Down to My Last 4 Strips of Bacon – What I Learned When I Didn't Quit
from Life on Purpose with the Texas Yeti
In November 2019 I was living in the back of my truck in Idaho. Snow on the ground, ice in the Salmon River, and only four strips of bacon and three eggs until payday. I was 64 years old. Former tech exec... former President of Intel Board of Advisors... and homeless (by choice). And I was exactly where I was supposed to be. This is a story about what success actually looks like before it arrives — the truck bed, the book selling summer, COVID walking in the door, the choice between quitting and persisting, and what's sitting in the refrigerator now. If you've ever given your best and come up short — this one's for you.
