i love the people in st. louis
they give you their hearts and their love
and they give me free stuff in restaurants.

Joyce Meyer Seminar. women of all ages (mostly older)
praising jesus and smiling real big
joyce is a far right wing
christian conservative.
principles she teaches seem great
but i was asked to accept jesus in my life
at least 15 times today.
i’m still not sure what to say
other than “thank you very much for the thought.”
i bet jesus didn’t push people to accept him
in the way that his followers do 2,000 years later.
first event was reckless
we had to rush to pull people into the event
as they were passing by.
it was hot, it was in a place in St. Louis where no one was
we are very constricted by permits
and laws
and make believe red tape and bureacracy
by our “Lawyers.”
i’m going to start breaking some rules
beginning tomorrow. can’t be held back, no not me
i’m seeking to change it immediately
because it’s costing us money and precious time
and potential fans
on the road.
the event, without any spin, was a flop
TV race is a great idea
but we couldn’t get the word out
no one showed up on their own.
hard to see something you believe in
crumble before your eyes.
real hard, real humbling.
we convinced 10 people to race
we did two races
5 people each
it was fun
one of the St. Louis U students even quipped
“that was actually really really fun.”
made the day better.
Kevin Bracken and I quickly re-calibrated
for future events.
we figured out
a great system and we will be doing a HUGE event
in every city we go to
rather than trying to do 5 smaller ones
and diversifying.
one event – all about TAKING BACK THE REPUBLIC
a massive CARDBOARD TUBE battle in public spaces
more on this announcement soon, with pictures of course.
i was so exhausted i slept for 4 hours after the event.
it’s emotionally draining
to put yourself out there
they say it’s all great
and it is
living the dream
aspiring
desiring more
living the best life
possible.
building a fan base
locally
never did I expect it to be this exhausting
after day 1
and I have 2 more months to go.
truthfully,
to put yourself
your brand
your being out there
for everyone to see
it’s more vulnerable
than sex for me.
more scary, vulnerable and daunting
than sex.
miss, hit, fail, or slam dunk
it’s for all to see
and it’s very humbling.
today was a miss, never a fail
because we get back up
and we have a team determined to win.
we’re going to Kansas City tomorrow
then the Riverfront in Peoria is being shut down on Tuesday for us.
radio announcements are already blarring.
Chicago is later this week
and that’s when our Plan 2.0 launches.
more on that soon.
and also, not to brag
but our sprinter bus
that we’re traveling in
is so baller!
interior pics of the xbox system,
sound system
leather seats and disco ball to follow
tomorrow.
