Right, boardroom. It's a 18 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 3: company that you guys started, you and KD and it's 19 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 3: a media company built around athletes. 20 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 2: Right is that correct? 21 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 4: Built around the business of sports and you know, I 22 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 4: think some parts of entertainment as well. 23 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 3: Okay, talking about starting that, why that was an idea 24 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,479 Speaker 3: that you wanted to start and getting that up and runner. 25 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. 26 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 4: Well so when I kept when I ultimately started my 27 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,040 Speaker 4: own business with Kevin, it was investing, and it was 28 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,559 Speaker 4: managing his business and managing his Nike business and helping 29 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 4: him build out his foundation and everything that he's doing 30 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 4: in PG County. And it was like building that family 31 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 4: office at thirty five Ventures. And we had a lot 32 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 4: of deal flow and a lot of opportunity, and we were, 33 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 4: you know, working on TV and film projects, and what 34 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 4: I realized was that I needed a way to storytell 35 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 4: around what we were doing. 36 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 2: First. 37 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 4: That was my first thing was like, you need we're 38 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 4: in a climate now through social media that had become 39 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 4: so present in everyone's life at the time, and the 40 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 4: need to be able to storytell and position what you 41 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 4: were doing in your business as much as just doing it. 42 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 2: This is twenty sixteen, Yeah, okay, gotcha. 43 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 5: So I'm thinking in terms of KDI thirty five Ventures, 44 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 5: this is like he's with the Warriors, or he's about 45 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 5: to go to the Warriors now. 46 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 4: So when I left when we went when he went 47 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 4: to the Warriors. That's around the time we start our 48 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 4: own business, and that's sixteen to eighteen was building out 49 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 4: that family office of thirty five ventures and establishing that 50 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 4: side of Kevin's business. And then in twenty eighteen, what 51 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 4: I realized was that we didn't have that vehicle. 52 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 2: To really storytell around. 53 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 4: And I knew from investing that just starting a media 54 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 4: business was going to get laughed at. Like what was 55 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 4: the point of us to try to replicate a model 56 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 4: that people in Silicon Valley were saying was broken? You know, 57 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 4: you weren't just going to invest in somebody because of 58 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 4: an audience or eyeballs or metrics. You had to build 59 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 4: a business with a purpose and something different. And again, 60 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 4: like I'm sure you guys, as you've built your business, 61 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 4: knew the same thing, Like I'm not going to do 62 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 4: that model that was fifteen years ago, and what you 63 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 4: guys have done is a new model that has been created. 64 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 4: And for me, I was trying to figure out what 65 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 4: it was that made Kevin and I different. If I 66 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 4: could figure that out, then I think that would allow 67 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 4: us to start something that at least would embody us. 68 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 4: And then that would have to be authentic because it's us, 69 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 4: and where that went I didn't know, and we were 70 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 4: trying to figure it out, and we were talking a 71 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 4: bit about it, and investors, I mean founders of companies 72 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 4: were really taking to us and our strategy as a 73 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 4: strategic investor, like how we worked. 74 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 2: They were really taking to our style. 75 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 4: And I realized that the more I could do work 76 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 4: for these companies, the more we were going to get 77 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 4: great deal flow and to really prove ourselves as an investor. 78 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 4: So to have that vehicle would also benefit that side 79 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 4: of our business. So I still was sitting on it, 80 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 4: and then I went to a dinner at Peter Gouber's 81 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 4: house or a lunch during NBA All Start weekend. And 82 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 4: I don't know if this happens to you guys, maybe 83 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 4: during your conference when you had five hundred thousand people in. 84 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 5: The estimated where you look at yourself and you're like 85 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 5: what the fuck? 86 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 2: Like what the fuck? 87 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 4: And I'm a fan of this whole world that I 88 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 4: that I live in, that I work in. 89 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 2: I'm still a fan of all of it on another level. 90 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 4: So I'm at Peter Goober's house and pat Riley sitting 91 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 4: on one side of me, and Jack Dorsey's on one 92 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 4: side of me, and this NBA owner, and I'm like. 93 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 2: How the fuck did I get here? This is my 94 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 2: life's dream, And it was because of basketball. It's how 95 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 2: I saw it. 96 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 4: It was because Kevin Durant believed in me and trusted 97 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 4: in me and these rooms that he was able to 98 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 4: walk into because of how great he was at the 99 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 4: game of basketball. That as a kid, if I had 100 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 4: known that the sports world looked like that, that there 101 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 4: was a way in like that, I would have been 102 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 4: like from day one. So I said, let me create 103 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 4: a brand that really represents that, that there's a world 104 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 4: around sports and entertains where it all makes sense, where 105 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 4: people in the boardroom are wearing sweats, where everyone's different colors, 106 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 4: different genders, and even though it might not be the 107 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 4: richest people in the room, they're making a lot of 108 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 4: the decisions and they're deciding what's fresh, and they're influential 109 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 4: and they can dictate where money moves. And that that 110 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 4: was what I wanted the brand to represent, where all 111 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 4: that intersected a bit, and just to become a storyteller 112 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 4: and an amplifier of other great people and other great 113 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 4: successes and to be a voice a bit of all 114 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 4: of the action that was happening in this world and 115 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 4: to really sit there and be complimentary. And as the 116 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 4: business has grown, that's still at the core of it. 117 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 3: So it's immedia.

