\xa0\u201cI was riding the wave of a half-billion-dollar a year company and 18 months after I went there, they filed for bankruptcy.\xa0 My son had just been born. He was 2 months old.\xa0 My wife had quit her job for me to go take this job and it was just the realization of I don\u2019t have control over where I go from here.\xa0 It doesn\u2019t matter how hard I work, how smart I am, or anything. That was my first foray into \u201cI need to do something different\u201d which ultimately became real estate, but I didn\u2019t know that at the time.\u201d\xa0
