0:00.0 | Hey, this is John Gordon with Positive You. And today, my guess is Jimmy Rex. Jimmy, |
0:13.5 | how you doing? |
0:14.5 | I was so good to be here, John. Thanks for having me. |
0:16.3 | It's great to have you. So Jimmy, take us back when you were a kid. What did you want |
0:20.9 | to be when you grew up? It was funny. I went, you know, when I was a kid, I was a super |
0:24.4 | ambitious kid always. I was the kid doing the lemonade stand and selling baseball cards |
0:29.1 | and all those things, right? I remember I, you know, when I was a little kid, I'd go |
0:33.4 | to, I went to one grocery store and I noticed that they had hot tamales, the big boxes |

1:15.7 | know, a household that really gave me a lot of freedom to roam. We had like 10 acres |
1:20.1 | with a barn and some horses and but lived in the middle of a neighborhood too. It was kind |
1:23.7 | of a weird thing. We were the only ones that had any land. And so we just go play |
1:28.3 | in these fields and go hang out and just it was just a really fun childhood. I had a happy |
