It seems that from the start you've had an ingrained sense of hustle.
I actually laughed at your anecdote about selling sporting goods. When I was in high school I sold electronics at Best Buy. We would have reps come in and tell us about the printer resolutions and pages per minute, the hard drive seek times, the lcd refresh rate, etc. But, as you said, the customers didn't care about that. All they wanted to know was if they could print a 4x6 photo and have it look nice, or run a word processor, or play a video game.
That hustle doesn't seem to die. I've always found a way to turn something into a more entrepreneurial venture, even when working in a corporate environment.
Thankfully my best friend and I are partnering up to create something of value for ourselves now. It's exciting, especially when I've spent the last 10 years hustling!
