story when you consider where you’ve
come from to where you’ve now found
yourself there’s only one way you’ve
done that and that self drive and
determination what do you think that has
come from
I would have to say I would have to say
growing up and the examples that were
set for me from my parents
you know we struggle a lot there was a
lot of struggling going on when I was 14
we lived in Hawaii we lived in a on an
efficiency an efficiency like one room
efficiency where the rent was 180 bucks
a week and eventually come and then we
were evicted and so then we had to move
from the line because we couldn’t live
there there’s a lot of struggle and
watching them struggle and watching them
pull through it and and having that

I wanted to I knew I wanted it to be
something and it was important to me to
be something it was it was important to

things when you’re younger but I could
recognize it now man
and just in terms of the drive and the
determination a lot of it was experience
to get your ass kicked
get back up and put the gloves back on
and you swing away whatever it is that
you want to do you’ve gotta get after it
when I was younger and starving and
struggling and literally we were getting
evicted out of our apartment that you
