   Andy Miller - #49

   What would you have done had you won the recent massive lottery jackpot?  If you're Minnesotan, apparently the answer is "buy a cabin".  After that, you could spend the remanining several hundred million on mental health.  Or you could just come visit the FaceIt Foundation instead.  Andy did the latter, and his mental health journey began when he was seeing psychologists as a child.  He discovered FaceIt through a friend of a friend (who happened to be Mark Meier), but now you've discovered it through us.

You know, one thing that's really big with me, and anybody that knows me knows this, is basically like respect, commitment, that kind of thing. Follow through that kind of thing. If I say, hey, do you want to go to dinner and then ten minutes before? Oh, man, you know what? I forgot. I got to go do something else. Yep.
