Willie talks about the tough circumstances he faced, including his mother's tragic death when he was young and not meeting his father until much later in life. He discusses his struggles to make ends meet and his realization that he needed to find a way to make money without working long hours. Despite not enjoying school and barely graduating high school, Willie pursued odd jobs and learned from experience rather than formal education.
