It's not very difficult in Syracuse, even though it's a bigger city. It's, you know, this, we're not talking about in Cato suburbs. Yeah. And, um, There was an individual that I knew who I knew was an addict, who I knew was kind of a nefarious actor. But he had written me one of two people.

The other, my girlfriend, wrote me while I was in prison, sent me some money, like was trying to keep the tie, which I later learned was because he had an agenda and he had started a used car dealership and he was failing miserably. And he knew that that was my area of expertise. So he reaches out to me, goes, hey, I heard you got fired from Sam's. why don't you partner with me in this car thing?

Yeah. He goes, just basically you take my checkbook, you take the cars, you take the trailer, you do everything and we'll split it down the middle. So I chose to do that. Within about 11 months, I'd made us 360 grand, which in central New York was a decent living. Yeah. You know, we had to split it obviously, but I just, I was clicking now. I was back selling. I was doing it honestly.

We worked together. So he just knew. And he saw me in action. He just knew. Yes. And he saw that at, you know, for him, he came in, his company bought out my company that I worked for. And he came in and saw that there was a 21 year old guy sitting in the general manager seat. He's like, what the hell are you doing here? I said, I'm the general manager. He goes, no, that ain't going to last.

After a couple of weeks, he's like, you're pretty good at this, man. And then we made a lot of money together. And then he would start, you know, there'd be a few deals that he couldn't close. And I'd say, I'm going to come in and TO this deal. You ain't TOing my deal. If I can't get it, you can't get it. Until one day I said, you don't have a choice. I'm your boss.

I've never thrown my weight like this before, but I'm doing it now because that's a fucking deal. I went out there, I closed the deal. We came back in and I looked at him and I was just messing with him. I crumpled up the four square and bounced it off his head. And I said, yeah, I suck, don't I? He jumped across the desk.
