I'm giving you feedback because I respect you.

If I don't give you continual feedback, then I don't care.

Wanted to see you grow.

Wanted to see you improve.

So I'd have been in your office constantly.

Well, first off, I would have never even gotten into Harvard, but if I'd been there, I would have been in your office constantly.

So interesting because I essentially have one... I don't know if it's a rule, but before me and my wife got in a committed relationship as we were dating, not marriage, but when we were kind of dating, I said, listen, I'm willing to, you know...

I'm willing to commit and go all in.

It was like a big decision to like get in another relationship after I'd had many relationships that were challenging.

I'd done a lot of healing work.

And I was like, listen, I'm willing to commit and go all in with the intention of getting married in the future, with the intention of having kids in the future, creating a family, not just date to date.

But I was like, okay, we're starting to learn each other's values.

I'm understanding your values.

These are my values.

This is what I want for my future.

So it was with that context in mind.

Okay, let's do this.

Knowing that that is our intention.

Not just we like each other.

Let's date to date.
