You talk about what sports they're playing, how they're doing in school, what grades they're making.

All that's the normal conversation amongst dads.

There was no normal conversation when I would go out with friends in the community about, hey, my son's really struggling and we can't figure it out and I want to help him and I don't know how to help him.

And so that began to reframe things for me.

And then there was another seminal moment during COVID where I found myself, as many of us did, home, couldn't go to the office, wasn't allowed to go to the office.

I'm a people person, so that wasn't healthy for me.

And I got home and I've got three great kids.

I've got a beautiful bride.

We've had a great marriage.

We've got a beautiful home.

My job was going really well at the time.

I was with Marsh.

Things were great.

And so I'm at home and I'm miserable.

And you look around and I'm like, I'm doing great in my career.

I've got a great family, got neighbor across the street I'm hanging out with during COVID.

It's kind of like you got it licked and yet I was not happy.

And I began to look at it and say, you know what?

I'm not in control of my situation.

I'm letting the world dictate to me what is going on.
