Gary Owen Reveals the $11/Hour Job That Made Him Feel RICH at 14 (You Won’t Believe It)

#FinancialFreedom #WealthBuilding #BlackWealth #Entrepreneurship
Comedian Gary Owen drops a hilarious—and surprisingly inspiring—story about his very first job at 14 years old. Before the fame, before the movies, Gary was grinding on a strawberry farm… getting paid 35 cents a quart and hustling like his life depended on it.

In this clip from The Black Money Tree Podcast, Gary breaks down:

How he turned picking strawberries into making $11+ an hour

Why elbow pads and knee pads were his “work uniform”

How getting paid under the table made him feel like a baller

The moment he realized hard work could transform his future

This is classic Gary Owen—funny, real, and packed with lessons on hustle and mindset.
