I don't think it's exactly an age number thing.

I think there's a lot of variables playing in there.

It worked for me and my wife because we had those variables.

Someone else, they may wait until they're 40 or 50, and it won't matter because they haven't built the skills.

It really is a skills thing.

It's a skill issue.

You can, but remember that we get wounded in childhood in relationships.

So you don't just go into a cave and fix yourself and then come out and you're good.

We have to get bonded in relationships.

But the magic of that is we can get bonded in human relationships everywhere.

So where you get better at business, you can get better at home if you generalize the skills at home.

A lot of my clients, they come in, they're older businessmen in their 50s and 60s and stuff.

They have incredible skills that they've wired in for CEO work at the office.

But they come home, they fumble everything at home.

Their wife can't stand them.

Their kids can't stand them because he doesn't know what to say.

All we have to do is generalize, hey, you know how you talk to your COO at work?

Yeah.

If you talk to your COO at work, how you talk to your wife, what would they do?

They would quit.
