And it's been a long, steady figuring out why that happened and how that happened and what happened to me and what happened to my marriage, what happened to my friends and what happened to our culture that's landed me here.

Our culture places no value on the why.

Why are you doing this?

I want to start a business.

Why?

I want to be my own boss.

Why?

I want to make this many millions of dollars in this amount of time.

And I'm haunted by that Michael Jordan series.

I think it was called The Last Dance on ESPN when they walked through the Chicago Bulls.

I remember Michael Jordan sitting in a hotel room

And the greatest basketball player of all time just signed this bajillion dollar contract.

He was the guy, still is the guy.

And I remember him looking at the camera sitting in a hotel room and they were talking about how he couldn't go out in the lobby and use the bathroom because there's too many people out there.

And he looked at the camera and he said, you don't want this life.

And I remember exhaling and saying, yeah, what's all this for?

For six pieces of cloth hanging in a gym somewhere so that people talk about you and your dad.

And I remember watching that video and seeing he doesn't have anybody in his life, not on his payroll.

And I remember just saying, why?

And so our culture does not place any value on the day in and day out lived experience of our human lives.
