 Next question is from D. Bear 27. What's the biggest lesson you guys learned from your father's? Oh, that's a good one. Another father question. You know, I was with my my dad and my parents actually ate over last night and I I always I'd consciously try to do this in front of my kids, but I asked my father About what it was like when he grew up Because I think context is really important and I've taught I've said I said this to Jessica I said I think the children of immigrants Have an advantage sometimes because they have the advantage of context I you know, which I had I had the advantage of context because my father He was very in in in comparison to me very poor Far less opportunities left school at the age of nine because his family literally needed a nine-year-old to work in order to provide money, you know for the family and so I have him tell these stories to provide that context For my you know for my kids so that they my kids can realize What they have in front of them and what they can do with what they have in front rather than taking things for granted? So my dad taught me a lot of lessons. He was always there for his family So we had dinner together every single night. He he worked his butt off never complained. My dad must have worked seven days a week for Years or decades, you know, seven days a week, but he came home Four or five o'clock and we would all have dinner together. We also planned Trips even when you know, you know, he was supporting a family of six In you know in the Bay Area, he was able to provide us with the middle-class, you know Lifestyle, but it didn't meant we couldn't afford expensive vacations. So so we do Inexpensive things we'd go camping or we'd go, you know, somewhere nearby that we could drive to but I never noticed that it was You know, I was I always saw that it was a good time and he was super involved But the biggest lesson I learned from my dad was that lesson of context that he He under, you know, I understood what I had Because I knew what it was like for him growing up and I saw his attitude about things I saw that he always took personal responsibility. He never You know what complained about working hard. He always did it. He always You know was Family was very important to him. He talked about what it was like growing up when he grew up in Sicily And so that context I think his weight has kept me grounded because it's really easy to take things for granted when you have a Lot of stuff around you. It's really easy for you to start to expect things To happen. So I think that's one of the better lessons that I got. Yeah I think I mean the main thing that I can think of immediately is just the the integrity of my father and how It's just impenetrable. He he strongly has beliefs and moral values that are super consistent and Is is willing to still be friends and have conversations with people that completely don't abide by these standards he has for himself and his family but stays very consistent to his Belief system and I mean that was a big thing for me to just because I tested it all the time as a kid and I was trying to poke holes in it and And he never varied from it. And I mean I I Was that kid that was always trying to push the limits of well, I don't agree with you I can have tattoos, you know, I'm not going to hell or you know, whatever it was at the at the time that I found You know, I had issues with because I was I was that kid that was searching like well Why why do you know, you believe this? Why do you think that way and it was just always very thoughtful in his response and very consistent with his belief system and so to this day like that's I tried my best to be like that and To treat people the way he's treated people to where he stays calm even in the midst of these arguments and You know, a lot of to I was shielded a lot from a lot of really like like we were poor in certain Instances that like I didn't realize we were poor, you know Like we have only stories of like being down and out and like you said like going camping like dude There's always things we were doing but they're on a very low budget, but I didn't know our financial situation I didn't know You know the turmoil Amidst the family that was like really negative at the time Like it was just it wasn't something I needed to Dwell on as a kid and he didn't bring that that wasn't even a discussion. So I find these things out way later as an adult Why like all these things were happening? And so anyway, that's just some things that I reflect on that I was very thankful that You know, he handled it the way he did. But did you have a horse? I Didn't have a horse Yeah, I wish I had a horse Dinners are way cooler Well, I guess I guess what I learned from mine is is to be there, right? So my dad took his life when I was seven years old So it wasn't obviously around and that's also why I waited so long to have Maximus is because I also because of how we grew up I was extremely motivated to to have things to have success financial success and to have security there and Be able to provide for my family and not have to worry about that And I was really nervous in my 20s if I were to ever consider Having a kid that young that I hadn't reached that point And I had already learned at a pretty young age What it was going to take to make really good money like anybody that I had talked to that had mentored me or that was very successful Literally Dedicated a lot of of most of their life to Trying to become financially successful. I mean just the amount of work that it took and so I had this really, you know crazy challenge or You know thing that I wrestled with in my brain is okay Yeah, I do believe I want to have a son one day And I do want to make sure that I'm every bit there for him because I didn't have a father figure really in my life And so I want to experience all that and I definitely don't want to have a kid during the time But then I had this other Thing where I was like man I really really want to be successful and I know that it takes, you know long hours and Sacrifice and constantly being buried into whatever this this career is and so I wrestled with that for a very long time And feel very blessed that you know have found what we have found now and built what we've built because it has Created this ability for me to not miss out on anything that Max is going through and I'm very cognizant of every milestone and every moment that I can be a part of because I know I didn't get that so You know, it's a it's a sad lesson because I didn't have it But it's I'm also grateful for that because it's it's that it's on the top of mine for me all the time It's not like, you know, I know that some I'm sure there's a lot of fathers out there that you know Look at providing for their kids is like, hey, I'm being a great dad I'm providing and I think that you are a great dad if you're providing for your family But I also think there's another part that is really really important on how you mold and raise raise your kid and being a Part of their family and I feel blessed that I'm now in a position where I can do both But I'm constantly thinking about all the things that I didn't get to do all the things that I Didn't have or missed out on by not having a father figure and that I don't ever I feel like I have an opportunity to Live relive all that what I missed through my son And so I feel like I'm not gonna miss out on that because I'm very aware that I didn't get it So I'm very determined to make sure that I'm a part of all of it. Well, very cool
