We rarely hear of the hard times before an entrepreneur/ company hits it big. It's all smiles at that point. Andy's blog series is a real gem.

Gut-wrenching honesty. SV needs more of this.

The heavier the shame you carry on your back the longer it takes to get back from exile. And when finally you come back home you chuckle and laugh, wondering what took you so long. One of the bigger lessons I've learned accepted with maturity and age.

A lot of truth in that. Writing about it and getting it out of my head was a huge help in the process of moving on.
