The high school football coach asked if I would play football.
He said he thought I’d make a good tight end.
I said no.
I would’ve surely earned a D-I scholarship and earned millions in the NFL.
I regret saying no to the coach.

He does quite well, but not sure how much he made off Monster. I think he sold most of it in 2015.
