And how am I going to pay back this loan shark who was very menacing and frightening to me at a very usurious rate? And I thought, I may have just sunk my ship.

So I thought, how can I think outside the box? And I thought... okay, remember that postage stamp? That was clever and it was thinking outside the box. And I will say, being clever doesn't prevent you from doing things that are stupid. What it does is it enables you to do more grandiose forms of stupidity, which is what I did in thinking, if I can recreate a postage stamp, what is money other than

That's very true. And I am integrally a Mormon. It's combed into my being. It's impossible for me to shed my Mormon skin. And so what I did in deciding then to print money to solve this problem, it was a performative contradiction. I know it was going against my faith, my personal beliefs, and my own inner core.

Yeah, one of my best friends in high school had started a small t-shirt printing company And I was talking to him and he said, you know what I did to get my t-shirt business started?
