Past simple

Past continuous

My father was screwed over by a business partner

and over the years my dad was working very, very hard,

and one day the business partner basically took off,

took all the money and because my dad was the guarantor

That wiped out my father financially, emotionally.

He was never the same man again after that.

I'll never be screwed over by a business partner,

I don't want to repeat the same mistake that he made.

Over the years I've had so many different partnerships.

If you're watching this video maybe you've just been

someone that you called a friend for a long time,

Someone you thought would never betray you

Well I wanna share my experience with you

At the time I was just getting started in my career

and I printed out all these business cards,

free business cards because I couldn't afford

and I was living in a small condo with my mom

and I would put the business card under people's doorway

maybe I could get some business that way,

the older gentleman was actually a web master

saying I saw your business card, what do you do?

And I'm like hey, well, good I got some business.

He said why don't you come to my place, meet with me?

So I went down to his floor in the same building

and we talked and I shared with him what I do

Why are you running around giving away business card?

I said a website, like how does that work?

So I borrow money from my relatives to pay him

I thought great, that I'd only to knock on people's door

and try to stuff business card under the doorway,

And he was pitching me different business ideas,

I could make money faster and be able to provide for my mom,

Long story short; back and forth, back and forth.

I was borrowing money, maxing on my credit card,

I trust him so much, he was an older gentleman

so sometimes he might be building websites and stuff,

I would have mom cook dinner and I would bring

Long story short; we put in tens of thousands of dollars,

I got into tens of thousands of dollars in debt

One day I wanted to see the progress of what we've done.
