We teach our kids to be themselves, smile, don't lie, and make others happy. 😁

My wife and I stay up at nightβ€”not because we’re night owls, but because we wait for our oldest son to walk through the door, dragging in from a shift as a first responder πŸš‘ πŸš’. Tired, but wired to get the full rundown: the chaos, the calm, the lessons. He’s working his way toward paramedic school and the fire academy.

I smile 😁

Then there’s my youngest daughter. She doesn’t just hear musicβ€”she feels it. One minute it’s quiet, the next she’s belting out 2Pac and NOT Taylor Swift πŸ₯³πŸ₯±. I hear her before I see her. She’s loud, alive, and fully in it.

I smile 😁

My oldest daughter just had foot surgery. But because life doesn’t hit pause, she’s still chasing her path into the medical field while healing. I watch her push throughβ€”focused, funny, and resilient πŸ₯ŠπŸ‘©β€βš•οΈ as hell.

I smile 😁

And my youngest son? Deep in code. Creating. Debugging. Asking me questions. Watching him bring his ideas to life, line by line, I’m reminded: curiosity is a superpower πŸ§ πŸ› οΈ that AI will never take away.

I smile 😁

Each one, in their own way, is becoming a solid human.

And that’s the only kind of ROI that matters.
