So, you know, I come from South Florida, so I'm born and raised here.
Well, not here, but a little bit further north.
And, you know, my trajectory is I was supposed to be a lawyer.
That's kind of what I thought I was going to do.
I have both a master's degree and an undergraduate degree in criminal justice.
So I thought I was going to be like Aaron Brockovich, who ever remembers who that is.
But that's what I thought I was going to do.
We do, we do.
Okay, just making sure.
So that's where I was headed.
And unfortunately, in 2008, when I graduated, the economy had plummeted.
And at that time, I was already newly married.
I had my first child.
And we were desolate.
We lost everything.
We lost six businesses, six months.
We lost the house, the car, the Rolexes.
I mean, you name it, quick like that.
But at that point, we were very young.
I was 25 years old at that point.
