| 0:00.0 | mentor coach of mine and said, Josh, the days are long, but the years are short. And it is so true. |
| 0:05.0 | Like for all of you, like, I have this realization. I have 18 spring breaks with my kids. |
| 0:09.8 | I have 18 Christmases with them under my house. So what is it? 60% of the time that you will spend with your kids is done by the time they're 12 years old. |
| 0:24.3 | And 95% by the time they're 12 years old and 95% by the time they're 18. |
| 0:44.6 | It's a sobering realization to know how precious every day is with your kids. A single theme is too now for great minds and daring hearts. |
| 0:49.4 | Get ready to enter the Lionheart with your host, Lawrence Dunning. |
