Well, I'll break it down. The message from my 91-year-old father who retired. My dad worked until age 85, Ryan, so he's been retired for five years, almost six years. He said to me the other day when we were out on the boat, he said, you know, son, he says, I don't have many regrets in my life.

He said to me the other day when we were out on the boat, he said, you know, son, he says, I don't have many regrets in my life. If you met my dad, Ryan, you would think he's 70, not 91. Same with my mom. My mom's 91.

Same with my mom. My mom's 91.

She doesn't have any gray hair. He says to me, he goes, I have one regret. He says, I should have worked to 90. And then my dad and I were talking about how this is clearly the greatest time in history to be alive, especially if you're a husband, a father, an entrepreneur, a founder, any of that stuff. my dad started his businesses. He was an entrepreneur for 71 years.

He was an entrepreneur for 71 years.

He said, he goes, I started my business with the yellow pages. He said, you have the worldwide web, you have AI, you have the greatest time in history to be alive. And this is the message that I'm telling my 12 year old daughter all the time. You know, she has her own podcast. She makes her own money, that kind of stuff. But,

And this is the message that I'm telling my 12 year old daughter all the time. You know, she has her own podcast. She makes her own money, that kind of stuff. But,

The men and women that I work with, they spend way, way, way too much time on rat poison platforms like the news, like politics is rat poison, and anti-social media. I mean, it's okay to be on there for a little bit, but... If you think that times are tough in 2025, you're in the wrong echo chamber. You need to get around better people. You need to get around people who have actually won.

You need to get around people who have actually won.

People ask me what my business is now that I'm semi-retired. I said my business is the same as when I was in the hockey business, the insurance business, being a husband, being a father. I'm in the winning business. That doesn't mean I win all the time. It means I lose a lot. But, I mean, there has never, ever been a better time. And my dad's only regret is he said I should have worked to 90.

He said I would give one of my arms to be in the environment that you're in now. So that's my mindset every day that I get up. I'm like – and my dad mentioned on the boat the other day, he said, Michael, he says – If you can't make it in 2025, you can't make it. And, you know, that's the message that we need to be sending to leaders. That's what you do.

You work with some of the top leaders, unreasonable outcomes. But man, oh man, talk about the greatest environment in history to be in. And when I say greatest environment, there's three things that really stick out. Number one, we are awash in wealth, trillions of dollars every single day. Go stand in the river. Go stand in the river. Secondly, abundance like never before.

I mean, I pack up my family for half the year and I get to live in the greatest country in the world, America, in the greatest city in the world, Naples, Florida. And then for the other six months, I get to return and live on the lake in the second greatest country in the world, which is Canada. Like the abundance is unbelievable.

And then, of course, what I mentioned, the opportunity, like literally the World Wide Web, artificial intelligence, whatever you want to talk about it. But man, oh, man, my dad said it the other day, best Ryan. He says the good old days are now.
