So-

If that passion for something burns or if I'm not willing to put that effort in, then we get out of it, all right?

Or we don't do it in the first place.

And so that's just kind of what was ingrained in me, the hard work growing up, you know, very blue collar family.

My dad was a reigning cutting horse trainer.

My grandfather was 23 years in the United States Marine Corps, which meant we were all in the Marine Corps.

We were raised boot camp style.

And so, again, that just kind of translates into, again, I try to put that kind of work into my marriage, my faith, my kids, any business we're doing.

So, yeah, it's a mentality.

And it's, you know, again, you joke about it with a mullet, it's a lifestyle.

It really is.

It's a choice.

It's a choice to be this way.

Yes, sir.

Yep, that's the difference here.

I tell that to kids these days.

I'm like, you get to the NFL, everybody's fast, everybody's strong.

Everybody was fast.

if they weren't first team all-american they were some form of an all-american problem like so so all the accolades are there right everybody so what's that what makes what makes all these people in college that are the one percent of one percent right i think um i love math right and i had a high school coach tell me one time this is when he was basically trying to tell me like i shouldn't get my hopes up for for college scholarships when i was like a freshman right he's like there's like 20 000 colleges in the country right and

you know, hundreds of thousands of high school students and high school athletes and this, that only about 20,000 of them get to go to college on a scholarship.
