#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 - 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.) Now that I know I'm autistic, I'm really good at following rules ... as long as they make sense.
My new business partners from the West Texas Investor's Club (Rooster McConaughey, Butch Gilliam, Gil Prather) and I hit it off so well that they even wished my mother a happy birthday.
I kinda followed in the family profession being
the "Abstinence Girl" for Snorg Tees for over 13 years.
The market rate for a "sponsored trending tweet" (at the time) was $250K.
This happened for free.

Game shows are my thing ... even if sometimes "they're just not that into me."
Like the time I was "slut shamed" while at a press event because the person behind this wanted to sleep with me and I didn't know it.

I spend my free time volunteering ... doing really important stuff like talking about myself on podcasts.
Thanks for visiting my little portion of the interwebz.
It's been sure fun having you here.
