Yeah, yeah. So I convinced these guys that I was partners with. We opened a store in Miami, and then we opened a store in the Keys. And so, you know, we catered to a younger demographic. And then... Outside of the Dope Boys, my biggest buyers were rich kids, and sometimes their dad or mom would come in, and the wealthiest people that I met in my stores were all in real estate.

And so then I proceeded to, I opened up a men's suit store. And again, back then, this is the competitive advantage of prior to the internet. I had some good connections where I had connections in Italy. You could come in, get tailored up. We'd send your stuff to Italy, get you a really, really cool suit that you couldn't get anywhere.

Yeah. And then we expanded. We had stuff all over the country. Vegas, New York. And then to kind of round that out, that started to get me very intrigued into real estate. And then I saw the changes that were coming in the digital landscape. And so I sold all my stores.

Because I was like, if I'm Nike or if I'm Jordan and I put my stuff online and I could sell direct to the consumer, why do we need brick and mortar anymore? Right. Or why would I not just open my own brick and mortar? So I kind of saw the writing on the wall. And then I was like, there's so many people, you know, I was young and I was making really good money.

I was like, there's so many people that are so far ahead on the Internet thing. Rather than try to figure that out, I sold all my stuff online. And I said, I'm going to get into real estate, right? And so, but my intention was only to get into real estate to be an investor. Had nothing to do with ever being an agent. Now, I came from, you know, I knew a bunch of my customers.

Harlem Dapper Dan. Look him up. Um, used to get really cool stuff from him, get stuff custom made. Uh, and then, you know, we, I had agreements with some of the big houses where I could get stuff custom made. So I had a lot of celebrity clients. So, so the point I'm making is I came from this very, uh, intimate, you know, someone comes in and gets tailored for a suit.

you know, you kind of get to know them. You get to know what they want, you know, that kind of thing. You got to, if I'm, if I'm selling you a $4,000 tailored suit, there has to be a high level of customer service, right?
