Buckle up, my friends, this one's a banger 💥
Uber Stories: Atlanta definitely went differently than how I thought it was going to go, but it was still an incredible trip, I met some amazing people, and more than anything else, I was reassured that I am on the right path.
So this episode is going to run a little differently than my normal Uber Stories episodes go, but I think you'll enjoy the stories.
I start today's episode by welcoming first-time listeners to the show and sharing some of the reasons that I'm doing this show, I share my Golden Gate Bridge story (27:19), plus plug a lot of other little things like my playlists, the email for The Doctor Is In submissions, and asking for your best Uber Stories, as well.
Why did I stay in Atlanta for 10 days when I was originally only supposed to be there for 4? It's a pretty funny story, actually (46:00), definitely a learning moment, but it all worked out for the best.
I spend some time telling the story of hanging out at Sport & Social at The Battery, being featured on the big screen, and getting to drink for free all day (58:00), then I get to the story most of you are here for.
I got to meet 40 (1:18:16). Like, Drake's 40. Noah Shebib. At Magic City on a Monday. He bought me a Choe shots, he vibed with the show, and he may or may not be joining me as a guest at the point, but even if that never happens, that moment has already done more for me than a regular Uber story ever could.
Just the video of me telling the story of meeting 40 went viral on TikTok, has like 30k views, almost 4k likes, 200 comments... It was a really cool moment that served as validation of what I've been doing over the last 10 months. It was awesome.
Later in the episode (2:08:51), I share how I went to the Atlanta Beltline and pitched like Mariano Rivera, walking 17k steps, 7.5 miles and making 55 quality impressions on a handpicked audience.
Finally, some big picture takeaways and observations from the trip I wanted to speak on before wrapping up.
