Two stories if you allow me.. a good friend from Kenya (if ever a guy could say poor me, but doesn't, works his ass off instead) put me up in Napa and I told him your story when your friend called you on your victim stuff, what's the common denominator in all these fuck-ups??
And Bobby Orr, my hero growing up, saw him on a show when he was promoting his auto.. and the host brought up his ex-agent and Orr said, I didn't even want to mention him, but my publisher said, we can't just ignore this, and Orr said in the interview, shame on me for trusting him so much, shame on him for ripping me off so much.. 3 lessons.. don't be bitter, learn from your mistakes and move on..

David, Bobby Orr was my sports hero growing up, as well, and he remains a personal hero to me to this day. A man of immensely high character on so many levels. Had the opportunity to meet him once in person and he was truly the nicest, most humble person imaginable. And this was reaffirmed by anyone I've ever met who knew and/or met him. And, of course, he used that horrible agent situation to eventually help a lot of people! Which doesn't surprise me a bit.
Yes Bob, he runs a sports agency out of Boston and he warns players even if they don't sign with him, it's your money, don't get ripped off like me, hire an agent, a manager and an accountant and cross reference them..
I like that you repeatedly share the principal life lessons and universal truths Randy, for people that follow your work. I've never been mentored to CONSCIOUSLY and mindfully discern the contrast & practicle application of victorhood vs victimhood before.
It's become part of my critical thinking process too now. ~ 6 decades on the planet and I'm consciously now realizing how significant this one teaching IS.. it's helped shape the decision making processes & philosophy I live by... wow!
