Oof, powerful. And the way I like to say it, and I think that was so beautiful, is you all have a brand and the brand is what people think about you when you're not in the room. I don't know who I stole it from. I know I stole it from someone, but I can't justify it. And I think the other thing that you talked about, legacy, we had an episode with Howard Behar, the ex-president of Starbucks.

And one of the beautiful sentences that he had, that he said is, There's no amount of success that you can live on forever. And one of the hardest moments in his life was when he retired. So it's exactly what you're saying. I needed to find a purpose again. So it's beautiful to see where he is now. But I think you're spot on just in terms of finding that purpose.

And for those, by the way, not on YouTube, take a look at him. Like he is kind of looking 50s. But then you also have the time to build a business, author many books. How do you fit it all in?

Wow. So I wonder what it is for you. So I personally need to go on walks. I might run or whatever, but I have to hike many times a week. And that's where all my ideas come from. This is where my sanity comes from. This is where suddenly I don't see the noise of the constant emails, but I can actually think about the big picture and scaling the business and big ideas.

And all my best ideas came from these walks. What is it for you, Michael?

Talk to me just for a second about your why. What is the legacy that you hope to leave behind for future leaders, for entrepreneurs?

Do you think there's something that you went through in life beyond the stories that you shared that built you to who you are today, Michael?

Thank you for sharing. That explains that massive drive that I see. That's incredible. So what would you advise your younger self based on everything that you've seen and the things that you overcame? And I'm sure balance is part of it, but how would you talk to younger Michael?

Wow. First of all, I think every time you asked the question, I was like, yeah, check. Not sleeping at night, check. I'm like, darn it, Michael.
