| 0:00.0 | I get asked the question all the time. How do you create balance? Well, what if I told you I have |
| 0:04.8 | zero balance? I am super obsessed with my life work, with my mission, but what I have been able to |
| 0:12.1 | figure out is how to just pause myself, how to, as my buddy Tim Grover says all the time, |
| 0:18.1 | just dim the flame of my intensity and passion just a tad because |
| 0:22.9 | my wife doesn't always want that. My 90-year-old mother-law certainly doesn't want that. My puppy |
| 0:28.0 | doesn't want it and my kids don't want it either. And you know what? I don't need it on the |
| 0:31.5 | golf course or I'm playing pickleball with my buddies, but I can't turn it off. And I think that's |

| 1:13.3 | didn't help? |
| 1:14.5 | Or is it really more about maybe turning the heat up, recognizing that life is short and we |
| 1:20.0 | have a small amount of time on this planet to do something really special. |
| 1:24.7 | And if you can do that thing that makes your heart saying at a high level, |
| 1:28.9 | I promise you on your deathbed, you will look back with no regrets. But I've had friends die |
| 1:35.3 | in the last decade and sitting with them before they pass from cancer or something else that's |
| 1:40.0 | just tragic. All they talk about is what they regretted. All they talk about is what they regretted. |
| 1:45.5 | And by the way, it wasn't just their personal life. They regretted leaving it on the field, |
