Have I said, oh, if only I had one more kid, then that would be great.

There's really no arrival fallacy for kids.

You just kind of be like, I just appreciate being around you.

I just appreciate all the, and if anything, it's the opposite.

It's you look back and you're like, oh, I miss when you were younger.

It was like, oh, it's sad how fast you're growing up.

If anything, rather than like looking ahead and being like, oh, it's going to be better then, you're looking back and you're like, oh, I wish I had appreciated that phase a little bit more.

I think there's a difference.

It's a subtle difference, but between pursuing something that you genuinely enjoy doing, which for you is this and your business and whatnot, versus being addicted to something, chasing something that you don't have yet.

And so I imagine, you can correct me if I'm wrong, but I imagine when you're doing this, you don't tell yourself, I need to work harder so that one day the podcast can be up here.

I imagine, tell me if I'm wrong, but I imagine you come to work every day and you're like, I like doing this today.

I like today.

I like yesterday.

I'm going to like tomorrow.

And so you're not chasing a false goal.

You just actually enjoy doing it.

But here's the truth.

The reason that we live in a world with a ton of technology and a ton of great businesses and great medicine and whatnot is because virtually everybody for all of human history has woken up every morning and said, it's not enough.

I need more.

That's the fuel of progress.
