the business world


"Ya know, when I was 10 I was doing all sorts of strange things.
I started a leaf raking crew - is what we called it. I
would gather everybody on our street and we'd start racking
leaves and be so excited when we got five dollars. I'm not sure I
knew what I was doing back then, but it was a fun way to be with
friends and try to gather people together. and do something
productive"
