Running A Backyard Enterprise In 1985!

from The CMS Network’s Substack Podcast · host The CMS Network

Before the internet ruined everything, high school had a completely different economy. Chris opens up the vault to share how a 15-year-old kid in the mid-180s managed to run a highly lucrative, neighborhood-level operation right under his parents’ noses. From pre-rolling joints in a hidden pool box to dodging store detectives as a KMart shoplifting decoy, this isn’t a lecture—it’s a gritty, unfiltered look at how the street-level hustle actually worked when nobody was watching. If you’re watching this here, you’re looking at the scraps.
