Well, that goes back to Ryan afraid of winning. Sedating and medicating, now it's in your phone. But here's a big point that I make with my athletes and my students and my daughter. Being passionate about something or curious about something isn't enough. So a guy like you... People would look at you and say, you know, Ryan's really passionate about coaching. And to that, I say, yes, he is.

But what separates you from everybody else is you found a mission that you're obsessed with. I don't want anything to do with anybody else. that's not obsessed about their mission. So I don't go to lunch. I don't go to dinner. I don't go visit my sister. I don't do anything with people that aren't on a mission.

And I'm way, way too far gone to spend time with beta males and gamma males who talk about the weather or talk about Elon Musk or talk about, I'm like, tell me about your mission. So obsession, my dad said to me, so I walk into my dad, my dad says, you know, you're interested in taking over the family insurance business. And this is way back in the day, 20 years ago.

He said, don't you even think of buying this business unless you're gonna take this to the next level 10X and this becomes your obsession. Don't buy it if you're passionate about it. Don't buy it if you're curious about it and don't buy this agency If you want to drive a nice car, you better be obsessed or before you start, do something else. So number one in the nation.

Didn't take long because I was a man on a mission. Then I walk into my dad's office five years later. I said, Dad, I'm going to take over this bankrupt junior hockey team. Nobody can win in a small community. He says, the only question you have to answer is, are you on a mission? Will this be your next mission? I said, absolutely. He goes by it.

So this is the same thing is we just have to keep asking our creator, what's the next calling? What's the next purpose? And I'm sorry, but passion doesn't work. Passion isn't enough. When I won a Berkeley Cup with my hockey team in 2019, you want to talk about a force, a powerhouse, but we couldn't win for six straight years. We always lost in the finals, in game six and game seven.

I walk into my dad's office. I said, Dad, I don't know what it is, but we just can't win that championship. And he said, you need to fill that locker room with 23 young men that are on a mission. He said, you got a few guys in there that are, you know, they're curious about winning. They're, you know, they've got some passion.

But he said, you need to fill that locker room with trainers, with coaches, and with athletes that are sick to their stomach when they come up short. And he said, when you lost last night, you know, he said, how many people in there were beyond, how many people in there were suffering physically, suffering mentally?

He says, anybody that wasn't sick to their stomach when they lost, you need to upgrade and replace. And that goes back to obsession. So you're a man on a mission. I can tell it in your voice. I can tell when I talk to you. I can tell when I watch a video, but you're not passionate about it. You are passionate, but you're obsessed. And you're talking about going to speak. Nobody wants to fly.

Nobody wants to go to the airport. Nobody wants to live in a hotel. Giving the speech is the 90 minutes of fun. But what gets you through all that other horseshit is the fact that you're obsessed with what you're doing and you're a man on a mission. And this stuff is so contagious in your home. Nothing drives me crazier than life balance talk. Are you kidding me?
