I've heard from quite a few brave and principled people over the past two years.
Just this week I heard from another one.
This person wrote, first, to thank me for converting him to libertarianism via one of my books.
But then he added that what I've been doing most recently has been even more important:
"Most importantly, though, I wanted to tell you how much this community has meant to me. I am in healthcare and had to leave a good job in the same city as our family because the hospital system I was at decided to implement the mandate and I refused to apply for permission to exercise bodily autonomy.
"So I began traveling as a respiratory therapist, along with my wife (and newborn daughter who will now be joining us). I had a very real gut check when I was denied five contracts in the state of Washington because of the CMS mandate, as well as having a third-party company almost deny me a start date in Idaho because they wanted to inject themselves between the hospital and me because they weren't satisfied with my
exemption.
"I have to leave the industry because, as you are well aware, they hate us. I am in the entrepreneur group and I have never been happier to be the dumbest person in the room. I am in David's Monday 11 a.m. group, and being exposed to what everyone is doing is really inspiring. Hearing about the success and drive of others has challenged me to do the things that have always made me happy to think about but never put into action....
"Thank you for the School of Life and thank you for being a doer. This is changing people's lives."
The David this person is speaking about is David Moore, who's run numerous entrepreneur mastermind groups and whom I hired to run some of the small groups for entrepreneurs, wantrepreneurs, and assorted business people in my School of Life program.
They're for people with successful businesses, struggling businesses, and people who are barely at the idea stage.
Every week people in your small group meet to report on what's going well, what they could use advice on, and what they pledge to accomplish by the next meeting.
We make connections, we learn, and the accountability keeps us progressing.
And these groups represent just one small corner of my School of Life.
We reopen our doors next week. Watch this space.
