Hello Steemit friends, this is a short introduction to my story. I want to keep it simple and easy digest.
Also it's a declaration of intent, meaning, what I want to do with this project.
So far I been very impressed with the Steemit community and I would be doing a huge injustice to me and everyone in my story so far, if I cram everything on one post.
This is me on my Chrysler 200 ready to start driving... I drive with Uber in NYC and thats is another story into itself... lol
My name is Marlon Carranza and I am originally from Honduras in central America. I moved to States on my early teens. I been involved in my many things ever since, including restaurant cooking, wall street cold caller, waiter and even staff accountant in corporate America.... and now Uber driver. I will get into way more detailed and personal with this aspect of my live as I get comfortable blogging... that's right! This is my very first blog post ever!
I am a father to a beautiful and amazing little girl, named Abi. She is by far the best thing I have going in my live. I simply cannot explain how much she means to me in writing, maybe not yet. I will not be posting of pic of her because her mother and I think it's best not to share her identity online without her consent.
My intent on this platform is test and improve my skills on documenting life, adventures, feelings, ventures, ideas... and whatever else comes to my mind.
My interests include:
*Cooking
*Parenting
*Fitness
*Healthy eating
*Dating
*Video Games
*Online Businesses
*Investing in Real state
*E-commerce
*Politics
*Economics
I will talk about my thought and feelings about all of these subjects in the future as I get more familiar with community and start developing an audience.
SO...
I live in NYC, I drive with Uber and Lyft, have a finance degree but I am doing absolutely shit with it, as far corporate jobs go anyway. I want to build wealth, for me and EVERYONE around me.
I want to be the beacon of hope, I understand how vain that sounds but put simply there isn't anyone in my family that can be that person, so I must be it.
I am also aware that money is not the best vehicle to you give you freedom, it can be in fact another shackle. But for a family that has worked their whole live to have nothing but debt and sickness to show for it, money goes a long way to relief huge stresses. When I get there, when wealth accumulation starts to show diminishing returns, then I will pivot and go for bigger aspirations... until then I must figure out this this crypto thing. Hopefully someone reads this 5 years from now and finds inspiration in it.
If you have bothered to read this far down then you are probably noticing that I tend to go on a tangent very easily, I been told that it is part of the charm though, so...
I couldn't introduce myself without also showing the random shit that passes through my head as I am processing a thought. That is a huge part of me, my thought process :/
I have dealt with depression and high and lows, so you can bet I will get into it at later posts, and I hope I can encourage people to the same.
Anyway this has gone long enough for a "simple and easy digest" introduction post.
Thank you for reading, follow and comment if you have any feedback on my style of writing and direction of this experiment. My number one goal here is to make new friends and learn from them and hope return the favor.
This is probably just another a post in million for most you, but it is huge for me. I have never done something like this :)
I am scared and excited at the same time.
Have a wonderful day and again thank you some much of your time.
Love,
Marlon C
