I called my mom immediately and I talked to her.' It was something that was super, super amazing, but that's only three people out of 100 who all were given the Time 100. And then for me to be like, 'Well, when I found out I was laying on the couch and I get a call. But before we took the selfie we had a conversation and she asked me and 'The Rock,' 'Where were you when you got that call? What were you guys doing and how did you feel?' And it was super interesting to hear, we all have different routines, to hear Gayle's routine and to hear 'The Rock''s routine. Khalid: It was cool talking to Gayle as well, me and 'The Rock' and Gayle, we even took a selfie together. Did you find talking with these people at Time 100 there was a lot in common? I was like, 'Wow, I can't believe I'm on the list myself.' It was definitely a blessing.īaltin: I have found being at FORBES there are a lot of similarities in successful people, from business to athletes to musicians. I just happen to be acknowledging and appreciating the other 99. It really puts you into a different perspective because I'm like, 'Wow, there's so much talent in the world on every aspect.' Everyone deserves to be where they are, especially at the Time 100, everybody deserves their spot. I don't know how it is to be any of those things other than a musician, so it's super cool. It's always super cool to step out of your element and go into a different world to see people that I've seen on TV cause I don't know how it is to be an actor or to see people who are in politics or journalists. I've been really big on music, music has definitely been my forefront.

Khalid: In my life right now everything feels like a dream and it's all unraveling in front of my own eyes.

Baltin: Because you do work with so many musicians it is almost more exotic and unique to meet people outside of music?
