I did the same thing for a video like a month ago and it was no different.
I was, it was just cringe.
It was...
It was bad.
Yeah, so I was a student at the University of Alabama and I had learned about another business that was fixing iPhones from a retail location.
And they were bragging to the local news that they were making 20,000 a month.
And I'd been reading these business books.
I'd been like looking for my thing to start.
And for whatever reason, I said, I can do that.
I can fix phones.
And so right around the same time, one of my classmates gave me a broken iPhone and I saw like a flyer on the bulletin board for a guy that fixed iPhones.
And so I went to his dorm room and, um, I had him fix my iPhone in front of me and I asked him all kinds of questions.
And then I went and signed a five-year lease on, on a store.
So I went to all my previous bosses, um,
Because I didn't grow up around wealthy people.
My parents had no money.
And I basically said, hey, Danny, I want to start this business fixing iPhones.
This was 2010.
So iPhones were still very new.
No one thought it was viable.
