0:00What was your original inspiration?
0:01What drove you to do this?
0:03I was here in Austin.
0:05It's so cool because I lived here early 2000s, worked as a waiter at Fleming Steakhouse, and I just had these dreams of traveling the world.
0:15Can't wait to see the world one day because I didn't travel growing up.
0:18Our family didn't go anywhere.
0:19I always wanted to go to Europe.
0:20And my goal was to save $20,000 in two years, go to Europe.
0:26Seven months, get a Ducati in Italy, rip that thing through the Alps, send it home, have my life figured out.
0:32Bro, that's a fucking dream.
0:33That was the dream.
0:33That was an absolute dream.
0:35But then I went, I did a winter in Switzerland, snowboarding, doing every job imaginable, and then flew.
0:43I'm like, what's this place called the Republic of Georgia?
0:46I've never heard of that.
0:47I took a one-way Republic of Georgia, landed, all the mafiosa got off the plane, which was the whole plane.
0:54The BMWs were waiting for them, sped off on the tarmac.
0:57It was me in the airport.
0:59It was so corrupt at that time, had to pay a bribe to get into the airport.
