I didn't have kids yet, but I was sort of thinking about it, that, you know, you could be a sort of a trendy, cool sort of person about town and maybe get good work done, but that would come at the expense of your family.

Maybe you could party and have family and your work would suffer.

His point was you got to pick what your priorities are.

And that stayed with me.

It's been life changing advice.

I do try to mostly choose work and family.

And sometimes I combine the two.

I'm hitting the road here.

Actually, tomorrow we're flying out to do a little road trip down the West Coast because I have two speaking dates.

I'm going to be in Portland on June 8th giving a talk.

And then I'm going to be in San Francisco, I believe, on the 11th.

You can grab tickets to come see me if you want, dailystoiclive.com.

But it's funny, Austin was just here.

We have a fuller episode of the podcast, but as we were sort of settling down, he was asking me about the tour and how it's going, if it's having fun, you know, how I think about it.

And we kind of riffed on it a little bit.

I don't know.

I just thought it would be interesting.

Austin is a great dude.

He has a new book out called Don't Call It Art.

which is lovely.
