If it were not for you I might not be where I am right now…
If it were not for you helping me and encouraging me to be focused and to keep at it, I might not be where I am right now. We spoke about many things from family life, to money, to life after ball. You were like that big brother I never had. Since the last time we spoke and you were telling me not to limit myself, I have my first LLC, Bnote Entertainment LLC, which owns the rights to The Best Jams (now a registered and trademarked brand). I have over seven DJs who DJ at The Best Jams radio stations all over the world. And now, we have nine radio stations. I am looking forward to you and me having umbrella drinks on an island with our families talking about old times and of course talking about our next goals and dreams.
