Jay Shetty opens a philosophical thread about why sports matter beyond exercise, arguing that you can only feel confident when you have genuine competence — a tangible skill or ability that goes beyond screen time. Miles agrees emphatically: sport is the great equaliser because the same sword is in everyone's hand, the same mask on everyone's head, regardless of wealth. He adds a prescient note for parents: before reaching for medication for an ADD child, try first to find them something they love. Miles himself is living proof — his ADHD redirected by the discipline and focus of competitive fencing. Jay frames it as a parallel to the mentors he found in spirituality and business, and both men arrive at the same conclusion: finding your thing early is possibly life's most important accident.
