Metta World Peace

I remember that time.

It was the most fun because we're all together, you know, versus like, you know, being in a three bedroom, which is still crowded.

But we didn't have that contact all the time.

I had opportunities to be prepared.

Like I had Mr. Ernest Lodge who has a not so positive story out there.

But for me, he paid for me to go to high school.

And we were moving as professional athletes as 13 years old, 14 years old, as professional athletes.

So I was prepared in many different ways.

He also introduced me to one of my agents who are friends now.

I wasn't with him the whole time.

And then I also had finance people from Wall Street.

But when somebody from Wall Street is telling you as a 17-year-old kid, you know, I'm coming straight from Queensbridge, right?

Now I'm going to work at Wall Street because I had a job.

And when somebody is telling you, oh, here's how you work stocks and here's how you do this.

Now, my major was going to be architecture.

I knew that.

But I was only majoring in architecture to build community centers.

It wasn't to be a businessman.

It wasn't to understand ins and outs, you know, and all this stuff.

It was only to build community centers.
