And that was really not the case.

And sometimes that's more difficult.

I spent a lot of time introspecting, asking questions, going to therapy, praying, doing all the things that people say, all the typical stuff.

But I would say that the not hard part was that Netflix was just giving me sort of all the things that I had been asking for in the universe, which was more time with my family,

more time to sit and just be a creative, you know, and like try to think of things and more time to pursue things that were sports and sports adjacent and the ability to just have like a little bit more autonomy over the spaces and projects that I took on.

And so it was very easy when, you know, I got my contract offer and they were like,

30 days of work, it was like, hell yes.

And that was the easy part.

So, but it's been really interesting when you leave something like ESPN, you have a lot of existential like buildup, I think a lot of anxiety, but I gotta be honest, Dan, like it's been so surprisingly wonderful, the time with my family, but also the idea that like,

People were watching you that you didn't know were watching you.

People want to work with you that you didn't think ever would.

There's all these doors that are opening all of a sudden.

And so, you know, so far early returns are that like I made the right decision.

You work a lot and I get it.

They have a really big sports portfolio.

And I think that there is this sort of understanding amongst talent that the more value that you have, the more volume that you take on, right?

So like you got to take on more things.

You got to take on specific things.

That's how you get paid.

Then once you get that contract, you know, if you want more money, you have to justify it by doing more and doing more and doing more.
