on right of exile. Lifestyle tat come, I was probably five or six years old. The first I thought I was going to die. The exact context of what happened is fuzzy, as I was just a little kid But I know I was at a friends house, and I know this friend had a pool in their backyard and I know that one of the other kids swam up behind me and pull me under just as I was trying to get out of the pool. It was a playful joking act. The kind of thing- oh boys is due to each other all the time, but he had taken a deep breath before you some and I had not after a handful of seconds I was dark under water staring at the unreachable rim of the pool completely out of breath. My flailed. Instead, ambled behind nowhere left and my energy was sad. I was well and truly screwed We clearly having one felt at the time, like a very adult thought. This is it. This is how it ends. This is how I die

so the kind of thing I suspected you don't have to worry about for a while or perhaps ever since I was a kid and the concept of actual physical consequences for things wasn't fully baked into my conception of the world at the last month when does dark spot scrub. The n word from the corners of my eyes. I popped back up to the surface. Like a cork, I scrambled up to the side of the pool and cried looking for an adult to who am I, blind and then swiftly forgot all about it most of it anyway. The moment of uncomfortable clarity, stuck with me, as did the new found death inclusive world view that inspired I've been fortunate in the years since those halcyon days of swimming pools and rough housing in for about contacts. There have been a few brushes with tragedy here and there, but nothing truly dramatic, nothing personally, debilitating or life altering in a hugely negative way. I've had reason to think those same words again, though, in very different circumstances. I start my first business when I was in college.

The sword amount of fanfares surroundings, arrival in the local business ecosystem shall launch event felt like a milestone to me. These are represented in extreme push into the unknown as testing the far expanses of my abilities and my shuffling in what felt like the right direction somehow resulted in a product that, in totally suckin, was a wily reviled in retrospect that same event now stands out as a high point before fall, the business hit is Crescendo Earl, I didn't know enough or have enough experience to recognize it. My own there are many things lead to its collapse that failure marked by an immensely hyped in wildly unsuccessful second event than I do. That first event, though- and everything seemed to be I so well, and when I still had no inkling of what might come next, I thought those same words. This is it. This is a turning point of some kind. This is something important

worth remembering. This could be a moment. I look back on as the start of something wonderful that did turn out to be the case in a way, though, not in this sense, I originally intended that failure was an important moment of growth for me at home erect He knows value of many things I had taken for granted and gave me the opportunity damn back up under my own steam. After taking a gut punch There is one more moment in which those words came to mind that again served as something of a turning point in my life years after that failed expire. And I was living in L a as on my third business, and this one was doing really well way better than I could have hoped for actually concerning them the petitioners phasing at the time and the market at a client who had become something of a mentor to me. And who was offering me an opportunity to come into the fold to work for him to run some of his business interests to make gobs of money to have a certain kind of lifestyle

I remember standing there in his office looking around the trappings of wealth, with which he surrounded himself thinking about all the people, odd man who worked for him and all the wealth trappings they possessed and flaunted also thought about how machine Besides dealing with pretty much all the time while working for him to pay off was high, but the expectations and potential the We're were also amplified everyday things like getting stuck in traffic and struggling asleep. Collecting the jam for the third night, a row were wearing, I may physically and psychologically being stressed. All the time was stressing the out this is it. I thought I can see future. I can see it all roll down in front of me like a red carpet, a huge opportune you have the kind I've been hoping for, since I got into business, became an entrepreneur, the big pay off the next three decades or as set in stone chiseled into ridiculously expensive marble. Remember the

look that Klein gave me when I thanked him, but turned him down whose unthinkable that I would say no in such a sure thing, a gold paved path that decisions are not to be perhaps the best one. I ever It is no coincidence that it was also one of the most difficult there a part of me that wonders how things might be different. Had I vastly more monetary wealth than time the opposite of what I chose. What I love about my lifestyle today- is that, although there are periodic whispers, The first story moments where I wonder if I stumbled into something dangerous or even fatal. I experienced plenty of the second opportunities to challenge myself and face difficulties emerging stronger on the other side and in the eight years, as I saw traveling since a pivotal moment and ally have yet to be faced with a predictable future, one in which my entire story is visible.
