I'm reconnecting with Puerto Rico in the most beautiful ways.
And what a privilege.
It's my purpose to put it all back in.
So for me, life has become really, really simple.
That was kind of my last 10 years until the last two.
Until the next challenge comes.
That's what life is about.
The contrast of our challenges is what makes our growth feel meaningful.

Please tell the entire story of turning this basketball team in Puerto Rico around.
Oh, that's a nutty story.
Really?
We're going to go there.
A little bit of context.
Hurricane Maria was, I think it's seven years coming up now, six or seven years from now.

And I found this really interesting.
A lot of people ask me, oh, are you Puerto Rican or are you American?
I'm like, I am both.
I'm not a percentage.
