“So I’m, I’m driving back to New York to move 33 hour drive. And he calls me and he says, Hey, how does $400 a month sound in a stipend? You’re going to live with 10 guys. you’re gonna have a meal plan. What he didn’t tell me about the meal plan is that, well, we worked from six to noon, so breakfast is out the window. I had from 12 to one, and then I could eat dinner at like seven. So I got two meals in the dining hall, but he hooked me up with a little side gig, so I made some money. But I mean, I lived in basically a frat house. And like I said, man, like I was like, all right, this is the test. And I was gonna tell him no. I’m like, bro, I have a master’s degree. I have experience both in college and private. Like I’m basically running my own sessions, this, that, and the other thing. And so I called my friend Ty and he was a strength coach. He was interning at Syracuse at the time. And I called him. I said, man, I’m not taking it. I’m not taking it. And he goes, do you have any other offers? And I said, nah. And he goes, looks like you’re taking it.”
