I appreciate you working with me, too. Sorry about last week, too, having to reschedule like that.

That's what you called me. It popped up as Albany. And I was like, damn, Albany?

Yeah. Um, I really think that started happening once I got to LSU, once I was able to achieve my dream and really have that opportunity. And especially after I got drafted and looking back at those two years that, you know, I was fortunate enough to have, I think I just kind of started reminiscing on like, I always said the question, why not me? for me to get that position.

But then I started kind of asking, okay, like why me? And I was just so grateful for me to get that chance to go out there and live my dream that, you know, I started thinking, I'm like, what is it that I can do to start helping people? And one of the things I looked at was what was a separator for me? Um, and obviously it wasn't my height was the separator. And I kept leaning back on

it was kind of my mindset growing up and then getting to LSU. It was just that I can do attitude that I'm not going to listen to the outside noise. And that was one of the things I recognized after going through college and all was how many kids that I met or how many friends I had that definitely had the talent, but the circumstances weren't there. And the mental side of the game wasn't there.

The, taking care of the schoolwork, going to do extra work off the field. That really wasn't there. And when I was sitting back, you know, my last couple years of pro ball, I was thinking, you know, what is, I was so thankful for what I had. I was like, what can I do to give other kids the opportunity to feel the way I feel, to experience what I got to experience?

And, honestly, there was a broad spectrum. You know, there was financially supporting people, you know, finding mentors for them. And there's this big spectrum that we were going off of, but obviously honing down on, okay, where are we going to start? And I think being the mental health game, especially nowadays, is there's just epidemic crisis in the United States and really worldwide with it.

And once I got partnered up with my partner's old-time friend of mine in one of his schools, friends out of Nashville, we kind of honed in on, hey, if we've got one opportunity at these kids and we will never get a chance of touching them, what can we leave them with? And really, this is what we've kind of landed on, these tools that they can hopefully take for the rest of their lives.

Yeah, I mean, I think it's just perspective for me. And honestly, one of our core pieces, it's reframing. It's reframing the situation in my mind. Yeah. I'd be lying if I say I wasn't better in some aspects for sure. But I mean, I feel like that's just anything when you go, anybody going after something, they're trying to achieve it and, you know, it doesn't work out in their favor.
