I've done business with people I've met in politics, who I went to law school with, who I grew up with. Who do you do business with? People you meet in life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People like to do politics with me, and they like to do business.
I have always been a business person.
I started my business with my best friend from high school.
My father was an entrepreneur - a sign maker, and he had about 20 employees - and often he'd take me to business meetings, and I would listen to him talk with his workers and customers. We would also talk a lot about business over dinner.
Well, basically I have a lot of friends because I've been in the business a long time and worked with a lot of people.
Like leaders in many walks of life, my business has been to serve with, and for, others.
I went downtown as a lawyer and then I worked in a liquor store at night, as I had done all through law school. And so when I got to the point where I could give up the night job, I joined the political club.
I'm not a politician. I'm a businessperson.
I meet many people, I talk with them, like a TV show host. I show what's going on with Greenpeace, interesing political things, I have artists, musicians and bands.
I don't really count myself as a very sophisticated businessperson. I'm a creative artist. All I know from business I've picked up along the way.
