My Badass Friends
I am very fortunate. I have amazing friends. ”My Badass Friends” is the place where I help my friends tell their stories. Not long ago, I started asking myself, ”How cool would it be to spend more time with my friends. What if I could give them a forum to tell their life story, and then have it live on forever?” The wins. The losses. The learnings. Their dreams. What makes them great? What drives them to be such phenomenal people. I want them to tell their whole story. I want to have it memorialized. I want their kids, their grandkids, and all of their friends to be able to hear their story in a way that doesn’t currently exist. I want them to hear what has gone into making these people so amazing. I may be a bit biased, but these are people that have had incredible personal and professional successes. Because they are not famous, odds are you will never hear their stories. I’m here to change that! ”You are the sum of the people you surround yourself with.” I love that quote, and if it were the bar for success in life, I would be as successful as anyone. My friends are amazing, so please enjoy getting to know ”My Badass Friends”.
