Of course I know how to roll a joint.
You should never accept what can be offered to you if you feel it can be improved.
There is no single recipe for success. But there is one essential ingredient: Passion.
Once you realize that you have identified a passion, invest in yourself. Figure out what you need to know, what kind of experience and expertise you need to develop to do the things that you feel in your heart you will enjoy and that will sustain you both mentally and economically.

All the things I love is what my business is all about.
I record my radio show, and my staff makes me a nice lunch in the kitchen, usually fish – whatever’s freshest and line-caught – and a salad. I drink water and herbal tea, a blend of catnip, elderberry, and horehound.
