00:05he got back to me and invited me over to his house and he talked with me for well over
00:12an hour and that sticks with me to this day.
00:16And his belief in me at that point when I didn't believe in myself so much in my early 20s
00:21really, really helped give me more confidence. So I think the greatest gifts he's given me, A, was figuring out
00:28what I want to do for the rest of my life. If I didn't have such a wonderful situation to
00:32work in when I was five years old, who knows if I would have been completely turned off by it,
00:36right?
00:36But since he made it such a great work situation, I'm still doing it to this day. And when I
00:42needed advice, he was there. And so his support and his words of affirmation helped me immensely.
