A Wild Ride So Far

[MrMedia]

Hey guys,
I'm from the Cleveland, Ohio area. I have started and helped start several successful businesses over my lifetime thus far. The most successful one was sold back in 2014 and I was left out in the cold so to speak. I took what money I had, started another business and then became so depressed I could barely function. Then after several years of crippling depression and suicidal thoughts, I became homeless. Lost my business, my family, everything was gone.

I ended up in a homeless shelter for Veterans in Cleveland. Here I sit, today, in this shelter, ready to leave tomorrow. I have been working on my resume and sending it out to different companies for the last couple months. I have a brother I can stay with temporarily although I suspect I won't be there very long. I have some great job offers coming in every day at this point. I thank the VA and some family and friends who have helped me.

So far I have offers to be a Senior SEO Director, Social Media Director, and a Media Buyer. They are all very well paying positions. I think I like the Media Buyer position the best as it's with a start-up company on the East Coast. I am in the final round of interviews and the recruiter for the company says I have it locked up. It looks like it may be mine to lose at this point. This is just a tiny snapshot of the ride I have been on. It's been crazy, I came from nothing, made something of myself, lost it all, literally, and now I am poised to launch myself into a very good position. It's humbling, to say the least. I plan on riding it out. I want to see where this takes me and what opportunities come my way. That brass ring is there, I think I'm gonna grab it.

Thanks for listening, I wish everyone the best and look forward to interacting, learning, and sharing with you.
