Don't even know if she ever made a sale. I don't think she ever made a sale. And I remember like feeling so happy for her and then realizing like, dude, she's never going to try anything ever again. Never. And so I actually got my real estate license when I was like 21 and I got it because of that. Like I really wasn't like, I didn't have a plan. I was a social worker.

I was like, dude, everybody's getting a real estate license, meaning like five guys I knew. But I'm like, why not get it? And then I started buying and selling property when I was 21, land developing, multifamily homes. And I, you know, built a pretty good real estate portfolio, which I sold later. But yeah, man, growing up, it really drove me.

I think my mother, um, she had a really, really tough upbringing, you know? And honestly, in fairness, so did my old man. And I think when you look back on it, you know, I had a guy tell me one day that every son and father go through three phases. First, your son idolizes you. Then he demonizes you. Then he humanizes you. And, man, I thought about my son. I mean, I coached all his sports.

I was with him every minute of every day. You know, the idolization. And what's weird is I started – you start thinking a lot when you get older, and you're like, you know what, man? My old man was – he was an ass. But guess what, bro? There are things that happened to him he didn't do to me. So as much as I want to demonize him, I realized he's a human being, bro. So he's just a human.
