I'm not particularly interested in getting long-term life advice from a childless 22 year old. Especially when some of his advice is egregiously unhealthy, both physically and mentally:
> During my first year working on Step Up Social, I averaged 3½ hours of sleep a night and had about 12½ hours every day to focus on business. The physical and mental toll was brutal: I gained 80 pounds, lived on Red Bull and struggled with anxiety.
> Will this relationship survive if I skip this event? And if not, is this someone I really need in my life? The isolation was painful, and some friendships didn’t survive.
> Every commitment had to justify its place on my calendar, with social events, casual hangouts and even family gatherings weighed against business priorities. I constantly felt guilty about missing important moments with loved ones
