00:00:00.000 what a weird dude I am.

00:00:01.540 I literally thought, how stupid am I

00:00:04.100 that I'm answering the phone,

00:00:05.740 trying to show them I care about them,

00:00:07.840 and then saying I'm too busy to talk.

00:00:10.020 When I started as an entrepreneur, I was in hustle mode.

00:00:13.340 I was just scared to fail.

00:00:14.540 Everything I could do, I had to do.

00:00:15.880 All of a sudden, you realize you haven't talked

00:00:16.940 to your family in three weeks,

00:00:17.900 and you're like, oh, I should probably answer the phone.

00:00:19.300 Okay, I'm busy.

00:00:20.940 What's up?

00:00:21.780 Why did you answer if you can't talk?

00:00:23.060 Saying it out loud, and I realized how stupid it sounds.

00:00:24.940 So I just made that a commitment for the rest of my life,

00:00:26.900 that I will not answer the phone unless I have time to talk.

00:00:29.380 And I think that's just a better way to live

00:00:31.300 because if you do care about people,

00:00:32.620 you can't show them the opposite and then say,

00:00:35.000 well, you don't understand, I really do care about you.

00:00:36.720 It's like your actions tell me everything.

00:00:38.380 How you act tells me more than what you say.
