It's an interesting journey that I've been on.

I started my life in the middle class.

My dad was an engineer, and my mom was a homemaker.

And my dad got addicted to drugs, and he disappeared when I was 13 years old.

I would never see him again.

And we went from the middle class to poor.

We lived in abject poverty.

My mom was barely struggling to know, struggling to take care

of myself and my siblings. She's making a little bit over minimum wage and living a paycheck by

paycheck. And, you know, she really had a difficulty with alcohol. So I had an alcoholic mother,

and I love her. She's no longer with me and a drug addicted father. And I then turned to the

streets and I was in and out of gangs, in and out of juvenile hall a number of times and, you know,

got arrested a number of times and, you know, was just heading nowhere quick. And then at the age of

17 years old, my mom found me a mentor. And his name was Robert Hunt. He's no longer with us.

And, you know, he took a liking toward me and believed in me and started teaching me what it's like

to be wealthy. So by the time I was 17, I'd seen the middle. I'd seen poverty and I'd seen

wealthy. And I made a decision shortly after getting mentored by Robert Hunt that I would,

I would choose to be wealthy as opposed to live in the middle or live in poverty any longer.

Man, let's see.

I like, I like this, man, because I can already kind of tell where this is about to go.

And it's just, it's one of those elevated conversations.

You know, all right, this is about to be. And it's just, it's one of those elevated conversations. You know, all right, this is about to be an elevated conversation.
