painted pictures of famous NBA players. And he just saw me one day getting robbed and decided to do a generous thing. And I ended up sitting next to him. And I was so stunned by actually having the capacity to meet him and be able to actually thank him because That lesson for me at that moment in time was a really powerful thing. You see someone down, like do whatever you can to support them.

So I played basketball in high school and I started, I'm 6'3 now. I started my freshman year at 5'3 and I was constantly growing throughout high school. When I went to college, I played a lot of pickup in the gym. And the summer after my freshman year, I was playing with a bunch of friends and I dunked on one of them. And Patrick loves this story. My father joked with me in that moment.

He goes, I'm so glad you couldn't dunk in high school. And I said, what do you mean? That would have been amazing. I was terrible as a basketball player in high school. And he goes, well, if you would have dunked, you probably would have been a lot cooler than you were. And if you're a lot cooler than you were, you probably wouldn't have studied as much as you studied.

And if you didn't study as much as you studied, you probably wouldn't be where you are today. So I still wish I would have been able to dunk in high school.
