So 45 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: you know, we used to have a bakery called Columbus 46 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: Bakery and it was right around the corner from where 47 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: we went to school Columbus Columbus Bakery now not Crumbs, um, 48 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: and we would go get cookies every day after school 49 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: and uh for lunch or for lunch even and uh, 50 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: one day, um, I just wanted some cookies. At DD 51 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: one seventy two, I saw an interview what you said that. 52 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,399 Speaker 1: I was like, how high was he? He really wanted 53 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 1: to He was like I really wanted this one. I 54 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 1: am a cookie head, you know, so I'll always eat cookies, 55 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 1: Like if they're there, I'm eating them. Yeah. Yeah, I definitely, 56 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 1: Oh my god, because cookies don't even matter. These cookies, 57 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: these cookies, and yeah, these cookies. I mean, we have 58 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: a great chef of Vico or Taka. He is amazing. 59 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: I mean he just knows how to make any pastry, 60 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: any bread. He's incredible. So all the capital the startup 61 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: business came from throwing aparties. Yes, and then you use 62 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: that to pay people to bake the cookies. And well 63 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: what we did was we partnered up with a lot 64 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: of different people. So, in my opinion, the way you 65 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: start a businesses you want to bring in the people 66 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: with the talent, you know, the experts. Yeah, exactly. So 67 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: we have a great designer, Marcus Allen. We partnered with 68 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: Vico and we just built this brand together. And that's 69 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: what you paid wages and bakers just off the point. No, 70 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: we just kept flipping it. Yeah, but before we even 71 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: had a package, we were into Fairway Market, which is 72 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: like the biggest market in the city probably, So we 73 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: went in there with a tray of cookies and they 74 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: just liked the cookies so much that they were like, 75 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 1: all right, pack it up really well for me. Yeah, yeah, 76 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: they were. They were impressed. I mean, you know, we 77 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: were nineteen years old. It's kind of hard to say no, 78 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: a nineteen year old I guess now what you what 79 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: you said, it's very important, but you said, but it 80 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,559 Speaker 1: depends who you have got behind you. So your fathers 81 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: in the restaurant business, your father of course, the DamID Dash. 82 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: How could some kids who don't have those kind of 83 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: connections do what you got are doing well. I will 84 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: say that the hustle is probably more than ours. So 85 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: we got it easy because our fathers paid the way 86 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 1: for us. But hey, we met a bunch of kids 87 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: who were hustling just like us and just keep pushing. 88 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: Like all, because somebody says no one time doesn't mean 89 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: that you failed and stopped the business is you fail 90 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: a lot to get successful. It's not like a straight 91 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: successful successful pass. You don't hit one out the park immediately, exactly. 92 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: It takes a while. We've been doing this for like 93 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: five years. Restaurant that your restaurants in Jersey, our own 94 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: restaurants restaurant. Because I know you guys are doing a lot. 95 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: Can you guys be in and oversee everything that's going on? 96 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,679 Speaker 1: As Like I said, there's a lot of partners involved, 97 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: you know, So that would be my answer to your 98 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: question as well. Um, if you can bring something to 99 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: the table, you know, partner with someone who could bring 100 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 1: something else to the table. You know, maybe you have 101 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: the talent, but somebody else has the finances, exactly like 102 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: I can't. Like I'm not a good cook, you know, 103 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: so we brought Vico in and I can't reach the 104 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 1: masses by myself, like he can't, you know, so betweens. 105 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 1: I know how to now I've learned. But yeah, but 106 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: we got We brought in another chef, actually, the chef 107 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: of Clyde Frasier's, which I think you did events there.

