I'VE NEVER THOUGHT OF OR HAVE HAD ANY DESIRE TO START THIS PROJECT. INTROVERTED AT HEART AND EXTROVERTED BY FAKING IT, I'VE CREATED INSURMOUNTABLE VALUE FOR EVERY EMPLOYOR IN MY CAREER. ALWAYS PUTTING MY BEST FOOT FORWARD, I'VE LEARNED THE HARD WAY OVER AND OVER AGAIN THAT IT ISN'T ABOUT YOUR EFFORTS, ATTITUDE, LOYALTY, POLITICS, OR ANYTHING ELSE TAUGHT IN SCHOOL. NONE OF IT MATTERS. IT IS ALL BULLSHIT. IF YOU DON'T HAVE CONTROL OF YOUR DESTINY, IF THE NAME ON THE BUILDING  OF THE COMPANY YOU WORK AT ISN'T YOUR OWN, THEN YOU WILL FOREVER BE AT THE MERCY OF OUTSIDE SOURCES TRYING TO EXTRACT THE MOST OUT VALUE OUT OF YOU WHILE ALWAYS MAKING SURE YOUR TOTAL COMP FITS WITHIN THEIR BUDGET. I'VE SPENT MY CAREER CLOSING MULTIMILLION DOLLAR BUSINESS ONLY TO HAVE TO FIGHT TO GET ON THE SAME PAYSCALE AS MY OLDER PEERS, GETTING MY COMMISSION CAPPED, HAVING PAY STRUCTURE REALIGNED, AND EVEN GETTING TERMINATED ALL BECAUSE I WAS SCREAMING ABOUT JUSTIFIED PAY EQUALITY WHILE CALLING OUT THE THE INABILITY OF THE LEADERSHIP TEAM THAT WAS WORKING AGAINST ME THE ENTIRE TIME. 

​

BEING TERMINATED HAS LED TO GOING ON PUBLIC HEALTHCARE, UNEMPLOYMENT CHECKS, NO INSURANCE, BORROWING MONEY FROM FRIENDS AND FAMILY, AND HAVING TO ULTIMATELY DECLARE BANKRUPTCY CREATING A WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF STRESS AND ANXIETY FOR MY FAMILY. 

​

I WILL SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE USING ANY MEDIUM I CAN AS A PLATFORM TO TELL MY STORY, A STORY THAT IS EVER-EVOLVING AND FAR FROM OVER. BUT I AM NOT ALONE. MY STORY IS EXTREME, BUT THERE IS NO PLAYBOOK ON HOW TO DEAL WITH CORPORATE AMERICA WHEN IT HAS FUCKED YOU. 

 

EVERYONE IS HUNGRY, AND MONEY ISN'T THE FOOD FOR EVERYONE. WHETHER IT BE MONEY, LOVE, SUCCESS, ACCEPTANCE, WHATEVER THE CASE, LET'S TALK. HELP ME HELP YOU. I'M NO EXPERT, BUT IF YOU FEEL LIKE TIMES ARE TOUGH, AND SEEKING ANSWERS, SO AM I, SO LET'S BRAINSTORM ON HOW TO NAVIGATE THIS MADDENING SOCIETY WE LIVE IN AND TRY TO WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE THINGS BETTER FOR EVERYONE.
