    Perseverance ft. Two J's
    Jun 7 2021
    On this episode of Learn Life, Shaq and McGirt catch up with Jaysse Lopez aka Two J’s at his store 'Urban Necessities' in Las Vegas, NV. This interview was special for the simple fact that they were apart of the grand opening of the largest sneaker consignment shop in the world. While Jaysse was in the the process of opening his brand new store, he found time to sit and chat with these two brothers. They spoke about his humble beginnings, from being homeless and living in motels to getting his first store and making his first million. How events like sneaker con helped shape his business and change his life, why family and time are so important and how he’s just making an impact in the sneaker industry. The cadence around this episode was perseverance, for the simple fact that he’s failed over and over and still found a way to succeed. We got a little emotional during this episode but this was hands down one of the greatest experiences for the cast and crew. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed making it!
