    ​@@ATELIER_31it's a lot harder when u have no father u can rely on and no family i totally understand the pressures to fill your dad's shoes but thats a nice felling it means your proud of your father and hes achieved soo much u have disbelief in yourself but all I want is to be a successful business owner but I have no generational help I was kicked out the house and left to fend by myself at 16 by my mum who has serious mental health I slept on benches in the cold with no food or warmth in winter I think you need to appreciate how lucky you are I haven't even got a family member to talk to and I'm not being a jealous piece of shit I love what Alex does and respect him 100% but sometimes I wish I was born into a stable life because it feels a lot harder trying to get through life when u have to build everything from nothing when your in competition with people who's had money for generations its a losing race I'm so broke I could only eat one meal today otherwise I will end up running out of money just please appreciate everything more even having your father in your life never take those things for granted

    Alex, thank you for sharing a small piece of your family history. It is truly unique. As an immigrant myself, my parents immigrated from Trinidad to Ontario, Canada, in the late 80’s. It was humbling to see a personal part of your history and future. That is impressive, man. Keep up the great work and keep that family close to you bud.

    Nothing to be ashamed of. Your story is the story of immigrants. That's how communities like Chinatown and Little Italy got started. It starts by a family moving to America and connecting with other families to start a business. Eventually the loans gets paid off and that family would help other families. There's something to be learned there. Props to all your success and really appreciate your back story.
