And if you want to get into a little bit of your story, so, you know, let our listeners know who you are.
9:43
Yeah, so I grew up in Danbury, Connecticut.
9:46
I was born in New York City, but my family raised us in Connecticut.
9:52
Grew up mom, dad, brother, family dog, family vacations.
10:00
It was a really good upbringing.
10:01
It was in a gated Jewish community.
10:03
I'm half Jewish.

One of the guys across from me, I'm here, he's there, knocks on the table, uh, or bangs on it, and looks at me, and he's like, "Hey, you." And I turn around thinking he's looking at someone else.
27:33
I'm like, "I, uh, you can't be talking about me.
27:35
I just got here." Bangs again.
27:37
He's like, "You, I'm talking to you." And he says, "What are you here for?" I said, "Oh, I'm here for fraud, you know, three-year sentence." And he's like, "Hmm, that's what they all say." And at this time I, I'm like, I don't know what that's, what they all say even means.
27:52
So he's like, "Do you got your paperwork?" And I'm like, "Well, what kind of paperwork are you talking about?" Uh, he's like, "Your paperwork, you know, sentencing s- transcript, this and that." He's like, I don't know.
28:01
I'm like, "Well, maybe we can ask one of the guards."

Donc, quand tu te dis que tu ne vas pas s'appliquer à l'université et que tu vas y aller parce que tu aimes vraiment ça, est-ce que c'était toujours dévastant ou ils avaient de la confiance en toi en tant qu'entrepreneur ? Donc,
13:38
ce qui s'est passé, c'était qu'en année junior, ils m'ont dit, pourquoi ne pas aller à Johnson Wales parce que j'avais intérêt à l'hospitalité.
13:45
Pour le week-end, ils m'ont payé pour aller à la campus de Florida à Miami pour faire un de ces choses, voir si tu aimes ça.
13:51
J'ai passé le week-end là et ils nous ont mis à la Fountain Blue.
13:54
Oui, à Miami.
13:56
C'est magnifique.
13:56
Et ils ont dit que c'était là où on pouvait obtenir un internat.
18:15
Pourquoi les enfants
4:25
So people just see you, and then they subscribe that they wanna do it, and then you're hand selecting who you want?
4:30
So we'll look for stories, uh, like what are good stories.
4:33
We'll prioritize people that, like, reach out in the DM with a good story too.
4:37
Um, I'm kinda driving away from just addiction stories 'Cause I wanna look at it as like does it have a beginning, a middle, and end? With an addiction story where they didn't serve, like, prison time, it's kind of all over the place.
4:48
Granted, there are some good addiction stories, but there's also a lot of addiction type podcasts.
4:53
But where if you have someone that did 20 years in prison, you have their childhood which is the beginning, then you have the crime which is like the arc, then the prison sentence, and then getting out and turning their life around.
5:03
And now I've branched so far into, you know, you have a lot of law enforcement.
