Our relationships, you know, I think we all, certainly I think I have for much of my life.

And I say that because I look at my actions. So what I might say is different to how I think

I've behaved over the last, I know, 10, 10, 15 years. We see them as kind of an afterthought to

everything else in many regards. So the amount of effort

I put into my businesses and to the podcast and to every little detail, the creativity, the thought,

the brainstorming, all of that, relationships, we kind of all just think they just happen. And if it

doesn't happen perfectly, then it's broken and I need to find a new one.

Yeah.

That's a terrible way to think.

I mean, and everybody knows it.

If you give the best of yourself at work, if you bring the leftovers home, if when you come home, you say, I've given everything I had now, I'm just putting my feet on the table.

I just need to chill. I don't want to make any effort, you say, I've given everything I had. Now I'm just putting my feet on the table. I just need to chill.

I don't want to make any effort.

You know, slowly your relationship degrades, period.

And then there's all kinds of ways it ends.

None of them are particularly joyful.

And basically, if people were able to put a little bit of creativity attention, attention,

into their relationships as they do with their customers or their guests, relationships

would be doing a lot better and my profession would be seeing a lot less people.

And there's no doubt.

And why are people so lazy, so complacent, so unimaginative with their relationships

at home?
