I wish I was more like... I admire Rick Rubin, right?

He's so zen.

I'm not that level.

And...

Here's what's so weird, Sam.

Maybe you guys can relate to this.

And I guess it is funny to hear that I'm kind of stereotypical Silicon Valley because I spent so much of my career feeling like such an outsider to Silicon Valley culture that I'm like, okay, I don't know what that means now to be in the middle of the whole thing.

I'll have to think about that.

But this whole idea of work-life balance relates to this because I find...

that when people say like, how are you doing?

Are you stressed or relaxed?

I say, I'm not stressed enough.

I miss the level of intensity that I was, the storm I was in the middle of at Zynga.

And because it was such a high to be in this creative loop that I could be working with amazing product teams and making these huge leaps every week and come up with ideas, get them out, see users love it, see metrics move, see our financials move weekly.

That's a high that I miss.

And when I'm in like the abyss, which is what I call any time in between those, I have a different kind of stress and anxiety.

It's not like my aura ring is happy.

And now the most stress it shows is around my family, my five kids.

And I'm like, I want my work stress in some way to trump my family stress.

And it's not.
