When Vince and Damon John call them, they're going to get discounts and things for free and friendships and favors because Damon's been doing it for decades. Vince has been doing it for decades.

They have the experience. And so while I'm trying to figure out how to start a clothing line, and I'm like, should I order small, medium, large, XL, XXL, XXXL, XXXL? How many should I order? Should I order 3,000 samples or 1,000 samples? Wait, I only need 40 samples? I'm going to be paying the dummy tax. You know how I know? When I was 18 years old, I paid the dummy tax.

I paid $36,000 for 12 sweaters. When I was 18 years old, I paid $36,000 for 12 sweaters. And a leather jacket manufacturer charged me $21,000 for 12 jackets. Why? I was 18 years old.

And I went to these manufacturers, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, and they just overcharged me. And I paid the dummy tax. And then later it led me to my real manufacturer, Christopher Wicks, who I'm still friends with today. And he was the guiding light to help me with every little detail to save me 10 cents on things.

Every little reason why the plastic should be this way, why the box is this way, why is the hanger this way. By the way, quick side note, if you sell to Walmart and your hanger is facing left instead of right, they'll charge you 25 cents per unit. So if you ship them 120,000 units, they just send you an actual bill to pay them back 30 grand because your hanger is the wrong way.

The last question is related to charity. Why do you think it's important for people to have a charity philanthropic part of their company, their brand, or with their employees? Why is it important for the culture to have some type of charity component?

All right, guys, really, really important to have discussions with your friends, family, and followers about money. We all grew up thinking it's rude to talk about money. I think that's ridiculous. You have to have discussions about accounting, taxes, loans. What happens if I don't pay this? What happens if I borrow money from my friend and I don't get a contract? Should I split the rent?

Should I split the bills? It's real life. Bills are your real life. Medical bills, insurance, these are all part of your daily life.
