Yeah, I saw an opportunity to let a company buy my last name when my mom went through a divorce, my third father at the time, unfortunately.
And I was left with a name that I no longer wanted.
And what do you do?
And at the time, I was the I-wear-your-shirt guy.
I had been wearing T-shirts for a living, working with sponsors for four years.
And I said, screw it.
Let's sell my last name.
But you know, if I could sell t-shirts for a living, I got to be able to sell my last name and launched a website.
And believe it or not, first day, $33,000 was bid at the end of the first day.
And it was a 30-day auction that ended at 45 grand.
I went on to sell it a second time.
And I lived with a last name that was a brand's name for two years.
And my life changed in no way whatsoever.
That was the crazy thing.
That was headsets.com.
So my last name literally was headsets, D-O-T-C-O-M.
If you want to make a TSA agent laugh, that is the only way I have ever found out how is to have a ridiculous last name and they will laugh at you.
Yeah, no, I think that's a great way to go.
And listen, you know, the top try better than I do.
But I believe that with every idea it is.
