Hustled. Period. 2004-2008: * Tried to start five businesses. None ever got off the ground. Learned a TON; * To pay the bills while attempting to start businesses, I worked temp, part-time and full-time jobs, 9-5. * Worked on business ideas pretty much from 630pm to midnight...every day; * To validate one of the five ideas, I got a job at Whole Foods as a buyer. Alas, thegreenerway.com never came to fruition. In hindsight, life-changing experiences. https://badgerherald.com/news/2002/04/18/hip-hop-conference-c/ https://ianspizza.com/ https://wsum.org/ https://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/
