And so now in hindsight, it's very interesting to think, number one, NBA teams don't give workouts to motivational speakers from convincing email.

That's not how it works.

But what I learned in Phoenix is sometimes they make an exception.

The second thing that I've learned in hindsight from that whole experience, now that I get to work with about five different NBA teams, is there's more than one way to be in the NBA.

And I never, I would have never seen that or known that had I not been willing to go out there and say, hey, let me give it a shot.

But I just kind of have that model of just like, hey, let's just see what happens.

And you won't know unless you decide to put yourself out there and try some stuff that you've never tried before.

Oh my gosh.
