Season 3 - Episode 22: "But you didn't get a bachelor's
though"-Mom





If you're emotionally invested in something, make sure you have
passion for it, make sure that you have a continuous drive to
keep going. As long as that passion remains in whatever form
you're taking on and the effort is there behind it, I think
you'll be successful. I'm not talking about like doing something
for one day. I'm putting in eight hours in one day out of a week.
I did photography, music, dancing, this and that. Ask yourself as
a creative, why are you doing this? Are you doing music to get
rich and famous? Are you doing it for fame? I think a lot of soul

that, but a lot of people do it for checks.

behind me and I'm rapping. And then instead of doing a boring
presentation, I would rap the entire presentation. By the time I
got done with high school, people already knew that I was in that
scene. I'd show up to a few battle, raps, and events.

To become a First Vice President, there's so many candidates that
have their JDs and MBAs on top of MBAs. Right? They're very
qualified and when you see a resume with high school graduate,
they won't be able to get past a specific ceiling. On the flip
side, I have the experience, right?  A lot of people in my
department have a Masters. However, I beat out candidates with
Masters for roles, and they get pissed because they have their
Masters and, this individual and I, we both applied for this
compliance position that I'm in and they just couldn't fathom the
idea that someone with a high school degree could hold this
position.
