Ricky came and spoke at my firm a month ago after being out for only 72 days. He has an amazing story. He is a phenomenal speaker. I was in charge of logistics for the event and we had a book signing after he spoke. As he signed each book he put a unique and different inscription in EVERY SINGLE BOOK HE SIGNED. Literally no two were the same and he signed a ton of books. I would recommend you bring Ricky to speak wherever you may work so more people can hear his story. Support Ricky directly by buying his book or supporting his GoFundMe.
I find it funny that his earlier posts say he is "giving up social media" when he tweeted about this blog post. I question the validity of the 1091 days.
It's true I have been tweeting my blog posts and posting them on facebook, as well as replying to comments about my posts on Hacker News. I feel that this falls within the guidelines I set for myself- which was to stop collecting information and produce value in my life. I don't read my Twitter or Facebook stream, and use it solely as tool for (seldomly) publishing my things I've created.
You'll notice I have only tweeted about 6 times over the past 20 days, when I was tweeting well over 50+ times a day previously.
