Very scary moment.
Built up a savings, a little nest egg to where if I fail or things don't work out, I can at least sustain living for X amount of months.
It was tough, man.
I didn't have the best childhood upbringing, and I was kind of at a crossroads in my life.
And then I had a really good rapport with my job.
working two jobs, barely making rent, 18, 19 years old.
I felt like I could go back if I had to.
So those were the things that kind of I played in my mind, like the scenarios.
One of my coworkers at BJ's Wholesale Club, she was like, you're really good talking to people.
Actually, the year I quit Capital One, I won sales.
I was salesperson of the year that year.
I just got fired from Capital One, but they're hiring, you should go to this job fair.
So it's like winning the Super Bowl and then retiring.
So I was like, they'll hire me back if I don't make it, right?
And one, I was like, they just fired you and you're still promoting the company.
So that gave me like that confidence, that safety net.
So that means you must have liked it.
And then two, I don't think they're going to hire me, but what do I got to lose?
But I would talk to some of my older coworkers.
They're like, you're going to go do what?
