    I almost f**ked up my life by quitting my day job for my startup

    @fellascarpet I think I can as long as I play to my strengths. Blem just wasn't something that was really in my wheelhouse.

    @moelilian Hi box1820. I'm sorry you didn't really like the post. It was a true recounting of my journey from one of my first startup endeavors. It was for a startup called Blem. (Blem.co) I'll shoot you our pitch deck if you would like further proof. I'm linking because I do want traffic to...

    @simeon93 I linked because I 100% admit that I'd like people to check out the rest of the post and Nugget. This however, is not a fake story.
