No, I'm not racking in the millions yet, but something happened to me the other day that made me really think about how far I've come.

Most of you supply the needs physical or digital products, for me ... I supply entertainment via Youtube.

I've hit 40,000 followers and as I was out eating breakfast with my family and an entire family recognized me.

I took a picture with the kids and was treated like a F*cking celebrity! LOL

Now, this blew my mind because I could not comprehend someone viewing me as anyone other than an average joe, but the moral is - a year ago this would have seemed like a pipe dream. It's all coming together.

Shit's gonna get hard and suck from time to time, you're gonna get depressed, you're gonna get enemies and be hated by some.... but the payoff was worth it.

Also, this entire time my dad has sort of doubted my efforts, not in a non-supportive way, but as a skeptic.

When this happened his jaw dropped and hasn't stopped talking about it.
