So you had another major life moment and that you wrote about in this JAMA article, Time is Finite.

So can you share a little bit about the backstory and then we'll get into some of the learnings and the sharing.

Yeah.

And where are you today in that journey?

Yeah.

And I don't know what your faith orientation is, but I just want to call out to my audience that everyone prays for you.

For complete healing.

So that's cool.

So you got this moment of clarity going through this process, and that's really what you wrote about.

So tell us about that process of getting to that clarity and sharing sort of the thesis, you know, of time is infinite.

Yeah, it's like the meaning of my work, to quote you, the meaning of my work is profound, but meaning of presence at home is irreplaceable.

Because a lot of times we get it backwards.

We think we're irreplaceable at work, and we really aren't, especially if we're a good leader like yourself.

But we definitely are irreplaceable at home.

So that was a great quote and something that I really took from your writing, because everyone...

is afflicted with what you just described in some way, shape or form, where we try to separate work and life and oftentimes work wins.

And so you had this moment of clarity, but it came with a diagnosis.

How might someone who's listening

who doesn't have a diagnosis, like a big wake-up call like you've had, kind of achieve that same clarity.

Obviously, we hope that they listen and they take to heart what you're sharing and what you've written.
