Sheriff's note on the door.

I had played out every card I could.

I burned every one.

I was borrowing from Peter to pay Paul to keep the TV on.

You know.

And...

As I always tell my kids, this isn't, it's not like I was just a guy making $50,000 a year that became a drug addict and lost it all.

I was at the high of highs you only see in movies and the low of lows you only see in movies.

I was a Bowery bum living in squalor.

Wow.

And completely turned my life around.

One thing I, you know, honestly, I reinvented myself.

I was gifted from my dad to have what he would say, golden hands.

I built furniture.

I put a full workshop in my basement.

My father could do anything.

He too, you know, he was in a garment center.

He ended up opening up 10 fabric stores and a warehouse with a partner.

And his partner was a Jewish guy that was like a little connected.
