There's this beautiful butterfly effect to everything that we do.

And I always say to my kids, especially my oldest son, because he, and I'll say it a lot to my younger son too as he develops, is that who you are is defined by the choices you make that nobody ever knows about.

It's defined by who you are when nobody's looking.

It's very easy to do the right thing when everybody's watching you.

It's very easy to pretend you're a holy person when everybody's watching.

It's much harder when nobody's looking and the only person who knows is you and God.

And that's what I try to always remind my son of.

And so I think that...

That's something that if we all live out and we try in those moments nobody's looking to make the world a better place, to make the right choice, even when it's, and I'd say especially when it's hard, then we will begin to see a truly better world all around us for our kids and our grandkids.

Because, you know...

I think we need to leave this world a better place for them than we found it.

And unfortunately, this is the first generation where, you know, because of AI and a lot of other things, it's not a sure thing that we will leave our kids a better world than the one we came into.

As of right now, I can say this.

When I was born in the 80s, the culture around America was a much better place than the one we have today.

And so I hope we can get to a place where that's no longer the case.

But right now I'm pining for the 90s.

You know, like the 90s rocked.

I would say, like, every day I'm like, I wish I was waking up in the 90s.

But thank you for having me.

I really appreciate it.
