00:03Oh, look at him!
00:06Hi, big guy!
00:08You're so handsome!
00:12We grew up with 25 horses.
00:14Our grandparents had over 500 head of beef cattle.
00:17Had a bunch of pigs growing up as well.
00:19My brand is always evolving, and I think that's a really cool thing.
00:23It's a basketball player, and now it's kind of leaning more into being a businesswoman.
00:30For us WNBA players, yes, because of our new CBA, we're getting paid more.
00:34But it still doesn't allow us just to retire and be done.
00:37We still have to invest.
00:42I'm very blessed with the platform I've been given.
00:44At the end of the day, we get to dribble in Orange Basketball for a living.
00:46And so I think that's super inspiring, but also you can have so much fun with that.
00:49Like, look where we're at today.
00:50Like, it leads us to do stuff like this.
00:53Oh, I just love this.
00:55I'm actually in the process of switching my podcast, which is absolutely fun.
00:59I think it's going to be so on brand when it comes out.
01:02It just gives you another platform for your audience and your fans
01:05and people who are a fan of basketball or a fan of Fever or women's sports in general.
01:09And I think this next one's going to lean more into just basketball and, you know, breaking down film,
01:14highlighting the great basketball that's being played right now.
01:17I love broadcasting in general because it allows fans and the audience to get to know the person more of
01:23like who they are outside of their sport.
01:25And I think that's so important because when you're inspiring the next generation, all they need is someone that maybe
01:30looks like them,
01:31that comes from where they come from or has something in common for them to like dream big and do
01:35something amazing.
01:35And that doesn't mean that they have to be a professional athlete.
01:38That could just give them the confidence to be whoever they want to be.
01:41And so I've really fallen in love with getting to know people outside of the court and like what they're
01:46about and what makes them them.
01:47I think it's just so special.
01:48Life isn't that serious.
01:50Like it's okay to have fun.
01:51It's okay to love people, bring people along with you.
01:53I think there's just so many blessings and so much to be happy and joyful about.
01:58Oh, I love.
02:01This is so cool.
02:03Embrace what makes you different than everyone else because that's going to be your biggest superpower.
02:07Comparison is the thief of all joy.
02:09And so being you is what's going to set you apart and make you be successful.
02:17.
