN! As a rock ‘n’ roll publicist and edgy entrepreneur, I wanted photos that showcased my strength, boldness, and personality—and Billy absolutely delivered.

Billy Murray is not just a photographer; he’s a rising star in the creative world, leaving his mark across Los Angeles, Canada, and beyond. His ability to capture raw, authentic moments is unparalleled, and his versatility as a traveling photographer makes him accessible no matter where you’re based.

But there’s more—Billy is now my client, and I couldn’t be more excited to share his incredible work with you. If you’re thinking about updating your photos or want to work with someone who truly understands how to bring out your best, reach out to me. Trust me, his story and talent are worth knowing. Here’s a glimpse into his journey.

Billy Murray: The Rogue Photographer Redefining Badass Portraiture in Los Angeles

In a city brimming with creative talent, Billy Murray is carving a niche as one of Los Angeles’ most exciting up-and-coming photographers. Known for his dark, moody aesthetic and unique ability to turn his subjects into unrecognizable, cinematic villains, Murray’s work is in high demand among those seeking bold, unforgettable portraits. But his rise to prominence wasn’t conventional—it’s a story fueled by grit, passion, and an unrelenting creative vision.

From Fighter to Photographer

Billy Murray’s creative journey began in the world of combat sports. As the founder of Hosstyle Talent, a web company that connected fighters with sponsorships and entertainment opportunities, Murray often traveled to gyms armed with nothing more than a Samsung Android phone, a single light, and a black backdrop. This minimalist setup allowed him to create striking promo clips, igniting his love for visual storytelling.

“I really started loving the dark and moody concept,” he recalls. “I kept getting more creative with the process, learning little tricks, and honing my future style. I added one piece of photography equipment at a time, and by 2022, I finally purchased my first camera.”

What began as makeshift shoots in his apartment studio has since evolved into a fully-fledged creative powerhouse. Inspired by the gritty, raw energy of 70s, 80s, and 90s films, Murray’s work captures the essence of his subjects while pushing them outside their comfort zones.

A Signature Style That Stands Alone

Murray’s distinct artistic vision hasn’t gone unnoticed. One of his defining moments came when a famous Hollywood actor’s wife remarked, “If you were to put up 100 different badass photos, I would be able to spot your work instantly. It stands alone!”

For Murray, the secret lies in the process. “Everyone has a dark side or an alter ego,” he says. “The goal is to pull that out and create a photo that keeps telling a story long after it’s been taken. Like a movie poster, the right pose, lighting, and wardrobe can portray an entire narrative in a single frame.”

Through his unique approach, Murray transforms his clients into larger-than-life characters—villains in their own cinematic stories. Whether it’s an intense stare, dramatic lighting, or an unexpected wardrobe choice, his work exudes an energy that’s both powerful and unforgettable.

Looking Ahead: A Vision for the Future

Murray’s aspirations for his brand, Hosstyle Photography, are as ambitious as his creative pursuits. Currently based in Toronto but with eyes set on Los Angeles and New York, he envisions his studios becoming the go-to hubs for bold, badass portraiture.

“In 5 to 10 years, I want to be the most in-demand photographer for badass portraits,” he shares. “But beyond that, I want to evolve—as a father, as a photographer, and as a human being. Without personal growth, none of these successes would mean anything.”

The Man Behind the Lens

Billy Murray’s path to photography is as unconventional as his work. A former competitive boxer and actor—his claim to fame being the star of a Megadeth music video— “Whose Life [Is It Anyways?]” Murray approaches his craft with the same discipline and intensity that once defined his time in the ring.

His lack of formal training hasn’t hindered his progress; instead, it’s fueled a raw, unfiltered creative energy. “I have no background in photography, no formal training, or previous knowledge in this field,” he says. “But what drives me is my creative eye and vision.”

When he’s not behind the camera, you’ll find Murray living an active lifestyle, hitting the gym, or enjoying coffee. His commitment to health and balance keeps his creative demons at bay, allowing him to channel his energy into his art.

Why Billy Murray Is the Photographer to Watch

Billy Murray is more than just a photographer—he’s a storyteller, a visionary, and a creative force who dares to reimagine portraiture. His ability to transform his subjects and capture their essence in ways they never thought possible sets him apart in a crowded industry.

For those looking to uncover their inner badass or create an immortal masterpiece, Billy Murray is the name to know. With a growing reputation and an unstoppable drive, he’s poised to become one of the most sought-after photographers in Los Angeles and beyond.
