What's up everybody and welcome to another boardroom out of office.

Today, I'm in my office talking to somebody very close to my heart.

Please welcome to the show.

My dear friend, entrepreneur, CEO, team sports owner and Philly's own, Mr. David A.

E. What's up brother thanks for

having me thank you we've been talking about this for quite some time yeah long time thanks for uh

fitting it in of course the the the thing that i always enjoy when i'm able to interview somebody

that i'm friends with is i do like a tiny bit of research it's like a gloss over quick right before. And then I'll pick

like one or two things out. And the first thing that kind of like stuck out to me was how early

your hustle and this like thought process of trying to make money kicked in. And then also

thought about the fact

that you and Michael Rubin are best of friends

and in some ways very similar in when in your life

you guys both started thinking in that mindset.

What was it for you that triggered that at a young age?

And then with that question, talk to me a bit about this famous mentor that you

had as a young person as well, who I've had a chance to meet Alan Harwitz, because I know that

a lot of times people ask me if there was a mentor or someone that I had as a young person,

and there really wasn't one. It was like observing a ton of people, but it feels like

this early hustle that was ingrained in you, you did have a mentor of sorts.

I did. And as far as Ruben and I go, I think it must have been the Philly Water, you know,

right? Definitely. So yeah, so my hustle, you know, the story for me is I was about 10 years old
