We want you to come out here and interview “Freeway Rick Ross” on stage. Who? I was talking to Jayson Gaignard. I don’t really know anything about anything so Jayson had to explain and then I looked up Rick. And then I got obsessed. Rick Ross had sold about a billion dollars worth of crack […]

I really blew it and everyone knows it. I’ve even spoken at conferences on Failure. I might’ve even deluded myself into thinking I was the keynote speaker.
