So that's a picture of me and my wife. And I don't know if you've seen this before, it's probably in the background of some pictures. It's one of my favorites. And it's so funny, I was talking to this friend of mine, he's like, dude, you gotta be more serious. Business is serious. Everything's serious. He's a good person, but he's a sad person. He's always living so intensely. He's like, you make light of life and you play around and you're goofy. And, uh, yeah, that's exactly who I am. I think life is too short to be so harsh on ourselves. And that's how my wife is too. And there we are horsing around. So my thought for you is this: as you navigate life, why not have some fun? The true expression of who you are. Because when people see it, they'll get it.
