“I think a really important thing, something I learned later in life is you know, probably having tough conversations before you get married. You can have a tough conversation maybe even before you get serious.” “Make sure you surround yourself with the right people. So that you can absorb the right ideas. You know, because like you’re gonna interact with so many different people and so many people are gonna have an opinion about what you’re good at and what you should do and who should hang out with and what we should eat and watch and all this stuff. Some of that is great information. Some of it’s well-intentioned, but it’s crappy information.” Mark and I talk about Relationships, children, challenges and. Of course, Fatherhood.
