So I think I'd love to... kind of break those down and we're going to do a lot of Q and A's, but, but really just overall, as you mentioned, you know, what part of your journey would you go back sort of that now looking back at yourself and those P's, what, what do you think were the things that gave you that edge or personally that, that made you turn that passion into purpose? And, and how did you create that process? It was so uniquely yours.
5:07
Yeah, I mean, I think, as you said, growing up the way I did at a tennis camp, watching all these various athletes from different backgrounds with all different personalities and different skill sets come into my home, right? It's where I lived all the time, but then they would come into my home and I'd see the way that they competed, the way that they learned, the way that they improved, the way they dealt with failure or adversity and all this stuff.
5:30
So for me, it was like the interaction was the most rewarding.
5:34
I liked watching people compete you know experience something better than what they had right before that the first times that i i would be watching i mean before i was old enough to go to my camp i would sit there and watch lessons and i didn't always watch the best kids like you'd think you know maybe you'd gravitate towards the kids who are the best because they're the most impressive but the first time you see somebody who maybe hadn't played tennis ever before coming to our camp the first time you see them like rip a forehand get the ball in the middle usually not even like knowing how to do that but it just connect right in the middle and hit a top spin forehand, like that look of like inspiration, excitement and all that, like, I somehow could viscerally experience that myself.
6:14
And I really enjoyed that part.
6:15
And I sort of, I liken it to my inner personality is like that grandmother on The Wedding Singer who makes the meatballs, the one who's like, You know, he's teaching to play the piano and, you know, she puts the meatballs in Adam Sandler's hands and she's like, you got to try them.
6:31
I like to see you like enjoy it.

27 MINS LATER

So maybe a quick little background on how that all came about in the beginning.
6:00
What does your normal day look like?
6:01
like?Up at like 6:00, so- Yeah ... a little before 6:00.
6:05
Normally the, the twins, who somehow believe that they share sleep, so if they each sleep 10 hours, they've slept 20 hours.
6:13
Ah.
6:13
So they both think they're ready to go like 5:00, 10 hours- Twin boys or girls? Twin boys.
6:18
Ah, this is gonna- Identical, identical twin boys.
6:19
Oh, wow.

10 MINS LATER

To, so we, we are getting into the summer months, and it's that moment where the pools open, and you guys have always made the point that this is the number one killer of children under five, and yet you almost never hear about it.
12:42
Yeah, I mean, I think that that was probably a benefit of, of sort of this topic, was that it was so obviously under, um, under-talked about, underappreciated from pediatricians to families.
12:54
And it can be an uncomfortable topic, and a lot of people avoid it naturally.
12:58
But we're really trying to bring that to the forefront, as well as, like, some logical things.
13:02
I mean, you know, Morgan's done some amazing stuff around kind of the, the talking points of how you can bring this stuff up, and that's been really great I think, just so that people can have the conversation amongst each other.
13:14
But we've also tried to attack it at sort of a systemic level, 'cause I think systems aren't doing the best job that they could be, especially in that area.

14:20
Yeah, a lot of people rely on floaties, and I know you guys feel like it, it's complicated about whether those are a good way to protect your child against, a- against drowning.
14:32
Right.
53:09
at all.
53:10
And, and, uh, but when I, yeah, when I can, it was unbelievably tight after three and a half minutes of racing.
53:16
Like it was all just hundreds and hundreds.
53:18
Um, that when I was in the finish area and I was like, I was just kind of enjoying my own thing.
53:26
Right.
53:26
Like, and that was a great example of, of not being overly concerned that I was three seconds out.
53:31
Like everybody else was super bummed and they were like, Oh, you're, you're out of it.
