What's your advice to young men, young Christian men coming out like when it comes to fatherhood?
I mean, I guess like an important driver, right? Of motivation to do big, tough things like that's
right. Going after fraud, like preserving an America for our children. It's like actually
a great motivator. That's right. Well, first of all, my advice to young men who are thinking
about becoming fathers who are about to have babies is you're never ready, right? There's
no point at which you can sort of get all your little ducks in a row and get all your financial
situation in a row. Whenever you have a baby, whatever stage of life, it will be shocking.
It will be crazy. It will be the most difficult and the most rewarding thing that you've ever
done. And I think about this all the time when a buddy of mine said that the only thing that
actually prepared him for being a father was when Usha and I showed up with our first kid and he
was like three weeks old and we looked like zombies because we had no idea what the hell
we were doing. We had no idea how to raise this kid. And that said, I would do it all over again.
In fact, if I have one regret, it's a very slight regret. I wish that we had started early and had
more because it's the most rewarding. It's the coolest thing. Now that our kids are, you know,
they're at the age eight, six and four, where they've got their own little personalities and
they're so quirky and fun. They're all into different sports and it's just an amazing thing.
But I think our society tells young men that you only have kids after everything in your
life is perfect. And I think that's a ridiculous attitude. You have kids, you figure it out,
and they're the thing that perfects life. Fatherhood is the absolute best motivator.
Absolutely. Yes, it is. The biggest lie is that kids will take away from your careers.
It actually 10Xs your career and your motivation.
