Episode 1678:

Quotes to ponder:

"I’ve never been interested in being famous, but I am very interested in being free."

"I realized I could pay my bills doing something that wasn’t what I most wanted to do, or I could take a risk and do what I loved, and maybe still pay the bills."

"Consulting became my go-to method of paying the bills while maintaining maximum autonomy."
