And, you know, Ronnie.

Ronnie Lifsholtz.

He had a Cadillac.

And when he was just suddenly gone, like, my sister and I, who's, you know, a year, 16 months younger than me, it was just like, it was almost funny.

Like, how could this be?

His estate was a complete mess.

He had sort of two wills.

I burned one, my sister, because we didn't want our uncle Jerry as our executor because we knew he was not up to it.

And so I hired my own accountant, and that was a total mess.

We never collected my dad's life insurance because it was contested by the life insurance company.

over his smoking, his cigarette smoking.

There was no recourse for two teenagers back then.

There was no GoFundMes.

You know, you put in whatever fight you could, but we were just like victims of circumstance.

And I just didn't want to be a victim.

I wanted to be a winner in life.

I wanted to have a positive outlook.

I wanted to make the most of my life, because as I saw, it could end any second.

You know, college is like a reboot for everybody, right?

So some people change their name, they change their look.