This is kind of the 169 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: core of allowing us to go and do things in 170 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: our own. It might not it might not be us 171 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: starting our own radio station, per se, but we all 172 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 1: have our own separate ventures that our own. And the 173 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: one thing that people missed at your pop said, there's 174 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: nothing wrong with taking the capital that you make from 175 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 1: another place and investing it in the other things that 176 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 1: you want. And if you I'm not gonna watch to 177 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: walk away from a six seven figure job. And the 178 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: most the most important thing about being a boss is 179 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: having good employees behind you. I mean that is the 180 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: most important. So there's definitely no shame in being an employee. 181 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: But there's certain people that were born to be employees 182 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: and born to be bosses. But but you can't be 183 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: a good boss if you don't have great employees. And 184 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,839 Speaker 1: that's the bottom line. Did y'all get any backlash for 185 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: y'all employees like yo, what your father said? No, they 186 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: actually loved it. They're like, yo, I want to be 187 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: a boss now. Inspire it's inspiring. After that interview, people 188 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: started like coming up and Eddie's a chef all of 189 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,599 Speaker 1: a sudden, And then don't they make it difficult for 190 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 1: y'all though you got chiefs and Indians. Though I'm talking 191 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,079 Speaker 1: about this as far as like with the employee, you 192 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: gotta have chief Indians. You know what the shame in 193 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: this in the world nowadays is when you're born, you're 194 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: you're you're answering to your your parents. Then when you 195 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: go to school, you're answering to a teacher, and you 196 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 1: go to college, you're answering to a professor. You know, 197 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,439 Speaker 1: you're always answering to someone, and then you're still answering 198 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: to to taxes and the government. And after a while 199 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: you say, Okay, you know what, if I'm going to 200 00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,199 Speaker 1: make my own money, I want I don't want to 201 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: answer to someone. And you're always going to be answering 202 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: to your consumer and your customer. And that's the most 203 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: important thing about being a boss that in the employees, 204 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 1: and I think in the early stages in your life, 205 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,079 Speaker 1: it's more you're learning, you know obviously, like you go 206 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: to school, because you're learning from somebody who is supposed 207 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 1: to be teaching you that you're learning. But but after 208 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: a while, you know, for me, at least, I just 209 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: can't college. I didn't know what I wanted to do 210 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: when I got out, but when I was there, I 211 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: took a lot of different courses that helped me define 212 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: what it was that I was most interested in and 213 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: then home that talent. That's why I respect what y'all 214 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 1: doing because it seems like y'all are focused, y'all know 215 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: what it is y'all want to do, and that's very 216 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: hard to find for kids y'all age, right, Yeah, I 217 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: mean there's knowing our age we're doing. That's actually what 218 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: they're doing is though. But you know what one thing 219 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: that Dame said that I agreed on is he feels 220 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: that we should invest in ourselves and make sure that 221 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: people put money to the side and invest. We do, no, 222 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: I know we do, I know we do, but we 223 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:57,959 Speaker 1: usually don't do that, and young people usually don't do 224 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: that unless it's inherited or talk from family members like 225 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: my parents. You know, they worked on their life. That 226 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: wasn't me. I'm a little different. But like you know, 227 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: the only thing that I didn't like what he said was, 228 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: you know, people get misconstrued when people go back and 229 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 1: forth and argue. And when he said that people who 230 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: work don't have dignity people you know, people and proud 231 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: in their job and themselves, people really take that really 232 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: harshly because they work every day, you know. I mean 233 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: a lot of people don't have a dad like Dame 234 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: Dash or like yours who has money, so they gotta 235 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: work to put some money to the side to save 236 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: so they can create their own. A lot of people 237 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: took that a little harsh was really upset by that, 238 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, you know what I think he's 239 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: He's an inspiring guy. He is, and he the best 240 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 1: worst life coach ever means been the best for us. 241 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: The only reason we're sitting here is because of him 242 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: and my father and our partner's father, our partner Sam. 243 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 1: He's another reason why we are able to do what 244 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,839 Speaker 1: we do. That and hit me on Instagram was like, hey, 245 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 1: we said, because that's why mentorship is very importantly. Now, 246 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 1: what about you as as sons of people who are 247 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: successful in business, do you ever feel like you have 248 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: to teach them something because you know you are the 249 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 1: younger generation. It's a different kind of parents. Yeah, all 250 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: the time, because I'm sure you have to go back 251 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: and be like, Okay, you guys need to be more 252 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: active doing this and to what are some things? You 253 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: would say? My father's seventy one so ended in late yeah, 254 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: and he's in better shape than everyone in this room too, 255 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: which is probably which is the craziest thing. But you 256 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: know he's he listens, you know, but you can't just say, like, 257 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: if you're Joe Schmoe and you're going to talk to 258 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: your father, why isn't gonna listen to you? You know, 259 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 1: I think after a while, you know, when you accomplish 260 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 1: something and you you do something that no one at 261 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 1: your age can do, that they'll listen to you. You know, 262 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: Like I'm in a position now where I can do 263 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: a lot of different things to help him and his 264 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 1: company grow, right because he probably has more of a 265 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 1: traditional business stance from how he was. You know, the 266 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: way my dad's business is run is is he just 267 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: wants the customer to be happy. So the kind of 268 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 1: things that he's done that I've seen him do, I 269 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,719 Speaker 1: think he's crazy. But like the be people that will 270 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 1: be driving to to a restaurant and then the restaurant 271 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 1: will be closed, he'll pay for the gas, you know, 272 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 1: he'll he'll put them in a hotel for the night. 273 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, and that's the best. BA. I will 274 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: always go back to that restaurant, and then you'll tell 275 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: someone about it, and then that person will tell someone 276 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: else about it. You know. It's like if someone like 277 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: some guy ordered some cookies in the bag opened in 278 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: the mail. You know that's not my fault, but I 279 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: just sent him three more back the next day. You know, 280 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: it's all about the customer, right, absolutely, no business exactly. 281 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: Y'all got a polar polar free thos that's coming h 282 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: that's going to translates to in English?

