If you go get him, I'm holding you accountable.

Wow.

So what's funny is people hear the story, they read my book, and they might have heard me tell a more detailed version.

And they go, well, I didn't go through that but.

And I always, I get it.

But it's not the thing you went through.

It's how you felt about what it was.

It's how you interpreted it, yeah.

So when you ask that question, yes, yes, yes, yes, and everything.

I got diagnosed with ADHD when I was 11.

So immediately I told myself a story.

You're broken.

Now my parents didn't mean to make me feel that way, but that's what I told myself because I was given this pill that if I didn't take, I acted out at school and they'd have to come get me.

And then I learned just through circumstances that my dad wasn't around a lot because he was trying to provide for a family at four.

So he was in sales and he was traveling.

He's on the road a lot.

I couldn't appreciate that until I was an adult and had my own kids.

And I learned that if I acted up at home, my mom had to call my dad.

So as a kid that missed his dad, I correlated that if I just acted up, dad shows up.

Now, it might not have been the attention I wanted, but it got the attention.
