That's a really good question. So it kind of depends on what aspect of health we're talking about. For physical activity, that's something very important to me. I'm also very motivated to cook my own meals every night with my fiance. We spend every night cooking a meal together. It's really good quality time.

But then we're also ensuring that all of the ingredients that we use are fresh and healthy. We know exactly what we're eating every day. One big reason that I'm really motivated for both physical activity and this healthy eating lifestyle is I had a grandma who was not motivated to do these things.

And I just saw the way that her lifespan, the way that her life turned out in the end, I was highly motivated to make sure that I wasn't stuck in a chair, only watching TV. I know that maybe me having healthier habits now might not make me necessarily live longer, but I'll have more time. help in my later years, I will be able to fully enjoy those later years.

It might not save me time, but it might make that time more enjoyable. So I'm just motivated to be able to live my life to the fullest extent. If I want to go hiking up a mountain, I want to know that my body can take me there. If I want to go walk in Italy for six hours, I want to know that I am in a physical place to be able to do that. So I'm more motivated by life experiences.

I don't know if I can speak for every young person, but I think that there was a shift for a lot of us from that motivated by work to work and make money and then reinvest in your family and all of that. I think that me, I am less motivated to work. I do not have a dream job. I do not dream of work. I dream of life. I am motivated by life experiences.
