My Wikipedia page is BS. Just read this.

My career looks great on paper. I played professional beach volleyball, published five books, launched four VC-funded startups, and I homeschool my two sons. But. I have run out of money many times. And when I worked fulltime with two young kids I put a knife in my head and ended up in the ER. It felt like a vacation.

Today I homeschool my two sons and cut my own hair. We have lived in NYC, a farm in Wisconsin, Philadelphia, and now we’re in Boston. My goal used to be to create a stable enough life for my kids so that when someone says, “Where are you from?” they have an answer. Now my goal is to earn enough money to get them safely into adult life. Whatever that means.
