It definitely does.

And I know you have a podcast as well.

And I think that is one of the biggest blessings of doing this podcasting is interacting with people in that way and developing new business relationships and friendships.

So I couldn't agree with you more.

I love to start out my interviews with this question.

We all have moments that define us.

I know I've had so many in my life.

What's a defining moment for you that shaped who you are today?

I have a few comments I wanted to make about that.

Well, first for sharing that and being vulnerable with your story, I do always think that we are best positioned to serve the person we once were.

I love how you brought that up.

It's how I got to do what I'm doing now.

As well today, but when I was given the people I was supposed to help, I certainly didn't see myself in them at first because it's really painful.

But over time realized exactly who I was supposed to help.

Second thing is one of my best friends is a former astronaut.

He was the chief astronaut and.

Chris Cassidy and I remember him telling me this story where he was in the ISS looking down and he was sitting there looking at traffic or looking at New York City, imagining people in traffic and how upset they would be.

And realizing in that moment that what we think of in the micro environments that we're in is so meaningless when you're looking at the vast universe around you.

And it changed his whole perspective that he is a citizen of earth and he needs to do things to make earth a better place, which has informed the rest of his life.

And then lastly, I just have to say, we took my son to look at the University of Colorado.
