b"Are people treated differently based on whether they have legal representation or not? \\xa0Have you ever experienced workplace discrimination? \\xa0Would you speak up? \\xa0Have you ever been terminated and felt maybe you could have won a legal battle? Today's guest Timi Ogundipe owns up to his mistakes and loves it when people underestimate him! \\xa0He\\u2019s a three-time suicide survivor, overcome jail, and just launched a new business! Better Call Daddy: The Safe Space For Controversy.\\n\\xa0\\nTimi\\u2019s bio\\nMy name is Timi Ogundipe. I am the founder and CEO of Safe Resell. I was born in Nigeria and moved to the states (Minnesota) when I was 3 years old. I haven\\u2019t been back since then but have the desire to go back, however, it is costly and time is limited for me.\\n\\xa0\\nI am married with 2 kids and live in Minneapolis MN. I have a 9-year-old son, who turns 10 in September from a previous relationship, and my wife and I have a 2-year-old daughter that thinks she is 14.\\n\\xa0\\nI grew up in a northern suburb of Minneapolis called New Brighton, and lived there from 1st grade all the way until I graduated HS.\\n\\xa0\\nI have an older brother who is the Co-Founder of Civic Eagle and recently raised a Series A round of $3,000,000. I also have a younger sister. My parents own a very successful home healthcare business in Minnesota as well, (my sister works for them).\\n\\xa0\\nGrowing up, I sucked at school (barely graduated honestly), was a rebel, fought damn near every day, drank on most non-game days, and dabbled into some drugs (marijuana and ecstasy). In HS, I was in track and football for 4 years, basketball for 3, and wrestling for 1. My personality was (and still is) unique. I didn\\u2019t take any shit from anyone, (literally, if someone stepped on my shoes accidentally and didn\\u2019t apologize, they got a fist to their jaw), but would also whoop anyone who was bullying someone. I hated bullies and was known for bullying the bullies. My brother was always the golden child, and I hated being compared to him, seriously, hated it. I don\\u2019t think using cuss words is a bad thing. Why the fuck does a word, that have real meaning (or slang) be considered bad? I say, fuck that shit, cuss all you want, just as long as it isn\\u2019t at me, and you understand potential consequences.\\n\\xa0\\nThe summer before I started HS, I attended a party, and that night, was the first time I drank alcohol, smoked weed, and had sex\\u2026 I was 13 (my birthday is in August). I also have over 80 partners in my life. I stopped counting when I hit 81. My ex-wife was #69. I know because I started a competition with a friend in college\\u2026. We both loved fighting, had a unique upbringing and both our names starts with T and we were known as TNT because, we decided that if one of us wasn\\u2019t bringing a girl back with us, we were fighting. It got to the point where people would leave if we were at a party. People even called us for fi9ghting assistance or when they got jumped. One time, my friend got kicked out of a house party for flirting with the renter\\u2019s girlfriend, and him and I waited outside in the car until party was over, walked in, and beat up the 5-6 people that were there. Just us 2.\\n\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nToo much detail to get into about my life, but my life also includes,\\n1. Bringing a gun to school every day and no one knew except one person.\\n2. Plenty of fights during and after school\\n3. Plenty of times I cussed out teachers\\n4. Drinking during school\\n5. Being shot at/ having guns pointed at me a few times\\n6. Having mental health issues, unbeknownst to me at that time\\n7. Going to college for football and getting kicked out\\n8. Giving up football and college to pursue MMA because, I loved fighting, and can now do it every day in practice and scheduled fights, without getting in legal trouble.\\n9. Losing vision in my right eye from injury.\\n10. Moving to California, 8 days after thinking about the option with no place to live, no money, no friends, nothing. I slept on the beach/in my car, for the first 2 weeks I was there.\\n11. Moving"
