It was kind of an accident. See, I graduated from college in the last crisis we had, which was the financial crisis in 2008. And there was like zero job market. And I kind of bounced around a few odd jobs. I lived on a friend's couch for a while. And I started doing freelance web design. And around the same time, I read Tim Ferriss' 4-Hour Workweek article.
