Yeah, I would just point to my history.

We were very successful in transacting in Arizona.

I think I have great relationships.

I really do.

You know, there's still a lot of general managers that reached out to me after my announcement.

A lot of them I have interacted with and dealt with from the past.

It's a pretty good overlap still in the league.

And so I've sat in the chair.

I've made those transactions.

I have those relationships.

I have zero reservation about my ability to do that part of the job.

Well, when I took the first role, I was dating my wife, who I'm now married to.

I had no kids.

Now I have three.

And, you know, I think like any 26-year-old in a decade later, lots of things change.

And, you know, look, I've always been big on professional development.

I've always been big on, you know, seeking out the best and learning from them.

And I'd say, you know, really understanding, you know, sports, understanding how to integrate decision making with data, with the human element and what that means and human connection side of things, I think is, you know, incredibly important.

And, you know, I think as we think about trying to get the job done here in Toronto, it's going to be hard.

And I think that that part of the team is going to have to be really strong.
