From Hobbyist to Entrepreneur

doing it i just started doing it but i would say that my dad always told me that i could do anything i wanted it was always encouraging uh mom and dad were encouraging that whatever you want to do you can find a way to do it so i started off thinking i could find a way to do it a lot of times i was wrong sometimes i just didn't know what i was up against but i did it anyway did you end up figuring it out or learning in the process yep that's awesome always learning man my head's spinning i mean i thought i knew there was gonna be a cool story behind that but i didn't know the whole jack roush thing like how did you think that you could pick up the phone and call and ask for him well at that time i think he i think he probably was still a ford engineer he was known for street racing i'd read read several articles about some street racing he had done in livonia michigan so he was just a hot rodder that worked at ford he wasn't a nascar team owner he didn't have roush engineering uh i think he was getting started with drag racing at the time uh raced with a guy named wayne gap i think it was gap and roush in drag racing so he was not the big name that we know of today he was more approachable and his phone phone number was listed in the directory so that's interesting i think even through my own personal experience it's crazy what can be done by just like picking up the phone or showing up somewhere people rely too heavily on social media now and if they don't get a dm back they just like give up i think that's your generation probably you know we are used to talking to people making personal contact with them that still works pretty good you know what's funny is i drove three hours out of my way back in august just to show up here and see if you were here and you weren't but i posted an instagram story in the parking lot and johnny replied to it it was like used to there and said no and he said send me an email so i did and that's how this whole dialogue happened what led to me standing here right now because i just decided to show up that's cool it is cool and that's why i like making this video with that perspective so that other younger people watching this know that there doesn't have to be a an a plus b equal c ladder for everything kind of like the system makes you think it is you can just go do stuff you don't need people's permission yep that's right so you built this motor and it i guess it worked in your truck and that set the hook when did you…
