My products and magic are free, but on the commercial side of what I do, the big tech companies are impressed with somebody like me who can emotionalize a piece of technology.
I am a businessman. This is what I do each and every day. I love it. I love coming to work. I never have a bad day.
For a long time, I'd work until 10 or 11. When I work, I'm on. I'm 'Magic.' I love it, but it takes a lot out of me.
You really have to love every single bit of what you do. The moment that you do something that makes you feel queasy to your stomach, the company dies.
