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.
