— or guys at any age — crying or<br />

showing any emotion is just not<br />

something you’re quite expected<br />

to do. I remember we sat there<br />

after it ended and we just kind of<br />

looked at each other like, “Who’s<br />

going to say something first?”<br />

It was just such an amazing<br />

account of D-Day, Normandy and<br />

sacrifice.<br />

GL: What’s one of your<br />

biggest personality traits<br />

that have changed since you<br />

were in your early 20s.<br />

JC: I’m quieter than I was then. I<br />

think I’ve learned that time and<br />

place are very important when<br />

you have an opinion. To a certain<br />

extent, you may be right about<br />

something, but it might not be<br />

the right time to share it. I don’t<br />

think there’s anything wrong<br />

about saying what you feel, but<br />

I definitely do think that if you’re<br />

looking to continue improving<br />

relationships and connect with<br />

people, or you’re looking to<br />

improve your career, it’s okay<br />

to not say something from time<br />

to time. That doesn’t mean you<br />

can’t say it at some point.<br />

GL: What’s one thing<br />

you’re really into, almost<br />

like an obsession — besides<br />

sports?<br />

JC: I would probably now say,<br />

my son. As every parent that will<br />

read this knows, it’s just different.<br />

He and Sarah have been<br />

constantly on my mind as she’s<br />

still on maternity leave. I’ve been<br />

thinking about the future and<br />

how to do what’s best and how to<br />

provide, protect and guide, stuff<br />

that was as far away as you could<br />

think it would be a year ago.<br />

GL: What does living the<br />

good life mean to you?<br />

JC: What I’m doing right now. •<br />
