But by the time I was 24, 25, I was running North American sales.

I was director of U.S.

sales.

I had hired and fired all my older brothers.

And my parents started going through a pretty vicious divorce that went on for like seven years.

And about halfway through that, the new family was coming in, whom I was very close to and still very close to.

But I just felt trapped between my mom and

being in the way of the new family.

So I just removed myself from the situation, decided I was going to be an entrepreneur at 26 years old.

Yeah, well, it wasn't such a great success story.

I wouldn't raise my first million.

I made a hundred presentations.

I was laughed out of most of them.

I bought my first business and I was the only person ever at that point to consolidate the hearing care space.

I had no idea what I was doing between 26, 27.

Finally, Warburg Pincus backed me.

And at 29, I was the youngest person to ring the opening bell of the American Stock Exchange.

It was phenomenal.

The experience was unbelievable.

But trying to go from zero to 75 million in three years, buying 130 businesses was not easy.
