The short version:
My name is Billy and I’m writing my first book called Fumbling Forward: Short Stories & Life Lessons From a Rather Unusual Career. I wrote it for anyone who still isn’t sure how to answer the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”
Think of it as equal parts humor, memoir, and career advice told in five parts:
- Eating Sh!t — Working in customer service
- Studying Hard — Working through college
- Flying Solo — Working as a freelancer
- Teaming Up — Working with business partners
- $elling Out — Working in corporate America

OK, now the the longer version:
Growing up, I never really stuck with any one thing in particular. Like many bumbling kids my age, I was privileged enough to fumble through baseball, soccer, tennis, taekwondo, trumpet, piano, choir, drama, art, and countless other failed activities, only to abandon each and every single one for something a little more shiny and new.
