0:03Welcome to Chasing Life.
0:05You know, I have taken on a lot of different roles in my life.
0:08I've been a son, I've been a husband, a neurosurgeon, a journalist.
0:13But, you know, when I really think about it, I think being a dad to my three daughters is the most important role in my life.
0:20No question about it.
0:21Because I think no matter how busy things have become at times, that is the role that I always come back to.
0:28That's the role that seems to anchor everything else in my life.
0:32And my girls have gotten older now.
0:34Two of them are out of the house.
0:36I got one more who's starting her senior year now in high school.
0:39They've started to move on with their life.
0:42And as a result, I think it's really made me reflect on fatherhood in a new way.
0:47I think when you're in it, life is just so procedural.
0:50You're getting through one day to the next, sometimes just one hour to the next.
0:54But at this stage of life, you get a chance to reflect.
0:57And I've been thinking a lot more about how being a dad has changed me.
