We are all reevaluating the way we spend our time these days, aren't we? I know I am. Grace and Peace to you Sam in whatever you pursue.

In some ways it's very exciting to read this. Why, because you are being truthful to yourself and what you are passionate about. I look forward to hearing more from you and what you have to share.

Thanks so much, Patrick. Hadn't thought of it that way, but you're right.
And although it's scary, it's exciting!

Even though you are leaving the party, I will take comfort knowing your car is still parked in the neighborhood.

Best wishes with your next endeavors. I think it is great you are gaining clarity about what is important and prioritizing accordingly. That is great to see

> And hopefully, the gang will still allow me to take part in GeekCast even though I’m turning in my affiliate hard card.

You're still stuck with us there.

I think that show can well tie into any of your current interests (science, religion, Nascar, parenting, tech, politics) anyhow.

Well, maybe not NASCAR.

Although it was incredibly brief, I really enjoyed working with you Sam. I wish you the best in your future endeavors and can't wait to see the good things you bring to the world.

When I wanted to start making my name known, the Affiliate Fortune Cookies podcast was the first place I went on. I’ve always enjoyed your take on the industry and your 1000 other interests. Reading this post, I think about reasons why I was drawn to Affiliate Marketing. To paraphrase Joseph Campbell; if you’re going to say ‘yes’ to the adventure, you must say ‘yes’ to this as well. Good luck Sam.

Thanks so much, Mike. Really means a good deal!

Costpernews.com has always been a great resource for industry data, editorial and general information about the industry. I'm very sad to see it go!

The combination of your strength, opinion and passion will take you far no matter what you choose to do!

I totally understand. There are so many folks in this space eeking out every dollar they can by whatever means necessary, and too few offering anything of value to the reader/consumer. Me, I'm in it for the long term, but that means actually trying to help people. Good luck with the next phase of life, and keep on growin'.

Good luck with your new path...the space won't be as well-rounded without you.

Man, this is a shock. I have known you for years and you will be missed in the industry. Please KIT and let me know if you have any big things popping! Get into the local social media scene. Only 200 billion up for grabs and the easiest biz dev ever! If you ever need a hand with anything, holla at ya boy! Peace be with you my friend!

I am glad to hear you will be moving in whatever direction your path takes you. A friend of mine once told me, "you can not force your heart into a shape it doesn't belong." Excited to see what is next. Take care.
