I mean, it's just I could see even long before like now, like I was saying, like even long before this financial invest, I knew he was invested in me.

I mean, he drafted me first and foremost, so I know he believed in me.

So then to see that he puts his foot forward first to even like invest some of the time into me, you know, obviously he's not coaching me, but he's investing more than just being a general manager into me.
