Major Inflection Points in My Life

1. Getting married
(because without that chapter, the best parts of my life story would be unwritten)

2. Becoming a dad

3. Getting divorced

4. Quitting my job to start a business
(when logic said “no,” but my gut told me I could learn to build the parachute on the way down).

5. Taking dance classes
(to make sure I was truly out of my comfort zone).

6. Becoming a grandfather
(the only promotion I got without an interview).

7. Getting engaged
(I’m clearly a fan of sequels).
