I wonder if you could talk to us.
a little bit about how to make it easier for other people to tell the truth and how you also manage to be honest with them.
One of the things that I think is striking about you is how grounded you are.
Uh and I know that's in some ways part of your upbringing.
You've said that you grew up dirt poor in a one room cabin with eleven siblings, but it would be I think easy for a lot of people in your position to lose sight of that.
So how have you stayed so down to earth?
Well, you've also taken incredibly meaningful strides over the years to pay forward the blessings that you've had.
I saw one in the news just last month that starting in February, every employee at Dollywood who wants to pursue higher education gets a hundred percent of tuition covered.
How did that come about?
I would love to see every company on earth make that commitment and follow your lead.
Let's make it happen.
Those of you who are listening who run businesses, this is the example to follow.
Dolly, when you were just getting started out as a business owner, uh, what was bad career advice that you received?
Anything that that people advised that either you regretted following or you were glad that you didn't?
It's interesting to me when you talk about your work ethic.
Over the years, when studying creativity, I find myself constantly having to tell people, you cannot rush creativity.
Great ideas take time.
And yet your career suggests that that might be wrong.
Uh one of your biggest songs, I Will Always Love You, you wrote that in one night.
And then another, Jolene, in the same night.
