My Son Kept Calling Me a Burden — Until the Day I Showed Him Who Really Signed His Checks I'm Leona, a 68-year-old retired industrial engineer and mother from Greenville, South Carolina. My son Derek screamed at me in front of the whole family, calling me a leech -- demanding I get a real job. What he didn't know was that I built the precision manufacturing company he's been running as CEO from absolute nothing. I founded it in 1993 with $47,000 and my own two hands. The articles of organization, the operating agreement, the corporate records -- they all carry my name as the sole founder and sole owner. When he tried to hand my company over to his father-in-law at Thanksgiving dinner, I placed thirty-three years of proof on the table next to the cranberry sauce.
