Then I got to figure out how do I speed that up? And if I speed that up, what am I losing? Right. What is the value that I'm going to miss out? Right. I may miss out on a learning tool or I may be so far ahead that I've missed out on a production. So it may get me there faster, but then I can't sustain it. Right. And that's not where I want to be at either. Right.

So you got to find that balance when it comes to that. And I think that other than success itself, you got to understand that just kind of what you said, your mentors may not always be in the industry that you're in. Right. So I love to have out of the box thinkers, someone that has nothing, a fresh pair of eyes, because when you're in the thick of it. You kind of get tunnel vision sometimes.

It is hard to step away when you're in the problem. But if I can go to someone who has no bias, right, no dog in the fight whatsoever, but just honorable person, someone that just has some forward thought that can kind of take things and just give me that honest opinion and evaluation, I'm all about it.

I think the different generation, probably the biggest thing is that they have to understand that they themselves now are no longer really a football player by itself, right? You're not just a player. As you transition to the professional side, that's a profession, right? So you got to understand that, right?

Being a profession, now you got to understand that you are brand, you are your own business. So technically, once you graduate, you become a CEO, whether you want to or not, with no skills, no knowledge of anything, that title is on you. And for them to grasp that, some of them do, right? Especially NIL when it comes into place.

If the proper education is given to them, I think they understand that and that transition is a little bit easier, but some don't. And it's a rags to riches kind of deal. And those are the other things for just responsibility, being financial like literacy, right? Understanding how that works, how money works, how it can work for you.

Small things, things that we're accustomed to now as I'm older, right? But I know no one was talking about that to me when I was younger, right? Like, I think NIL brings an open platform and a space for us to start having those conversations a little bit earlier, especially now in the high schools. Right. As they go to college.
