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.

This is where parents often make the mistake in reverse. When I turned 14, I was a bad student. I was already a baseball card entrepreneur. My mom and dad looked at me and said, you now work in the liquor store every day. You're not gonna Harvard big shot? That means you're gonna have to work. You might as well start now.

So now you have a kid that's getting D's and F's, but he's telling you, mom, don't worry, I'm gonna be the next Mark Zuckerberg. Mark Zuckerberg sold CDs. Mark Zuckerberg built apps when he was a kid. There's a second part of this conversation that's not being talked about. I've never talked about it. I'm pumped for putting this on film as well.

If you're gonna let your kid be an entrepreneur, and that's the path, I want that kid to actually work. So what job do you want these kids to get? Either a business that actually makes money that they're doing by themselves, that's fine. Get a joint account. Show me, Ricky. Not ideas, ideas. Execution. You got a business this summer?
