  • 00:01:14
    A TRAIT THAT STARTED BACK IN
  • 00:01:15
    CHILDHOOD.
  • 00:01:16
    I WANTED A NINTENDO GAMES. I
  • 00:01:18
    WANTED TO GO TO THE ARCADE ON
  • 00:01:20
    WOODWARD. MY MOTHER SAID YOU HAD
  • 00:01:22
    TO GET A JOB IN ORDER IF YOU
  • 00:01:25
    WANTED TO GO TO THE ARCADE.
  • 00:01:25
    AFTER WORKING AT A FORD PLANT
  • 00:01:27
    AND THEN JACOBSONS, MARIO
  • 00:01:28
    EVENTUALLY FOUND HIMSELF
  • 00:01:28
    UNEMPLOYED.
  • 00:01:29
    AT THE SAME TIME, I WAS STILL
  • 00:01:31
    LIVING IN MY VAN, I WAS
  • 00:01:34
    HOMELESS. I HAD GOT DIVORCED.
  • 00:01:35
    I'M FROM THE EAST SIDE, BUT I
  • 00:01:37
    HAD MANIFESTED THAT I WANTED TO
  • 00:01:39
    LIVE IN AN AREA CALLED ROSEDALE
  • 00:01:41
    PARK, SO I WOULD GO OVER THERE
  • 00:01:42
    EVERY NIGHT, FIND A DIFFERENT
  • 00:01:45
    HE SAYS THROUGH MANIFESTATION
  • 00:01:48
    AND A BELIEF IN HIMSELF,
  • 00:01:49
    INSPIRATION TOOK HOLD.
  • 00:01:50
    I PUT THE WORD BELIEVE 313 ON
  • 00:01:53
    THE RUBBER BAND, AND I WOULD GO
  • 00:01:54
    DOWNTOWN AND JUST SELL RUBBER
  • 00:01:54
    BANDS.
  • 00:01:56
    AND ONE DAY OPPORTUNITY CAME
  • 00:01:57
    KNOCKING AT ONE DOOR IN
  • 00:01:58
    PARTICULAR.
  • 00:02:00
    POLICE WERE PUTTING A
  • 00:02:02
    ABATEMENT STICKER ON A HOUSE ONE
  • 00:02:04
    DAY, AND I ROLLED PAST IT AND I
  • 00:02:05
    SAID, WHAT'S GOING ON? THEY
  • 00:02:06
    SAID, WE'VE BEEN GIVING HIM
  • 00:02:07
    TICKETS FOR TWO YEARS.
  • 00:02:09
    HE CONTACTED THE OWNER OF
  • 00:02:10
    THAT VERY HOME AND OFFERED
  • 00:02:10
    $6,500.
  • 00:02:11
    HE TOOK THAT MONEY. AND THEN
  • 00:02:14
    I JUST WORKED ON THE HOUSE, ROOM
  • 00:02:14
    BY ROOM.
  • 00:02:16
    OTHER DOORS STARTED TO OPEN
  • 00:02:17
    AND MARIO DIDN'T HESITATE TO
  • 00:02:18
    WALK THROUGH. FOR INSTANCE,
  • 00:02:20
    WHILE TOURING A SHINOLA FACTORY.
  • 00:02:21
    WE WALKED INTO A ROOM. IT WAS
  • 00:02:25
    WERE LIKE, OH, I'M SORRY, OUR
  • 00:02:26
    CLEANING COMPANY IS TERRIBLE. I
  • 00:02:27
    SAID, I HAVE A CLEANING COMPANY.
  • 00:02:29
    HE DIDN'T EXACTLY HAVE A
  • 00:02:30
    CLEANING COMPANY YET, BUT HE DID
  • 00:02:33
    HAVE $27 WORTH OF CLEANING
  • 00:02:35
    THEY TOLD ME, GIVE US A
  • 00:02:37
    PROPOSAL. YOU KNOW, I WENT HOME
  • 00:02:39
    AND TRIED TO FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH
  • 00:02:41
    IT WOULD COST TO DO A BUILDING
  • 00:02:42
    OF THIS SIZE.
  • 00:02:46
    CLEANING WAS BORN. THEN CAME THE
  • 00:02:47
    NEXT OPPORTUNITY.
  • 00:02:50
    IN 2021, NO ONE WANTED TO GO
  • 00:02:51
    TO WORK, RIGHT? SO I SAID, LET
  • 00:02:55
    WORD SPREAD OF HIS SUCCESS,
  • 00:02:56
    WHICH AGAIN LED TO NEW CHANCES.
  • 00:02:59
    I STARTED HIRING A LOT OF
  • 00:03:01
    RETURNING CITIZENS AND THEY
  • 00:03:03
    WOULD TELL ME, MAN, YOUR STORY
  • 00:03:04
    IS WE TALK ABOUT YOUR STORY TO
  • 00:03:05
    PEOPLE IN JAIL ALL THE TIME. SO
  • 00:03:08
    I SAID, I NEED TO SHARE MY
  • 00:03:08
    STORY.
  • 00:03:10
    SO HE DID.
  • 00:03:10
