So either definition of insanity, do the same thing, but somehow expecting a different outcome. I was not going to do the same thing as them and expect a different outcome. I was going to try something different. And what that outcome might be, who knew? But I definitely wanted to give it a go. And so after that, I did have to pause college studies, though, for some time.

So that I could care for the family. And then once they got to a point of self-sufficiency, I was able to resume. And it was really difficult balancing the needs of the family with what at the time was, I was very, I would say, work obsessed. And either because it was just a level of achievement that I was missing.

where there were times I would happily be working until 2 a.m., not because anyone asked me to, just I was consumed and passionate and driven to get things done, to move at pace. But I've since had to learn through a number of changes over life to recalibrate that in a much healthier way and recognizing that's not a luxury, that's a necessity. You have to invest in yourself.

And that concept is really important because if you're not there, if you burn yourself out, if you're not living and acting in a sustainable way, the people who count on you and the people who you care about, they won't be able to be helped by you. You need to put your mask on first. There are times where you do need to be, I'll use the word, selfish.

You need to focus on yourself so that you can be able to support and care for those who depend on you and for those who you love.

The big thing, Vince, with transformation, I would say it's part instinctive and also through learning. It's something I've come to understand as a really powerful instrument, and that's empathy. And empathy comes from a number of ways, but particularly one mechanism that I employ is active listening. Not listening, active listening.

What are their hopes? What are their aspirations? What are their fears? What are their concerns? What are their anxieties? And when you build that empathy,
