Jay "Jeezy" Jenkins

My first entrepreneurial job was cutting trees.

lawns in the neighborhood.

I had a lawnmower that I bought, spent about $20 for it.

Yeah, my uncle helped me fix it up.

And I would take me and my little crew used to go around, cut people's yards for $5, $10, stuff like that.

That's like my first thing where I had money.

Then, if you know anything about the South and Georgia, watermelons are a big thing.

So I would go out and get these trucks with my uncles and we would throw watermelons.

So you would go out in the field and you pick watermelons and you throw them, throw them, throw them back until they end up on the truck.

And then you just keep that going.

Then you go on the side of the road and you would sell the watermelons.

I make like $20 a day.

Yeah.

Well, I would make $20.

Right.

We pick, you know, maybe a hundred watermelons a day.

Yeah.

And then you might not sell them all, but you might sell some here at this place, some here, there.

When you get done, they would just pay everybody.

But the reason why I say entrepreneur, because it's my uncle's company.
