And the reason they did that is because he was a fan of early Sony products.

But he also had very fine, refined taste and everything else.

He's like, I'm a big fan of Sony, but your products aren't good enough.

You have all these deficiencies.

And Akio, being the genius that he was, he goes, we hired him as a paid critic.

His job was to attack the deficiencies in our product because we don't even see them.

And the paid critic, his point was that, hey, if you're a ballet dancer, you have a mirror.

Your mirror tells you what you're doing right, what you can fix, what you need to do.

He's like, I'm your oral mirror.

And then fast forward to when the book is published in 1986.

That paid critic is now the president of Sony.

And I feel exactly – I'm this way.

It's like we need a mirror.

Yeah.

And I think what I'm curious about with you is like I remember I just had dinner with Mike Ovitz.

And, you know, I think his autobiography is one of the best entrepreneur autobiographies ever written because he tells you about the bad shit.

The fact that he didn't like who he was.

He was depressed.

He was doing this – making bad decisions based on the opinions of other people, which entrepreneurs cannot do.
