man loses everything, finds kitesurfing, loses Prime membership
“I ran a messenger business for years. We sent and received death threats. The worst was probably the time a customer purchased a rush delivery, and I was called a terrorist on the news. That was probably my worst day. I had been up all night remodeling houses, and I was watching my employees come in the morning and they were dead. I almost went crazy. Then I opened my computer and the website was down. I thought: ‘One in five businesses fail. I’m done. This is my chance to do more kitesurfing.’ I thought it was a blessing in disguise but it was really just poverty. I even lost my Amazon Prime.”
