The reason I started talking about life's work and investing.
is these people come to realize you will not be rewarded with great work if you do not become a good leader.

They can get a lot done themselves.
And I refer to this as like heroics.
And that's always necessary.
A founder always has the sort of, is the flame keeper of the spirit of the company.
And I think founder-led companies are so much, of course, so much more interesting, preaching to the choir here, than professionally managed companies for the most part.
But I do think that like becoming a great leader
becomes the most important way to secure more right to do great work.
There's tons of people I admire who change what they do a lot or have changed what they do a lot, who stopped one thing and went to another thing.
But they're doing something.
Yeah.
I'm just wired this way.
You are too.
I just need to be doing something.
I can't sit around.
I'm drawn to people that want to make stuff.
I have tons of examples of people who have been
tried lots of things and made lots of things and moved on from things and had chapters in their life and then a new chapter with doing something totally different there's there's one um investor that comes to mind whose name is john pfeffer and john has been wildly successful in like the it's almost like he picks whatever he's doing and as he gets to the tail end of it he tries to find like the thing in the world that is the most different from what he's doing
