To those who think "saved my life" was overly dramatic, try to remember that you were reading a sales flier, not a deep introspective blog post. The fact that it came across very much as such a blog post (because it partly was) is part of the brilliance, but also means that you might take the life saving part a little more literally than the "the best cola ever" advertising vibe that it maybe should have had.

That was a top shelf ad/promotion/infomercial Amy. Hats off.




Thank you.

I still feel like my life was saved. :)

If you'd met me before, you would have seen what I meant. I was utterly miserable, in the way that you can only be when you are trapped by your own great success and therefore don't even think escape is a rational option. Plus I always believed I was too much of a lazy asshole to ever be able to work for myself, really.

Making my own thing was absolutely a life-saving event for me.
