When Duane Forrest was asked about what was the main inspiration behind the name “Climb” Forrest said: Inspiration came in the form of a woman I met in Mexico. You hear about her at the beginning of the show. She could see that I was interested in her, She was quick to pick up how interested I was in her, but I didn’t have the courage to speak with her. Because of that, she came up to me and said: “Diego, Yo soy una manzana, que esta arriba en un árbol. En este árbol hay muchas manzanas, y unos en el suelo, facil para recoger, pero si tu quieres a mi, tienes que subir” A rough translation of her words goes along the lines of “I’m an apple high up in a tree, if you want to be with me, you’ll have to climb”. This statement stayed with me throughout my travels and life, and even influenced my music. It’s really learning about my worth or my partner’s worth, where we’re constantly growing and changing. Today, our company is now called Apple in the Tree Co.
