I Almost Got Shot by a Drug Dealer — What it Taught Me About Sales

Bravery, ignorance, and stupidity are next door neighbors — My guy’s name was Key. I have an inkling about why they called him that, but I never did ask the 6-and-a-half-foot beast of a cocaine dealer where he got his name from. Key and I got along pretty well, despite our differences. …

Doing the Right Thing is Stupid and Nearly Killed Me — Here’s What I Wish I’d Done

Living the good life > “doing it right” — The entire left side of my body is glowing with white-hot pain. I can’t take a breath. I’m drowning in dry air. My left leg is mangled; my femur is shattered and the foot is hanging on by a thread. …

When My Legs Didn’t Work, This Was All That Mattered…

My entire life’s focus was on one single thing… — The first thing I noticed when I woke up was the tube sticking out of my leg… It was the diameter of a pencil, and filled with blood. One end was inside my leg, and attached to the other end was something resembling a weird-looking hockey puck. It was a…

Don’t Should on Yourself — You’re Already a Pro

The only thing standing in your way is 10,000 hours — I’m sitting in a therapist’s office. I tell the lovely woman that I should be further ahead in life. I should have done this.

Just Fuck My Emails Up, Fam

Clients have absolutely no idea what they want — Let’s start with a story… You’ve spent a lot of money on a car. It’s a nice one, nothing insanely fancy, but it’s more expensive and complicated than any car you’ve ever owned. And something’s not right. It doesn’t chooch like it should. The hang-dangler’s at the wrong angle. There’s…

You Know I’m Out on Bond, Right?

Loretta got fed up and called the cops — Then he said to his friend… “Well, you know, shit happens.” I try not to listen to people’s conversations. I really do. But at this time, I was standing in a very long line at the gas station. And I was bored… The man continued… “Anyways, I went to Walmart…

What’s Your Bill Withers Story?

You’re nobody ’til you’re somebody, and even then… — “Ain’t No Sunshine” wasn’t written by a superstar songwriting duo. It was written by a factory worker from a small coal-mining town… By a nobody who dreamed of bigger things. Bill bought a guitar and taught himself how to play. Then, he started writing songs.
