My ability to lean into my sister would have been so much harder today than it was 15 years ago for a few simple reasons.

Okay.

In order to access empathy, emotional regulation, um, anything that requires me to be grounded in my own body means I need some stillness.

I need some noise, some noiselessness.

And if you think about what happens to those of us responsible for leading other people right now, A, they've never had this much access to us.

We're the first generation of leaders where

we don't get a break.

So when I get up in the morning, my phone is attached to me.

Because I mean, I'm a big deal.

I mean, just like you, you know, you never know, there might be somebody wants to talk to you.

Okay.

And it's so easily accessible.

Okay.

When my dad would come home from work, just imagine that when my dad would come home from work one generation around ago,

Can you imagine that?

He was one of the most successful businessmen I've ever seen.

At his funeral, the vast amount of people in all of the businesses that he built came.

Do you know what else?

I got to tell you the story, which is really interesting.

Every girlfriend he had, one of the children came.
