00:00:00.000 Growing up, my dad had four kids.

00:00:01.640 He worked really hard, but at the end of the day,

00:00:03.420 when we finally got to see him, he's laying on the couch.

00:00:05.540 I made a commitment to myself when I had kids

00:00:07.280 that I never want to say to my kids, I'm too tired.

00:00:09.920 I remember I'm doing 75 hard, two workouts a day,

00:00:12.560 one has to be outside.

00:00:13.780 I had a massive day, and I come home,

00:00:15.420 and my son Noah, I was like,

00:00:16.560 what do you want to do tonight?

00:00:17.460 He goes, I want to bike downtown and go for pizza,

00:00:19.420 just me and you.

00:00:20.020 And I'm like, I can't even eat the pizza.

00:00:21.940 My wife looks at me, and she says to Noah,

00:00:24.100 hey, I think your dad had a big day.

00:00:26.040 Maybe do that another night.

00:00:27.320 And I said, no, I'm going to do it.

00:00:28.660 Because for me, when I don't want to do stuff,

00:00:31.020 but I made a commitment to do it and I keep it,

00:00:33.120 I'm essentially building my self-confidence.

00:00:35.100 I'm building the person that I said I would become.

00:00:37.260 To me, it's not in the moments when it's easy,

00:00:38.920 it's when it's hard.
