"Bobby: We've been married for 35 years. We have two children: Priscilla, 34, and Brandon, 29. They're both married, and we have three grandchildren. I only have a ninth-grade education, and Sofia only has a 10th-grade education. We were both raised in Miami, and when we met, I was 22, and Sofia was 18. Within six months, we got pregnant, got married, and moved into Sofia's parents' house."
"School wasn't for me. When I told my mom that I didn't want to do it anymore, she supported me. She was a waitress all her life, so I quit and worked at a restaurant. I heard conversations at tables, people talking about business, a different type of conversation than I was having at home. Curiosity sparked, and I said to my mom, I'm going to be a millionaire."
Bobby and Sofia Castro have been married 35 years and have two children, Priscilla (34) and Brandon (29), and three grandchildren. Bobby completed ninth grade; Sofia completed tenth grade. Both were raised in Miami and married young after an early pregnancy, moving into Sofia's parents' home. Their parents worked multiple jobs to support large families, and both grew up with no money or hand-me-downs. Bobby resolved to create his own business despite limited schooling, leaving school to work in restaurants. Exposure to business conversations and classified ads sparked curiosity and aspirations to become a millionaire, though early talk lacked action.
