Q for me was, you know, I always kind of put these people on a pedestal. But in fact, they have the same, you know, they're very similar. And especially when you get to know a lot of these people, they have insecurities. They, they don't have, you know, they're not super, a hundred percent superhuman in a lot of senses. Do you agree with that? Do you disagree with that?
A No, a hundred percent. I agree with that. And I think Jordan and being around him as much as I had been around him and being able to spend time with him, He appreciates when you talk to him as a normal person and you don't put him on this huge pedestal. He just wants to have interactions with you as a normal human being versus like, oh my God, this and this and this and making it really awkward. And I think that's where like at any, at any particular point in time, when you come around somebody who has some sort of celebrity and as well known, it's when you treat them no different than you would treat your best friend and talking to them. And that's what they really appreciate versus it kind of being something else, uh, outside of the box. And obviously you want to respect their space and time, especially when they're eating and then with their families and whatnot, but just keeping a cordial and, and kind of like that high and by and, or just like normal conversation. Like I really appreciate, appreciate what you've done in the past and so forth and so on. Like that's where I've had my best interaction with people. And I know I'm a little bit jaded cause people don't always kind of look at me as a everyday person, but that's how I look at it.

Q Go ahead. Yeah. I have a question around, uh, Meeting your heroes and pinch me moments, you know, I'm sure you've what's, you know, you've been in a lot of, you know, situations where, you know, you meet your hero and you have this opportunity to spend two, 3:04 hours with that person. Um, could you share a little bit about how that feels?
A Yeah, um, I would probably say, obviously Warren is somebody I've always looked up to and have known about and seen his success. Uh, another person that I would definitely put in that category were two people. Um, one is Michael Jordan, uh, and then two is Barack Obama. And Barack Obama was probably the most, like, eye-opening of saying, I've kind of made it, and I've never looked at myself that I've ever made it and, and think that I'm some sort of celebrity, but when he gets off of Air Force One, and I'm sitting in Portland, Oregon, because I'm, I'm, I was a buddy of mine as a federal agent, and he said, hey, potentially you could meet Obama. Uh, he's coming to Portland. I'm doing some of the security detail, and we can have friends and family come in, and sometimes he stops, sometimes he doesn't, and he stops, and I'm right at the front of the rail, and he's like, And Dom can see like, what are you doing in Portland, Oregon? And I was like, man, aren't you supposed to be training somewhere right now? And I was like, man, I'm from here, uh, and born and raised. And we just had two, three minute conversation, just talking about a bunch of different things. And he was like, man, uh, we definitely have to stay connected. I want to, uh, I love the things that you've been doing and seeing that you've been working on, especially, uh, on my philanthropic endeavors. And so he was, he…
