I really could care less because his health and his happiness was the primary focus.

And a middle school science assignment, a middle school calculus test, was pretty small in the grand scheme of things.

And so I wanted to make sure that he knew that as a leader, as his dad, as his leader, I wanted you to focus on what mattered.

And that was you being happy and healthy.

And we'll worry about that other stuff later.

Tests come and go.

We'll figure that out.

That was probably the beginning of the reframe of how I began to look at the world, which changed the way that I operated on a daily basis.

I'll tell you how I did it.

The way it worked for me, and I would recommend it, but for everybody they'll have their own way, but I began to read and chase after people who had a philosophy like mine.

And so I would look at different authors and different books and I would read.

I've always been a reader and I began to reshape what I was reading, because guess what I was reading?

Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.

I was reading the books that the world said you should read if you're a good leader.

But that wasn't feeding what I needed, right?

And so I went back and started looking at things like, well, I need to get myself in order.

Who are some people writing about that?

Who are speakers that I've heard at different conferences who I feel like that spoke to me?

I need to go back to that.

And so the beginning step for me was I literally sat down with a book.
