Yeah, it's been, I think I said in the press conference, it's been really an organic experience.

Going from just sitting in on every meeting, listening and watching and observing and all these

incredible people that i got to be around and pick their brains and um take little bits of you know what they brought to the table what people liked about them so it's just been been a real process and surreal so it kind of still hasn't uh fully set in but uh just really excited and honored

Well, yeah, I think every experience I had was

I was molding who I wanted to be as, as a leader.

And, and it, it, it took some time to sort through what I felt worked, what I felt didn't work.

What, what I, again, what I saw in, in players and staff members and trying to, how, how would I form something that's sustainable and, and that promotes people getting better and improving and not just players, but staff.

So it,

Every step along the way, I've learned.

I've always said I've tried to sometimes just shut up and listen.

Sometimes you can really learn a lot about a lot of things if you're just attentive and observe.

I'm definitely not the loudest guy in the room.

Well, I've been through, I guess you could say, kind of three regimes, right?

And so many good people and so many good leaders.

And yeah, anytime somebody moved on, you felt it never feels good.

And that's where I tried to learn, okay, why?

Or what could you have done differently?

What could you have surrounded yourself with something different?

Or it's all...

it's all been just banking in, in, in my mind.
