Uh,

You know, when I was, when we first started, we started in retail stores, I worked the counter.

Okay.

And I fucking loved it.

I loved working the counter of the retail store.

I love talking to different people, you know, 40, 50 times a day.

Like, dude, I can't tell you, like I get there nine o'clock, we close at nine o'clock at night and it would go by like that because I'd be just do like, I loved it.

Right.

Right.

2006, when we started to really expand, I couldn't work the counter.

And at first it made me feel really guilty because I was like, fuck, I can't even, these guys are, I wasn't, I was uncomfortable with it.

I'm like, these guys are doing the work and like, they probably think I'm out here fucking off.

But dude, without me out here, quote unquote, fucking off, the business can't scale.

All right.

Which means they don't have jobs, which means they can't build careers.

All right.

So what it looked like for me was I worked the counter.

I went over and started building the business.

I became, you know, pretty fucking good at operating a business, built multiple businesses.

And what I found out was that I actually liked that a lot too.
