  • His brother is a real one for helping raise his son while he was locked up even though they didn’t have a relationship.
  • I liked how he was making 3 mil a year and then when he got his girl pregnant he was like “damn idk if I can afford it” and hustled harder lol
  • This guy's story is inspiring. I went through a 10 year period with severe mental illness sucking my life down the tubes...it defined everything about me. One day I was on a street corner a drug dealer had taken my car. I was in debt up to my eyeballs with people you didn't need to be in debt too. Called my case manager gave her a full accounting of what I was struggling with and I was sent in patient treatment with 6 months of therapy 5 hours a day. Turned my life around I'm out of debt, a college graduate, and I'm getting my insurance license.

    I got in trouble for selling Reese’s out of my locker in 6th grade, so I guess you could say we’re similar.
