"Oftentimes, as you're building a business, you're on the go, you're moving around, the kids grow up fast in a blink of an eye. Next thing, you know, they're walking and they're riding the bike, running and flipping around and that's the problem," he said.

The father of three stated that he is in a different position in life and is "really looking forward to being an older dad."
