Weird how time works, right? I remember when you told me you were gonna do this and thought you were crazy but also knew you well enough to not try and talk you out of it because I'd only manage to slow you down, which could've been fatal. Could not believe what you did with that place!
Great piece; I read the thing all the way through thinking I'd come back in a few after our trip out to finish.
I felt that bar, you know? I did the same thing with bootstrapping businesses in the late 90s and on into the 2010s. Some did better than others, and one is still here today (and more have since cropped up). It was a scrap! People who haven't done this really won't understand what it was like.... and how amazing it felt once it finally caught fire and became something bigger than me.
Glad I grabbed your attention. Small biz ownership is lunacy and addicting. Someday I might try again but def not a bar. It is impressive that you've done it multiple dones!
I can't believe I never knew you owned a bar!
You've led a checkered past🤩
Wow, that's some house you took down.
And also, STAIN rules(d)!
viva la Stain! Hard to believe it existed at this point!

Probably wouldn’t have slowed me down either, but I appreciate it!
Well you never want to get in anyone's way when they're already committed.
Loved this! So inspired by the way you’re just doing the dang thing one day at a time!
Thank you! always learning!
Enjoyed this a lot. Failing really is the path to succeeding.
Thank you! It really is.

Feel free to reach out to me if you get the bug so I can try to talk you out of it!
Very true, I think I’m verging on too tired to ever dare it again
Beautifully written. I love your tenacity.
THANK YOU, I feel nuts, and proud ;)
