What a great question. And I have heard you say it before, but it sounds different when you're sitting right here. If I was to ever write a book, I would title it, I Started With Everything. What do you think I mean by that? Or do you know what I mean?

Yeah. So many success stories you hear, and they always start with the same thing. Oh, I started with nothing. I started with literally everything I needed, both in my business and my personal life. My parents gave it to me. My grandparents gave it to me. My grandparents on both sides of my family gave it to me. I mean, I am extremely lucky to be raised the way I was. When I was raised by my dad...

When I was raised by my dad...

I couldn't wait to go to work at his dad, my grandfather's car wash. I mean, I'm talking about 9, 10, 11 years old. I couldn't wait to go work there because the whole family worked there because they worked hard. I couldn't wait to go to my grandparents' house for Christmas to set up the Christmas decorations because it was open to the whole city.

During all of December, you could wait 20 minutes in line to get to my grandparents' Christmas party, but every single night we had to work to keep this thing. going. And I just couldn't wait to do it. And it wasn't about the money. It was about, I didn't want to be out at work by my grandparents or by my uncles or by my brothers and my dad, especially.

And so, and then they taught me how to be a good person all the time. You know, having integrity is not situational, which unfortunately a lot of people think it's a situational thing. And I learned that early on. I don't know if I was rich or poor growing up. I don't know. We didn't know. It wasn't about the money. It was about being together with family and

My parents made it very... I don't know if they did it, but we always wanted to be with our cousins and our uncles and aunts. Still today, we are with our cousins, our uncles and aunts. My kids are today, their best friends are their cousins and their uncles and aunts. And so the best thing they gave me was that, the ability to know good from bad, which is a big deal.

Because a lot of people will know the difference, but they choose bad, which is scary. But... My parents taught me everything I needed about being a good person. And with that became the work ethic. I mean, I remember my dad used to take us out of school. He used to come to grade school and get Rodney and I out of school because he had self-service car washes and they would freeze up.

I mean, I remember my dad used to take us out of school. He used to come to grade school and get Rodney and I out of school because he had self-service car washes and they would freeze up.

And he needed hands to get them to not freeze up. And so we just didn't know any better. I mean, that's just what we did. We worked and we loved it. So literally, I started with everything. So if I could give my kids something, I think I've done that. My wife has done that, is... They have that same goodness inside their heart and that same work ethic.

I want everyone to take a tour. I don't want people just to sign up. It makes me sad. A friend of mine came in when I was walking up here for this. I saw Lee, and he's like, oh, I was explaining the floor to him because the floor has all these lines. It's a travertine floor, and it has all these lines in it, and they go like this, and I'm like, oh, you know that's...

to scale the streets of Beverly Hills. And you can see all the names and like all three, I'm like, oh my God. That made me sad. Because I spent so much energy and time to make that. And there's so many cool things like that in this restaurant that are specific to Beverly Hills. I want everyone to take a tour. I don't want people to sign up and say, oh, I'm already a member.
