That's probably the thing that has been most helpful to me in terms of performance and success because you have a choice only in how you respond.

Not really, no.

I actually don't know.

I think I get sort of really locked in and heads down on what I'm working on that I

I tend to kind of put on blinders and just go but I like to have conversations in longer form with people that I admire.

You know, it's interesting.

I grew up the child of wealthy and accomplished parents.

And so I do think there's like a natural barrier that goes up.

You're worried about people, especially when you're a kid, liking you for the wrong reasons.

I see this now with my son.

He wants to be loved by his friends, and I appreciate that.

That's good for who he is, not for who we are and certainly not for what we have.

So I do think being the child of famous parents and living such a privileged life, I had this guard, and that guard served me really well for a long time.

I didn't have any friends despite the—

really tumultuous life that I've had, ups and downs, who really disappointed me, meaning close, close friends who didn't show up for me or who changed because of my circumstances or what was happening around me.

And I've learned for me, I mean, you were saying the purpose of life.

For me, it's the expansion and not contraction of the heart.

And that's hard as you get older.

How do you live a life of...

service and rooted in love and connection.
