“It was an insane venture.

And then, while I was working away at figuring out how to make it happen,
I watched Inventing Anna,
and at the end of the whole series of episodes,
this accomplished con artist
was asked what most surprised her about people...
She said she was surprised that people couldn't live with
a higher level of anxiety.
She believed that that was what brought her down.

And at that moment I knew that that was what I needed to get through
this whole venture:
to be able to live with that level of anxiety.

And I could. And I did.”
