I'd start my day. I'd start my day at 3 a.m. I'd start my day at 3 a.m. I went through school and it just wasn't positive for me. I don't recall enjoying it. And then I discovered business.

Everybody at school wants gum and no one has gum. If I sold everyone gum, I could make some money. My whole brain works. Find a problem. There's four steps. Find a problem. Sell the problem. Sell the solution. Nail it and scale it. So when I'm like 14, 13, I'm selling gum in quantities. I'm going to Sam's in bulk. And then the principal calls me and says, Mr. Clark to the principal's office.

Mr. Clark to the principal.

I'm like, what is going on? Sir, Clay, are you selling gum? I'm going to sell gum. I said, you can't sell gum. I said, okay, I'll stop. Then I found out people wanted cassette tapes. Remember Millie Vanilli, Paula Abdul? Everybody wanted, it's like, Straight up now tell me, do you really want to love me forever?

And the people always wanted that millie-vanilly.

Blame it on the rain. Everybody wanted, is like, straight up, now tell me, do you really want to love me forever?

And the people always wanted that millie, vanilla. Blame it on the rain that was vaughan. And then we had tapes, cassette tapes. So I bought a cassette. I'm like a 13-year-old kid. I'm high-speed dubbing tapes. You got the tape? I got the tape, so I gave you the tape. I'm not selling drugs, but it's kind of like a drug thing because it's illegal tape.

So I'm giving you tape $15.

And I'm buying more tapes.

I got this tape. I got the tape, so I give you the tape. I'm not selling drugs, but it's kind of like a drug thing because it's illegal tape. So I'm giving you tape $15. And I'm buying more tapes. I got this black market candy and music because we're going on. And then when I went to the worst event of my entire life was the students against drunk driving. The people planning students against drunk driving were drinking vodka during their water bottles and in class. So I put my hand up, I said, Miss Page, I think that that DJ was terrible. She says, well, why? I said, you can't play Cotton Eye Joe after Regulate. That's why no one's dancing. The guy's horrible, and he's like in his 50s, and he's a chain smoker. All right, ladies and gentlemen, up next our next song, it's going to be an incredible a hot song. It's called Regulate. And he goes and smokes.

That kid gets a ridiculous. Ladies and gentlemen, up next our next song, it's going to be an incredible hot song. It's called Regulate.

And he goes in smokes. That kid gets some ridiculous. Anybody can do better. So she says, well, if you can do it better, then you do it yourself. And I said, I will. We've never had more than 300 kids attend to dance approximately. For every student that comes after 300, can I keep the door? I'll take care of the food. I'll take care of the beverages. I just want $5 per person that comes in after 300 and all the food and beverage. She says, it's on, Mr. Clark. I go, oh, it's on. So I'm passing out flyers, and I didn't know you couldn't invite other schools to your school dance. The night of the event happened, the people show up, And there's maybe a thousand kids where there should be like 300 kids, and they're not from our school.

And the energy is epic now.

People are crowd surfing, and I'm making crazy amounts of money.

I'm going, I'm going to make $5,000 tonight.

The crowd surfing was out of control, and the principal asked me to stop, and I said no. And I asked the crowd, do you want to stop? And they said, no. I said, do you want to stop? No. Do you want to fight for your right to the party? And then the principal kicked me out. I met Vanessa when I was going to Earl Roberts University. She was a cheerleader and I thought she was super attractive and she's super smart. And so even to this day, she'll say stuff and I'm going, oh, I should write that down. So I feel like I'm kind of married to like an attractive Yoda. And he's allowed it in his grace and goodness and mercy, right? Because he has a plan for good, for goodness. And so I get so excited

about everything. She does. I do that the cut is doing right now. We had our first business,

DJ Connection, which was a mobile entertainment company, and we grew that to be doing 80 events a

weekend. It was crazy. We ended up selling that, and we started something called Make Your Life Epic, and that's

what Clay does is coaches, people, and their businesses and helps them grow their businesses.

He sees patterns like no one I've ever met in my life.

I remember he kept telling me things I needed to do
