you know, damn it, I'm going to get it.
Until I realized that I didn't need it or I didn't really want it, but it allowed me to have that carrot that I'm chasing and I'm going to continue to do it.
No, no.
I mean, my dad died when I was 25, so he never got to see any of this.
He took great pride and love in anything we do.
My sisters were cheerleaders, two brothers who were football players, and then myself and my other brother, basketball players.
And he tried to be there for all of our events.
But he was not hypercritical.
My mom was.
She was tough, but that's who raised us from, you know, time I was 25 on.
When your dad dies at a young age and your mom doesn't have any money, there's no retirement, there's no insurance, all of a sudden it's, you know, Amber Alert here.
All hands on deck.
Now, all of a sudden, the dynamic has changed.
And everything was about a job and holding on to the job and savoring a job, working hard at the job.
And so it kind of got ingrained in my head of don't take anything for granted and keep going.
Oh, yeah, it's all internalized.
I mean, I'll be around my guys, and I'll say, we can't let these small things, I mean, they can't fall through the cracks.
I mean, we have to do this.
It's little things, but I want them to understand those little things.
Because we focus on the big things.
