So business, dare I say, is somewhat easy for me and I believe so much of it comes from just growing up in chaos.

When you're constantly navigating chaos,

hunger, abuse, neglect, all of those different aspects, the levers of business are kind of easy,

you know, operational metrics, you know,

KPI's and balance sheets and income statements.

Well, those are kind of easy compared to, okay,

I don't want to get molested when I'm with my dad,

so what do I do? And so I have found that so much of the

chaos that I grew up in I've been able to be somewhat at peace in business and decision making and my intuition and being able to see

around corners has served me well.

So many of those lessons have come from my very first job when I graduated high school

was where I actually I didn't graduate high school I had to go to summer school to get my

high school diploma I'd actually never graduated high school.

So, but anyway, my first job after that was cleaning toilets at a restaurant.

And the irony, the name of the restaurant was called Po-Fokes. All the damn places I could have gone to work and I

went to a place called Po- Folks. And my job was from 9 to 3 I would clean the toilets and I was a bus boy and I would

clean the toilets from the night before and they were horrific and

I remember standing there one day and saying to myself okay no matter what if I've got to do this

my toilets are going to be the cleanest toilets in San Antonio, Texas.

And that was the pride I took in my job.

So it started standing in front of those toilets and making a decision.

If I've got to clean these anyway, I want them to be the best.
