I started a sales career when I raised money for East Abington little league back in 1978.

Don Williams: Okay, so, alright, so in your household, mom and dad, they're both doing things, grandparents are doing things, and so tell us about your first, I'll say job, but your first job, you might have been an entrepreneur, you may have never had a job. The first thing that you do that did, that resembled work that you got paid for.

What was that?

Richard Blank: Uh, I could have been the first one that I was earning money or the one where I was most satisfied. The, the time when I, I realized I had the salesmanship was when I was raising money for my little league uniforms. We were supposed to go out and sell $1 candy bars, and this is back in 1978.
