They kick things off embracing the idea that the older you get, the more you realize how much you don't know, referencing Benjamin Franklin via How to Win Friends and Influence People. The conversation flows through personal anecdotes—like last-minute back-to-school hustle—and observations on how COVID-19 has magnified how fast kids grow up.
