I was stuck in the slowlane, even though I had my pedal to the metal.

I pushed myself into College before finishing high school (at 17), then I became a standup comedian at 18, a Disney animator at 21, award-winning filmmaker at 25, and by 30 I was depressed, broke, and broken.

My problems stemmed from deep emotional wounds which I had neglected and thus prevented from healing properly.

I am 38 now, and I spent nearly a decade sorting through my emotional baggage. I’ve come an amazingly long way, and I am EXCITED at continuing on this journey of self discovery and self improvement.

Admittedly, my wife and I are in a difficult situation at the moment. I would love to get feedback from those with experience.

I don’t always know the right path, but I am willing to take decisive action continuously in the pursuit of my goals.

It’s an honor to be in this group! I’m almost done reading The Millionaire Fastlane !
