Well, first of all, thanks for having me on, man. I appreciate it. I appreciate everything you do and everything right back at you, man. I see you everywhere. I've heard a lot about you and it's good to meet you in person. So thanks for having me. And I need to preface this with one of the reasons I want to come on a show is I like real people that tell real stories.

It's unfortunate with this whole nature versus nurture thing because so many people they fabricate their story. It's not a real story. Um, so I shoot you straight. Whenever I have to say it happened, if I say it didn't happen, it didn't happen. And it makes my life a lot easier. My mother raised me and my brother, my brother's two years younger than me.

Um, she got pregnant when she was 17, had my brother who died shortly after birth. I would have had another brother. I'd been the middle child and then had me at 19, my brother at 21, um, old man left. My mom raised us. My mom had a high school education. And my mother worked at a hospital plant product, kind of like wore a hair net, worked there. She was a bartender and did all kinds of odd jobs.

You know, people say to me, what causes low self-image? I said, lack of unconditional love. And my mother, for all the things I had going on in my life, all the stupid shit I did, all the drugs and alcohol I was involved in, all the times I got arrested for doing stupid shit, she loved me through it all. My mom told me she loved me every mother-effing day of my life.

Um, truthfully to this day, if I called her right now, that'd be the first thing she says. So she, um, she, she raised me, worked really hard. Um, you know, we lived in, you know, subsidized housing and I knew that's not where I wanted to be. Um, I knew at a very, very young age, you're talking about your kids. I knew at a very young age, I want to do a lot more.

I knew at a very young age, my brother had no desire to do anymore. And we lived in the exact same house, exact same circumstances. So I went to college, played baseball, got a degree, uh, And then got myself a job immediately working with abused, neglected children.
