I could beat these guys in a fight. I could beat these guys in nine out of 10 things, maybe not in finance, maybe not in business, but I'm going to learn everything I can from them in those subjects. So I showed up very aggressive. I was intense. I was there to get the information out of them, to extract what I possibly could so that I could achieve my objectives. Just unapologetic about

Because I showed up to a person, it's like I sized the person up and I'd say, if we were in a street fight, you would not be disrespecting me right now. So I'm showing up to you with respect. I want the information that you have. I need the help that you have. But I was man to man in those meetings. I wasn't afraid of those people.

So I was raised by a grandmother that was very faith-driven. She taught me the foundational values. But when my family got addicted to drugs, I strayed from it. I also was partying and living like a rock star. Then when I started making tens of millions a year, I was really living like a rock star, you know, decadent life. And I got completely away from it. Then my mom died.

And as she was dying, I made a commitment to her. I confessed to her. She died tragically. She fell down a flight of stairs. She was in a coma for two years. I couldn't see her all the time. And I was partying like a rock star. And so sometimes I wouldn't go see her. And I was out partying in Vegas and doing crazy stuff. And I felt bad about that. I had guilt about that.

And so as she was dying, I told her, the reason why I haven't been able to see you is because I've been living this double life. I'm not the son you think I am. And on the other side, you're going to see everything. And I'm going to change. I'm going to honor you. I'm going to do things differently. And that then broke me wide open.

When she passed away, I broke, hit the rock bottom of all rock bottoms from an emotional and mental and spiritual level. took two years off of work, went and rebuilt myself, prayed, meditated every day, nonstop until I was ready to go back out there and reenter the world of entrepreneurship. And I did so through mentorship. I decided day one, I was just going to start mentoring people.
