Terrence McClain, AKA The Joy Fanatic, on Courage, Creativity and Landmark Education

Through his participation in a Landmark Education course in the 1990s, it became abundantly clear to Terrence McClain that there was nothing in the way of doing whatever he wanted in life--except limiting thoughts. Unleashed, he set about to create a space where others could likewise unleash their creativity. He opened, Cafe Futures, one of the first internet cafes in the Los Angeles Area.

Like so many of the 365 Brothers, he's multi-talented. He's an entrepreneur, a DJ, a great vegetarian cook, and founder of The Joy Fanatic Foundation. His interests include classic German cars, natural foods and spiritual symbolism, real estate and finance. This retired civil servant is living a full life.

Favorite movie:  Trading Places. Favorite songs are The sound of Philadelphia and Theme from Shaft. 

Favorite words: Ask and It Is Given by Esther and Jeremy Hicks
