So again, that line comes from a Francis Ford Coppola biography. So the way I would say this is like, I think... I have a very broad definition of entrepreneur, right? Entrepreneur is like somebody who has ideas and does them. And so I think filmmakers are entrepreneurs. I think certain athletes are entrepreneurs. I think podcasters are entrepreneurs.
It's not like, it's literally somebody, you don't have a job, you have an idea, you have something you want to happen in the world and you build a company around it to be able to accomplish that. And, that I think it's like, I know if I'm correct, it's like, I was like 242, 243 books in, and I'm going through and reading all these biographies of filmmakers.

Cause I feel like making, creating, uh, I think directors and entrepreneurs, like there's just a lot of, uh, they have a lot of similarities. And, uh, That line, like you can always understand the father by the son, by the story of the father, the father, the story of the fathers, the better and the son was literally in that book.

And it's because Francis Ford Coppola, right, is talking about the relationship that he had with his dad. And. I have two kids and I have a daughter and a son.

And what's going to happen if like you have something you want to do in your life and decade after decade, you're saying, I'm a talented musician. The world's saying, no, you're not. We're not interested in what you're offering, sir. You would become, most people, you know, I would consider the weaker people become bitter, right? And so it's not them. I'm not the problem.

It's the world that's the problem. No, it's always you. You have to have extreme ownership, you know? And so he would say stuff to his son, like Francis, when they were growing up, obviously not a lot of money. There can only be one genius in the family and that's me. So it can't be you. And like, he would try to like, basically, you know, pull his son down.

I think some entrepreneurs, some driven people make the mistake of like, oh, you're driven. And so I'm going to make my kids driven. And I think you alienate them. Sam Walton said this the best, because if you think about how crazy Sam Walton is, like if he didn't disperse his fortune through his kids, and he did this way before the actual assets appreciated. Yeah.
