Like, you couldn't have done NECO when you were 23, right?
But you have this great quote that I know is important to you, and it says, quality is never an accident.
It is always a result of intelligent effort.
We haven't talked about quality at all, even though...
like spotify is the height like if you compare your competitors like it's just in a class by itself yeah so it's obviously very important to you yeah like we can't we have to talk about quality so like do you want to like just pick up where that quote leaves off
There's a realization you have, right?
Because I read something, you read a line, and you're like, okay, let me filter that through how I would say it.
So I do this all the time where I'll take notes on all the books that I read, and then I'll reread them.
It's like, what's occurring there?
Can I put it into one sentence?
And one thing I stumbled upon about this was
that sometimes the uh nick sleep has this great quote where he's like the best investors are not investors at all they're entrepreneurs never sold and me and you have talked about this the fact that there's a lot of people that have like sold way too early and they're like lauded and it's like what if you just didn't do that everything else you did like you if you just didn't sell uh
So Nick Sleep talks about this as like, and in other books was like, if Sam Walton didn't give away the stock in Walmart to his kids before it appreciated, you know, you have one of the largest fortunes by a single person ever for their ownership, the concentration of ownership in Walmart.
He's like, I didn't really do investing in anything but Walmart, right?
And it's like he wasn't waking up saying, I need to diversify my portfolio.
I need to worry about capital allocation.
He's just like, I believe in what I'm doing.
I'm going to keep doing it.
