They’re concerned with my leasing, oil and gasoline, actual property, and so after I acquired the Cowboys, I acquired it in order that we might all work collectively,” he says. “I assumed I used to be doing it for them, however the one which acquired essentially the most out of it was me.”
He then goes on to warn Monty that he shouldn’t let treasured time cross with out his household. “I simply realize it’s not going to be this time, however you’re gonna be sitting right here someday, laying right here someday sooner or later, and this room’s going to be filled with your corporation associates and other people you’ve labored with your entire life, and greater than seemingly, your youngsters are going to be there as a result of they’re your youngsters and your loved ones. However you could possibly have them there as a result of they’re the individuals you spent your life with, you labored with, you fell down with, you bought up with, not simply Thanksgiving and Christmas.
