So I got an annual Ezra scan and it came back with like, hey, plaque in arteries, you know, because I'm 40 now. And so I went to the doctor and they came back and there was like the calcium score was 53 of 400. So on the low side, but not zero. So then I go to a cardiologist and they're like, yeah, you're fine. It's fine. You're fine. I'm like, do I need an ultrasound?

Do you have to open my chest? I have a lot of responsibilities right now. My heart's gotta be okay. And they're like, you're gonna be okay. Wow. How do you feel emotionally? Emotionally, I think I don't take nearly enough time to do self checks.

I spend all of my time thinking about everybody else between our clients, our customers, our producers, our agents, our employees, that like by the end of the day, I'm so mentally exhausted worrying about everybody else who I feel responsible for. that I'm like, as long as I'm eating, breathing, and I can scroll on TikTok before bed, like I'm good, man. Yeah, I hear you. I'm good.

I do, although I will tell you, man, I think something did happen to me this summer. Like every age I've ever turned, nothing changes. But then when I turned 40- It's a different unlock. Yeah, it's not that I felt old. It's that I thought, okay, the next time I do this, I'm 80. So remind me again, Ryan, why I wake up every day. Like, what am I doing all this for?

Why am I flying to this place and that place? And why am I so anxious about answering emails and cleaning things out? Why am I like, what should... what is wrong with me? And I realized in that moment in July that I'd spent the last 20 years waking up every day to feel important instead of waking up every day to feel happy. And I attached importance to happiness.

The more important I am, whether I'm being, we were nominated for two Emmys for a reality TV show. I was able to build a billion dollar business just by selling real estate, a career that used to be a third career for most people, right? I'd expanded, I'd built from the ground up and the importance of it all, I thought made me happy.

And then I was sitting there and saying to myself, but wait, what really, makes me happy? Is it my daughter? Is it my wife? Is it family time? Is it like, is it the work? What is it? Is it the work? I mean, all of them make me happy, right? Various ways. My superpower is my capacity. You know, you say consistency, I really think about capacity.

And I do get very, very excited about the building and about the work. Like I do like work. I wouldn't be at the office all the time. I wouldn't be working all the time if I didn't really like it. Like I wouldn't have to, like I'm fine. I do get passionate about the work and about building and about creating more tomorrow than I did today. I don't know why it's totally a disease.

Like I have friends who like check out at five o'clock They drink beer. They go to baseball games. They have like- They coach their kids.

I'm like, I want that. I don't hate it at all. I literally stare at people who do that and who have those lives and I'm like, I want, how do I have that? I don't have that. It's not in my DNA. I wish it was. On a scale. Like you see a dog.
