My dad worked for Clear Channel for 30 years. He won like seven Addy Awards. He is highly recognized in the radio industry. He helped break out the Ullman Brothers. All this amazing stuff that my father did. And when he retired, he had to deliver pizza in order to stay afloat. And I was in my mid-20s. And at the time, I was also delivering pizza. I was living in Chicago. I always had this dream. I just thought it was unfair that someone who had achieved so much, who was so good at what they do, was not paid well. in accordance with that.

I love jujitsu, I love playing pool, no time for that. So let alone, retiring them. And the most I ever made delivering pizza was 500 bucks a week. And then I had what I call hell week.
