So like everybody identifies with the struggle, wanting to like have a dream, wanting to achieve it.

He doesn't use that word, but he's like – he goes, you don't ever stop, but sometimes quitting is the best thing. Meaning, like, you're in the wrong path, so quit that path, but don't stop trying to actually do what you want to do in life and what you want to set out to accomplish.

He had this video podcast, what we call a video podcast today called Foundation. And it was excellent, high quality. You would love it. Cause like shot in like crazy cameras, great sets. And so you go back and he actually interviews Elon. And so I watched this in 2012. Okay. And their interview is on Tesla's factory floor. So you kind of hear the stuff in the background.

Because I wanted to do a podcast on biographies and autobiographies, is because Kevin Rose asked Elon a question that changed my life. And he's like, hey- You know, Elon has a crazy experience. Everybody knows about Tesla, SpaceX.
