And now I am a dating coach. How about those apples? I will tell you this, I do not like apples. However, dating is fascinating. The number one problem on earth is how people find people to love. I have four clients. Call me the Oprah of dating. Is she asexual?
You might be asking yourself how did this clown go from a strip club bartender to a professional mascot to a party bus owner to DJ to a bar owner to a restaurant owner to an author to a life coach to a dating coach. I failed out of Zoology school, that’s how.
I swear to God if I could just focus on one thing I might be successful. Speaking of, I want to be a pilot. No, open a coffee shop. Wait, start a traveling mastermind.
I should work in the film industry.
I digress.
I had coffee with a badass woman this morning. She has radiantly blue eyes and ate two eggs. When the coffee arrived she pulled a clear pharmacy bag out of her purse containing 100 Stevia packets. Who carries around 100 fake sugar packets in their purse? Her.
We talked about love, relationships, spreadsheets, sex, podcasting, addiction, business, and marriage.
I wanted her advice on business. She wants to find someone to marry.
There was a man sitting alone in the booth across from us. He was in his 50s with a growl on his face. Heavy set and bald, he looked like Billy Bob Thornton in Sling Blade but bigger and meaner. I was mesmerized.
I watched him eat his eggs and move his coffee mug around the table. Snarling the whole time. Not verbally, but with a menacing frown on his face. He stared at me. I stared at him.
What is it like to be him? Is he happy? Does he love anybody? Does anybody love him?
He barked something at the waitress when she gave him the check. Fascinating. I love this man.
Anyway, my friend said something interesting during our conversation that stuck with me:
When people show you who they are, you should believe them.
How many times do we try to date people we know are not for us? Or hang on too long? Or go for the hot guy or hot girl even though they worship Satan or wear diapers on Onlyfans?
Then she told me something a priest told her when she asked him how to find love:
I want you to say hello to everyone. The right person will say hello back.
Wow, solid advice. He should be a dating coach.

TREY’S THREE THINGS
1. THINK
Happy people make happy marriages. Happy people make happy relationships. Happy people make great friends. Am I a happy person?
2. GET
These mints and gum have 80 milligrams of caffeine plus a ton of B vitamins in each piece. They pack quite a punch and don’t stain your teeth like coffee or give you a heart attack like Red Bull. Well, maybe the heart attack. Not sure.
3. GO
Get some grub at Eats on Ponce De Leon Ave in Atlanta. It has been my favorite restaurant in Atlanta for 20 years. Jerk chicken, veggies, a pasta line, kick-ass ice tea, and a dive bar feel. It’s 1000% better than all the overpriced restaurants in Ponce City Market across the street.
There you go. If you dig this blog, please forward it to some friends so I can rack up subscribers and become a digital nomad working in overpriced coffee shops while posting pictures of me surfing on Instagram. It also helps with my self-esteem.
I should be a pilot.
