So , um so , well , you already got the basketball star thing out of the way I feel like , so now you can be like a writer like , oh , you can be , you are , which is incredible . Um I love that your dad asked , when's your next book ? Do you think that really put a fire under you to write the next 100% 100% .
I hope so too . Um But yeah , it was my dad who actually I was giving a talk uh a couple of years ago and I was answering some questions and he was there in the audience and he raised his hand and I'm like , all right , here we go . Here we go .
Um And yeah , I just , I think when you read a lot eventually I sort of had this idea . Well , I think I could write one of these books and as a , you know , that kind of athlete mentality kicked in of like , well , if I think I can do something and I don't do it then that's on me . So then I just started writing it and , you know , here we are .
I love what you're telling me about it . It sounds almost like uh like it's like a , a motivational book but , but not , you know what I mean ? Like , it has the aspects of like a self-help book for a teenager without it being a self-help book which I like , I'm obsessed with like , an element of mystery there .
That's so what do you got ? WW when , when in your life did you think to become such an inspirational writer , such a progressive and helpful ? Well , yeah , I , I think uh a lot of that stems from my relationship with my friend of mine that passed away from sickle cell disease was he was someone that I watched Battle for years and never complained .
