I became chairman of my last business and I was really just involved in more in strategy and hiring key people and eventually helping find a buyer.

And I replaced myself as CEO because even then I was starting to get bored with them.

Just like, I'm not, there's nothing really new.

Like I want someone who's animated and excited about it to continue it.

Yeah.

So little by little, it's like I went from 80 hours down to 40 hours and that was the hardest thing because I love working, you know, really long days.

And I started to have my family.

Well, I was going to say, you do have kids, so.

Yeah.

My wife was like, hey, can instead of, you know, 10 o'clock at night, can you come home at like eight, you know, seven?

You know, it just kind of started working back.

Yeah.

And I wanted to watch my kids grow.

You know, I had created a life for us that I could, you know, and it's my fault if I'm not able to be around them.

Yeah, for sure.

Yeah.

They don't need any more trauma than maybe you or I had growing up or whatever, right?

Exactly.

It sounds like a Hallmark card, but love is spelled T-I-M-E.

Yes.
