I never wanted to be an entrepreneur. I saw my dad as an entrepreneur and it was like struggle or, you know, we were either like, hey, let’s go buy new cars or not enough money to pay the bills. So there was always that struggle and I didn’t like that. So I had a typical nine-to-five job forever. And then my mom got sick and, you know, she was in the hospital. She went missing one night. She had Alzheimer’s. And that kind of shifted me. That really was the catapulting event that made me go, I need to start my own business so I can be there for my mom. So I’m not the person like, I want to be an entrepreneur, you know, oh, I can’t wait to do this.
