This is the criticism of founders and the podcasts and the books.

They're like, but he's not telling me what to do.

It's like, this is not a podcast for people that want to be told what to do.

It's here's how this guy or this woman thought about their company.

This is what they experienced.

You pull out these ideas.

I love how you kept saying don't take it literally.

I've told you this before.

I drive people crazy because I tend to turn everything into an abstraction.

So when I hear you, I've sent this message to you where you're like,

You kind of remind me of James J. Hill, which just might be the only person to ever text you this.

And James J. Hill was the most successful railroad baron of all time.

And I just thought the way – you just said the way he built – he essentially was laying railroad tracks, right?

And the goal of the company was obviously we're going to have goods and people on the tracks.

But this alone is how do I make what I'm doing more valuable?

And he's the only railroad founder ever.

in American history to not go bankrupt.

They all went bankrupt.

It's crazy.

What he realizes is like, he has to spend just as much, if not more time developing and nurturing the communities that are springing up around it.
