I had the job of a lifetime. I was making more money than I could’ve imagined at age 28. I sold a billion dollars in real estate deals, making 7-figures a year. And I walked away from it all to chase something money can't buy. Here's my story.

How the F does this cost $6.15 in Montego Bay airport?? And yes I’m stupid enough to purchase it anyway.

TSA gives you the option to opt out of the photo. Every time I opt out the TSA agent is an asshole about it. Why??

Is it me or is it obvious that if you’re paying $175 million to buy a company solely for its data then your due diligence should focus on verifying said data

One of the things I’m most grateful for as a business owner? Freedom. The freedom to take a midday gym break between meetings. To take client calls while walking around the neighborhood. To work from anywhere that I can set up my monitors and have a strong WiFi connection. Owning a business certainly brings a new set of stress, anxiety, and sleepless nights. But I’ve never once looked back or regretted my decision. Because at the end of the day, the freedom it has given me is priceless.

Do you really need to smoke weed before a 6 hour 9:30 am flight? The smell is disgusting and we’re stuck with this air

What does the SMB / ETA / search fund community think of this? If you engage us on a deal to structure a sale leaseback simultaneous with your acquisition And we get the deal under LOI with a qualified sale leaseback buyer And the sale leaseback buyer is ready to close, but your deal falls apart with seller… Can we ask you to introduce us to the seller to do the sale leaseback themselves with the buyer we have? And pay you a referral fee? Had a few of these already and bummer to not be able to do anything with a fully baked sale leaseback ready to go…

Replying to @LGAairport
@LGAairport you’ve got to be kidding me You shut down the precheck line at 8pm due to staffing, cause unnecessary wait times and disruption AND the hassle of unburying my laptop out of my overstuffed bag (fwp I know) But this is what @TSA is up to? What is this, happy hour?

Thanks for the reply. @TSA if your agents are hanging around watching YouTube videos, can’t you staff them to run PreCheck (which is a paid service), and solve these “operational needs”?
