I feel like I've realized that our peace is so expensive and life is so short. And I definitely am not anti-hustle culture because I do believe hustle is required to get the dream off the ground, no matter what the dream is.

And whenever I'm with my kids, I'm thinking I should be working. It's like the only way to get past that was to just be in total alignment of like, what do I want for my life? And I think we focus so much on like leaving a legacy, but I think in reality, we have to focus on living a legacy. And I'm like, I want my kids to see the joy. I want them to see the peace.

But if hustle is the only way that you can operate and sustain what you're building, that is not a business. Like you are building a prison for yourself.
