Alexis Ohanian

And we started talking and she said, listen, The rest of my team was going to use this table. So can you just move when they get here? And I said, no, but they can join me. And well, I'll just have breakfast. And so we exchanged numbers. And I saw her play later that night in Rome. And that was the start of it all. So it's breakfast at a hotel, the Cavalieri in Rome.

Great breakfast, wonderful truffle omelet. If you want to get the Alexis special, it's the truffle omelet. It's a great, great omelet.

With our kids, it's the cliche. You want them to be happy, productive members of society. I'd say the other wrinkle I'll put on there, and I tell Olympia this all the time, and I will tell Adira. Again, she's just one. She's doing her best.

She's an active kid. Yes, at six.

But whatever they want to do, I have zero tolerance. I should say we have zero tolerance for them not trying their absolute best. Again, I know that seems cliche. Like I don't even let Olympia say can't. We'll see how long that lasts. But I will not let her say can't. If she says can't, I'm like... What was that? We don't say that word.

Because I don't even want her uttering that she can't do a thing. Like, you can choose not to do it, but we don't say that word. And I try to reiterate to her, I want her to love the act of trying things. We used to do, there's a YouTube channel, there's a few actually, that'll do these drawing classes. And I'm pretty good drawing. I made the Reddit logo, Snoo. I draw pancakes.

And during COVID, I was like, hey, we're going to do drawing class. Pop can do art class. I can do math and English, but art's more fun. So we're going to do art classes together. And, you know, early on, she'd be like, wow, Papa, you're really good at drawing. And I'm like, do you think I was born this way? And she was like, maybe. And I was like, no, it's like Papa practiced. Papa drew a lot.

And I want even for mundane things like, hey, we're drawing Princess Peach. I desperately want her to take only one thing away, which is even the stuff you think your Papa is great at. He sucked at when he started. Even the things your mama is great at, maybe she didn't suck at when she started. But, like, she had to learn. She was bad. She had to get better.

You might have some natural inclinations here and there for different stuff. But I want to see her get comfortable with failing and struggling and then improving. Getting her into golf has been open. I had never played golf. But Uncle Tiger gave me some clubs for her. So I was like, Olympia, you got to play golf now. And we go to lessons every Sunday.

And that actually has been a great sport for humbling and for getting her comfortable with the process because it's such a brutally hard sport.
