Had totally forgotten about that one, what a nostalgia trip. Now 20 years older (and wiser?), I can say it is shock-full of good advice.

There’s something endearing about someone famous saying that their talent isn’t fit for what people want them to do, and still, somehow, nail it anyway.

The words "do something every day that scares you" had a tremendous impact on my life.

After a bad breakup, I decided that those were important words and that I needed to make an effort to get out of my comfort zone. So I wrote down a long list of things that scared me, all from eating weird foods, talking to strangers to traveling to new places and starting companies, and I started deliberately doing them.

That became the start of a 7 year digital nomad adventure with several experiences that I feel could be movies. It came at a cost as well, but nothing that I regret.
