Recognizing the Uniqueness of Moments
The host discusses a shift in his personal relationship with time, valuing moments for their uniqueness rather than their pleasantness or unpleasantness. This shift in perspective has been particularly significant in light of his father's battle with cancer and the recognition that each moment with his father is both a first and a last.
