The Low Dao 67: Patrick Finn

August 14, 2016

"Just living alone and kind of having to start fresh, I could throw away any ties I had to people, right? Okay, I can finally be me. No one expects anything of me because they don't know me. So I don't have to live up to anyone's expectations. Be 100% me and build my reputation around that."
