And from that moment forward, I said, how can I be a great son to my father?

How could I be a great older brother slash substitute father for my two sisters and my younger brother?

How could I be there for my mother?

How could I be there for my father's business?

And I just went into battle mode, and I put my eyes

I put my armor on and I just ran into it.

And for the next two years, every day was painful.

I mean, I was dealing with banks.

I was dealing with the company who still had subpoenas.

I was still in law school.

I told my father I wanted to drop out of law school and business school, but he said, please don't.

So I would...

basically go to law school one day a week, or maybe I'd skip it most days and I'd go to his office every day.

And my friends would joke that if my professors wanted to fail me, the law professor would have to give me a test that had four pictures and say, circle who your professor is.

But I would basically take a week off, I'd read the books and I did well and I got my degrees.

And it was just a very, very challenging time.

But like I said to you before, is that you learn the most about life and you learn the most about humanity

and yourself when you're in your most challenging periods.

And I'll say that that experience also changed the people I interacted with.

Spending weekends with my father down in a prison in Alabama, I met the other inmates, I met their families.
