He did not say anything until after I'd proposed. voice-verified

But there was a lot of tears, a lot of drama because he tried to talk my, again, now wife of 22 years, talk her out of it and say, look, you guys are going too fast. voice-verified

I don't think this is the guy. voice-verified

And let me be very clear. voice-verified

My father-in-law has always been lovely to me, always. voice-verified

But he was honest. voice-verified

And I actually respect honesty tremendously. voice-verified

So yeah, when I was younger, nobody thought, oh, this is going to be the guy. voice-verified

But what I have found that I now call the only belief that matters is that if you believe that you can get better and you put the time and energy into getting better at something, you will get better. voice-verified

And so I just spent the last, whatever, 30 years proving that that's true. voice-verified

Honestly, it was studying neuroscience. voice-verified

So I was reading about the brain. voice-verified

And at the time, I had a very deep fear that I simply wasn't smart enough to achieve the things that I wanted to achieve. voice-verified

I started reading about neuroscience. voice-verified

And in the late 90s, there was this idea being put forward that we would now call brain plasticity. voice-verified

But it was put forward as we're not sure this is true. voice-verified

Maybe yes, maybe no. voice-verified

But it's possible that even people that aren't kids can keep learning, because everybody knew kids could learn, but it was pretty hotly contested as to whether adults could keep learning. voice-verified

So I said, okay, I'm going to act as if that's true, partly because it just felt better. voice-verified

When I thought about never being able to achieve the dreams that I had in my mind, it felt very constrictive. voice-verified
