Wondering why @BillGates and @kanyewest were hacked but not I? Should be obvious, I only hire interns proficient in Blockchain.

@vdb__ Take that back.

@garyvee I have a Gary Vee voodoo doll. I hang my phone up on it to emulate failed cold calls.

@garyvee Closed deals.

A killer whale can hold its breath up to 15 minutes. A killer salesman should know when it’s time to hold their breath.

Shamu is a toothed-whale. Although generally smaller than baleen whales, toothed whales are hunters. They find, chase and capture their prey. A salesman must hunt. Baleen whales belong in marketing.

I take aim, position my scope, ready to fire.

I hesitate. The bear looks content.

I put the rifle back inside the bag.

“Let’s go home, Hector.”

Snowcones are for the weak.

As Hector commences takeoff, I catch something out of the corner of my eye.

It’s the bear. Perched atop the peak of the mountain, licking a strawberry snowcone.

I reach into my knapsack and carefully draw my Barret M107 .50 caliber semi-auto sniper rifle and attach its scope.

8700’
As the sun sets, snow falls atop the icy peak. Windchill drops the temperature to 6°. Picked a bad day to wear loafers.

8900’
I think Delroy and the Cabana Club crew were joking about the snowcone man. I call my pilot, Hector to pick me up. He greets me with a hot negroni.

I happen upon a tribe of natives. Their currency happens to be pooka shells. I trade my necklace for a wife and 2 goats.

6855’
My new wife begins to nag. Oh no, looks like she “tripped” off the side of the cliff.

[Bart Vanderhorst, CEO @BeYourOwnBart]

5500’
The bear struggles to keep up. He’s debilitated. Perfect chance to finish him off.

I hop off my Clydesdale, corner the bear on the edge of the cliff, and deliver a swift roundhouse kick to its face, knocking it off the cliff where it disappears into the stratus clouds.

[Bart Vanderhorst, CEO @BeYourOwnBart]

4000’
I run out of rations. Luckily, I instructed Mateo to bring my Clydesdale around the back of the peak and trot up to base camp.

Unluckily, he forgot the saddle. I picked the wrong day to freeball.

We encounter our first obstacle. A stray grizzly bear make its way through the brush.

Native to the Dominican?
No. But there nonetheless.

He was yearning for that snowcone. He knew I was too.

I wasn’t going to allow some meek bear to beat me there.

I increase my pace.

[Bart Vanderhorst, CEO @BeYourOwnBart]

A Dominican parable attests there is a snowcone man at the top of the mountain.

But, here’s the catch: the snowcone man only offers one snowcone per diem. I had to move fast.

[Bart Vanderhorst, CEO @BeYourOwnBart]

None of your business.

Pico Duarte - loosely translates to dirty salsa.

This is how your stomach feels when you reach peak gradient.

Supposedly. I was about to find out.
