Man tells boss to "eff" off after listening to the podcast

I’ve been listening to your podcasts and reading your emails DAILY and look forward every morning to see what my email box has in its britches from you.
But equally important, I listen to your podcast every morning to and from my W2 job… however, I’m getting to a point where I'll have no more new Ben Settle episodes to listen to (but its like you said, it's better to go deep in knowledge than shallow and wide so I'll start em' over again).
But, my “fix” of The Ben Settle Podcast does two things: It keeps my focus in the entrepreneur-mind-set for most of the remainder of the day while I laboriously go through my w2 day job.
AND… I’ve seen my balls grow a little larger every day with your audio juice.
For instances, just the other day my supervisor came to my job (I work pipeline construction) and as usual gave me shit about how the job is going (by the way it’s not just me, it’s every foreman I work with who gets shit from this guy)… but, this time it was different… this young Ben Settle fanboy who now learned to NOT be needy and is now focused on his Mission (all due to a few of elBenbo’s ebooks, podcasts, and emails) didn’t take his bosses shit anymore. So I basically told him to “eff” off and that I’ll do the job my own way.
Of course, he left furiously, spinning his tires on the way out with no eye contact while steam came out of his nostrils… but surprisingly, the next day he gave me the most respect I have ever seen. He even apologized for being a micro-manager. Ever since then he didn’t mess with these new and approved “I don’t give a ‘…uck” balls, lest my elBenbo juiced testicular fortitude slaps him across the face a few more times.
Anyhow, I just want to say thank you for your lessons on staying with your mission and to stop being needy… I now know I’m more valuable than what this w2 job pays me.
Also, No, I’m not an email subscriber YET. I have yet to find and build a list, nor do I have a product for that list. Juggling family, a W2 job, a startup real estate investing business, and copywriting work for your friend Trevor Mauch’s company Investor Carrot, keeps me pretty occupied daily (however I still write a daily email to an imaginary list per your recommendation).
But yeah, you’re probably right Ben… all that is an excuse, and a list and a product are probably staring right at me. So to be honest, I'm just not there yet. Anyway...
Thanks,
Paul do Campo
p.s. I just ordered your Copy Slacker and Copy Bag, and your copy bag alone has incredible value. Thank you!
