How would you say that your companyhelps drive the local economy Over our seven,
one of our biggest goals is takingthe money that we meant you know,
the profit and putting it back intothe community. For an example,
I have a camp coming up rightand being as the partial owner of our
seven, we're going to take someof that money that we have made so
far and put that into the camp, put it back into the youth,

(02:12):
put it back into the community.That way, we can help build a
community, helps he thrive in aprosperous way. Wonderful. Are there any
philanthropic causes that you support or tellus what they are? So over my
career, you know, since I'vebeen you know, a football player,
I've worked on many causes. Rightnow, I'm really focused on the youth.
So I have a bunch of youngerbrothers, sisters. I have eight

(02:36):
siblings. Everything about me was beinga positive role model for them, so
I wanted to take that same thingand you know do and bring it to
my community. I know that whereI come from, a lot of kids
don't have their fathers or their householdsmay be troubled. So I just wanted
to give them something positive, aperson that they could try to emulate and
become and hopefully, you know,be successful in life and do the same

(02:57):
things I'm doing, which is tryingto build the community. I always have
a fun question to ask, sothis is my fun question for you.
So what would be your advice toyour seventeen year old self? My advice
to my seventeen year old self wouldbe to listen more. As I've gotten
older, I realized that I don'tknow everything right. So I've gotten into
a position whereas that of me talking, I like to listen to people talk.

(03:22):
I feel like I've grown so muchas a person individual just by listening,
hearing people out, taking advice,learning from other people's mistakes right and
I having to make those same mistakes, or learning the saying what they did,
just learning through their experiences rather thanlearning through mine. But yes,
that's what I tell myself. Itcould save you a lot of hardships.
I've done a couple of different businessessince I've been you know, since I've

(03:44):
been in the league, and man, it's a lot of ups and downs,
and a lot of them I wishI would have took more advice on.
So that would be the biggest thingto help myself from some of the
hardships and losses that I've taken.Would be just simply listen, just listening
to people. I love that.Is there anything else that you want to
add to our audiences to know moreabout your company? Just be on a
