"I left Wall Street to sell air filters. My friends from Goldman went into tech raising venture capital building apps chasing the next big exit. I chose boring unsexy slow-growing air filters.

I wanted my life to have meaningsomething I could articulate and be proud of. When I quit my job a big reason was the lack of meaning. I was essentially a bookie for hedge funds.
