1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,320
Where did your vision come from?

2
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:02,560
Where did that originate?

3
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,240
You know, I'm Italian and I think obviously being Italian,

4
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,680
that's something the I got a guy

5
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:11,720
and it's a big thing in Italian culture.

6
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:13,480
And I think just even for movies

7
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,000
and different things like that, you know,

8
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:16,920
obviously there's a little bit of a mafia undertone

9
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:17,740
with that, I think.

10
00:00:17,740 --> 00:00:20,480
But I've always kind of been somebody

11
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:21,640
that's just been the connector.

12
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,600
I mean, even in high school, the different jobs I had,

13
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:25,840
whether it was working in a restaurant

14
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:27,800
or, you know, it was a major deed, a restaurant.

15
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,640
Like I was always able to hook people up with stuff

16
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,640
or connect people with the needs of whether it was a table

17
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:32,960
or different things like that.

18
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,000
And even in college too, it was always kind of like

19
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,880
I roamed between these different groups,

20
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:38,600
mostly because I didn't know what I wanted to major

21
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,240
and I changed my major so many times.

22
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,240
It just kind of became a way of life.

23
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,200
Like, and my dad, you know, once again,

24
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,960
a lot of things I say as a nod to my father.

25
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,520
My dad used to call it the kid network

26
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,720
because he even used to say like, as I got older

27
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:52,960
and he's like, yeah, but you seem to know somebody

28
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,400
that's always working in a restaurant or a store

29
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,680
or somewhere, do you know somebody that works here or there

30
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:58,500
that can help us out?

31
00:00:58,500 --> 00:00:59,680
And I always seem to know somebody

32
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,160
who originally started as the kid network.

33
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,160
But I think that vision of just connecting people

34
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:05,680
is something I've always done since I was young.

35
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,160
And it's just something I've always believed.

36
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,280
I never fit into like one group of friends

37
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,160
or one group of people or one network group

38
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:11,980
or one industry.

39
00:01:11,980 --> 00:01:13,620
I've always been kind of very diverse.

40
00:01:13,620 --> 00:01:29,280
So that's really where that vision comes from.
