tends to be the case.

So I didn't, if I look back at my decision to become a writer, my decision to move to DC, from DC, to have kids, I mean, we were talking about this the other day.

We have two kids.

My wife and I didn't sit down and have a deep discussion about, do we want kids?

How many do we want?

What are our parenting philosophies?

After we got married, we were like, I don't know, I guess we should do it.

That was just it.

But the truth is there was a gut feeling there and the gut feeling was actually pretty accurate.

So I think people trusting their gut more often than seems right.

Like you don't need to have an analytical conversation on a spreadsheet to figure something out.

They're going to have lasting consequences and be much less choosy and picky and analytical about decisions that are reversible and whatnot.

Jeff Bezos talks about that a lot.

There's some times where you make a decision in a business and you're like, look, if this doesn't work, we can just go back to what we were doing before.

It's not that big.

It might cost a little bit of money, but we can go back.

And there's some decisions about like this is a roach motel.

Like we walk in, we ain't walking out of this.

We got to make sure it's the right place to go in.

I think there's a lot of decisions like that in life.
