What were you doing up there?

It's been quite the journey, both on the macro and the micro level, to wind up here at this table with you.

I spent about the last month sitting with a good friend of mine, one of my biggest mentors in my life.

I'd sit with him for hours on end while he was dying.

uh and um then i i had to leave him and i went out to the yukon sorry man uh we need to talk more about that by the way and uh i had i've got a teammate that i went through seal training and all with he was paralyzed 14 years ago

And he wanted to go on an adventure.

And I said, well, there's a race out there.

It's a thousand mile kayaking race.

It's the longest kayaking race in the world on the Yukon River.

Totally unsupported.

He said, all right.

He prepared for about two years.

And we went out there and did that on the Yukon River.

I came home and my buddy died the day I got home.

And so it's been a, man, it's been a while, last month or so.

Have you ever got to sit with anybody?

While they're dying.

Important to you?

Not while they're dying.

I highly recommend it.
