I had a chop shop.

Growing up in a wealthy neighborhood, I never thought about the challenges that others faced in different areas. But when I moved to a rougher neighborhood and saw my bike stolen, I knew I had to take action. Instead of being a victim, I decided to become a savvy entrepreneur and started stealing bikes from everyone else. With my chop shop in the basement, I quickly became a sought-after source for affordable bikes in the community. But as I grew older, I realized that this wasn't the right path for me. I learned the importance of honesty, hard work, and ethical business practices, which helped me become the successful business owner I am today.
