HUMOR
I Lost $120k Trying To Start A Podcast
It was the biggest mistake of my life…
When I was a kid, my mother looked me in the eye and said I would be famous someday.
“Millions of people are going to know your name. It’s just a matter of time!”
I recently spent $120,000 building a podcast because I desperately wanted my mother’s prediction to come true. But sadly, my journey to fame, success, and unlimited wealth didn’t go as planned.
Here’s what happened:
I Spent My Life Savings On A Fancy Podcast Studio
Many people believe in the strategy of “faking it until you make it.” But as you can already tell, I’m not like other people because I refuse to be a member of the mediocre majority.
I always felt like I was destined to “make it.” I also wanted to impress Mark Zuckerberg because he’s my idol. So, despite my mother saying that I could use her basement as a podcast studio (for free), I said no because I didn’t want to invite famous people into her basement. That would be creepy.
A few hours after refusing the offer from my mother, I picked up the phone, pulled out my credit card, and spent my life savings on a beautiful podcast studio in Los Angeles.
