Traveling with a plan to build your brand and invest yourself entirely to network, connect and grow isn't an easy thing when you have a budget to last you until you really don't know when. What I'm trying to say is, we couldn't afford to stay in a hotel/motel every night. We had to pay for food, gas, emergencies, studio time, promo, everything we needed to see results..
So in the Carolinas we just decided to sleep in the car. We'd park behind a hotel and just call it. In an all black coupe, no-one even noticed.. It wasn't bad since the weather was like nighttime in Spring and it rained throughout the week. But it wasn't until we was getting closer to Atlanta that something puzzled the fuck out of me..
Right before I left home, I made sure to read "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho. It was Will Smiths favorite book growing up as he read it right before starting his acting career and getting casted into the Fresh Prince of Belair. The book talks about a story around a kid who learns the meaning of life and that everyone has a Personal Legacy & Soul Purpose.
This book moved me. I mean it really resonated with me, I think about it till this day.
Now I'm in a gas station in the middle of fucking nowhere and Im using the restroom, longest piss of my life and while Im looking up just enjoying myself, in the corner of this random bathroom I see written in black marker... "The Alchemist.."
Now at first Im just thinking, "huh, coincidence.." until we reach Atlanta...
