My store Wine Library outsells big national chains. How do you think we do it? It started with hustle. I always say that our success wasn't due to my hundreds of online videos about wine that went viral but to the hours I spent talking to people online afterward making connections and building relationships.
My career started young and I was really ambitious and then I had success and I hung out with people who were much older. I think I might have been temporally misplaced so I thought I was 40. It was a premature midlife crisis.
They thought I was a success as soon as I started paying the bills.
Eventually with success I started to feel more and more isolated - like I didn't have a community of artists.
We moved into the back made it into a little 50s sitting room and started to sell the records. We had an immediate success. For one thing these Teddy Boys were thrilled to buy the records.
I sort of understood that when I first started: that you shouldn't repeat a success. Very often you're going to and maybe the first time you do it works. And you love it. But then you're trapped.
What I have in common with the character in 'Truman' is this incredible need to please people. I feel like I want to take care of everyone and I also feel this terrible guilt if I am unable to. And I have felt this way ever since all this success started.

I've always been really athletic which really helped because when I first started doing the training for Bulletproof Monk it required so much strength that if I didn't have a base I don't really know what I would have done.
I was vegetarian for a long time and in the last four years I started eating chicken and fish. I feel like it really built up my strength a lot.
