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.

Yeah. And so, um, so I, I sold my stores. I took the money and I started buying investment real estate.
