You ever seen those windmills? Yeah, the big ones, right? The big windmills? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, they're 300, 500 foot towers. I will climb three of them a day, six days a week. Like I said, I like challenges. You weren't scared.
No, I said, if I'm going to get out the service, I was like, I got to do something. I'm not going to be a bartender. It'll be security. I said, I'm going to do something big that's going to change my life forever. Man, I don't know if I'm going to keep doing this. That quick? Yeah, exactly. I was like, my body couldn't really take it at that point, you know?
Damn. Edgar Zavala here today. We're going to talk life insurance and Marines and your journey, man. Thanks for coming on. I appreciate it. Thanks so much, Sean, for having me on. It's a pleasure and it's an honor and I feel blessed. Absolutely. Long way from Brooklyn streets, huh?
Absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah. You know, I, uh, born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. And I mean, the journey that I've had from growing up in Brooklyn to now, I mean, it's, I can make a whole movie out of it, you know? So, um, Yeah, raised by a single mother. And I've seen her work super, super hard. And I just I was tired of seeing her work super, super hard. So I said, I got to do something.
I decided to join the military to get out of Brooklyn. And I've had a big story since then. And now I'm here.
so did you join because you were in poverty conditions and you wanted to yeah well i saw my mother i mean you know i grew up with a single mother so i saw her just you know working constantly constantly breaking her back and barely putting food on the table um and you know as a kid growing up i didn't i couldn't put it together like why am i you know i see my mother always gone and when she comes back that's the only time i can spend time with her after i get out of school but yeah we barely have stuff in the fridge or on the table and
I got tired of it. I didn't know what I wanted to be growing up. You know, like most kids, you know, you don't know what you want to be, right? I wanted to be growing up, but I told myself, I want to be the first baseball playing astronaut. I said, I would tell myself all the time. I said, I'm going to be the first. And then obviously, right. You know, that's kind of like out there.
So, but what I would do is I was still applying to colleges. I was a good student, you know, get good grades from my mom. And, but I knew right away, I was like, college is not for me. I got to do something different and give back and create fulfillment in myself. So the military was like the number one thing that I said, you know what? I kept seeing the commercials, like the few and the proud.
Yeah. Those are legendary. Yeah. Those, those commercials. So, so that's what got me. And I was like, yeah, I can see myself being a Marine. Yeah. went behind my mom's back to enlist. Oh, you didn't tell her? No, I didn't tell her. Why?
