but he was unequivocally supportive and loving of me.

And even when years later, when he went away and we lost all our money, it was tough for me to hate him because ultimately what I really believed was he was doing it for me, that he was going, he was taking massive risks with his own life and his own freedom in order to give me and my two much younger, one of my sisters is 10 years younger, the other is three years younger,

He was doing it to give me and my siblings a much better life.

And he was willing to risk what ended up being five or six years of federal prison time to provide that for us.

And as I sort of reflect on my upbringing and my childhood, it'd be difficult for me not to credit

his transfer of confidence to me with kind of how I ended up.

So I have anxiety now.

I am constantly trying to do more, feel more, build more, have more.

That feeling of scarcity is in me.

There's a bunch of negative externalities that come with that.

But the other thing that came with it is

what I believe to be an incredible amount of ambition.

And that ambition and that energy, you and I have a lot of mutual friends, and I think most of our mutual friends would describe me as someone that is constantly high energy.

That high energy

mostly comes from a place of joie de vivre and excitement and you know i heard this great quote that part of being happy is being excited by the elements all the elements of your life i'm excited by all the elements of my life and i think that while i probably have a complicated relationship with my dad i am here and i have this life partially because of him thank you for sharing that

I'm not a generalist.

If you were to ask Lindsay, if you'd ask my wife, in fact, if you were to ask my eight-year-old daughter, Bailey, or my six-year-old daughter, Zoe, what our family motto is, they'd all tell you the exact same thing.

It is, how you do anything is how you do everything.

That is our family motto, which, frankly, it means, because they're six and eight, it means it's my family motto, and I've just sort of told them that's our family motto, and they've adopted it wholesale.
