  What is it?

• 00:10

  Well, we're taking over an amazing sleepaway camp about 90 minutes outside of New York City at the end of August.

• 00:17

  It will be an incredible blend of about 350 entrepreneurs, makers, world shakers, and just regular people looking to connect, to hang out, to rejuvenate, to restore, and to learn together, literally, from around the globe.

• 00:32

  If that feels like a pretty cool place to be at the end of August, then go ahead and check out the details@goodlifeproject.com.

  When I was a kid, I grew up on the water.

• 00:50

  I mean, literally, the beach was at the end of my block, so I'm kind of a water kid.

• 00:57

  And we spent a lot of the summers just down, hanging out on the bay, running around, fishing some time, swimming and sailing.

• 01:07

  Sailing was huge in the town that I grew up in.

• 01:09

  I actually grew up in the town, which, if you've ever read the great Gatsby, is the actual original east egg.

• 01:15

  So east egg is a town called Port Washington on Long island, which is just outside of New York City.

• 01:20

  And that was my town where I grew up.

• 01:23

  And so we spent a lot of time in the warm weather down by the water.

• 01:26

  Now, one of the other things we loved to do was water skiing.

• 01:30

  We kind of all learned to do that pretty young, and this was back when the water was a lot cleaner also, so it was more fun being in it.

• 01:37

  There's an interesting thing that happens when you're learning to water ski that's kind of circled back to me because it's a really powerful statement about human nature and our refusal to let go of what we perceive to be safety, but is actually an anchor in our lives.

• 01:54

  So when you're learning to water ski, if you've never done this before, basically you put on a life vest and then move to the back of the boat, and you strap on a ski or two skis when you're first learning.

• 02:07

  And then you kind of slide off into the water, and you're just kind of sitting there buoyant by the life vest.

• 02:13

  Then somebody tosses out a rope that's attached to the boat and there's a handle on it.
