You started, and you have a tremendous story, and I'm super excited to get into that.

You started with really nothing, and you built yourself, you built your business, and by the age of 32, you were a millionaire.

Can you tell us a little bit about that, about how exactly you went from nothing to becoming a millionaire by 32?

Yeah, I actually was a millionaire by 24, a multimillionaire by 32.

But the way that I got there was an insatiable desire that I must be what I can be, and also with thirst to make money. Unfortunately, I was aligned with making

money for the wrong reasons. I always say that money doesn't buy you happiness,

but it allows you to shop. And if you shop for the right things for the right reasons,

it'll buy you plenty of happiness, joy, passion, and purpose. But if you buy things for the wrong

reason, you're going to have to go back to the beginning and start over, which is what happened to me.

So I grew up with a single mom, six kids in Akron, Ohio.

All of them, like you, went to the Ivy League's.

My mom believed doctor, lawyer, failure.

Fetus wasn't fully developed until after graduate school.

My mom believed that as long as education was primary and then waking your kids up

early 5 a.m., that everything else would take care of itself. And so I was a little bit resistant to

my mom's philosophies. I simply wanted to make a lot of money so I could help her with the only

thing I saw her struggle with,

which is finances. And anytime I saw or caught my mom crying, it was because something broke

or we could afford to do something. And so in my mind from the early age of five, when my dad left

me and my mom was driving around, packing my dinner in a paper bag between her two jobs

as a second grade teacher and filling up turnstiles at convenience stores with greening cards just so we could eat.

I put every effort into I'm going to take the opportunities that pay the most.
