It's a great question. Before my granddaughter was born, Aurora, I didn't fully understand what being a grandparent was. I have to tell you, it's like 10 times more powerful than having a kid. changed my mind now in this sense that I actually think the whole point of life is to become a grandparent. It unlocks a level of love that you've never experienced in your life.

Like I'm totally obsessed with my granddaughter. I see her every day. I moved across the street from her. She's the light of my life and I live for her. She's given me a massive boost in energy and drive to make the world a better place for her and her generation. And so I just didn't realize what being a grandparent was until I became one. And, you know, I became one at 48.
