I've had a breakdown.

And so, you know, and we see that manifest that in different people.

People, you know, they're about forgiveness.

You know, I think about Nelson Mandela living in a prison for most of his life and coming out like, how's this guy so happy and forgiving?

You know?

Somebody who believes in a cause and like, this is a cause I fight for.

Women who didn't get recognition in earlier times, but believed in what they were doing and diligently lived through it.

They believed in the cause or whatever they were working on, whether it be physics or women's rights or whatever.

A life and integrity.

Yeah, except I don't want people to be impressed of us as an engineer. We had a saying on the football team, Ds get degrees.

I played the bench, but I was a defensive back, cornerback at the University of Iowa. But did it pay for school? No, I was actually a walk-on. I was trying to get a scholarship.

But when you love football, you love the sport, you never want to let go, right? You're not like, oh, I'll just dive into my studies and pick up this hobby. You're kind of like football is life at that age.
