There's a randomness, even if you're talented. This is a very unforgiving industry that puts you through the ringer. It is not easy by any means, but it's one of those things that if you have the patience, the perspective, and the talent, it can really take off.

I wish I could have gone back and told myself what I know now: Accepting yourself is the way to go.

My career at Microsoft really was getting in the way of my cooking.
