It's a Yes or Yes Question

When you can’t quit, you gotta find another way out.

Here’s my story.

When I was in my twenties, I spent some time as the assistant manager of the coffee shop in the Hyatt Regency in Baltimore.

The place was called Cascades, and it was my daily responsibility to open the shop . I had to wake up at 5 AM to get there in time every morning. It was a crazy intense job; sometimes there would already be 300 guests lined up waiting to eat by the time I got to work.
