Have fun. Enjoy yourself.
4.15, the alarm clock goes off. I immediately hit the snooze button. Eight minutes, the snooze button goes off again. So then I get up, I say my prayers, go take a shower. get out the shower. I try to sit and meditate for at least, at least five minutes because, you know, I'm cutting it close like in the morning to do morning radio. It's a game of inches.
So I try to do at least five minutes, but I read out of two affirmation books every day. I read out of Ryan Holiday's The Daily Start and I read out of Robert Greene's Daily Laws, I think it's called. And then I read what those affirmations are. I kiss my wife while she's asleep. I blow kisses to all my daughter's rooms. Then I get in my car, go downstairs and I'm either listening to
A podcast like yours or Jay Shetty or Debbie Brown or I'm listening to. I love the Jon Stewart's The Weekly Show whenever he does his episodes because I think that he just does some of the greatest political conversations right now. But that's usually what it is. I just try to listen to something I know is going to get my attention. energy where it needs to be.
And my intention every day is the same. My intention every day is to serve. So I just wake up every day and I say, you know, God, I'm grateful for another day of life. I'm thankful for another day of life. And, you know, whatever the day brings today, because I know it's going to be a new adventure every single time. I know it's never a dull moment. I'm ready for it.
Man, in ways that I can't even imagine because I'm nowhere near, the type of disciplinarian my father was. Like I'm not putting any type of hands on my daughters in any way, shape or form. I apologize to them a lot. My oldest daughter, she's 16. You know, I snapped at her about something. We going back and forth about something.
I had to check myself and realize like, oh, this don't got nothing to do with her. You know, it's something I'm projecting onto her. I'm projecting my fears onto her the same way I said my father raised me out of fear and not love. So when you apologize, I remember apologizing to my 16-year-old daughter and she said to me, it's okay, you've never done this before. Meaning this is your first time
As a father, this is your first time raising a 16 year old girl, which is very true. So I'm not going to always get it right. And you think about how, man, you long for like just apologies from your parents, because I know a lot of the things that they might have done to us when we were younger. They didn't know any better.
They were just doing the best they could with the knowledge and the information and the wisdom they had at the time. So it's the same thing now. So when you ask me how my daughter's changed me, I really don't. know yet. I just know I am being changed.
There is just something that's changing me as just a human because the one thing I'm really fighting now is realizing that you got to relinquish control because you cannot control anything that happens to these four little beautiful souls. You can't nothing like, you know, anything you could do is love them, encourage them.
You know, I try to give my daughters the best experiences that they possibly can can have and just teach them to be really great people. The things that my mother and father and my grandmother instilled in me that really stuck with me my whole life. I try to give to them like when I tell them, you know, man, this will take you where money won't.
You know, I tell them when you walk into a room, make sure you make eye contact with everybody. You speak to everybody like just just say hello. Like, you know, because everybody is a human being worthy of that that level of respect. Treat the custodian the way you treat the CEO.
Like, you know, that's I'm big on that, especially with my nine year old, because if there's any one of my daughters who is, you know, hell-raiser like I was when I was a kid, it's my nine-year-old. But, you know, my only thing with her is you need to have that same smoke for the teachers at school. Don't come to the parents and the people that love you and be crazy.
Because I was crazy everywhere when I was your age. I don't tell her that, but that's my mindset. You know, but I do tell her, you know, you come home and I know you act with us the way that you don't act with At school. I don't ever hear about this type of behavior with you at school. At school, you see, oh, she's a pleasure and she's great. But at home, you know. Do you know what that means?
Man, you know, I remember during COVID, because my daughter is 16. I think she might have been like 13, 14. We started putting her in therapy, not for any reason other than why not? You know, it's like she's an athlete. She's working out all the time, right, for cheer. So it's the same thing. It's just like, why not go learn what you might be dealing with early?
And I remember during COVID, she came to us and she goes, She's crying. I'm overwhelmed. She was like, I'm overwhelmed. She said that she was like, I'm overwhelmed right now. And I was like, do you think me or your mom would be upset that your grades are slipping during this unprecedented time? None of us have ever had to experience anything like this. I can only imagine being in eighth grade.
And you're sitting there trying to do clay projects on the floor. And you're, you know, trying to get through class during the day on your computer. Like, I can only imagine. But the fact that she had the language to come to us and tell us she's overwhelmed. My nine-year-old and six-year-old, same way. I talk to them about going to therapy.
I tell them about, you know, dealing with anxiety, dealing with depression. Now you got movies like... Inside Out. You know, you got movies like Inside Out that are showing them their emotions and their feelings. Inside Out, part one and part two. So these kids have the language. And that's all I really want.
I don't know how possible it is, but I've always said all I want to do is raise trauma-free babies, man. That's it. I mean, I know that they're going to go through their own experiences in life and they're going to have their own things that they got to deal with. But I want to at least raise, have them have a trauma-free childhood as much as possible.
Yeah, I receive it from you. You know, for me, I'm just trying to be a good father, trying to be a better father than my dad was. I mean, it's not like my dad was a bad father at all. I don't I don't ever want to say that. But he will tell you about his his own issues. And, you know, just me learning what I've learned, not just about him, but, you know, through the work I've done on myself.
