And right about that time, my face hit the grass in the media, and I had road burn all over my head. I bounced, flipped end over end several times, I ended up breaking my pelvis in three places, which if you're not familiar with pelvic fractures, it's extremely dangerous. All your organs sit in your pelvis.

My left leg, the one that I'd screwed up in the army and in football, was completely demolished. Half of my tibia is now bone filler. They had to reconstruct the tibial plateau. Plate's in there. That's a few other broken bones. That was it for me. I got sober that day. And it would have stayed it if I had just done. This is 2007.

If I had done in 2007 what they've been telling me to do since 1997, which is go to fucking meetings. Like, you're not special. This is a problem lots of people have. You go to these meetings, they make you better. If I'd have been willing to do that, I'd have stayed sober for me. It's your Sunday, 2007, and me and you wouldn't be sitting here right now. Um, I, uh, I decided to leave Pfizer.

I was going to do everything other than go to meetings, though. I was not going to drink. I even quit cigarettes. I quit every mental health medication they had me on. I was drunk when I wrecked the car. I was also on Klonopin, which was prescribed to me. I was also on Xanax, which was prescribed to me. Why I'm on both of those at the same time is beyond me.

I'm on, like, 100 milligrams of Adderall a day. Like, I'm on all the dope. State Trooper saw how fucked up I was and was like, pretty sure you're taking some stuff you're not supposed to, but I'm not charging you, you know? And I was like, that's it. God just winked at me. I'm taking it. I'm taking it and I'm fixing my life. So I quit smoking cigarettes. I quit all the meds. And I got sober.

I decided to leave Pfizer because the drinking culture was too bad. And as good as I was doing there, I should be making a lot more money. And so I started looking into getting a job in medical device sales. And that ended up being exactly what I did. I got a job selling medical devices. I interviewed for several. One was in women's health space.

One was in trauma selling the exact plate that was in my leg. And then cardiac is where I found my passion. So not a cardiovascular surgeon, but I'm getting to sell cardiac devices in the cath lab to cardiologists and electrophysiologists. I'm getting to nerd out on all this cool stuff. And I was making money hand over fist. I think I made like 230 that year at 25, 26 years old.
