Arthur Brooks

from New York to take a job in the symphony orchestra, not for the job, but because I was trying to, I had to learn Spanish to try to propose to this girl.

She didn't speak a word of English, but I was hopelessly in love with a girl who didn't speak a word of English.

So I moved to her country literally and got down on one knee.

It took me still a year and a half to close the deal.

Anyway,

So fantastic.

But that was a startup life.

We both changed careers.

We built our lives together.

The sooner that you start building your life with another person and the more that you have the startup mentality about your partnership, the better off it's going to be because then you're going to change together.

You're going to celebrate each other's victories because, you know, my wife Esther, when something awesome happens, it's happening to me.

You know, and my book is on the bestseller list.

Her book is on the bestseller list.

That's because we were 24 years old together and now we're 58.

Man, that is, and again, not everybody gets that.

Some people, they meet in their 30s, some people in their 40s, but adopt the startup mindset as opposed to the 50-50.

We're going to do everything 50-50.

50-50 is 0-0.

Startup is 100-100.

And that's the basis for a great, great young and profiting relationship.
