In 2011 I was working at the diamond district in New York city ,I was specialized in setting online operations, sales and business software implementations for companies, I came across a small company that asked me to set their online operation, after a steady growth for a couple of years the company decided to move to Miami Florida and asked me to come with them to Miami to help them to reset the operation in Miami, I agreed for the new adventure and after another 3 years of being together in Miami we decided to separate our ways.
I did not take a vacation for over 10 years and decided to take my time to think on what will be my next chapter, I came across an ad for a Lyft driver, I checked into the ad and I actually found that driving a car is a kind of a Taxi driving and it will serve me very well at this point in my life, it will give me the freedom to think and make some money for my expenses, I did not think it will last more than 2-3 weeks until I will move to my next chapter...to my surprise I got addicted to the driving, I enjoyed meeting thousands of people from all level of our society, from drug dealers to politicians regular Joe and Mary and CEO's from top corporations, celebrities, religion leaders and non-believers, prostitutes and stripers, after 8 month of driving ,hearing all the stories I have decided to put together a book that reflect my adventures that I had and share it with the public, I tried to give you the taste of a little from everything I experienced from Jokes to the cheatings with a flavor of philosophy and surprises, all mixed together , take into account that an average ride is only 20 minutes so I have very little time to connect to the folks, I am a good communicator and I think that I took out the maximum possible.
I hope that you will enjoy my journey as I like to take you with me to places that you never been before.
The arrangement of subjects is not by any special order or importance and you can read it in any order you wish.
I want to use this opportunity to thanks to all the people that trusted me and shared with me their stories and their willingness to listen to me as well, I want them to know that I highly appreciate their openness to share, it is the highest honor for me to have this trust.
I know that I gave good consulting to some folks on how to proceed with their life and I am sending them a lot of love and my best wishes or a good future.
Don't forget to leave a feedback, you know how the internet works...
Thanks, with love
Rudi Merom
