Annual Update - 5 Years In, now quitting my day job!

Wow! Matt, this is so awesome to hear. As I've mentioned on other Taxi threads, it's SO important for us to hear about the successes of our fellow travelers.

It's extremely inspiring and makes me want to work that much harder. Please, please continue to share and keep us updated.

Thanks again for sharing and huge congrats to you!

Thank you to everyone for taking a moment to read! To be able to support myself financially through music has been a dream of mine ever since I picked up my first guitar at age 10 (well, really, ever since I watched my first Motley Crue video in 1989... Dr. Feelgood, baby!). I'm still making inroads, and at the moment have to keep a safety net in place. But the dream is really happening.

EXACTLY! Such great news, man! See you tomorrow night!

Thanks for sharing that bit of history and journey Matt! It's truly an inspiration for us all. And actually, 5 years is not that long considering how many years you have most likely invested in your teaching job!

Congrats to your new official career! May it continue to grow into something massive!

Blessings,
Fuller

Thanks to everybody for taking the time to read this and respond. Your support and encouragement means the world to me.

P.S. it was sooooooo great meeting so many of you for the first time at the Rally last week. And to my friends that I see every year, it was great to see you all again. The Road Rally - and the friendships and meet ups that happen there - are always a highlight of my year.
