And that period was rewarding.

And it wasn't that fulfilling.

So that's why I went and worked for Barack Obama for a couple years directly after Facebook, because I did find that a lot more fulfilling.

I've always had that sort of public, well before I had wealth, I had that public service focus or obsession.

And then on the other side of Facebook's IPO, obviously, it radically changed my life.

I was able to

you know, pay off student debt.

I bought my parents a house.

I mean, I, you know, have two kids today.

Anyway, it radically changed my life and set me on a different trajectory.

But my interest in stuff that animated me is still the same.

How do we make politics work?

How do we make the economy more fair?

I have more power now and ability to develop those ideas and push them, but also, you know,

You've got to do that in community with other people.

So that's why I wrote the book, why I'm out there talking about it, why I chair the Board of Economic Security Project, a nonprofit that's advocating for economic power for people every day.

Anyway, this is what I spend my time doing because it's fulfilling for me, and I also think it's just urgently needed.

I know, they're seven and five.

They're just the best.

It's Monday and I'm missing, I've spent most of the day with them.
