I know a guy who used to be an LA County Sheriff's deputy. He took a vacation to go scuba diving and loved it so much he went home, quit his job, moved countries, and started his own scuba business in Mexico (which is how I met him). Lived there for almost 20 years and built an incredibly successful business because his customer service, attention to detail, and commitment to providing a great experience were top notch. He met his future wife there, who was from Spain. After many years they left Mexico and moved to Spain where he now lives in semi-retirement, in a really beautiful place straight out of the Gladiator movie, gardening and enjoying a peaceful life and going on adventures all over. I've rarely met anyone who chased their dreams so successfully.

Man can he and I be friends? That's incredible.
