There's no investment bankers.

There's not even really entrepreneurs.

It's more – I have a restaurateur and a basketball coach and a hairstylist.

And by the way, every one of those characters made a ton of money.

They didn't start –

Every single one of them started it because they loved it.

They didn't start it because they wanted to make money.

But I have examples in the book of a gentleman that fell in love with the Grand Canyon and just started writing about it and was able to turn that into a career.

And there's another gentleman in Houston that did that with Texas horticulture.

And I...

You know, so I somewhat reject the notion that you can't.

I think there's plenty of studies that show rich people that aren't happy.

Right.

And I guarantee you these people that are doing what they love every day and have an audience for it and people that reach out to them have a level of personal happiness and satisfaction that's just super high.

No doubt.

And by the way, I think it's a fair question that you pose.

And I was having a discussion with a career counselor at one of the top universities in the country, and this topic came up.

And she said, well, what if they studied English poetry or something?

And I'm like, and I gave her the two examples I just gave.

And I said, no, I think even there you could probably make a career.
