Congrats ! Enjoy the new challenges. Pussy can get a bit boring over time.

I'm sorry if my happiness offends you, I'll try to be less happy going forward.

lol no need for you to try to be less happy it will happen on it's own in the near future guaranteed.

Sounds interesting, I'm curious what you were doing for your buddy at the WSOP?

I think he meant:

"I would not be an employee"

But since he said it in different words I am curious how is that possible to work and not be an employee at the same time. Being a volunteer maybe, but thats definitely not what he meant either :)

lookin at other players cards

Peter is exactly right, I was looking at other people's cards. :)

Everyone's cards on the two feature tables, on monitors in the TV truck. Basically we input the hole card and community card values so they can populate graphics for the TV broadcast.

I'm going to do WSOP Europe a week from now, 6 days in Cannes, France for the show and 4 days in Belgrade, Serbia afterwards for fun.

Congrats on the job! That is awesome :thumbsup

I can definitely relate to this. I sometimes miss a "real" job and consider what kind of job I would fit into... It's kind of difficult when you don't really have a lot of experience or points on your resume - only your own web business - adult on top of that.

I am glad you found a good opportunity and hope it all turns out successful :)

Well done on the new job! :thumbsup

Feels strange for me reading this, as I've only been full time in adult for 2 years, so working for myself is still very exciting. I've had many day jobs over the years and have always dreamed of having my own business, but it was hard to find enough time, so it took me 3 years of part time adult before I could make the break.

I'm sure you'll enjoy your new role; you never know where it will take you :)

Thanks! We went through a similar thing that you guys did a few years ago, investing about the same amount of money you did in a project that never went anywhere. We really believed in it, and it was a lot of factors as to why it fell apart.

One thing I can say is to tell the story from a different angle about what you've done. You started a business, employed X number of people over the years, made over X million dollars, first of its kind, etc. The story can be told a lot better than "I ran some porn sites".

Also expect a certain level of job based on your experience, don't assume you have to start at the bottom again.

when the money is good people have no shame, when money is gone then they see the biz as bad and not real work. apologetic failure hypocrites!!!

you seem like a nice guy peter. :winkwink:

Very inspiring thread, good luck, all the best!
Congrats! :thumbsup

yes to all of those who fail you may be able to get a job that is better than mc donalds

Thanks for the support :) Maybe we should look into getting a professional author to write our story... We definitely have some interesting photos to show and stories to tell.

Would be perfect if the ending could be that we now had a successful mainstream product though ;) That is what we are currently working on for the local (Danish) market. Luckily we didn't burn all our money on Lifestyle Amateurs and are working hard to get a breakthrough with our in-house developed product. We are moving forward, but still waiting for the snowball to start rolling.

We should talk some day and exchange experiences :)
