00:00So I would love to know what personal, let's say, story or something that you overcome
00:06that you think led you to become so successful, especially in the new lane that you got into
00:11when it came to sports journalism.
00:14Well, one, I think just having some humility and understanding that the blessings that
00:21I have, they don't come from me.
00:25Like, I humbly say that most of what people see on TV is divine intervention.
00:31The rest of it is just me working hard.
00:34I also, I try to learn from other people's mistakes, and that's why it's important to
00:38listen to your veterans in the locker room, your OGs, and your mentors in real life, because
00:43typically they have been there and done that.
00:45And if you listen to them, you can avoid some of the roadblocks and obstacles that life will
00:50inevitably throw your way.
00:51You beat me to my follow-up question, and that was going to say, what did Gail King
00:56specifically teach you?
00:57If she gave you any sort of advice?
00:59Well, the first time I was on the show, she saw me in the green room, and she leaned into
01:04my ear and she said, don't F up.
01:07She smiled, she laughed, but she also told me to be myself and show up as the version of
01:13the person that they brought into the studio.
01:16Don't try to adapt and be anyone other than who we hire.
01:20Yeah.
01:21No puns.
01:22No puns.
01:22Yeah.