There's always been conflicts, but now we're seeing 177 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 3: it they actually on the other side of it and 178 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,719 Speaker 3: controlling the narrative in the media. So talk about the 179 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 3: dynamic that you see from the change and athletes complaining 180 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 3: about media to them actually taking control and owning a 181 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 3: piece of media. 182 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 2: Yeah. Man, I think it's a beautiful thing. 183 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 4: I think because in sports, as much as any part 184 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 4: of society, the media, creating a storyline actually has such 185 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 4: real life implications. And in the real world now sadly 186 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 4: we're seeing it on the highest level. But this has 187 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 4: been happening in sports for a while. And I think 188 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 4: during Kevin's free agency, when we set up that whole 189 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 4: scene in the Hamptons, it really hit me of like, wait, 190 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 4: like you because I remember Kevin said to me once like, man, 191 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 4: this shit ain't world news or something, and I'm like, no, 192 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 4: I think it is. 193 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 2: Bro, I think this is world news. Like this is 194 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 2: what it's come to. 195 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 4: So, you know, the idea that an athlete not just 196 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 4: can create and command their own narrative, but can build 197 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 4: and tire ecosystem where entire narrative can be created and 198 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 4: an athlete can drive it, but an athlete can find 199 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 4: other creators and other athletes and other partners and other 200 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 4: stories that they want to tell and that they can control. 201 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 4: But I look at it as a bigger thing than that, 202 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 4: because I look at these athletes now, it's just some 203 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 4: of the most sound young entrepreneurs. 204 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 2: Not everybody, but a lot of. 205 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 4: Athletes are exposed early to the conversation of business, you know, 206 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 4: like my daughter's I had a fourteen year old and 207 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 4: a ten year old. If my fourteen year old was 208 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 4: an incredible, potentially professional athlete, I'd be talking to her 209 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 4: about business and life right now. I'd have to be 210 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 4: preparing her for what some of these conversations mean that 211 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 4: people are having with her, and what some people want 212 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 4: from her when they talk to her. And then all 213 00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 4: of a sudden, now at fourteen years old, she'd be like, 214 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 4: really way ahead of the curve in terms of how 215 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 4: to approach business and life and people, because that's not 216 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 4: what you're telling your fourteen year old. You're teaching them 217 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 4: certain things. But now these kids are seventeen eighteen years old, 218 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,959 Speaker 4: and they're already thinking about things that I just never 219 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 4: thought about at that point. In my life or maybe 220 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 4: even understood or had that information. So I think what 221 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 4: you're seeing is this incredible trend of athlete moguls, like 222 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 4: potential moguls, not all moguls, but that's where their minds 223 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 4: are at, and with that they can control the narrative. 224 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 5: It's interesting the conversation that you have with your daughter 225 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 5: does a trust that's there obviously as a father, the 226 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,719 Speaker 5: conversation with KD. I'm interested because we see a lot 227 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,199 Speaker 5: of I mean pretty much everybody has an agent, but 228 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 5: really do we see clients create businesses with their agent? 229 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 5: So what was that relationship like with for him to say, 230 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 5: you know what, this is something I want to do 231 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,199 Speaker 5: with you. How long did it take for you to 232 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 5: build that rapport and to get to the point where 233 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 5: it's like, yeah, this is not my agent, this is 234 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 5: also my business. 235 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. I guess just. 236 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 4: In business time four years two thousand and twelve to 237 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 4: around two thousand and fifteen, actually, so three years. 238 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:13,839 Speaker 2: But I had met. 239 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 4: Kevin his rookie year through La who I was managing 240 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 4: at the time, and they're both from the DMV. So 241 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 4: I think it was this level of trust in our 242 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 4: relationship that we had had but it was also a 243 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 4: bit of the climate of you know, of the business, 244 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 4: like what Lebron had started to build and create was 245 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 4: becoming in a lot of ways like the North Star, 246 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 4: you know. And then what I think Kevin and I 247 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 4: both grew up around watching like these hip hop labels 248 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 4: of the nineties build these economies where bad boy at 249 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 4: the center and it's vodka, magazines, parties, records, clothing, and 250 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 4: that was something that was really aspirational. 251 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 2: I think that was something I mean that. 252 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 4: Was at the core of a lot of that era 253 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 4: of athletes thinking about their business and then you know, 254 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 4: in a lot of ways being able to say, all right, 255 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,199 Speaker 4: well I can control all of this, Like I sit 256 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 4: at the center of this economy and there's ways to 257 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 4: build business all around it. And I think then the 258 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 4: natural evolution was that because the trust we had as 259 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 4: his agent and someone that I knew for a while, 260 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 4: there was a confidence that we could do something together. 261 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,959 Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child 262 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador 263 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with 264 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just 265 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President 266 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: Donald J.
