I'm doing well.

Just getting kind of on board with everything that's new.

Yeah, definitely a really, really exciting opportunity.

Loved my job with the Red Sox and loved what we were building.

And when this opportunity just came up, I just had to jump at it and really excited to get to know the Mets and get to know their system and get to know the players and start a new kind of journey and adventure.

Yeah.

Start connecting the players and where's their head at?

Like, who are they as a person?

What do they value?

Right.

Are they something that loves baseball or baseball is just a job?

And that's the way you approach those guys just as human beings, first of all, is super important and get to know them and really what drives them.

We've got a couple that I've crossed paths with with both Minnesota and the Red Sox, but really beyond that, it's a lot of just new faces, new names, new people.

Yeah, a lot of relationship building.

No, Zach Kelly might be the only one from college.

Yeah.

So I was his coach at Concord University.

See, I did not know that.

How did I not know this?

Yeah, all the way in Princeton, West Virginia, me and Zach go back.
