Well, I guess we could begin at rock bottom.

That's a great place to start any story, right?

As a kid, I barely graduated high school.

My teachers literally got together with me and said, we think we're going to push you out.

I went on to college.

I flunked out of college.

And at that same time, I was diagnosed with such an extreme fear of failure.

My psychologist said it would be easier for you to grab a red hot stove and hang on and maim yourself than to actually try.

Powerful, crazy diagnosis, but it felt right.

Every time I tried to do my homework, I'd end up in tears.

I just couldn't apply myself.

And that put me in a pretty dark place because my fear of failure had me flunking out of college, had me actually failing.

It was manifesting my worst fear.

And I ended up waiting tables at a Howard Johnson's on the side of the highway, not my dream job.

And I wasn't even a very good waiter.

But this amazing tour bus rolls in with a space shuttle painted on the side of it.

And I'm like, I want to wait on them.

I honestly thought they worked for NASA.

Like, why the space shuttle?

I didn't know what a tour bus was.
