When some people were graduating college, Dame was getting out of prison. That didn't hold him back. Growing up in Sandfly, GA, Dame loved shooting dice in the hood and running little tickets, which were never exactly legal. He aspired to Vegas–the mecca of gambling–where he could do those same gambles on a much bigger scale. On the road to Vegas, he first got hooked on stock picking. Dame learned the stock market inside and out. His financial literacy skyrocketed, but he hated that he couldn't talk to anybody about fibonaccis and blue-chip stocks. He could, however, walk into any barbershop and ask somebody: "you got the Panthers or the Falcons?"
