I would, I would say when it comes to leaving your legacy, make sure you're telling the people in your life how you feel about them, what they mean to you, how proud you are of it. Not just your kids, but your wife and your friends and business partners and everybody. Just tell people how you feel. I think that's going to go a long way. Because you know what? |

And it's usually the last two have been local guys. But Brett's been a fan and follower of the movement for some time. So he reached out months ago. And I said, yeah, man, let's do it.
