Working with my father who is 88 is an incredible gift. Read that again slowly: working with my father, my 88-year-old octogenarian father is an incredible gift. Why? Because he's 88 and still able to work. That sets the tone for what’s possible for me. My father sets the tone for what’s possible. That is part of what our parents are for us, a role model, whether we admit it or not, it's how it works. And while we may need to work on removing some of our parental programming throughout life, we should not remove it completely without pause.
