I'm reading a book right now called Transversal by Maria Popova.

Who I'm interviewing next week.

It's a book about love.

Love was something growing up in, I'll just call it a toxic male household.

All boys.

It was all boys.

We were a tough love household.

Toxic male households, maybe not quite right, but tough love.

And it's a lot of male energy.

My dad definitely tried to instill in us that love was this important thing.

And yet we had all suffered so much.

And I think we had a very hard time with saying, I love you.

Just wasn't something we did naturally.

Now, every time I talk to my dad or my brothers on the phone, I say, I love you.

And I feel like it's very easy through a series of life circumstances to

to feel that love beaten out of you.

This might be a very cheesy way of answering your question, but I feel like it's an honest one, which is that I have followed a course of things that I love, that I feel extremely passionate about, excited about, where I wake up in the morning and sense that

If I feel this way, there's probably many others who will too.

And maybe I can be a translator of sorts to express that across the transom, whether it's a podcast or a book.

I think the things that I create, you feel love embedded in them.
