00:00This is a test.
01:00I'm preparing for the interview with Tito Boy and I think it's going to be focused more
01:20on my relationship with my mom.
01:22She was a pillar definitely on my career.
01:24I mean, I wouldn't be here without her, right?
01:35Welcome to my mother's life story.
01:56There's a lot of ways that I think at least can be helped.
02:01I think we really need to push for a change in the law that would allow governing bodies
02:08to, I'm not saying to control the NSAs, but to implement and enforce that they do what's
02:15their responsibility, which is to take care of the athletes, make sure that the athletes
02:19are doing what's best, training as much as possible.
02:23That's all they need to do.
02:32Families are meant to be families and I think we shouldn't discuss money within the table
02:36and I think with that, you know, you open a bunch of doors that you don't really want.
02:41And I'm not saying I don't trust it.
02:43It's not like that.
02:44I just avoid that conflict.
02:46If we can avoid problems with that, better.
02:51When you reach a certain age, you realize your parents are actually pretty smart people
02:56and you realize how much experience they have.
03:00For me, that's what family is.
03:02They really do guide you.
03:03They give you a good sense of your moral compass and as long as you have that, I think you
03:08make the right decision.
03:10This is an interview with a person who has no effort at all to be who he's not.
03:22This is Ejo Viena and my mother is Maria Gineto Viena and this is my story.
