I was going to have someone else write this, but I thought that would be the third dumbest thing I’ve ever done.

I’m not sure what the two dumbest things I’ve ever done are, but I do know that having someone else write a blurb about me surely couldn’t be at the tip top of the list. Now that I think of it, one time in high school I mistranslated a question on my Spanish oral exam and told my entire class “I prefer to wash my banana after dinner rather than the next morning.” So, I guess having someone write my bio would have been no higher than number two for sure.

If you made it through this blurb, you’ll probably like other stories I tell. Look around, read a blog post, listen to a podcast episode, or pre-order my new book Name It After Me.

I promise it won’t be in the top three dumbest things you’ve ever done.

But how would I know that? Maybe you prefer to wash your banana in the morning.
