And I don't know why I have a God-given talent at this.

Like I'm good at it.

I'm really good in the courtroom.

I'm good at this very strange amalgam of skills you have to have to extemporaneously speak in this very specific kind of way.

Plus I'm really good, I've memorized the rules of evidence.

Like I'm, you know, I have a very weird specific skillset.

That, to me, I feel like I want to be of service while I'm here.

I don't know.

I feel the most fulfilled when I'm of service.

Whether it was as a hospice volunteer.

How old were you when you were doing that?

18.

Interesting.

I had just gotten out of... So there's a little context there.

When I was about...

six years old, maybe five years old, my mom was first diagnosed with leomyosarcoma, which is a soft tissue sarcoma.

It's very rare.

It's a cancer that does not typically become metastatic in any way, but it grows very rapidly.

So the first time that she was diagnosed with it, when they found it, it was the size of a dime.

And when they took it out three weeks later, it was the size of a grapefruit.
