Well written. It’s cool to see what you were thinking and going through during that chaotic time. It’s funny how I followed you around when this started. I never saw « regular ry » it was chaos from the start and I was intrigued. One thing stood out - you were entertaining. Like, I had no idea what you were going to do next. It was a fun time. I think it’s brave (& maybe a bit crazy) that you kept going even after hearing that someone stopped working with you because of it. I would have crawled into a hole at the time and spiralled probably 🤣 but if you’d have done that, it would have made you a coward, so maybe this « I don’t care what people will think and I will ask for what I want and you will give it to me » is exactly the energy I needed to witness at the time. Impeccable performance 👏 & thanks for never blocking me 😉
Hi Dani, this means a lot—thank you for sharing it. It’s funny because, from the very beginning, I knew entertainment was going to be a big part of it. Once I started, I leaned into that hard—making it unpredictable and a little unhinged on purpose, because I wanted people to keep watching, even if they didn’t totally understand what I was doing. It was part chaos, part experiment, and definitely part performance.
That whole “brave” thing is interesting, though, because I don’t know if it felt brave at the time—it felt more like momentum. Like, “Well, I’ve started this, so I better keep going.” Losing clients definitely sucked, and there were moments where I was spiraling a bit. But you’re right: I think what kept me going was this stubborn belief that it would all be worth it because it was going to be a great story someday.
And yeah, maybe part of what I was asking for wasn’t just $5—it was attention, or validation, or maybe just the freedom to see what would happen if I pushed it as far as it could go. I love that you saw it as a kind of energy you needed to witness—it’s cool to think that the chaos might’ve resonated with people in ways I never even imagined.
Thanks for sticking around—and for never giving me a reason to block you. 😉
I don't see how this isn't a viable business model. You responded to the energy the Universe was requiring in that moment and you made money. Sure, Season 2 might require a different energy, but that's how seasons work.
Hey dude. You right. I wouldn't really say that I "made money," though. Especially considering how much for-sure work I lost. Like, a lot. But I do take your point re: season 2. That's a good way to look at it. There is probably a way to get it done, I'm just not sure I'm the guy anymore. Maybe if someone else could manage it for me... but then in that case, it feels weird and disingenuous. Thanks for reading and contributing man.

Okay, but if I may argue the point... people make their own choices. You didn't fire those clients. They left of their own free will.
You are not wrong. Perhaps Season 2 would be better if my eggs were in lots of baskets again.
