My name is Alex Fasulo
I must admit something embarrassing...
I once was at my corporate day job and overheard co-workers saying nasty things about me.
Maybe they were intimidated, I don't know.
They were making fun of how I acted, my clothes, how I looked, and MY IDEAS.
I was crushed!
I mean, you can talk trash all day about what I wear
But to make fun of my IDEAS, no way.
Maybe my ideas weren't good,
Maybe I was meant to just work a day job and never excel at anything
I once thought that the world was a really different place.
I thought that all I needed to be successful was to go to school, learn a trade, and then...
VOILA, opportunities would open up and I would have my dream career.
After moving to the big city (New York), I quickly realized that what I actually wanted wasn't at any company.
New York used to be a place of opportunity but now it felt more like the land of the living dead.
Dead dreams
Dead end jobs
Dead...
Well, I just felt dead inside
I felt like none of my ideas were being considered
Like no one knew what I had inside and what I was capable of.
I grew up on a farm so I knew how to work hard
But now working hard wasn't enough
I needed to completely reinvent myself,
I craved FREEDOM.
So that day I decided to quit my job and to change EVERYTHING.
I didn't even go in to work to pick up my headphones or other things.
They could have them, that's how bad I disliked that place.
