Keeping it grimy in Brooklyn. I love that. Will, welcome. It's awesome to have you on. I echo everything that Landon said. Your path to the top has been incredible. It's kind of the way it should be. And we're excited to pick your brain and hear so many of the anecdotes that helped you get there.

Um, well, just a quick one. If I take you back to your start, like I, I'm 46 years old and you know, I know what generation I'm a part of. And so I often talk about the kids and everybody wants a shortcut and anybody who's successful would tell you there, there's no shortcut. It's boring, boring getting to the top. And, um,

I think about that climb, you at Williams College, and saying, like, I'm willing to go to the bottom basement level to work my way up. And you and I share a mutual really good friend, Ben Tulebitz at the Yankees. And I'm just curious on how relationships kind of are important to you and impact the roles. I mean, I talked about starting at the bottom.

You're now at the top and you've been at the top in a couple of different organizations. How important are relationships to you, both upward and downward within those organizations?

Yeah. Well, let me ask you this because you are, I mean, that insight is incredible. And our listeners are going to be like just drooling because we are as well. There's so much that on the outside people don't understand. Now, my next question, though, I want to paint a picture for you. So I've been in MLS since 1998. I'm slightly older than Landon. He then came slightly after me.

But we've seen it. I was part of the group that said, to hell with this. We're going to take you to court because single entity is not fair. And then the court says, shut up and go play soccer. And it is fair, right? And so we know that in order, and Landon's talked about this a lot, from its inception, in order to keep the league together, there was very few owners.

You had to kind of keep things by the book or else this league, MLS, would end up like all the other North American soccer leagues and just go bust. But... As you said, we now have owners who are willing to invest. This sport is alive and well and more prosperous than it's ever been. And I'm an owner in the league, and we know valuations are incredibly high. You use the word mechanisms.
