But I got introduced to that entrepreneurial deal with my mom. I started selling t-shirts at high school football games, my junior and senior year to help pay for us, for me to be able to travel around playing like the AJGA and junior worlds and all that type of stuff. And that's when I kind of did my first thing on my own. And she taught me about the business side. You know, when you're 17, 18, 19, you have no idea about that.

And I just kept going.

I didn't really do much while I played professional golf.

I did one venture.

I started Bel Aqua bikinis.

I played in South America, stayed with a family.

I started drop shipping and had a major catastrophe.

Actually, my best friend growing up, John, was running the inventory that we were warehousing in my apartment outside of drop shipping.

And he screwed up like 100 deliveries.

So we're talking like back then it was all black on the bottom, black on top for women, right?

And it was a small and small.

There was no mix and match.

Essentially, we revolutionized the industry because he screwed up probably $10,000, $15,000 worth of orders.

And then we had to come back and start resending stuff, readjust the website, and basically mix and match everything.

And it didn't exist. That led to me getting acquired by Venus swimwear.

How old were you when that happened? 22 when that happened. Can you say what that, how much

you got from that? Yeah, I was offered $2.47 million cash. Whoa. Or I was offered two offers. The other one was

$250,000 up front and a 9% royalty and perpetuity.

Jeff Stewart was my CPA, my best friend, my golfing buddy. He was older than me.

And I was coming over here when I was making a couple of hundred grand and doing the things you shouldn't be doing when you're 20, 21 years old, right?

And he sat me down and said, look, you need to take the perpetuity, because if you take that $2 million up front, you're probably going to blow through it. Yeah, you're too much. Back in the day, I was a Bally's guy. And because I had this bad influence, a guy named Paul, who was like 45 years old and a millionaire, right? And we'd fly over here on a king air and do all stupid stuff. So he convinced me and I took that deal. And I still get checks to this day. Whoa. And that was a life changer. That was that was 30 years ago.

That was in the acquisition was completed in 1995. Yeah, 30 years ago.
