And I saw a hole in the market there.
My high school business was I would finance sweet 16s for anybody who wanted a sweet 16.
I did this for a couple of years between the years of me being 16 and 17 years old.
I would run out of venue.
I would get a DJ.
And my only condition was they can invite anybody they want.
It was going to be their birthday.
Their name was going to be on the banner.
The DJ was going to do shout outs to their name.
But I got to charge cover charge.
And I also got to make the party dramatically larger and invite anybody from every other high school in Marin County.
I turned this into a real business.
I would get the venue.
I'd get insurance for the venue.
I would go to the local gym and get the roided out meatheads.
I'd give them 50 bucks for the night.
They would block the side doors so nobody snuck in.
I spent so much money on the first party that my parents were worried that I was going to lose all my savings that I had saved up to throw that one event.
And the funny joke was I had a pencil box to collect all the cash.
And then within about 10 minutes of the party, there was too much cash.
