And I think AI, I'm very optimistic about it. Obviously it could go wrong. We've all seen the Terminator, right? But I think that it could go wrong, but I think there's more ways that it could go right.

And I think it can enable us, and this is what I've been playing with this last year, to get that double win and to see the realization of human flourishing, not only in our lives, but in the lives of our customers and clients. So I had a friend tell me that one point, this was probably four years ago, he said, at this season in your life, your job is to grow fruit on other people's trees.

That's what I think a true legacy is. Because the truth is, unless you're some international pop star or somebody who does something enormously heroic, all of us are going to be forgotten within a generation. You know, I can't even tell you my great grandparents' names without really thinking about it. You know, they're just forgotten in my own lineage.

And so the idea that you're going to be remembered for time and eternity is mostly vanity. But that doesn't mean your life doesn't matter. Because what you do in this life, I believe, will ripple through in the lives of other people and into eternity. And so that's what I'm committed to doing is being a good steward of this one life I've been given.

And first of all, having an impact on my children. having an impact on my grandchildren. I've got 11 of those now.

Yeah. If I can just do my part there, you know, really be intent about the few and building quality relationships and they do the same thing, then you start seeing the exponential growth and the exponential change.

It won't be credited back to me and that's well and good because I stand on the shoulders of other people and people stand on my shoulders, but we can make a meaningful difference in the world for sure.

No doubt. I grew up in a family where my father was an alcoholic. He started drinking at probably the worst possible time for me as a kid when I was in middle school. And he just wasn't there. He was pretty much checked out. He wasn't a violent drunk. But I would frequently come home from school in the afternoon, and my dad would be passed out with six crumpled up beer cans on the floor.

And I can remember one time in high school coming home with my sister late at night. Some friends dropped us off, and there was my dad, to our great embarrassment, passed out on the sidewalk.

And I remember looking at him with such disgust and really fury. And I said, I will never be like that. Well, so what happened was then I became driven to a fault. I overcorrected and I became a workaholic. And it took me years of therapy and just trying to work this out to get some sense of balance.
