At the end of the day, you're just really just building this person up for mediocrity. And if you want to be great, if you want to be a guy who's in the NFL for more than two or three years, you have to show these intangible traits of why you're better than right? You got to have that work ethic. So that's what we try to get in all of our guys.

Man, this is going to sound cliche, but I guarantee you I work harder than anybody else in this industry, right? Again, everybody's going to say that, but why I know that that's factual is if you look at this entire industry, you have over a thousand agents as of this year. And I don't know the exact number, but it's between 150 and 200 agents actually have people on a roster. That's it, right?

So we're looking at about 20% of agents actually have someone somewhere. And if you look at myself and my partner, we have five people in the NFL. So we're not, it's not like, hey, we accidentally got a guy on the practice squad. Like, no, what we're doing is working, right? And in year two, like quote me, I'm gonna have, we're gonna have 10.

We're gonna have 10 guys in the NFL and we're gonna keep building. And the thing is, Why we're different is I'm never going to give an athlete an intern's phone number or a secretary. You're always going to be able to get a hold of me, my business partner. We have another guy who does just endorsements, another guy who just does PR, and you'll have all their cell phone numbers.

You're going to have the guy's cell phone numbers. It's never going to be, oh, can I take a message? No, you're getting a hold of somebody. That's no matter how big we get. Again, I say we've been growing. We have this year's draft class. We have guys we're doing NIL for in college. We have our pros. We even have one in the UFL now. We are getting everywhere quick.

We brought in another agent who's actually NFL and NBA certified. Right. So eventually there's going to be an NBA branch of fam as well. And that's what we intend to keep doing is we get more athletes. We're bringing in more agents that are like minded to keep that ratio high. So you always have someone you can reach out to and you never get lost in the mix.

Man, I guess if there are any other athletes out there listening to this, what I would say is the money is going to come. Don't get so wrapped up in the money now. If you focus on your education and you focus on your development, your personal development on and off the field, the money is going to come. So don't get so wrapped up in it now.
