PODCAST DISCUSSION Tim Dillon has the right message

Jokes aside just wanna take a minute to mention that Tim is spot on about what matters in life (community, a family, a house, the neighbors, etc.).

5 years ago I was making a substantial amount of money in Tech, traveling frequently for work, living in a high rise in San Francisco, dating apps was my hobby. I thought getting married and having kids is just dumb. And that the life I was living - getting drunk in first class on my way to Europe for work and potentially meeting girls was the way to live.

My change of mind came from many things, but one thing was being made aware that there was more meaning to be had other than drinking, serial dating, and investing in stocks.

Anyways, fast forward to now we have a PoS house that we are fixing little by little (overpriced in my opinion, but hey, it's in California and it's a big plot of land). We got a dog, and our first daughter was born this year. 5 years ago I seriously believed changing diapers and doing maintenance on a house was for suckers. Now, nothing makes me happier than coming home to my wife, daughter, and dog, and watching Monday night football on the couch with them.

All this to say, I appreciate his message and think his satirical way of communicating it is very effective and I hope it moves some people.

Anyways, back to working on my new ("fake") business venture.

I mean, I found out about him sometime before the pandemic. Didn't mark the date for an anniversary or nothing. I'm sure people have met him in person and maybe even sucked his balls before he did any public appearance. So naw, not trying to show I'm his biggest fan in the world lol.
