“One 15 Minute meeting with Chris made me millions”
Gary Vaynerchuk
Let’s Meet.

Out of the night
that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be for my unconquerable
soul.
Projects I’m Working On
In the fell
clutch of circumstance

unbowed.

Beyond this place
of wrath and tears
looms but the horror of the shade, and yet the menace of the years finds and shall find me
unafraid
It matters not how straight the gate
how charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my
soul.
