So I had a very unusual childhood in the sense that I ended up moving out of my house when I was 14, sent myself to boarding school, and I got myself out of a household of chaos. So when you're in that kind of environment, you have to stand up for yourself and be independent on your own. And so I was always involved in entrepreneurial endeavors and making sure I could support myself and get myself to a different place in the world. I saw the dreams of building businesses that my parents established, but then also knew that I had to survive on my own. And in order to improve my own life, I was just going to have to do it on my own. I only went to three years of high school because I needed the work. I needed to put myself through school.

I had this pink Barbie convertible and David Cassidy, I'm like a 70s kid, so this is like 1976. David Cassidy would pull up as a customer and I was the bank teller.
