If you walked into your parents' house in 1987 and said, dad, I wanna be a chef.

If you walked into your parents' house in 1987 and said, dad, I wanna be a chef.
your dad would have been like, you're gonna be a cook in a restaurant, you loser. But what would have happened is you could have gone on to become a famous chef which is what culture was 10 years ago. It's not as cool today to be a famous chef as it was 10 years ago. But it's still pretty cool and it's crazy compared to 1985 where your parents would have thought you were a cook.

Trying to give Dee some micro content for my Instagram. You know, but this is, I really like how I articulated that. Like that makes a lot of sense to me and that has been the benefit. You know, when I said to my dad, I want to open a dot com in 1996, my dad had never been on a computer at that point. I'm being serious right now. Had never physically used a computer at that point.

So he's, you know, 43 years old and has never in his life used a computer. So for him, to judge me deciding to launch a .com, I ended up being historically correct. I also luckily had an incredible father who at that point saw what I did in a liquor store from 14 to 21 and saw that I worked hard and I wasn't an idiot and I paid my dues and he gave me my opportunity to do that.

A lot of kids go into their family business and expect their parents to let them do something, but they didn't put in the seven years that I put in. People are always like, Gary, how'd you convince your dad to let you do those radical things? By working my face off from 14 to 22 by the time I was 20. Nobody understood that. So anyway, man, I'm really excited we're talking about this.

I think we just helped a lot of parents. I really mean that. And hearing that you have an 11 year old, he's more right than you are. Now, the key to this whole thing was, it's funny that I brought up 14 to 22. The key if your son wants to be a professional sports gambler or a sports card flipper or a sneaker flipper or an esports star or an Instagram celebrity is work ethic.
