My people, welcome to Rantom Randomness.

I'm Luffy and this is my show where I usually bring you something I'm ranting about,

As of this recording, we're still practicing social distancing all over the world

this intro from my office and the amazing team at Chicago Recording Company is still helping

So like I said, this episode is a little bit different.

You might have been listening to this podcast for a while, but I wonder if you know how all

How did I build a platform and a business that is multifaceted?

How did I become a writer, speaker, and this professional troublemaker?

How did I build this brand?

Some of you have followed me for years, but a lot of you may not know that I've been writing

I consider myself a 17 year overnight success.
