Man that is a really great essay! I had honestly forgotten that positivism and inspiring life advice used to be a thing. Today you performed a small miracle, Francis…you actually caused me to miss the nineties! Make Accomplishment Great Again!!!!

I hope some of the young people you taught will take note of your career & understand that nothing is given but hard work & disappointment can eventually pay off. Just before my father died he told me that he was colour blind. This now explained the book I found with tracing paper in between the leaves where numbers had been traced. He once explained that he saw in shades it meant nothing to me at the time - until you realise that as a commercial pilot he would’ve been instantly dismissed. I’m really pleased that you’ve at last realised your dream whilst having built a successful side business along the way - the importance of dreams can never be under estimated

Congrats! Keep all that positive momentum going.

As for Goodfellas, I have always admired the one-shot scene with them walking into The Copacabana. Great song, too.

Hmm... So appearing on Joe Rogan more than once gave you some face and name recognition worldwide Francisco. 😉

Who'd 'a thunk it!

The road through the twists and turns of your particular winding road, led to a surprising way to achieving your dream.

Keep it up old chap, who knows what's round the next corner.

Enjoying your stuff x
