You know, I've kind of gone through my own transformation last five years and, you know, out of shape and kind of stagnant my life to, you know, becoming a marathon runner and quitting alcohol and doing a bunch of things that they've seen me go through that journey. And I think one of the things that I really want them to do is find out what they're passionate about at an early age.
And that could be. My 10 year old just said, I don't want to play the violin anymore. And I don't want them to quit on things if they committed to it. But we went into this going, let's see if this is the instrument for you. And if it's not, then let's, we can find something else. So I'm trying to allow them to find their own way.

close people. I'm definitely aggressive and I'll definitely challenge people, but I want people to buy. I don't want them to feel sold. And in my space, I sell to salespeople.

You want what you can't have to some degree. But in parenting, to me, it's about leading by example myself. So my actions speak louder than my words. And they see how I treat my wife. They see how, you know, we were at Mount Rushmore and there was someone with a Vietnam war hat. And I just said, thank you for our service. And you know, this guy was very complimentary.

Oh, enough people don't say it. And then my eight year old at the time was asking me why I did what I did. Right. So it's, I'm not preaching to him. He's seeing me do things and I'm explaining to him why I carry on, but I didn't say you have to do this. Right. I just, if he thinks it's a, that's a good way to live your life, then they're going to follow. And I think
