Business Instagram video that did 3× its author's usual

My dad drove from New York City to East Texas with almost nothing and bought a small fuel station. He woke up at 3am to work 4am to 6pm, six and sometimes seven days a week, for two and a half decades. He didn’t build it for himself. He built it so his sons would have a chapter to inherit and a foundation to write from. To afford his kids a better life, a step forward. Everything I’ve built sits on top of that decision. NV Investment Management. Heritage Wine & Spirits. NV Construction across four states. The truck stop in Longview. Astralis. The royalty company. Every deal, every hire, every spec home, every job site is a page in the same book he started writing before I could read. I’m not a copy of my father. I’m the next chapter of his legacy. And the story only gets bigger from here. To every dad who put in decades of work so their kids could swing bigger, we see you. Every one of us building today is standing on top of what you built. We are grateful for your sacrifices and perseverance, nothing is ever taken for granted. We are still writing. #WakeupPrayHustle for your loved ones!!
