It is not easy to work here. I'm going to tell you that up front because we're trying to do something that we can tell our grandkids about, that we can be proud to say, this is what granddad did.

I'm surprised Tim said that because if you go back and Steve Jobs is like, obviously what I consider him probably the greatest entrepreneur of all time, just for his, he's got a very unique story. Like there's only, there's really no other founder that if you think about the story of Steve Jobs, he founded Apple twice. And the second time he was alone.

And Steve's take on this was the reason that you have to love what you do is because it's so hard and so painful that if you don't, you'll quit. And it's sane. And he goes, why do people quit? Because it's sane. That's the sane thing to do. It's the misfits, the rebels, you know, the people that actually are obsessed with what they're doing that are able to persevere.

He also has this other quote that he feels what separates the success, half of what separates successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is just pure perseverance. All these ideas are all related, like excellence, capacity to take pain. You should love what you do because if you love what you do, you'll keep doing it through the pain.

I would say one of the greatest, if you're talking about like one of the near perfect entrepreneur autobiographies is Phil Knight's Shoe Dog, where he's telling the story of Nike. And the reason I think it's great is because it's in every chapter is a year and it goes in sequential order from the time he has the idea till the IPO of Nike.

So like everybody identifies with the struggle, wanting to like have a dream, wanting to achieve it. I wish more biographies were like that because they spend too much time after the person's super rich and like donating things to education. That's way less relatable. This is an egalitarian, a temporally egalitarian book. This is like 90% struggle.
