About The Mulligan Since "the mulligan’s" release, readers have been asking if Joe Mix’s story is my own. The answer is “No”, but like everyone else, I deal with frustration and failure. I simply took a few of the things that weigh on most middle aged people, and built them into something that might cause a successful person to leave their life behind and try to reclaim whatever it was that they felt they should have found in life. Joe Mix is looking for meaning, aren’t we all? I used dentistry as the profession from which to launch Joe Mix because everyone has such powerful preconceived notions about the dentist. It was fun to present a character like Joe, a good guy, and a man who sought something a little deeper from this life. Joe was unfulfilled by the money and status that came with a successful career. In the end, he just couldn’t reconcile his increasing dissatisfaction with a life he had been living for everyone but himself. Shortly before I started the Mulligan I read that 90% of Americans are unhappy with their jobs, and 43% have failed at Marriage. There seems to be a large audience for a story about someone questioning whether their life is justified, and whether there was any meaning to it all.
