Welcome to season two of CEO Meets Homeschool. My name is Timea Parker, and I'm both a CEO and homeschool mom to my four boys. Welcome to episode 103. So this is a episode that I'm kind of piggybacking on the prior episode. Of 102 where I talked about a spiritual billionaire and just the extreme wealth we can have right now by recognizing the beauty of having loved ones, people that care about us, people that we love, and just being able to use our gifts and talents, doing things we enjoy like that is such a gift. It makes life beautiful. And so I'm gonna go further and I'm actually gonna mention that Jesse Itzler one more time. I was part of a coaching and summer was a big thing in our, the coaching program. He would use this term that's called summer Hard, and it just was like, you only have so many summers. So let's just say I live to be about. 80, 86 years old, so that's 40 years away. I get 40 summers left. And so it just kind of makes you think in a way that's, wow, that's not that many. And I was with my firstborn son who is gonna actually be graduating next school year, and we were out walking and I told him. I really wanted him to like make sure he like enjoys the summer because it's officially his last summer. As a kid at home next summer, whether he takes a gap year or whatever he chooses to do, he will officially be an adult. So he will be out of the kid status. He will have full responsibility. It will be completely different and it just, that summer hard term, it just, it reminds me, or it can help maybe force others. To say like, don't waste it. We get this beautiful time and we will never get it back. And summers are such a gift. And in my case it was, it was bittersweet. Like I'm proud to see, I'm hopefully raising, contributing future adults to society. But at the same time, my mom heart grieves that this is really the last summer with one of my kids. As still under the kid category, I like to call him my man child. He's 17 and so I want him to enjoy still being a young person, but also make wise, mature decisions as he's heading into adulthood. So I wanna encourage to summer hard and cherish every moment that we are given. It's a gift. Have a great day. I am so glad that you joined me today.
