He Fired You… Then You Bought His Company

You're standing in Gary Pruitt's office at 4:47 on a Friday. The blinds are half open. He doesn't ask you to sit down. That's the first sign. Nine years from now, you'll walk back into the same company. Not as an employee. This is the story of what $43 and nine quiet years can turn into — and what it costs to build something while the people who wrote you off are still telling the story their way. A legal pad. A one-page memo left on a desk. A $9,200 loss that almost ended it. And a folder nobody in that room expected you to open. Watch to the end. The last two minutes are the whole point.
