I was painfully shy.
Obviously, I had problems making friends.
You know, I couldn't really get work that I wanted.
I mean, life was not working for me.
I'd been like kind of screwing up for many years, trying to figure myself out.
I really hadn't had any successes.
But I started to have this...
what I thought at the time was this bizarre sixth sense.
And I remember even telling my mother at one point, I think I'm going to be talking to thousands of people one day.
This is even before the internet, right?
Like, how is that going to happen?
Like, you never know the how to.
You can't get stopped by the how to.
So I didn't know how to create something like that.
I wasn't even sure I wanted something like that.
That was just my sense.
Like, that's the future that's calling me.
We have to tune into that.
And instead of dismissing it, I took it seriously.
And the only thing I could think to do was to start articulating, you know, who I was in that future.
