I think there's intention, there's some validity to it all, like some of the things I said, from national security and employment and other things.

But the result has been...

Oh, wow.

Yeah, well, my mom's a great entrepreneur.

She started and sold two companies in the biotech, biochemistry space in Washington, D.C., and so I...

Plus my brother and I had this job.

It was like our first job was delivering soda to our office, like stacking the snacks cabinet and the sodas and stuff.

So we would basically just buy the stuff at a giant, it's like Safeway, and then market up 2X and sell it to our- Put it in your little cart?

Yep.

Yeah.

And my dad's minivan, we would stack up the back of the trunk full of cases of Coke and Diet Coke.

And then my dad taught us to write software.

He was a programmer, so we-

wrote software to generate the invoices so she could submit the expenses to the IRS or whatever and make sure she got the tax deduction on our allowance.

It was kind of easy money.

I mean, you buy this case for four and sell it for nine, make five bucks on every case that I deliver.

Yeah, super boring because they were talking about biochemistry and food safety and regulations.

I couldn't understand any of it.

I think I'm still like a very fast eater as a result.

I was trying to get out of there as quickly as I could.
