How can you balance professional ambition with personal life?
If you can't see something in your mind, you can't create it in your life. And so instead of looking at life through these two extremes, maybe there's a middle path. And the middle path could be that, wait a minute, maybe I don't need to quit my job. Maybe I can stay at my job and then build my passion and build my skills and learn and expand my network.
And maybe this thing that feels like a big risk and feels like a big jump and a big leap, maybe I can make it feel like a series of steps that make it feel seamless and smooth. Maybe it doesn't need to be, if I don't go all in, then I'm not going to make it. And I think sometimes also... Our mindset today is if I don't go all in, then it doesn't matter.

Hi, you.
I miss not recording with you and spending time with you.
Welcome to one of my favorite places to be. I know it is. Martha's Vineyard.
We have to figure out how to get here more often.
You know, I keep telling you all that. This is a great place for the boys at this age. I know you all are busy with basketball and all the things, but... Last time they were here, they had a ball.
