Another wonderful story Louie. Right now I am my only employee, but sometimes I quit on myself, and this same principle applies, because another part of me has to step in and get the work done even when the scared, doubtful, hesitant, or fed-up part of me walks off the job.
The other similar principle we all should follow is redundancy. We should be able to do everything ourselves, yet we shouldn’t be the single point of failure. I remembered getting very sick due to covid for two weeks last year, but thankfully my business partner can take over most of the work that I was doing. Otherwise, the business might not run.

Damn.
That's a powerful framing of this Rick. We've all probably had those moments of doubt and wanted to strike or stage a walk out on ourselves.
That's hands down my favorite issue of your newsletter. It's like you have a endless stream of life lessons worth reading about

Amazing story! Also good lesson on how the best have no ego
Phenomenal story.
Thanks Matt! And thanks for reading it.
This is a good life lesson too: never get squeezed on consequential matters.
For sure.
The Bronx was full of good life lessons.
Thanks for reading it Daniel.
Great story Louie! We have to be always ready to roll our sleeves...
