They exist in this kind of untouchable ether environment.

You know, that you look at them as having all the answers.

They're the ones who know everything and that you can go to with whatever you got.

And then one day you become an adult.

And at some point along the way, you start you start actually seeing your parents for who they are, the people who they actually are, their their mistakes, their flaws, the decisions that they made in the past, where it's brought them to this time.

And what what you're talking about when it comes to legacy is not necessarily to me like a dollar amount or a lifestyle.

It's more that when that day comes for my kids, I just really want the difference between those two people in their minds to be really, really small.

Meaning like the person that they view me as like the, you know, superhero dad type of a person.

I want that to be as close as possible to what reality is the day they realize who I actually am.

And so that one piece drives me forward in a lot of ways.

And it just flipped a few years ago.

It's like when you're young and hungry and ambitious, you're doing everything almost with like a chip on your shoulder to prove to the world what you can offer.

And you're just going, going, going constantly.

And you have these massive dreams and goals.

And then when I had kids, man, like...

It was almost like, why am I shooting for this thing?

What is the purpose of doing this?

Now I have a decision to make because whatever time I take away from spending time with my kids, it better be used for doing something important.

It better be used for the correct thing, not just...

Not just for the sake of working, you know what I'm saying?