Thirty three point three three three 378 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: three three buns.

So, you know, and I wanted to answer 381 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 1: your question about becoming a boss. You know, if there's 382 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: certain people like my father. He's a high school dropout, Yeah, 383 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: and he worked yet he worked in clubs and he's 384 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,959 Speaker 1: just a people person. So his partner right now, he 385 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: used to let into the clubs and one day he 386 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: bumped into him on the street. And that guy gave 387 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,640 Speaker 1: my dad an opportunity to become a boss. And his 388 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:45,640 Speaker 1: work ethic proved to Michael Weinstein that he could run 389 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: a company. So we are people that work with us 390 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:53,639 Speaker 1: right now that we see in the future could potentially 391 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:58,239 Speaker 1: be a very important piece to the puzzle, you know, 392 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,120 Speaker 1: And these are these are people that will be bosses. 393 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: They have those leadership qualities, Yeah, they have leadership qualities. 394 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 1: You know. We got a guy who who comes to us. 395 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 1: You need anything, You need anything. Every single time I 396 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,959 Speaker 1: see him, you need anything, that's Eddie. That's Eddie. And 397 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: he's becoming a chef. And best believe, when we open 398 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: a store, he'll be running a store. And that's how 399 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: you become a boss. When you got to prove yourself. 400 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: You know, you can't be lazy, because nowadays everyone's just lazy, 401 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 1: and interns will go on to do great. Yeah, of 402 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 1: course they are here because I do feel like, even 403 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 1: when you're working somewhere, if you're not getting paid in 404 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: it's an internship, you should still treat it like you 405 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: are because you know who is watching. You should still 406 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: learn everything you possibly can and actually care about it. 407 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 1: You know, if you care, you're gonna become a boss. 408 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 1: It's just gonna happen, you know. Yea. We even had 409 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: an intern who came up and now we pay him. 410 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,399 Speaker 1: Who is Marcus. Yeah, he was intern for like a 411 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: year and now he did all the designs. He designs 412 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: everything from Even in that learning process, it's more about 413 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,919 Speaker 1: what you're learning than how much money you're making. I 414 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: feel like, at first, in the beginning end that you love, 415 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: eventually you will make money doing it exactly. We don't 416 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: take a paycheck, you know, we just invest. I mean, 417 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,640 Speaker 1: you got to prove yourself. You can't just there's different ways. 418 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: Some people have different paths. We're lucky we can. Our 419 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 1: doors are kind of open already, you know, but some 420 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,199 Speaker 1: other people got to open the door, right. Well, we 421 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: still put in the work. We definitely put in the work. 422 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 1: I package these cookies. I packaged all of these. But 423 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: it's also invested. Like you said, when you got partners 424 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: and you don't got to put up everything that you own. 425 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: Well that's the other thing. We dump our life. Yeah, 426 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: we put up our life. We didn't. We didn't really 427 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 1: put up money. You know. We were able to do 428 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: a lot of things for a little to no cost 429 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 1: because our doors are open. But if our doors weren't open, 430 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: you know, I would say that we would probably be 431 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,679 Speaker 1: halfway to where we are today just because of our 432 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,919 Speaker 1: work ethic. You got of the work ethic. There you 433 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,880 Speaker 1: have it. It's the Breakfast Club. Tell Dame he's welcome anytime.
