I've certainly gained more friends and developed more relationships over the 15 years I've been in this business than I can say have gone by the wayside. I'm certainly not a member of the NFL club, the no Friends Left club. I don't badger people. I don't fall into this. I don't follow the philosophy that you take no prisoners, that sort of thing. I've become associated with some of the most amazing people, some of the most amazing and gifted teachers, trainers, some of the people with hearts bigger than you could ever imagine. All these people have come to me and become my friends and become very close to me as a result of being in this business. And I think that that's one of the major benefits of being in this business, is you attract people around you. You become associated with people of a much, much higher caliber than in general.
