I'm doing door to door sales, selling credit card processing, all this stuff.
Right.
My buddy at UCLA was going to go start a real estate brokerage, but his point was like, let me go learn it first.
Don't just let's do it together because I don't know what's going to happen.
Yeah, smart.
He's like, just go get a job for a little bit.
Like go get any job, doesn't really matter because then we'll start this brokerage together.
So I kind of didn't care what job I initially got.
And so I went and interviewed for this company who basically was like a training company to start your own company.
And basically they give you the clientele, you run your own company.
And I would love that.
And that kind of started this like, oh, bro, I can go build it.
And it can be about me back to the ego and the like chip on your shoulder.
I can do this and I can.
And so I did that really well until I didn't because that also brought me to Boston, Massachusetts.
Try going door to door as a California boy in Boston, Massachusetts during the winter.
Bro, I'm wearing tights, thermals, wool suit, wool jacket, like door to door, all winter.
And so it was brutal.
I caught pneumonia.
And, of course, at the age of 24 or whatever I was, like I didn't have health insurance.
