Chapter II

His mindset and hit.

He's not collecting the money he earned.

  • "And I never forgot that because I always say success and justice really live next door to each other."
  • "Don't give a lot to discipline or anything."
  • And I had a I have a donor named Steve Capital, he's one of the top developers in New York City, and he stuck with me even when I lost the money he gave me and he made it all back."
  • None of these things you see like on the social network and all these things where the person started in their local room, and suddenly they were a Billionaire."
  • "you're a lawyer and you work for somebody else, you're selfing your time, you're not going to get rich, you'll be capable."

The beginning of his story.

  • The self-described poorest of them, together with their wives and four children, borrowed $200 from their mothers, owed $13 million, and then paid off in full; the business spans record companies, publishing companies, and video production companies rather than being defined as a single industry.
