startup program, “Quit Your Day Job”, and will be broadcasted on
national TV sometime early 2016.


 
STRATEGIES USED TO FUND BUSINESS

Right when I had quite Apple, I have dabbled in flipping vintage
trailers. What I would do is buy them and putting them in a
storage facility, renovating them, and flipping them on Craig’s
list. A few trailers later, I was making food carts.
FOUNDERS

The food cart business was my own thing. I was doing it on the
side. When I started the company, I knew that I wanted to do my
own thing, but I didn’t know what it was going to transpire into.
I wanted to do something in the weekends where I can do
self-operations and make a living.
DESCRIBE A MOMENT WHEN YOU FELT LIKE GIVING UP

When I quit Apple, I contemplated if I had made the right
decision. Leaving a work with benefits, stock options, and a
decent wage was a big hurdle to jump over, but I knew a big net
would catch me once I made the leap.
HUGE SUCCESS

A great success would have to be landing on a TV show. We also
locked down a pretty cool spot over the summer at Belmont Park in
Mission Beach.
SUPERPOWER

It’s good vibes. If you can harness good vibes and stay present
and keep a positive thought when things get tough, I think that’s
a big superpower anyone can have.
KRYPTONITE

I’m terrible at multitasking for the most part.
IF YOU CAN HAVE ANY SUPERPOWER…

I would want the power to stop time. If I can stop time and clean
the house, clean the garage, and my car, then that would be huge.
