Probably not. How often do we randomly go and write on our kids' mirrors or send them a little note? Not very often, right? I mean, there was an intentionality behind that. And so I'm no different than anybody else. It just simply wouldn't have happened, as simple as that is, had I not thought about that role as father in pre-replanning.

And what can I do for my son, who's in San Diego right now working? How about my other daughter, Bella? And just one more example to illustrate this point. The executive team of Pepsi went through Do What Matters Most, and we certified other trainers, and it was another trainer doing the training. It wasn't me. Under the role of father, this executive wrote, call my son. Now, seasoned guy, right?

By all accounts, you would look at him and say, he's totally successful. And that's one thing I've learned is that pretty much all of us are navigating challenges that the people around us know nothing about, especially as entrepreneurs and owners. And this guy was no exception to that. And so the trainer, just out of curiosity, asked him, why call your son?

And this guy was no exception to that. And so the trainer, just out of curiosity, asked him, why call your son?

And his response was kind of a humble statement when he said, because I haven't talked with my son in seven years. What? And the trainer is like, whoa, OK, so when are you going to do it? Step four. OK, Thursday, seven o'clock. Great. Six months later, there was a follow on training with the same team. And he said there was just a palpable difference about this individual.

And so he asked him, hey, did you make that call? And his response was this. He said, you know, I saw it there in my planner. And for the first time, I knew I needed to make the call. So he did. And he went on to share that him and his son talked and they haven't, excuse me, him and his son talked. And they couldn't even remember what they'd argued about seven years prior.

And now they've started talking every week and they become best friends. And even more so, on that initial call that he had with his son, he found out he had two grandchildren who he didn't even know existed. So what if he wouldn't have made that call? And he's probably not that different than many of us, right? Every morning, he woke up knowing he needed to make that call.

But what was the next thought? I'll just do it. later, next week, whenever, and suddenly seven years have passed. So as he thinks about his dash, leading a life by design rather than by default, what was the impact of pre-replanning in his life? That simple statement, call my son, had a generational impact for him. And this is this.

Let's keep in mind, this is a seasoned, successful guy if you're looking at him from the outside in. And so what's the impact in every one of our lives if we can develop a vision for each of our key roles, what only 2% of people have done, Identify one to four specific targets or goals this year in each role.

And then every week or most weeks, giving ourselves some grace, doing pre-replanning and saying, what matters most in each role this week and when will we do it? And what's the cumulative impact of that approach to life?

Absolutely. And by the way, Ryan, if you have children, teach them how to develop a vision for their roles. Teach them how to do pre-week planning. It's a total game changer. My college student son does it and all of his roommates are like, what are you doing? And he taught him and all of them are doing pre-week planning now.
