My accountability partner, Brooks, and I have a saying: It’s for the plot. Car breaks down on the side of the road? It’s for the plot. Dealing with a total asshole in the middle of Whole Foods? Potential material for the plot. Babysitting Tyler’s goofy-ass clients who throw temper tantrums in the middle of nightclubs? You guessed it—it’s for the plot. Any life event—whether it’s happening to me or around me—is up for grabs. The juicier, the better.
