There were five Moe's opened.

And I think we were the sixth and they were all company owned stores.

And we opened up the first franchise in Florida and just went with it and went for it.

And it was a scary ride.

It was a scary time.

It was a faithful time in many ways, because I was praying every day to please get people in this store.

I got to support my family.

I got to feed my kids.

My kids are tired of eating burritos every night because we can't afford anything else.

It was definitely a wild and crazy time, but eventually opened up four Moe's, sold one off, and then I sold three of them in 2005.

I asked myself, John, do I want to do this for the rest of my life?

I have these number of stores.

I can get to 10.

I can get to 20.

Just like you could have been the ice cream man.

I could have been the burrito guy and had all these Moe's.

Ultimately, I said, no, that's not what I really want to do.

I want to be a writer and speaker.

I want to do this work.

I want to make a difference.
