“Billy Madison” taught us to make the best of your second chances. Call the friend or family member you lost connection with. With the knowledge you have now, give that business venture a try. You’re never too old to complete the goals you had when you were younger.
Today was fun. The exercises weren’t, but the conversation was. Great energy today. I hope this was the hardest and stupidest thing you do today. If not, there’s always tomorrow. Thanks for the opportunity, Slow Jams.
