The dynamics change because they're grownups. We treat them differently. But they are absolutely, we love each other so much. We have such a warm relationship. You know, you can't buy this kind of influence. You can't succeed your way into this kind of influence. You have to just do the work with them, right? When it comes to sort of comfort and what you referred to earlier,

What we did is that we invested a ton of time and money, literally from age zero, to travel. And it would be Paris, you know. It could be an all-inclusive resort. And it would be the slums of Rio de Janeiro. or the barriers of Mexico and Tijuana, or the just under $2 a day slums in Maputo, Mozambique. And they would be with us the whole time, right? They know the third world since they were born.

Even though they grew up in America, they were exposed to the contrast. And we spoke about the things and we told them the stories, you know. So I think that's the way it's exposure, really.

And they want, if you do that, they will never be sort of those classic cliche people where they go, Oh, they don't know how they're so entitled. No, they won't be. So when people say it's a generational thing, it's not a generational thing. It's a parenting thing.

My kids are the exact same generation that they accuse of, oh, give me this much money and I'm not going to show up and I'm going to make sure. No, my kids work hard. Why? It's not because they're... belong to a generation because they were brought up in an environment, right? So, but yeah, you're absolutely, I mean, apprenticeship is so beautiful of a concept.

It's actually a concept that is widely needed for grownups, right? Apprenticeship. You mentioned sort of bringing them to the workspace. I was thinking, I was like, they've seen me on stage when I was doing music. They were sitting, I have pictures of them sitting in a set when I'm shooting a $160,000 music video in a production company when we did that in LA.

And they're hanging out with extras and camera people and grips and they're just hanging out there and seeing the whole thing. And, you know, they've seen me produce videos, they've seen me do this, right? So my youngest one, her name is Bella, Bella Flores, you can look her up on Instagram, is just crushing it as an influencer, right?

She edits, she shoots, she knows, she has this aesthetic about her, she understands how to frame something. And she's, honestly, I don't think she's ever going to send a job application ever. She's not even out of college, right? She's getting brand deals right now in college and partnering and designing clothing lines and stuff like this. Ridiculous, right? Yeah. Well, why?

Well, because she grew up watching us do stuff, you know? So, and all three of them are very different, very, very different. But they all three have a work ethic, right? And they all three have almost like an internal freedom of, I'm going to pursue this and I'm going to pursue that. I'm going to puzzle for a bit. And we're like totally fine with that, right? Yeah.
