I love my mother.

She's a great woman.

But both of us were very determined that our kids were going to grow up with a mother and a father in the house.

And so a lot of it was just striving to do that.

And, again, screwing up along the way, man.

I can write books on my mistakes, but I think it's a testament to God's mercy that –

Flawed attempts, faithfully executed, are blessed exponentially.

I love that.

Yeah, yeah.

It ends up affecting the way you view the world in ways you don't even recognize because it just seems so natural.

Right.

And it's only when you become into contact with something else that you're like, oh, this is how it was supposed to be.

Yeah.

But I think the wonderful thing is, because I've talked to young men before that I'll talk about legacy and they'll say something like, dude, I don't have a legacy.

I'm like, no, no, you do.

It just starts with you.

Right.

And there's something truly powerful about being the first man in your family to change the entire direction of your family going forward.

And I'm always excited for guys that embrace that.

Like, yeah, I'm going to be the one.
