    Todays life is “just because you had an idea, you think it’s yours?” Iron Man
    I promise you the admission of having prostituted your soul for what it takes to be heard leading to being replied to with the onslaught of hostile people’s bread at stake who hedged on your idea, makes a short stressful life. Unless you’re a billionaire, this is the world. There is hopeless optimism that led to this realization.
    Don’t show up with the recipes, surface after final product and present it ready for sale.
