I was getting gear for half off.

This was beautiful.

The Jordans that I did want, I was able to buy them myself.

So I gained this like structure that I feel started from young where I'm like, OK, now I have finances.

I'm able to not ask my mom for things and I have a little freedom.

You know, at a very young age where kids my age are just worried about going to the park.

I gained this hustle mentality from my mother.

Time passes.

My girlfriend in high school, she tells me, hey, listen, my mom and my dad have a job opportunity at JFK Airport where you can power wash the terminals and take away the little gum that is sticking on the terminals for the air train.

It's from 5 p.m.

to 10 p.m.

and they're paying $100 a day.

So I'm like, okay, this is perfect.

I can go right in and she's like, yeah, I'll introduce you and we'll make it work.

As a high schooler, 15 years old, making $100 a day after school and not getting in the way of my academics.

My mom's for it.

It's my girlfriend's mom.

So there's a supervisor level to it where my mom knows this is safe.

This is real, legit money.

Regardless of them having me in JFK at such a young age, they made it work.
