Almost Killed by Neighborhood Gangs
A HEART-WARMING ADRENALINE PACKED MESSAGE
What started with a casual walk to the liquor store led to Chris being picked up by neighborhood gangs. When told he was going to just “hang out,” Chris was led into an ambush by getting jumped by ten gang members. In the end they said “Welcome to the family,” and Chris knew this wasn’t going to be the life for him.
Are you “in” or are you “out?”
THE QUESTION CHRIS ASKED BILLIONAIRE MARK CUBAN
After watching an episode of Shark Tank on TV, Chris had the idea of reaching out to Mark via email. The moment he sent the email, Mark responded within 30 minutes. Chris responded, but didn’t hear back for several weeks. Desperate for an answer, Chris threw out the question “Are you “in” or are you “out?” in which Mark replied “I’ll be there.” With no contract in place or formal agreement, Mark flew in his private jet to greet Chris in San Diego and ended up providing him $340,000 to support his mission.
