I Thought Sales Was a Scam

My dad's buddy was in private wealth [music] management at Merrill Lynch, but he called me up and was like, "Hey, you should sell for me." I said, "Ugh, sales? I'm not a salesman, I'm an academic." And then lo and behold, I signed my lease, I slept on the floor, and I was like, "How do I pay rent?" Woman walks in the door, and I was like, "I need to get her to give me money so I can pay rent." So, for me, it was just begging people to give me money in [laughter] the beginning.
