Yeah. I told you she was getting a little lazy and a little complacent. So I was about to throw water in her face yesterday morning.

Look, I think you have to lead by example. And I think there are like, I don't try to act like I'm the perfect parent because I'm not. Like people ask me about work-life balance. I'm not an expert on work-life balance. Like I work 17 hours a day, just probably 350 days a year. And I love it. I'm honored to do it. It's like, it's so fun for me. I think I have the greatest job in the world.

So what I try to teach to my three daughters is like, They see me pushing unrelentlessly every day. And I think that's something that it's contagious. Like I do that for everybody around me. You know, I mess with people like some of my most important people. I'll FaceTime them at 5 a.m. I'll FaceTime them at 12 o'clock. I'll get someone to go wake her up. Like, you know, like that's my mentality.

You know, sometimes I'm doing it to be funny. Sometimes I'm doing it for like, you know, purpose. But I think it's, you know, I really want them to learn work ethic. I want them to learn about relationships. Relationships are everything. Like. If you think about how I built my business, in good times, you don't need relationships. In bad times, relationships are the most important things you have.

So we've built so many authentic relationships that I think have helped us. It's why people are behind us building Fanatics. I look at the opportunity to connect with all of you here live and say, I want to have a relationship with you guys because you're going to help me build my business.

And so that mentality, I think if my kids learn, we'll let them not be a cocky, arrogant, little rich kid, but let them be a humble and appreciative kid. So look, it is like, you know, they grow up, they see a lot of things, they grow up around like, you know. I do this little party. People probably heard I'm called the white party. Okay. My daughter, you know, my daughter's always wanted to go.

My daughter's 19. We got, you know, she started coming when she was 15. I said to her and she's like, look, it's a, it's a, it's a 13 hour party. And she sees, you know, 350 people having the time of their lives. And the next morning I go, I went to bed at five. And like 7 o'clock in my room, okay, let's get up. Let's go work. She's like, Dad, are you fucking serious?

But like work hard, play hard. Like I always want to push that on her.
