Where did your vision come from?
I had a world-class Hall of Fame mentor coach when I was younger, who happened to be my dad.
And so that is where it came from.
And that is the only place it came from.
I've learned things along the way.
I've read a million books.
I've worked and I've collaborated with really sharp people in the business world, in the
finance community and hedge fund managers and all that.
I got I learned the secret sauce from an old son of Italian immigrants who became a
basketball coach and impacted as a result, thousands of people.
So that's my dad and that's where I get my DNA from.
That's amazing.
And so did he develop the concept of championship DNA?
Did you all hear that along the way?
I'm just curious about I know I'm being a little bit marketing in this, but where did
the championship DNA philosophy come from too?
That wasn't from him.
He had a championship DNA.
He installed in us a championship DNA, but that terminology that was that was over his
head. He was a simple guy.
So we came up with that.
One of one of my partners in the past said, you know, it just feels like we have this
mentality to win and overcome whatever needs to be overcame to achieve what we're
looking to achieve.
And he's like, it's almost like it's in our DNA.
And then I said, yeah, it is in our DNA.
And then we ended up just, you know, we use the phrase, get back to your championship
DNA because it isn't it isn't all of us.
And I hope you all take credit for that Foley, Tom, because that is that is an
uncovering of magnificent proportions.
You may have been born with the silver spoon in your mouth as far as father figures
and that relation, and nobody can blame you of that.
You've taken advantage of that opportunity Foley to secure and move the legacy
forward. I was born with a dad that wasn't quite there.
