And it was for half the price of what they were worth at the time. And then obviously six years later, I was able to announce it. And then I was playing in Paris.

You know what? It's been one of the most challenging things I've ever done. I bet. Whether in my career or outside of my career in the business side. Because we had to jump over a lot of like โ like hurdles along the way. There was so many difficult moments, you know, people turning around and saying Miami is a really difficult sporting city.

And he's playing in Miami in the MLS.
