Louie: So Happy Birthday!
Juan: Yes! Thanks Mom and Dad. I am 42 and still going strong.
Louie: How are you different at 42 than when you were 22?
Juan: I'm not so much in a rush. Family is my main goal and enjoying our time together. I also am into photography. I love taking pictures all around Philadelphia.
Louie: What is the greatest lesson you have learned and how did you learn it.
Juan: Believe in love and I found that out through heartbreak.
Louie: You're a twin, right? How are y'all different?
Juan: He's smarter and more analytical. I'm more social and kinder...maybe even a little more naive.
Louie: You're the cuter one?
