It's tough to hear that.
i'm informing you of this you weren't aware of it well i'll give you the sales part of it but the hospitality part of it again i i think in the environment that i was in at the time i wasn't flourishing in the hospitality business just because i had other interests but now i mean i would love to open up a small boutique hotel and because i love hotels and i love like
I'm the type of guy, I go to a hotel and I see something that they do, I'm going to incorporate that in my own life or I'm going to do that when somebody else comes over to my house.
I think that's a nice touch.
Yeah, I mean...
Although I started working in the hospitality business at 16 at the Olive Garden.
I was working as a waiter there.
I was working at Marriott Hotels and the banquet rooms.
So hospitality and customer service has always been in my blood, but it's just at this level in Beverly Hills, it was a little bit of a shock coming from Chicago.
Yeah, I go back to the Four Seasons because I needed money, and my father bailed me out.
I was $10,000 in debt.
My father gave me 10 grand, but I had to pay every cent back, and he was so meticulous about keeping track of what I owed him on a pizza napkin.
I remember calling him, going, how much do I owe you?
You owe me $8,700.
To the cent you got this?
And, you know, at the time I was like, I'm going to pay you back because I don't I don't like the feeling of owing anybody anything.
So I wanted to make it whole.
And a lot of parents probably would have just said, here's the 10 grand.
But my father made me pay it back.
And I applaud him for that just because it just it wasn't a here thing.
