My parents owned a business.

So I go to my old man, because I have visions of there's the BMW, there's the house, there's the presidency.

So I go to my tough old man from Boston.

I'm like, hey, dad, listen, I want to go to work for you.

He goes, no.

No, I'm like, dad, every old man wants their son to follow in their footsteps or legacy.

He's like, not this one.

And I'm looking at him like, what?

And he says to me, you've never once displayed any interest in the family company.

You don't come to me now right now and say you want to.

No, he said no.

I'm like, yeah, I'm like, what do I do?

I want to control my own fate, my own destiny.

And then radio is not fair.

Life's not fair.

So I talked him into it.

I wore him down.

Because I always had this kind of drive and passion.

I wore him down.

I worked on him for six months.
