And creating these visions and then executing upon them. And I was seeing results and I was like, wow. But also anytime I saw a setback, a discouragement, I'll tell you one story real quick. So when I was living with my dad, I moved in with him and his new wife when I was 10 years old. Was it 10? No, it was eight. Eight years old.

And very quickly I realized it wasn't an environment conducive for success. My stepmom was jealous of my mom, my dad's side of the family. She was mentally abusive, verbally abusive. It was bad. And I had threats coming my way as a kid. I realized after a few years, that I had an option to get out, and I shouldn't be in this situation. So my mom filed court papers to get me back to move with her.

So I went back to my room, waited for him, and he said, hey, you know what? Now, my dad was a, he was my hero. He had these big forearms and rough hands, hard worker. And he always had a wad of $100 bills in his pocket all the time. Seems it's a very Italian Philly thing to have. He'd show us money all the time. Benjamin Franklin was like, no, that was awesome. And I always won a lot of those.

Well, he came back in the room when he confronted me and he pulled that wad of $100 bills out. He peeled one off and he crumpled it up and he threw it at me. He said, here, you're going to need this when you're living on the streets with your mother then one day. And I was like, Cal, what did I just do? Did I make a mistake? All these thoughts go. At eight years old. No, I was 10 at this point.

All right. Now, still. Still, 10 years old. Yeah, man. Not exactly the seasoned vet at 10. No, but I said, you know, what did I just do? And then all of a sudden it came to me. Wait a minute, dude. You're not going to need that money. Like, you're not going to need that money. Like, let's show him. This is like stuff running through my head, man.
