From selling dope to selling houses

My name is Quentin Flores, I am real estate entrepreneur in San Antonio Texas.

When I was a kid, my momma taught me how to sell weed. and to be honest I didn't think it was going to grow into something huge either, it was more or less something that paid a bill or two here or there. But the entrepreneur in me always wanted more.
From the age of 13-21 I had built a successful weed selling business from nothing. Networked my way to getting a bunch of connections where it was legal, and began trafficking large quantities of pot from all over the US and back to Texas. 
I was "The Weed Guy" for the longest time. 

I wasn't no small timer either, I had brought in large amounts of pot from California (Specifically) to Texas and at the height of my business, I was pushing 40+ pounds a month making a crap ton of money, and spending every single penny of it. 
Ya see, I was never academically successful in my whole life. 
I was born with A.D.D and had trouble paying attention in school. 
I never made it past my freshman year of high school. Hell, I don't even have a GED. 
Anyways..

That all boiled down to me spending a few years in prison where I learned how to build a real estate business from the ground up.
I came out of jail flat broke but my mind was never richer. 

I went into prison with a PHD in selling pot, and came out with a Doctoral in flipping Real Estate.
It's been about 3 years since I have completed my parole 
And in my small time of business I have changed my entire life around. 
Not just for me, but for my wife and our two year old son whom I can spend all the time with in the world while building my real estate business as a side hobby. 
Real estate has granted me the opportunity to bless others peoples lives in the best way possible. 

I have since put that part of my life behind me and have built two full time real estate businesses in my 5 years of experience, and have mastered the art of building systems.

My team and I flip 10-20 houses a month, and we are just starting.

From selling dope to selling houses.

This is my story.

Even the gurus who used to support him by having him on podcasts, etc. are running from him. Where there's smoke, there's fire. No doubt, he'll have lots of noobs singing his praises...up until the time they get taken to the bank too.
