In your best guess, what is the thing that is so powerful inside of that kind of thinking?

This all does make sense to me.

Like, if Carly was so bummed about turning 40 that she decided not to try anything new, she wouldn't be out there working on her golf swing or weeding or training for a TV show.

She's pushing herself.

And clearly, Don Burrell is too.

And so am I. If I'm being honest, this show is a little bit of that for me.

I've never really written or spoken about myself in my work before.

I'm trying to open up, trying something new.

Thanks for coming along for the ride.

And I am changing.

I see that.

For a while, I was so worried that I'd be stuck in time, my personality and worldview trapped in the amber of the last day I played sports at the highest level.

But of course, I'm different now than I was a month ago, a year ago, a decade ago.

Since we talked, I've been thinking a lot about what Dr. Gendron told me, about how we become more and more ourselves as we get older.

Actually, I'd been thinking about it so much that I brought it up with Carly Lloyd.

And then she was like, listen, every day of your life, you become more unique from everyone else.

I was like, what?

She's like, yeah, you are accumulating every single day.

The older you are, the more unique you are from every other person.

That's amazing.
