I was walking out the restroom.

He's walking in at one of the College Park Skyhawks game in Atlanta.

Like, I don't know, not even a month ago.

You're an owner, right?

I'm a minority owner of the Skyhawks in Atlanta, yeah.

There's no reason to have a lot of money unless you have your own squad.

That's my like take in life.

That's what most billionaires, that's how they think.

If I ever have enough money, like if you're just a billionaire and you don't have your own team, you're just, I don't know what.

I don't look at it like that, but I'm sure as a billionaire, it's something that you have to do like a subtle flex to let them know like I'm a billionaire billionaire.

I really want to get into your book.

Tell me about what growing up in College Park taught you and how it molded you, I guess.

College Park molded me in many ways.

It taught me resilience.

It taught me some independence.

I did most of my adolescence growing up in College Park.

I got there early ninth grade.

Built a lot of relationships.

I got a lot of my social bandwidth from College Park, so it just means a lot.
