And he had this life alert button, but he didn't press it.

Because of pride?

Exactly.

He didn't want to bother anyone.

Yeah.

But you give people all this technology and then you realize there's a psychological part to it as well.

He waited until the morning, his caretaker arrived, rushed him to the hospital.

Thankfully he survived, but that's pride, guilt, shame, didn't want to bother someone.

So that's the physical balance.

And then I think the mental balance, as he said, like you were saying, is he was a very driven person and very successful with his coaching, but it meant a lot of time traveling, a lot of time

away from his family, not focusing on the things that he found incredibly important.

And as he got older, he felt like he could achieve more balance, spend more time doing the things he wanted, be around the people he wanted.

And I think that's a struggle for a lot of people.

We get really into something and we forget about it.

We're having a conversation, it's hard to stand up.

You get focused on things, but as you get older, maybe you're a little bit better at finding that balance and finding that peace.

Yeah, it's so interesting to see these age-related differences, but also to see how that's shifting.

And we're certainly living longer, for the most part, if you look at our history, and there's a variety of reasons for that, but you wanna make sure those years that we're adding are healthy ones, because the longer you live, the greater the chance of developing dementia.

I think from a psychological perspective, it's interesting because if you ask someone, how old do you feel?

That's very different than your biological age.
