I think I just got really good at like listening to my instincts because before there were manuals and social media, like that's all I had.

And so I think that served me.

I think it'll serve a lot of entrepreneurs if they really start to dial into what they already know and listen more.

Yeah, so my dad was a mechanic.

So he had a little small auto mechanic shop, he was self employed, it was just him working on cars.

And he had like, one helper, he called him, like, I think an independent contractor.

So every day I got dropped off at my dad's garage.

So every day after school, I didn't learn a sport.

I didn't go home.

I didn't have a snack.

Like I lived the rest of my day in the garage.

So I learned a lot of entrepreneurial skills.

I learned a lot of hard work.

I learned kind of like observing what my dad, even at 20, in his early 20s, you think about it.

When I was five, he was 24, you know, trying to figure out how to run a business on his own.

And I watched a lot of that.

So it didn't seem to be anything but natural for me to start a business when I was 19.

You know, even though he didn't build a big business, I knew that I wanted to because I watched him miss a lot of things.

I watched that he wasn't available to do things because he was always working, always at the garage.

And so I thought maybe there's a better way to do this.
