Other Quotes From the Chat with Kyle Weckerly:
- “I resolved to try. I realise that I’m not getting any younger. Even if I fail at least I can say that I tried. And you know as they say you never fail until you give. And so, I was like okay I am at least going to try and if I feel that it is not worth it then I will stop and find some other work some other way”
- “something I did before I started was, I decided where do I want to be? I knew where I didn’t want to be and that was where I was, not really in a job I enjoyed, not making a lot of money to support my family, my wife was pretty much the sole breadwinner. It’s like where do I want to be and then deciding I am going to get there or I am going to die trying”
