But it's possible.

Yeah, yeah.

You might be limiting your own imagination by not giving yourself enough free time to ponder the possibilities.

Yeah, I think that's a good call out.

We have a chapter in the book called Never Too Late where we highlight a number of people that had their defining career start after 40.

I don't think it's easy for the reason you bring up, which is commitments.

One of the people we profile in that chapter is Saul Kahn, who created the Kahn Academy.

And Saul...

worked at a hedge fund, was doing rather well.

I think fortunately his wife was working also and he was doing something on the side, helping a family member overseas that led to the creation of the tools that became Khan Academy.

he felt drawn to doing it as a nonprofit, which makes that math even harder.

But his wife was supportive of him trying it for a year.

They literally said, let's do it for a year.

So he walked away.

And once again, I think having the flexibility to do that as part of living within your means, they couldn't have done that otherwise.

But look what happened.

I mean,

There are very few people on this planet that have changed the world as much as Sal Khan has.

Yeah.

Wonderful guy.
