Metal, I hope people learn from me, you don’t have to do it their way.
People want to say to me ‘Oh, you’re taking a place’ or this and the third. Can you tell me what to do to help increase success? Because the problem is, if I did what people thought I should do, I wouldn’t be here. If I was successful the way people tell me I should succeed, I wouldn’t be here.
If I tried to live a successful life as people tell me, I wouldn’t be here.

Why is now a good time to retire?
I think it’s time. Miami gave everything I could, but I lost a lot too. I lost the concept of time. I have nothing in return. Miami lost both parents.
What do you think you missed?
My son plays games, family events, birthdays, holidays. Just memories. Now I know that when you grow up, when it’s all over, all you have are memories. I was thinking, ‘You will have the time. You will always have the equipment’. Now that I’m older, I know that all you need is memories with these people. Therefore, you need to make sure you create memories.
When did your parents die?
I lost my mother 13 years ago. I lost my father two years ago. So, when you get to that stage in your life where you know, man. All that’s left is memories and then you want to create more with the people you love. So now I just want to create as many memories as possible with the people I love.
