#FreelanceFailureBall: Let’s celebrate our failures
I’m about to take the stage at the Freelance Failure Ball in Denver, Colorado.
I spent a year preparing my TedX talk only to throw it out the night before. (I was speaking from my ego and couldn't allow that as it's noted in the TedX rules.)
BEHOLD!!
Britney Spears gave us a shout out on her social media.
I wasn't involved in the original script for my life story, but it did sell in a four way bidding war between ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX.
Rooster McConaughey, Butch Gilliam, Gil Prather and I hit it off so well that they even wished my mother a happy birthday.
I too followed in the family profession being the "Abstinence Girl" for Snorg Tees for 13 years.
ANYWHO ... I was the first exit in the West Texas Investors Club portfolio, and was brought back for an update on season two.
Oh! Forgot this press too ...
This was a very unexpected "Domain Authority" play.
I was also the number one influencer (with a small but very mighty twitter following) that got the hashtag #Tech4Obama to trend organically in Los Angeles. The market rate for a "sponsored trending tweet" (at the time) was $250K. This happened for free.
My furrever soulmate doggo Buster Brown got top billing in an article in Forbes.
Game shows are my thing ... even if sometimes "they're just not that into me."
1. I’m a Hoar not a slut.
2. The person who “ordered” this wanted to sleep with me. I didn’t know that (at the time) I’m autistic and missed the cues.

I spend my free time volunteering ... doing really important stuff like talking about myself on podcasts.
I answer my own emails (now) so if you'd like to be offended as equally as everyone else ... drop me a note:

Thanks for visiting my little portion of the interwebz.
It's been sure fun having you here.
