But I can still do content within boxing.

But this boxing match was the most viewed amateur event ever.

30,000 tickets sold.

The press conferences were getting tens of millions of views.

So I was like, clearly people love this and I love it.

And so I'm going to go all in.

And then that lends itself to now being one of the highest paid athletes on the Forbes list because of just following the numbers.

So I think being analytical as an entertainer is also important.

So you have the content, you have this massively high grossing boxing career.

Why get into tech?

Yeah, so I think it was actually, again, just being an entrepreneur at heart, but it was actually one of my first loves was the Valley and coming out here when I was 17 with Corey and Alex Debelov, actually, and they showed me all these crazy companies and I got to meet some really smart people who were building the future and seeing like even Corey's after school setup where he had all the screens and all the

employees were there and it was just like so different and so cool and that's when i fell in love with wanting to make my own startups and being a founder but also being in the investor world and even understanding how it works and all the vc lingo and started growing my network and so it's really always been there since i was a kid and it's always been something that i loved

And then when I was 23, I wanted to take a bigger bite at the apple.

And that's when I met Jeff and the stars aligned.

And we just decided to go bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger.

And it turns out that we're actually really good at it.

So it's fun when things are working and it's fun helping shape the future of America with these companies.

Yeah, I was just telling the story.

I think there were our first pitch call for the fund and I was like all nervous before and didn't even have the full pitch perfected yet.

And so, yeah, by the end of the call, they were just like, all right, yeah, we'll like we'll invest.
