It's Brandon Dawson here with another episode of Building Billions.

I have a very special guest, somebody that I've been stalking for the last 60 months of five years to understand how this person has become so successful.

And I'm so excited to have him on my show.

David, it is such a pleasure to have you on this show.

Would you tell everybody who you are, what you done, and then I'll explain why I wanted to have you on this show. Would you tell everybody who you are, what you done, and then I'll

explain why I wanted to have you on my show. Well, I appreciate that, Brandon, and I am here

because you've built quite a community with your partners, our friends that we have in common.

But my story, I'll keep simple. It's a story of three worlds.

Grew up in the world of not enough.

As a victim, I had a single mom, six kids, five boys and a girl.

I watched my mom.

I didn't listen to her.

But luckily, by watching my mom, I learned about the consistent, persistent pursuit of my potential.

I also knew my mom's work ethic, working two jobs, a single mom,

packing my dinner in a papered bag.

She was a second grade teacher and filled up greeting cards at convenience stores that I wanted to be rich.

And so to come on a show about making billions and impacting billions

is right up my alley. But at that time in the world of not enough where you're a victim,

all I cared about was the one thing that was missing in my life. And I focused only on what

was missing, which was a lot of money. Every stress that I had,

distressed, dis-ease was related to financial insecurity. And so I resolved that problem when I got

out of law school, instead of taking $150,000 salary plus bonus maritime oil and gas litigation job in 1992.
