Meeting Celebrities: Handling Disappointing Experiences

[10:27]

• Listener asks about meeting celebrities who disappoint.

• Talks about using a baby monitor called an “Owlet.”

• Now that he’s a dad, he’s more careful about boundaries: “I won’t touch anybody’s baby. I definitely won’t kiss anybody’s baby… But I’m not scared of babies anymore, especially mine.” [16:37]
