Fun game.
I played this with my wife and my kids and my in-laws one time and I'll never forget it.
My father-in-law had a very, very successful career as an entrepreneur and executive in the kind of healthcare and insurance world.
And we were doing this game and his last one was grandfather.
So that was like the role that he kept as his final, most important one.
And he is an unbelievable, like the Michael Jordan of grandfathers.
Like he is unbelievably good at being a grandfather.
It's like, makes me emotional thinking about it and so thankful for it.
And the difference it makes in my kid's life and his other grandkids' life is extraordinary.
And so...
Dan is his name.
Dan is no longer a major healthcare executive.
He's still an entrepreneur.
He can't, he's not given it up completely, but he definitely devotes himself more to something like that, which in some sense is much smaller and in other sense is the biggest possible thing you could do.
And so even the people that sort of like stop the commercial side that I love tend to find a thing to pour themselves into.
And in this case, it's the same thing we've been talking about this whole time.
It's an act of service to show up at everything, to be the most reliable, to be the most fun, just over and over and over again.
the in this case in the role of grandfather um so i think that's exciting for my own life that maybe when i'm 70 i i won't do any of this stuff and i'll do something else that's totally different but my attitude towards it hopefully will be the same and that will be because i've gotten the privilege of watching people like him do that sort of role at that stage of their life so back to your original question
The people I love and admire most do pour themselves into what they're doing, regardless of what that role is, even as that role shifts around as life goes on.
I mean, honestly,
