summary
Built an online training system that saves an airline and trades back‑breaking labor for coding, claims luck changes through practiced habits and mindset shifts, and tests that by starting a weekly meetup that averages one person a week but yields about 50 people a year — hundreds over time. Reports failing at making YouTube content until stopping, breaking a foot leads to real wheelchair empathy, recommends Parable of the Sower and The Artist’s Way as practical fuels for persistence.
