It's storytelling.

Those are harder things.

very difficult to ping the satellite and get a ping back to know whether or not that's actually happening.

With storytelling, I can get third-party objective feedback.

Being a world-class father and husband, it's more difficult to track that.

But those are things that are very important to me.

It is very important to me that my kids believe that I'm a world-class father and my wife thinks I'm a world-class husband.

And that comes actually less natural to me than storytelling.

Storytelling is sort of my ground state.

It's the thing that I would do if I didn't have anything else to do and I was left to my own devices.

I would tell stories.

I like telling stories.

Being a great husband often means doing things that are unnatural.

A simple example that I think a lot of us fall into the trap of seems to be more of something that men suffer from, at least in my experience, which is that Lindsay comes home with a problem.

And my immediate reaction is to try to help her solve that problem.

I don't know if it's biological.

I'm not sure whether it's my amygdala or my lizard brain, but reflexively, I go into problem-solving mode.

It feels like that's what I'm supposed to do.

And

Eight out of 10 times, it's not what she wants.
