Advice from a Failed Comedian
My name is Jackson Curtin, and odds are you've never heard of me. For five years I dedicated my life to honing a craft that I loved dearly. I always had a penchant for performing; from being in terrible bands in High School, to acting in terrible short films in college. For a long time I had thought I had finally found my calling with stand up. The problem being I wasn't wrong.

How to Build a Portfolio on $8.50 an Hour. Top Story - June 2018.
I'm currently writing a book on money-making apps. While I was researching the apps for respectable gambling (AKA investing), I talked to the Indiana Secretary of State’s office for a brief description of what exactly these apps do. Basically, they engage in a somewhat risky form of investment called mutual funds. Mutual funds are the top investment funds for most Americans, and they give us cheap, easy access to stocks, bonds, and other types of assets. They add up much faster than a traditional bank account, and the Indiana Secretary of State recommends a booklet called Mutual Funds and ETFs: Maybe All You’ll Ever Need.

College Life
"Go to college!" they said. "It'll be fun!" they said. The college life is not all it's cracked up to be. Although it does teach some valuable life lessons that you won't learn anywhere else, and as some people say, "Experience is the best teacher!" (not always true), it does give you a different perspective of life, the world, and of what you want to do with your future! It's an eye opener and a booster, especially to those who aren't sure what they want to do with their lives yet.

The First Chapter
My wife and I are a part of a church plant in a small town in my little valley. If anyone knows anything about planting a church, it's that your numbers are small when you start. With small attendance, comes a tendency to know everyone. So, this couple comes for the first time and nothing exceptional happens. I am an introvert (INTJ, if you're interested), and I struggle with anxiety and depression regularly, so there wasn't a chance I was going up to talk to them.
