It's never "too late" to fight for your happiness

Transcript

I'm 62. started a company at 60. Can I tell you something crazy? This morning, okay. In the shower, when I got out and looked myself in the mirror, I literally did a math thing and said, in 10 years I'm going to be 60. And at 60, I'm going to be like, okay, I've got 30 more years of what I really want to do. And I was 30, 60, 30 years ago. And it was just crazy that I thought about being 60 this morning. Yeah. It's not it's 62 not. It's early. That's the mind. I don't believe me. No, no, and I tell my kids too, in 28, you're you're still young. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're young. I mean, plenty of time to make mistakes.
