Memorable moments:
(00:01:58) “I went from making $5 an hour to charging $10 per car, plus tip, which I could do in 30 minutes. So to go from $5 an hour to $25, $30 an hour, I was like, wait, the more I hustle, the more I can make.”
(00:04:09) “One of the great things about concrete is you only get one chance. You can’t come back the next day and say, ‘Hey, you know what? I’m super tired. I’ll throw up that wall tomorrow.'”
(00:18:21) “You know what, at the end of the day, business is business. Obviously, you’re just changing the service aspect of it. And you just need to surround yourself with the people that not only can implement but also execute.”
