Summary
#QOTD: What is your favorite restaurant right this second?
If you were to go back to a caveman and ask him what he thinks of our media consumption today, he would reject it. it would be weird and unnatural. But the fact of the matter is that it's where we are today, and technology is just a part of our world. I'm not the dad who is going to tell my kids to "get off the computer and go play!" Frankly our kids are already eating a hell of a lot better than we ever did at that age.
Kids are just growing up to be different characters than we are. Information is a commodity, so they're not going to be as "fact-smart" as we were, but they're going to be much more intuitive about learning how to use new systems.
Sure I'm worried about them being active enough, but if you're a good parent you can make your kids do literally whatever you want. What I'm *not* going to do, though, is restrict Xander's time on the iPad.

| 1:09.0 | We don't care about the adultery. We don't care about the faking it. We care about when you're exposed, you lying about it. It's nuts. It's an interesting psychology, especially here in the States, more so than maybe other parts of the world. |

| 2:00.0 | I love the idea of getting to buying the jets more so than buying the jets. It's the process to delegate out what I love, would defeat the purpose. Of course I want to spend as much time with my family as possible. |
| 2:10.0 | But that would be lying to my soul if I didn't do what I want to do and what I want to do for a living is build organizations, build companies, create commerce, be a salesman, be a guidance counselor, HR character, social commentator, and put out content. |

| 2:34.0 | The problem young entrepreneur, especially when you're young entrepreneurs, people want stuff. They want the bling bling here, they want the cool ass kicks, they want the car, they want the jet, they want stuff. I don't want stuff. I want the sweat and the pain and the gratitude and the happiness that comes along with the work. I want the work. I don't want the stuff. |

| 3:25.0 | This piggyback is well off of the last question. My motivation comes from a couple of places. One, I love what I do. You may not love, again, back to what you want, especially seeing a lot of the youngsters jumping in today's show. |
| 3:40.0 | You may think that doing things is the process needed to what you want, which is you want to be in Las Vegas with 30 beautiful women around you and like drinking champagne and going crazy. I don't like that stuff. |
| 3:53.0 | No, I don't. I don't like that stuff. I like the process. To me, there's two things to drive me. One, I love what I do. For the billion time, my separating aspect from a lot of you. I'm keeping it real. |
