There's a guy named Les Schwab who we could have talked about him when we talked about the trying to not wind up like your dad. Because his dad was a drunk and a loser. And Les was very poor. And his dad, I think Les is like 12 years old or 9 years old. And his dad, they find him dead in a ditch in front of a bar. And Les goes on to build a multi-billion dollar tire company.

And again, I think if you really want an edge in what you're doing, again, I'm not trying to copy, I'm not trying to make a tire company. I'm not trying to invent the instant photography like Edwin Land did. I'm not trying to be an inventor like Thomas Edison. I'm not trying to build an advertising agency. like David Ogilvie. But I just take that idea. It's like the good ones no more.

So it's like, not only am I going to spend, I read for a few hours every day, right? That's usually in the morning because that's the time my brain works best. Then I usually have lunch. And then in the afternoon, what I do is then I reread past highlights and re-listen to old episodes. And I just seep myself in that.
