And so for me to be transparent and open was actually a gateway to my freedom, man. And my wife would tell you to this day to have a man who can, she can see that is scared, but can move through that fear.

I'm going to trust the data we have that this is the right decision financially. And we're going to move. For her to see that, whoa, OK, he doesn't know it all, but yet he still walks confidently in that decision. He still has a little fear, but he doesn't succumb to it. Now you can be more authentic.

For me, I was sad when COVID was over because I enjoy being with my wife and my son all day, every day. I didn't have to leave them because by that time I had become a comprehensive man. You wanted to express it all. Yeah, yeah. It was nothing to hide. But if you're with the suits, the bra, you know, the bravado, all this other stuff, that's your aura all day.
