  It's Friday and it's time for our agile, not so agile episode of the Daily Stand Up Podcast. So I thought it'd be fun to go back in time a little bit. And when I say a little bit, I'm talking about maybe 1998 or so. That was when I met someone who changed my life forever. So on this Friday episode, I thought I'd just do a quick tribute to my wonderful wife. So we met online and from there we met in person and went on a few dates and decided that, you know, she was absolutely amazing and there was not a chance, a snowball's chance in Hades that I was going to wind up with somebody so amazing. But one of the things that I realized was I had a lot of self doubt.

  And the reason I had self doubt was because in the past, I was never brought up to believe that I would warrant anything of merit or that I would do anything that would be exceptional. Never in a million years have you told me that by 2026, I would own my own business and do my own thing and, and, you know, have four amazing kids and have a life that was absolutely incredible. You know, I never would have believed that I could own multiple businesses and I could do all these things, but the truth is you can. And I guess where I'm trying to go with this is behind every good man and behind his dream is typically a wife or spouse, someone that supports them and uplifts them and carries them to where they need to be.

  What I've found is this journey is impossible or nearly impossible to try to do on your own. So my question is, why not seek happiness? Why not find someone who can help bring you the joy that you need so that you can continue to build on that friendship, that relationship, and so that you can be someone who allows someone else to hold your hand and walks by, by your side, someone else who will uplift you, someone else who will move you and take you to places you've never been. So I've been married for 26 years and what I can tell you is I love my wife today more than I did yesterday. And she is my rock and that's a wonderful thing.

  But what I can tell you is she celebrates this next year, another year around another, another lap around the sun, another year getting older. What I can tell you is she's getting better and better and better at everything that she does. And she absolutely impresses me every day. So I just wanted to carve out one episode, a quick one to say happy birthday and to express my love. Uh, can't do it every single time, but I try to do it when I know that I need to. And I don't know that I've said it enough. So happy birthday. May you have the best day ever. My challenge for all of you is to find a way to uplift the person who lifts you the most. Identify who their person is, uplift them, give them an opportunity to be in a spotlight. Because I know they deserve it and I know you'll feel better when you do. That's gonna do it for this quick episode. I hope you enjoyed it.
