Back from the Dark Side

And after a 4 year hiatus, I've finally escaped from Corporate Zombieland!! Only this time, I'm armed with some more degrees/certifications/skill sets, and a whole lot more savvy. Goes to show you can't escape destiny...

Here's the plan:
- Pre-liberation (until June 1): study (well, cram like crazy) for the CFA Level II exam, and kick its *ss from here to Uranus :) Not sure what I'll do with this in the future, but figure it can't hurt to have a strong grasp of ethics and fiduciary duty in this crazy, crazy world we live in.

- Over the next 6 months: do personal training full-time, learn to code (thanks Code Academy!), learn new languages (suggestions welcome), reconnect with long lost friends, and meet a whole bunch of cool people. get involved with some cool start-ups. maybe write a book based on the long list of ideas created 3 years.

- Every month: plan/execute a project/event that shares the joy of fitness with the world.

- Every week: learn/do something that will better equip me to make the world a better place. share it with others.

- Every day: do something that will make the world (or some microcosm of the world) a better place. write it down.

- Every second: be thankful to have the opportunity to do this, and commit to making the absolute most of this freedom that I can.

I've taken a lot in the last few years as part of the almost 1% (fine, still pretty darn far from the 1%). Now it's time to give back.
