@kristen.aldridge : When @sethmattison and I met a little more than 10 years ago, neither of us had anything. I had just gone through a bad break-up, was $100,000 in debt and living with my parents. Seth had recently left his job to pursue a lifelong dream to be a speaker, but it was in the beginning of the worst economic recession we had ever seen and that meant times were tough. So tough that Seth used to drive 30 minutes twice a week to donate blood platelets so he’d have enough to be able to fill his car tank with gas. Date nights often consisted of Stouffer’s Boxed Lasagna in his tiny section 8 apartment or my favorite, fried egg sandwiches (side note: he’s still the best fried egg sandwich-makerer ever). We didn’t have much but we were lucky enough to be rich in love, and blessed with the fortitude to see our dreams through, no matter what. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from Seth is his innate ability to believe that anything is possible. I’ve watched him in total awe going from struggling and working his ass off just to speak for free at the local MN rotary to now, 10 years later, becoming a world-class speaker positively impacting some of the biggest leaders and companies on the planet. Yet through it all, he’s still that same down-to-earth, humble, hard-working, insanely kind kid from a small-town farm that I fell in love with all those years ago. If someone would have told me we’d eventually be building an inspirational media company together, I’m not sure I would have believed them. I know he’d never in a million years post this video (he’d be way too embarrassed) but truth is, I’m so freaking proud and honored to be his wife. Happy birthday @sethmattison! I couldn’t imagine traveling around the sun with any other soul. I love you more than anything and words could never express how grateful I am for you. Thank you for showing me what it means to be a remarkable human. 💗 . . . . 🎥 @whats_a_yayo 🎞 @lukecgrigg 💄 @adamlesimmons
