And then I went into insurance where I was in insurance for six years. And recently I left motivational talks.

I had a great childhood upbringing. Hardworking parents, loving parents. They didn't show any feelings or emotions towards us, I suppose old fashioned, traditional family from the generation where man up, you can't show any feelings and emotion. You're a man, a big, strong man. You can't show weakness.
