He draws interesting lessons from his life that you don’t hear all the time from famous people. One example is the ultimate priority of family responsibilities over money, skills, work, etc. He comes out strongly against divorce due to the lifelong effect on kids (which I think undercuts his point that his own father loved his children more than anything—he may have never missed a bedtime kiss, but he still let his kid be put in that horrific position at the courthouse). Secondly, his admission that he did not see the light or get rehabilitated in prison but found purpose in family and work afterward is worthy of highlighting given the mandate for US politicians to be tough on crime.
