This has been a John Green Appreciation Post
John and Hank have been instrumental in my growth as an artist since I was a teenager. At every step in my small business journey, John and Hank were somehow behind the scenes, unknowingly encouraging me to keep going. Helping remind me that I have things to offer, even if they don’t seem special or important.
I got to go up onstage at John’s book tour last night. He asked for volunteers to act out a scene. He was so thrilled by our performance and genuinely seemed shocked at our talent. It was very cool to get to see him in person again after so many years.
I got to give him a new sticker I designed, that I’m particularly proud of because I can really see how much I’ve improved since the one they sold on their website. I also gave him some Mountain Goats stickers because, well, of course I did.
I hope he likes them.
Sometimes when the impostor syndrome kicks in, all you need is a celebrity to tell you that you’re doing a good job 🤷
Thank you, John and Hank, for giving me Scrambled Pegs. I never would have done it without you.
