And so that was really impactful to me because it helped me realize where I grew up, success looked like, oh, you get to retire on a beach, drink a margarita, and you don't have any worries. That would actually be detrimental to me. And so success means that I can stay in the mix, work on things I want to work on, not need to work on anything, but enjoy what I'm doing every day, staying active.

And I think that not only will keep me healthy, it'll keep me alive. Yeah. And so you've come to really enjoy the game itself. Trust me, there are days that I'm like, oh man, I'm in too deep again. You know, it happens. You get blinders on running a business. You forget about everything else in the world. And sometimes that's necessary. But in the big picture, yes. What I enjoy now is growth.

And growth is not comfortable. You know, I went to Iceland and trained on breath work and cold water exposure. Those are all just, I've done marathons and IMAs. Those are all growth opportunities for me. I learn from my kids every day. That's growth. And I'm learning in business every day. And that's growth. And growth is really important and also keeps me motivated.

I'll tell you when it's been at its best and when it's been at its worst. So my wife got really into Joe Dispenza meditations. And so we woke up every day at 6 a.m., we meditated for about a half hour, and then we got our day started. And we were done meditating and off with the day before the kids ever woke up. At night, we would take time after we put the kids to bed.

That was our time to catch up on the day and talk. Those are two really important things. That's when it looks at its best. Of course, you add in eating healthy and exercise and all that stuff, I think, which is kind of table stakes. At its worst, which I go through at times and now is one of them, I'm waking up just before the kids. I'm getting five minutes in with my wife.

I'm down at a coffee to get myself going and kind of frantic all day. It's never perfect for me. But the beauty, I guess, is I can realize when it's not perfect and adjust rather than just think that's how it is forever.

Those would probably be the same answers. And I think they are be willing to take risks and just take the first step. I will caveat that by saying the biggest mistakes I've made in my career have all been when I thought it was going to be easy, when I didn't put in the work and I wasn't going to be committed for the long haul. So I think there's real value in really digging into

what you're about to do or what you're considering doing, what you think it's going to take. Do you want to do it? Asking yourself all those questions up front, but don't get paralyzed by analysis. Take the first step because you know whatever plan you put together or whatever path you think you're going to take, it's absolutely going to be wrong on day one.

So just jump in, just start, be open to making mistakes, be open to learning and course correcting, right? Because progress is the key. There is no perfection. A hundred percent.

Yeah. A reframe of that for me is that it's only really a failure if you don't learn from it. And so we choose to look at life as life is happening for us, not to us. And so when you look at things through that lens, what could be perceived as a failure or a setback can also be perceived as the best redirect you could ever have. And that one that you may not have
