Damn, bam, damn, true underdog.

Bam, bam, unleash the power with him. Bam, bam, damn. You'll be a good movie, baby. Damn. Unleash the power with him. Damn. Damn. Build it with me, baby. Damn. Damn. Hey. Hey. Hey. What is up, everybody? Jeremy here. And as always, I'm bringing you guys some incredible people that are doing really big things. I got to tell you, I am very excited for today's episode because I actually got a chance to go on his podcast.

And I'm like, dude, why the fuck am I not interviewing you?

Welcome to Create Your Own Life show, Jason Waller.

Bam!

How you doing, Ben.

Hey, I didn't wear a Superman shirt.

I got a true underdog podcast shirt.

My muscles don't look as good as yours, but I'm working on it.

I think that's the earliest in the podcast. I've ever dropped an expletive, by the way. That's pretty extreme. Good. That's a good sign, by the way. 2021, we're fucking ready, right? Hell yeah. Well, I think the thing I found really inspiring about you, Jason, is you and I kind of got to this conversation on your show about, like, the education system and how a lot of it doesn't, you know, really set people up for success. And in a lot of ways, you're very self-made. And I'm just, I guess I'm interested first off to find out like, you know, you've had a ton of success to this point. Your company's grown. I don't even know how many hundreds of percent and thousands of percent in the last number of

years, you know, a three-time entrepreneur of the year. But you didn't start there. And I'm guess I'm curious, like, what made you want to be an entrepreneur? You know, you had said a second ago, like he couldn't spell it. But, you know, you did it anyway. Yeah, I couldn't spell it. And my, you know, that was part of the EY process, but my parents were blue collar.

And I watched my dad have an opportunity. He worked for AT&T. He worked third shift. And he worked

second shift. He was a union store. My mom worked in a, in a bakery at a grocery store,

decorating cakes and making. Wow. And so we didn't have a lot. We had enough. We were a little

less than, I would say, middle class. But when we moved to North Carolina, my dad had an opportunity right before we moved to go into business with a friend of his who had video stores when they were cool, right? Before Blockbuster, when video stores were banging. Don't even get me started on Blockbuster, man. I don't know who the hell needs to rent a movie for seven days.

That was some of the dumbest shit I've ever experienced.

Dude, that was my first job. Was it a video store to be like, can you not rewind it? It's five days late. What's wrong with you? I remember renting Sega Genesis games from the video store back in the day, man. Oh, that's so, I remember the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle games and stuff like that.

Yeah.
