From bed-wetting and nail-biting to doing all that you've done – 6 figures $1 at a time, stuffed into a hat. Man, you've come a long way.
I am – and will remain – VERY interested in Proof of Authority. Now just isn't the time. I'm not waiting for the "perfect" time (which will never exist), but once things settle down in other areas, I'll be all over this.
You inspiring lots of people is not only inevitable Larry, it's already happening. I know you'll find the timing that's right for you for the next step.
Amazing life. In a few years, youth will read of such a life and hardly be able to believe that such freedom existed... six figures from donations in a hat.... I remember that hat so full of paper money it was blowing down the boardwalk. It's an honour to have known you in those days ... and always.
Thanks for the eye witness testimony that this really happened PJ. And your friendship in that time. Feels like a dream to me sometimes. Along with the benefits of aging is the pain of not being able to share the good ole days with those who come after.
“The key to your professional success is to arm your customers, colleagues, and peers with good stories to repeat about your actions, values, and character.” this, yes, but also situational distance to those who might buy you - which really nails how your flywheel succeeds, by being nested in the belly of the corporate beast (gifted by the public stage before this second career) you ensure a tangential handshake to further successes (a requirement of anyone who pays anyone is that they are paid well enough already)…pretty brilliant business model, and reflective of how so many create cascading careers by just starting one…the whole world is a stage, sure, but the easier sell is when you know what specific stage you stand upon (that said the public stage is what brought you the current arena)…would you ever street perform again, and/or what would be the conditions to compel you to do so?…
thank you CansaFis, an astute breakdown of some of the psychological underpinnings of career value and offers. My son learned to juggle about 5 years ago and he was interested in street performing, so we did a duo show together for a year in front of the courthouse town square on sunny weekends when the tourists were in flow. It was a blast, and an incredible thing to share with my kid. So yes, something I can see returning to over and over now and again. Though sadly the vibe of a street show crowd has undergone a dramatic shift in the last 30 years with the introduction of our devices. People don't carry cash as much, and also, half the crowd is watching through their phone screen while recording instead of just enjoying the real thing in front of them directly. Weird.
yes, there is certainly that kind of question in the air, but are we just now part of the older crowd, filtering the world through . . . back in my day . . .or, are even the younger generations asking, what are we becoming?
…just met three teens podcasting their hike, in some ways super cool and they were also super nice, but in other ways hey dudes, hiking is also super cool and existence is also super nice…i’m starting to believe more and more that technology doesn’t make us better, it just makes us different…

…this makes me very sad…what are we becoming as a species?…

yes, I've had that same feeling. we're not actually renovating anything structural, we're just rearranging the furniture
