It's like, kids, do you know what that motherfucker did?

That's like in 300 years, like Adolf being the most popular name specifically because it was like, bro, did you hear what he did to the Jews?

Like that guy was a legend.

It's like, what?

So this is where the value system that people have on display is so wacky to me because I look at that and go, I love the empathy.

I love when somebody wants to love somebody else and wants to take care of them, that's awesome.

And then I'm also the guy that I used to hire

convicted felons, they had a chance.

It wasn't like I hired them because they were convicted felons.

But I said, listen, it doesn't matter.

If you have convictions on your record, no worries.

My whole spiel is to this day, it doesn't matter who you are, it matters who you want to become and the price you're willing to pay to get there.

And so brought all kinds of problem people into my company.

And I found myself having to run sting operations because people were stealing from me.

We were constantly having to quell violence.

I mean, it just got wild.

And so you just go like, hey, I used to do this thing, but you will notice I don't do that thing anymore.

So it's like I saw firsthand that there is some percentage of those people for whom giving them a second chance is some of the most meaningful things I think I'll ever do in my life.

And so I get it like there's one guy, it's his family that needs to tell his story.

Lord knows if they're listening and I can ever help them tell that story, I would do it in a heartbeat.
