every day and asking questions. Ethan 's out there. But a lot of people I read aren't.

Not to a fault, but they crave people with access.
everybody's thoughts on that. Ethan Sherwood Strauss: OK. I guess I'll go first. I can tell you how I personally handle that problem of not knowing where the next paycheck is coming from, or not knowingif it will be sustainable in the future. And for now, that's just not having kids.
like I have something to offer that eventually I'll be able to make money on it somehow become a star in the field. Ethan Sherwood Strauss: Yeah, I think that's a great question. And it's a complicated one to unwrap. It sort of depends on what your approach is. I think Posnanski, he only wants

good arguments. I'm not here to rebut any of this.
