Until LTU 4 I never socialized for the sake of socializing. My dad was an engineer who worked long hours and when he was home was building a new barn, on one of our tractors or something similar. He was good about allowing my brother and I to help him as we got older. Growing up I had a great work ethic because of my upbringing but was very unbalanced. All I really did growing up was study and practice sports. I was popular and had jock friends but didn’t really hang out with them outside of sports. I had nerd friends I studied with but didn’t hang with them just to hang either. If I went to a party it was to get a girl and that was it. All of this has carried through to present. I have work friends and workout friends. People consistently asked me to hang out consistently through the years but I have never made the time. Improving a sport, business, learning something new, etc. was always a higher priority. Productive... yes. Balanced.... no. Only since beginning LTU has socializing for the sake of socializing ever seemed appealing.
