My overarching goal is increased wisdom. Everytime I do something big, I come out of it feeling, "geez, how come I didn't know that? What a clueless idiot I am." I have lots of experiences in lots of things, however there's a rarified level of experience that only fame can achieve; I think, I don't know? That's why I'm doing it. Probably fail anyway.
p.s. My LinkedIn and FB homepage got multiple hits this week. Seems like the queries to Joe Rogan and Tim Ferriss sparked some interest. Probably nothing more will happen given that I never heard back, but there was a cause-and-effect there that maybe we can use in the future? How would we know if I hadn't been on a "Make Martin Famous" campaign?

After being in the shit of a life so long, I got lucky and landed a job I had no right in landing originally. Having kids nearly ½ my age compete against me, is tough enough.
Just landing that one in a million chance of getting a job was just being in the right place in the right time.
I’ve read dozens of book how to succeed, and how people succeeded.
There are two things they have which most people don’t, a chance and a mentor.
To get one you are lucky, to get both, you hit the bloody lottery.
