She supported me through business school, she supported me through VISTA and private, and we'll get into the kind of career stuff, and then supporting Saronic. Just, I couldn't do it without her. Sounds like an amazing woman. She's absolutely incredible. Our kids are incredible, and it's just, If I'm not working, I'm with them. Full-time mom? Full-time mom.

She had a phenomenal career before switching and becoming a full-time mom and staying at home. And it's funny. I'll come back to that because I'll get into the story and kind of like when we founded Saronic and everything. But going back to kind of the childhood stuff, the whole point was you generally stayed out of trouble. But my wife's parents thought I was a huge pain in the ass.

So when she brought me home for the first time, they were really confused. But over time... We're very close, and their story's just as amazing. My wife was born in Greece. Her parents grew up there. They came over to the United States without a dollar in their pocket when they were 20 years old. They worked hard, saved money. My wife grew up poor. And so the parents worked hard.

I mean, it's the American dream. It's literally the American dream. So I got to see that growing up and live with that. The other thing I did was I played a bunch of sports. So if I wasn't working, I was playing sports. And I got really into basketball at a young age. And I use sports now with my kids to kind of teach lessons. I don't actually care how good they are at the sport.

But one of the most important lessons I learned was my freshman year in high school through basketball. And I was going to this, one of the more elite high schools for basketball in New Jersey. They had a great team, a great program. Half of the people that come out of that high school go to D1. And so as a freshman, I was really, I was intimidated. I was kind of okay. I was good.

I was on the freshman team. I was good enough to get into the program, but I wasn't a star in the program. And so I was looking at that, and I've actually never told this story. This is, and think about how much this impacted, this is 30 years ago. So I was looking at where I was in relation to the rest of the group.

And so much of my identity was tied up in that sport that I was terrified of not making it the next year. And so I quit. Really? I quit. I finished out the year. I made up some excuse of why I wanted to go to a different high school. I went to a subpar high school where I ended up being a subpar basketball player. I struggled for the next three years in the sport. I struggled.
