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. And I always think about how I buy myself. I go, yeah, I don't want to be sold. I'm the sales guy. I'm going to sell you kind of a thing. So there's a little reverse psychology.

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.

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
