Everything is about lessons, right? We're going to keep on learning lessons every single day.

Life is about learning lessons. If you don't learn the lesson, it's simple to know because it results in pain.

This is entrepreneurs, the playbook. A great way to teach lessons and stories is just

tell mine. It's a little bit unique. I grew up in Akron, Ohio, the armpit of the U, great place to be from.

And I had a single mom, my dad left when I was five,

and she raised six kids, five boys and a girl.

And my mom had one simple philosophy in life,

doctor, lawyer, or failure.

That's all literally ever heard.

In fact, she did not believe that the fetus

was fully developed till after graduate school. But the amazing thing about my mom, typical Jewish mom,

but she was a black belt in the martial arts. She was one of the few third degree black

belts in the martial art of Jewish guilt and so she drove us my

siblings are parents wet dreams me not so much but they went to Harvard Penn

Columbia some of them live around here.

So if you look at my last name, don't tell them

that you met their brother.

They'll be embarrassed.

But she was the best mom in the world.

And honestly, I complete mama's boy.

I'll have trouble getting through my story

without crying about my mom because she was that amazing.
