He recently spoke to Esquire magazine about how his "solid" home life is the basis for his success. "We do these stories and we talk so much about the business end, the success end, but then Lauren isn't mentioned, and my daughter is mentioned," he commented. "I always like making sure we find the balance and my home life is in there, and Lauren Hashian is in there, and my daughter is in there."You gotta get the better half in there!" he added.
