But how do you think that work ethic that you worked on for, you know, 20-plus years with football, now you can take some of those tidbits and apply them to your music career?

Yeah, that's a great question.

I think being an athlete in any category, you know, whatever that looks like for you, teaches you a lot.

Um, obviously being blessed enough to make it to the highest level, you have to endure a lot of adversity throughout childhood, middle school football, high school football, college football, and then also playing in the NFL.

I think it just teaches you about life.

Um, it's so normal for, like, businesses to, to hire athletes because of how-

[laughs]

Yeah.

So like from NFL practice to getting on stage.

Yeah.

And it was a yeah, that was the first time I like saying in front of people.

And I just remember like getting up there.

I'm like, this is not what it looks like, like on Instagram and stuff like all these people are staring at me.

It's not like football where you're like passively just playing a sport and they're like showing, you know, I have to entertain these people.

So that was like a learning curve, too.

A harsh question.
