He was fired from TV News back in 2013 (very unexpectedly). He claimed it was the best thing that’s ever happened to him. He thanked those who helped him make the decision. For more than a year he was able to live life at my speed, build my company and re-evaluate what is truly important. He got married to his best friend and sweet Canuck Tara Manis.
Things may get by me, but they most likely won’t get by her. My cooking got better. Our apartment has never been so clean. I launched the second start-up of my life…and shut it down like the first one. And yes, I lost money. But I took away things about the start-up culture that an MBA would have trouble teaching.
