I still, I hear myself, I'm like, does my voice really sound like that? You know, why do I do this thing or that thing? And I find it, some people are super at ease. And who knows, maybe they're not either. But some people feel like they're super at ease.
My father was. I think who you saw is who you get. And I think that made him so effective in that medium because he was just himself and he was totally unselfconscious. I was not. I was totally self-conscious. So it was extraordinary, but also a little challenging for me.
Michael Jackson was like that.
He came once to a performance. I wanted to be, one moment in time, I wanted to be a professional ballerina.
And I was, you know, working really hard. I was going to the School of American Ballet. I was dancing at the Lincoln Center in the Nutcracker. I was super serious, you know, nine, ten-year-old. And my parents came to a Christmas performance of... The Nutcracker. And my father brought Michael Jackson with him. And everyone was so excited that all the dancers, they wore one glove.
But I remember he was so shy. He was so quiet. And when you'd see him in smaller group settings, and then you'd watch him walk onto stage, and it was like a completely different person. like the vitality that came into him. And you say that's like someone who was born to do what he did. And I think there are a lot of performers like that.
You felt that. I mean, I watched the interview you did with him and And he felt that, like his passion and enthusiasm, like it radiated and captured. I mean, I love animals. Like I love all animals. Never loved snakes so much. And he almost made me, now I appreciate the beauty of them much more than I did prior to listening to him speak about them. But it's an infectious thing.
He actually, we were talking about skyscrapers before. I loved, he called trees skyscrapers of life. And I thought that was so great. Yeah.
Yeah. That's an experience I'd love to have. Be that disconnected.
That's really funny because there aren't that many animal species that are monogamous. And you highlighted one example where they literally sound like They're bickering.
I think it's so humbling to feel so small, too. I feel like when we get busy and when we're running around, it's easy to feel small. we're so in our head and we feel sort of so consequential, like in the context of even our own lives. And then you find yourself in a situation like that. And it's, I think you feel so much more connected knowing how minuscule you are in the broader sense.
And I feel that way when I'm on the ocean on a surfboard. You know, you just, it's really humbling to be so small amidst that vast sea. It feels really beautiful with no noise, no chatter, no distractions, just being in the moment. It sounds like you experienced that in a very, very real way in the Amazon.
And you can't fight it, right? Right. You sit there and you read the ocean and you learn to understand it, but you can't control it.
Those are the ones people post. Well, I actually had the unique experience of one of my first times surfing. I only learned a couple of years ago, so I'm not good. I just love it. I love everything about it. I love the physicality. I love being in the ocean. I love everything about it. The hardest thing with surfing is paddling out.
Because when you're committing, you catch a wave, obviously, sometimes. Yeah. you know, you flip over your board and that doesn't feel great. But when you're in sort of the line of impact and you've maybe surfed a good wave in and now you're going out for another set and you get sort of stuck in that impact line, there's like nothing you can do.
You just sort of sit there and you try to dive underneath it and it will pound you and pound you. So I've been stuck there while, you know, four, five, six waves just like crash on top of your head. And the worst thing you can do is get reactive and, you know, and scared and try and fight against it.
You kind of just have to flow with it until inevitably there's a break and then paddle like hell back out to the line or to the beach, whatever, you know, whatever you're feeling. But it's, that's, to me, that's the hardest part, the paddling out.
Wow, everything changed. You know, almost overnight, we learned that he was planning to announce his candidacy two weeks before he actually did. And nothing about our lives had been constructed with politics in mind. Most often when people are exposed to politics at that level, that sort of national level, there's first like, city council run and then maybe a state level run.
And, um, and maybe, maybe, uh, you know, Congress Senator, um, ultimately the presidency. So it was unheard of to, for him never to have run a campaign and then run for president and, and win. So it was, um, It was an extraordinary experience. There was so much intensity and so much scrutiny and so much noise. So that took, for sure, like a moment to acclimate to.
I'm not sure I ever fully acclimated, but it definitely was a super unusual experience. But I think then the process that unfolded over the next couple of years was also the most extraordinary growth experience of my life. Suddenly I was going into communities that I probably never would have been to.
