steve stout yeah thank you for having me as part of this talk to see where you guys have

started this business from and where it is today i'm'm proud of you. I can't wait to get

into this, man. I think you guys are doing is amazing. I told Rich, I listened to the Doc Rivers

conversation. That shit is crazy. Thank you, man. So I'll tell you, Steve shows up. You always show up

for me, man. I said that to Jack too, but i've known you for 20 years you've shown up

for me and introduced me to damn near half the people i know in this world when i was kevin and giani

when i was um 29 years old i got put in this book the johnny walker 30 under 30 it was like the kind of thing

that you know with all due respect to john Walker, meant nothing. But at the time,

for me, I felt like this was a real thing. And they asked me to name somebody that was a mentor

to me, someone I looked up to, and I chose Stout. And one of the number one reasons I chose Steve

was because I couldn't explain what he did. I loved it I loved that like I knew he

was involved in house party the movie that I grew up on I knew he was involved in naz's business
