“Know it's interesting because I think it was more the second for me, like it just was what was happening. And I don't ever remember struggling in any grand way with the way that things were going. And look, maybe that's my nature. I do my, I know my parents worked very hard to be loving and available to both of us. And I had like lots of access to my mother and I talked to her all the time and I called her for advice. When she got to kind of be the fun mom or the advice mom, you know, she didn't have to discipline me and she could just be the person who was there when I needed like emotional support. I do know that like one of the things that resulted, and at least when we were younger, was my sister and I, but we weren't super close, but lots of siblings aren't super close in their kids, whether they're living in the same house or not, they're fighting and they're competitive. But as we got older, I became like wildly protective of my.”

“Just like so terrified to put the kitten down. So either they grip very tightly or in my father's case, they throw you up in the air and, you know, and expect that they've given you the skills to land. And that was definitely his strategy.”

“He'd lean over the railing and he'd go, Whose day is it? I'd have to say it's my day. And then he'd say, what are you going to do? And I'd have to say, grab it by the balls. And then what are you going to do? And I'd have to say and twist and twist. But, you know, it's funny because it was like my dad was just, he was such a great dad. He was a really engaged guy. But, you know, I mean, he was a single father and relatively young. So maybe there were a few boundaries of propriety that he danced along. But he just encouraged me, you know, it just encouraged me to be a aggressive. He was one of those, I think it's very hard for single parents, period. And I think it's very hard for fathers and daughters because, you know, I just think if you're a dad, the world just looks like a field of broken glass and potholes and molten lava. And then you've got this little kitten.”

“Yeah, well, I was raised at my parents' divorce when I was 10 and my father, my parents, you know, I always joke that like, you know, it's only rich people that can afford to fight about custody. You know what I mean? Poor people just do whatever they have to do to like manage. And my parents, neither of them could really afford two kids. And also neither of them could afford to pay child support. So each of them just took one of us. And I was older, so I went with my father. He was like, you know, which one can wash itself? And then that was the one that he took. And he, you know, my father is the king of the very terse and pointed motivational speech. So I would leave for school in the morning. And we lived, I grew up in San Francisco. At one point we lived upstairs in a Victorian. So I'd go down these very steep stairs.”

“Accomplish is really the bed at some point in their lives, maybe multiple times, because I just think it's instructive. I think people don't start because they're afraid they're going to fail. And there's just no way around. The path to success is through failure. You just can't get around it.”

“Oh, absolutely. I mean, the name for that book came from this part of my show, Self-Inflicted Wounds, which is tell me a story about something that's gone wrong in your life, that's your own fault. Like, you know, you can't blame anyone else, not your ex, not the bullies in your school, not the man. You know, you did it to yourself. And it was really a way of initiating a conversation about risk and failure because I feel like people see people who are successful and assume that a part of that success or the reason that that success is that they haven't made any mistakes and they haven't failed that they've got a charmed life in some way or they figured some kind of formula out. And the most successful people are people who don't just manage risk, but engage in risk and court failure actively. So I always love to have people listening see that some of that they admire and that they think is really”

“It's so thrilling to hear and really, really gratifying. Yeah, I mean, it's amazing. I think podcasts are wonderful and terrible beasts, but like really satisfying. Even when they're like punishingly difficult to manage, they're still so satisfying. So I'm really happy. I'm happy that you're enjoying it.”
