I just quit my job and walked away from a 6 figure salary, pension, benefits and all the vacation days I want.

And while this might be the SCARIEST thing I’ve ever done, I couldn’t be more excited.

Nothing here was easy, but it’s doable.

Here’s the story of finally achieving “escape velocity”

🧵

What Dane Cook figured out 20 years ago, still works today.

I just watched Dane Cooks documentary on Netflix and dang was it good!

Dane was the Nate Bargatze for us Millennials. He was (is) a rockstar comic who found his way into every CD player and iPod in the early 2000s.

And he did this through finding the right distribution channel.

He realized that through MySpace he was able to connect with his fans on a massive scale and in a way that comics hadn’t ever really done before.

Very similar to how Taylor Swift grew here following. Taking care, responding to and appreciating loyal followers.

Such a wild story about how he was able to leverage eyeballs on MySpace to become one of the greatest comedians of that generation.

Guests and stories like this, fire me up! This is why I freaking love my work! @JVCocoDeals was incredible! This is a must listen!

If you are any one of these listeners, I cannot even tell you how much I appreciate you. Truly!

This is NOT small. These are people that are listening to episodes that I put time and energy and genuinely pour into the words I say.

I share without holding anything back from the long hard lessons that I’ve learned and I am beyond thankful that anyone takes the time to listen.

Just got this from @bot … this is going to get interesting.

Who should I call first?
