Alexis Ohanian

And you have to get comfortable with failure and messing up. And she'll still, it's funny, she'll whack it 100 yards. I'll be so proud of her. And then she'll totally whiff on a ball. And once she got so upset, she almost pulled the Serena. She pulled the club up and was about to smash it. I was like, Olympia. just casually put the thing down. I was like, Oh, you got that Serena in you.

But you see that and you see she's, she's got that tenacity and she is so hard on herself when she doesn't get it right. But I need her to sit in that and soak that up and get okay with it so that whatever she does, again, if she, it changes every week, veterinarian, fashion designer, right now she wants to be a singer. I'm like, I don't care what it is. You just need to know.

I'll like, you want, you love that Beyonce video. Yeah. How many hours do you think Beyonce spent rehearsing the dance moves, rehearsing that song, singing over and over and over and over? Like, do not get seduced. And it's crazy. I... I don't know. I did not have anyone like sit me down and tell me that that explicitly and maybe it just ruins – maybe it just ruins life. We'll see.

But I need her to know anytime she sees excellence, the only reason she's seeing is because of countless, countless hours of trying and failing and practicing that led up to it that no one saw, that no one cared about. And with her mom as an example, she's got the goat of a role model and she does do tennis now twice a week. I think – I mean, she's got some good athletic genes, let's be honest.

No, but she might – I don't know. If she plays sports, the good news is her mom will be able to have a conversation with her early on about just what it's going to take. And if she wants to do it, God bless, we'll support her. But I'm not worried – It's weird. This is not a thing. Okay.

When I was a kid, I used to be pretty, I don't want to say anti-rich people, but like I distinctly remember going to UVA and I went to some good public schools in Howard County, Maryland. Like they were fine. They were solid. But I got to, I played football with kids who had free lunches and kids whose parents were lawyers. So I got exposed to a pretty decent range of kids, which was great.

And then I got to UVA and I finally met like rich people. And I was so excited because I was like, these kids are so soft. I was like, this is going to be great. This is my competition. This is phenomenal. And it tracked. But now I'm on the other end. And I'm not trying to snuff for sympathy here. But I am much more appreciative of the challenges that wealthier families have

making sure their kids have, have it, have that grit, have that, whatever you want to call it. And so that's something we're acutely aware of and mindful of and hoping for. And like, I, like I said, I want Olympia to work either. It's gotta be either a retail job or food service, like some kind of service job for sure. Like high school, like it's good enough for Papa. It's good enough for you.
