I want to make my wife proud of me. I was like, let's do this. And long story short, the business fails, right? So I'm at this point, I'm below zero financially, back on credit cards, back on taxes. We moved my pregnant wife and are now two kids into the loft of my wife's parents' garage. So my two little babies sleep in the closet. My wife and I are sleeping in the room.
I have two part-time jobs. So I went back and got my old Bible sales job back, tail between my legs, went back, hey guys, can I like come back, you know? And then I went and got another job. So I had a job during the weekdays at night and then a job on the weekends, you know, and you're just hustling. You're just trying to make a dollar. You're trying to keep the family afloat, the whole thing.

But I still had dreams and I still had goals and I got enough courage to start a second business. You're basically burning the candle at both ends. My wife and I had six pregnancies. We have four babies. So she had a stillborn birth and a miscarriage. She was four for four C-sections.

And my wife, from the moment she would get pregnant until delivery, she would have that, like, basically the worst version of morning sickness, but it would last the whole nine months.
