#263 – Starting a Profitable Business After a Life-Changing Exit with Laura Roeder of Paperbell

Hey, dude. What's up? What's going on with your, your apartment? How's it going? It's a disaster. I mean, did you see a guy tried to burn my entire apartment down? You've been telling me about this guy for years. This is the same dude. Right? Yeah. For a year. He's he, like, lived above me. I don't really know where he is now. He's in he's in prison somewhere. But, basically, it's this guy. He's got, like, some kind of mental illness. So it's really unfortunate. But the result is that he's he's also, you know, that I think they're trying to evict him. So long story short, he's, like, tried to, like, flood his apartment. He shoved a he shoved a hose into a sink and flooded his apartment. So that dripped down. That was one disaster. He set fire.

He was definitely, like, at his wit's end, and he just knocked on her door, she told us, that morning, right before he set the building on fire. And he goes, hey. I'm, I'm the guy from upstairs. And she's like she had no idea. She was like, oh, okay. Cool. She just moved in. What guy from upstairs? Yeah. It she's like she described him v guy. The v guy. Everybody knows. She described him, and she's like, this guy had on a coat with no shirt on underneath. He had skinny jeans on, mismatching shoes, and just knocked on my door and was, like, super polite. He was like, hey. You know, I'm I'm the guy from upstairs. You know? Like, they're trying to evict me. …
