Tim Jarrett quotes Justin Hall: “A friend at Deloitte & Touche asked me to talk with these kids about my career as a freelance writer. And so I stood up in front of them and shared. ‘I’m homeless, in debt, and my clothes smell because I live out of a beater car.’ And they looked at me confused and a loud little girl with long thin braids in a bright pink parka down in front during the second section said, ‘Why should we listen to you then?’ and I said, ‘because I do what I want and I love my life.'”
