[Music]
entrepreneurship saved my life I didn’t
go to prison and I didn’t do a rehab
program what did happen is I realized my
potential and the love of making money
overcame the high of doing drugs my
senior year of high school I took a
wrong turn I ended up becoming addicted
to drugs I did methamphetamines for two
years and I not only did drugs but I
sold drugs to feel my habit after
quitting drugs I found my passion I
became an inventor I ended up working in
the news business and then I just
realized that it was entrepreneurship
that showed me my real potential and
that’s why cornbread hustle exists today
I want to show other people who have
self-destructive behavior that there is
light on the other side of the tunnel
even if your own family your friends
don’t think so I think so and I’m here
to tell you that and if I’m here to
motivate you at least you have somebody
in your corner and I’m here to tell you
what you can do and what you can achieve
rather than what everybody else is
telling you everybody else is telling
you you can’t do this you’re a felon you
can’t do that you have an X on your back
you can’t have this job I’m the person
here telling you what you can have and
the reason why you can because you have
skills that other people don’t have and
you need to realize that so many people
ask me why felons for Entrepreneurship
when it could be anybody else well you
know what felons have something that not
all entrepreneurs have tenacity
resourcefulness when their backs up
against the wall they know how to fight
right and that’s what it takes to be a
true entrepreneur you got to fight you
got to have your sweat and tears you got
to go for it and not everybody really
has that so for me when I understand
that people that come out of prison have
already endured the taking of
for something bad knowing that they
could take a risk for something good I
know that they’re my peoples
so instead of having a non-profit I
decided to create an incubator where we
actually help people create businesses
and we get involved and we care about
the businesses they create and we care
about the money they’re making because
guess what if they make money we make
money we don’t try to teach you certain
things we try to teach you what you can
be and who you will be and then guess
what you decide that the bad behavior
trails off off off and then one day you
wake up one morning and all the sudden
you have too much to lose [Music]
