🚌 Ready for a enjoyable undeniable fact that took me means too lengthy to share?
For 4 years, Jim and I lived full-time in a DIY college bus.

You wish to understand how human you might be?

Shove your canine, your cat, and your husband in 225 S.F. and name it dwelling full-time for 4 years (whereas dwelling at 7,000 ft above sea stage, the place it is under freezing for 3/4 of the 12 months. 🫠 )

And I by no means advised anybody.

🤷♀️ Not a single submit, caption, or informal point out.

When your work entails conversations with excessive earners and six-figure executives, it could really feel just a little exposing to confess that you reside in a car.

It did not really feel fairly sufficient or skilled sufficient.
It did not match the picture I assumed I wanted to undertaking.
It made me really feel like I’d be judged.

🫥 So I simply… did not point out it.

Until we moved out, purchased a (actual) home, and discovered it was clearly one of the vital attention-grabbing issues about me.

Let’s hear it for life-long enjoyable reality!

Seriously, we’ll be 80 years outdated and nonetheless be “the bus people” at a marriage. 😆

Which is precisely the purpose.

That story that makes somebody at a networking occasion say, “Wait, seriously? Tell me everything.”

🔥 That excellent, polished model of yours isn’t probably the most memorable one.

As Robin Roberts as soon as stated, make your mess your message, particularly proper now in a world that is drowning in completely curated, AI-generated sameness.

Being genuinely, particularly, sometimes-embarrassingly human is the rarest factor we’ve got to supply proper now, and it will make individuals join with you want you may by no means think about.

✅ Share the bus. Whatever your bus is.

What have you ever been hiding as a result of it did not really feel skilled sufficient?
