Default Good News!

So I am not sure how many details I can reveal yet, but I officially got some awesome news today.

I just got a new job working with Brian Grasso. In the next 1-1.5 years I will be moving to Chicago to work at a facility Brian is starting up. Its a huge huge mega giant opportunity for me and I am so excited I can barely stand it. I will finally be able to escape the commercial gym hell. Its going to be a long year waiting, but it will be totally worth it.

Sorry JP and Alwyn - Brian's offer was just too good to refuse!

I will hopefully have more info for you guys as things get worked out and hopefully Brian will chime in more about the new facility as things develop.

Danny

That's awesome! To be spoken for 1-1.5 years in advance is quite a compliment!

We'll have to buy JP a round to console him!

Congrats Danny! I'm sure it won't take you long to be THE man in Chicago. With all that bank you'll be making you gotta be buying the rounds in Little Rock.

Danny, how in the hell are you going to keep writing all my books if you're working for Brian? Isn't he going to expect you to show up and actually train people?

Jeebus.

Well, on the bright side, at least I have a year to talk someone else into doing all my work.

Awesome news Danny.

All these kids you will be working with is the perfect opportunity to find yourself a hot MILF as well....

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Seriously though, that is an awesome opportunity. Kudos!

This is great news. Not only can I say that you've helped me a bunch but now my son will be able to get help.

He's only six so we've got some time. Way to go Danny!
