I talk to a lot of students in HS and college that want to “get into real estate.”

Marquis Gardner stayed at Chattanooga Prep when staying wasn’t popular. Breaks down his last team huddle with One. Big. Family. A legend in his own right. Lots of football ahead for Gardner.

I am tired of Chattanooga making a big deal out of the Quantum network, when we have zero reason to win there, while the ignoring the most important economic driver of the city - logistics.

I met my wife when I was 21, and we got married at 22 hands down the best decision I’ve ever made. At 24, we were out together knocking on truckers’ doors at truck stops!
I met my wife when we were 23. Knew we’d get married after the first date. Got married 6 months later. I lived in a car for most of our engagement. We had roughly zero dollars, definitely a negative net worth. 13 years and 4 kids later by far the smartest thing I’ve ever done.
