| 0:39.1 | All right, on to our episode with Win Claibor. |
| 0:43.6 | However, I did always know, even from the time I was a little kid, that I would be an entrepreneur, |
| 0:49.2 | that I would work for myself, that I would build something. |
| 0:52.8 | And when it finally made sense was when I had hairdressers, |

But what I did have back then was that feeling of wanting to hustle. And I love that word hustles. A lot of people think that there's some bad connotations to that word. I mean, to this day, I still hustle. But back then, my gosh, you know, I didn't know what I didn't know. And so I was just hustling and moving forward. And I made some really good decisions back then that served me well back then and still served me today. |
