So after the success of my launch, something REALLY funny happened.
Not in a “haha” funny way, but like a deeply ironic sort of way...
I had heard from a lot of friends that doing mushrooms often led to people getting epiphanies and answers to some of their deepest questions.
I did some research and I determined that it was something that I wanted to try.
So on a Saturday morning in San Francisco. I took mushrooms.
I went in looking specifically for a business epiphany.
BUT…. The epiphany I got… was that I was feeling lonely.
At this point, I was with my ex-girlfriend but I was feeling emotionally distant from her. We both loved each other but we didn’t feel loved by each other.
It got so bad that we had to go to couples therapy and almost broke up.
But I was determined to find a solution...
● I did research and started reading a book called "The Five Love Languages" to better understand relationships.
● I read a book called “The Untethered Soul” to manage my emotions better and understand myself.
● I read another book called “Reboot” which allowed me to address my past baggage and not let me affect me in subconscious ways.
And believe it or not, after employing the teachings of these books, my girlfriend I not only mended our relationship, we became stronger than ever.
And although she and I are no longer together because our careers took us different places, I’m very thankful for the experience in dating her because I learned to grow from it.
And because I emotionally grew, that made me a much better at running my businesses because I was much more in touch with my emotions and how to handle it.
So in a really roundabout way, that Mushroom trip actually DID help me with my business!
And that brings me to my final lesson I learned in this story:
