In Late 2022, I quit my W2 job to pursue a business idea. Long story short, I failed. In January this year I realized that I was running out of money. I shut down and handed off the businesses and went back to a W2 job. (I have a wife and 5 young kids).

I'm not done with fastlane, and I learned a LOT through failure. I'll post on here my progress as I eventually venture back out into entrepreneurship.
