Achieving Work Life Balance: You're Your Own Judge

I have no interest in imposing my work life balance on anybody else people are emailing me and saying gez man I followed you for seven years I've heard you talk about hustle from the day I met you I didn't get it you're like really working at a level that makes me feel uncomfortable they're saying that is a good thing and then there's other people saying hey man cool and great job buddy you're going to be a billionaire and buy the Jets but your family's going to hate you and you're going to regret this die lonely and so Lizzie and I have our work life balance we communicate about it we grew up a certain way I think that it's a common conversation but I think it's kind of like raising kids right I would never have the audacity to tell somebody how to raise their children because every individual Situation's different people aren't in my bedroom they don't know what makes me and my wife happy or me and my kids I'm all in when I'm around a lot of people who judge my work life balance a lot of people that are going to Tweet about this podcast around this issue when they're home they're looking at their phone they're playing video games they're not really engaging mentally with their spouse or their children and so I don't think it's a quantity game I think it's a quality game I also think that you're speaking right now to a guy whose dad he didn't even know until 14 years old cuz he worked every minute and I have the greatest relationship in the world with my dad and I love him so much and I've been massively fulfilled if either one of us leave the Earth tomorrow I will feel phenomenal of the quality of our relationship I get it you'll never get back the moments when a kid is three and they do the first this that and the other thing on the flip side you never get back the moments in the 20s 30s and 40s I mean when my parents and I go on vacation together like I go and lay in their bed until 2: in the morning right just talk to them and that comes out of having a great relationship and that doesn't happen for a lot of people who saw every whiffle ball game and every dance recito I have no interest in telling people how to live their work life balance I'm thrilled for anybody to critique mine because I understand I put myself so out there so I deserve it I just want everybody know the only people that I'm going to respond to around this conversation are the 11 people in my most Inner Circle of my family who are the people that I most care about around this issue
