Theo VonAmerican stand-up comedian and host of the podcast This Past Weekend
Von said he grew up resentful about poverty partly because no one communicated to him that having little did not define the family.
“I think I grew up with a lot of resentment about, like, not having much, you know? But I think also it was because there wasn't much communication”

Followill argued that growing up poor gave the brothers thick skin and a drive to prove their worth rather than to seek success.
“I feel like it gave us thick skin, put a drive in us and a hunger. And it was never really for success. It was just kind of to prove our worth”
