I was the youngest guy in the caucus, the conference of mayors.

So being a young guy in the room,

sometimes with a chip on my shoulder, fighting for some respect, you know, was something that gives me this real, real idea that, you know, you got to nurture young people.

You got to give them an opportunity.

You got to let them be who they are.

That's touching, Mick, because sometimes you never know if people are watching you.

You never know if people are listening.

You never know if you're having an impact.

I mean, you know, I was able to, you know, I was a young entrepreneur.

First venture was 15 years old.

It was a summer janitorial service at three friends.

We got together.

We cut grass.

We cleaned cars.

We cleaned windows.

We waxed floors and houses in the neighborhood I grew up in.

And then later on,

another friend of mine, we actually incorporated a company and we were party and special event planners, right?

At 18, 19, 20, 21 years of age, we were event planners.

You know, we would rent out clubs.
