I think of sometimes when I'm driving down the road, you have an 18-year-old kid who's in a Honda Civic and a expanded muffler and going 30 miles per hour over the speed limit racing by you.

And I got my kids in the backseat.

I used to once be that 18 year old driving a Honda Civic like an idiot.

But with perspective and age and wisdom, things shift, you know, and you grow.

And I find myself now two hands on the wheel driving down the highway, yelling at this kid that's driving by me.

Yeah, I got a family with me, man.

But it's so amazing how like these years provide wisdom and characters and

refined and we grow.

And I can only imagine if the 18-year-old yourself could see what you're doing now.

And I've heard you talk about on podcasts before how your demeanor has changed, how your approach to life has changed, how you're calmer and more patient now in this life that you're living.

Compared to where you were when you were 18, going overseas, you know, fighting bad guys.

There's not really a question there, but just this observation of it's pretty beautiful in the way that we grow and develop and mature through all these life experiences to get us out of certain situations, circumstances, and mindsets that we once were captive towards.

You resonate with that?

Yeah, when we found out we were pregnant with our first child,

My wife was hoping for a little boy at first.

I was indifferent.

And our first was a girl.

She'll be four this summer.

Completely softened me.

Completely.
