I tell people here I had highly educated, double degree, triple degree doctors.
And the same thing I did with this 18-year-old kid that barely got out of high school, with this professional, highly accomplished, fabulous doctor, treated him the same way, and it worked.
Just guess what?
They even beat him at the end of the day.
