And that idea of being the bison, stepping into the discomfort, putting yourself out there.
A lot of people talk about luck.
Oh, I'm going to share one more story with you.
It's from Christopher Nolan.
You're going to resonate.
So Christopher Nolan, for anyone not so familiar, he's the incredible director of Oppenheimer and Inception and what else has he done?
He's brilliant.
And a lot of people... Interstellar too.
Oh, Interstellar, that's right.
A lot of people will say he is phenomenally lucky with the weather when he shoots.
Interesting.
Phenomenally lucky because he's got some incredible, incredible scenes with just the weather being exactly what it needed to be.
Like there was this one scene in Inception, not Inception, in Oppenheimer, where they were doing the detonation of the first nuclear bomb.
And they had this incredible, dark, ominous storm that was rolling in.
And they were able to film and get this incredible scene that created cinematic magic.
There was so much drama.
Now, Nolan, in interviews, he rejects the idea that he's lucky.
He says, I am not lucky.
I am incredibly unlucky.
But we have made a pact and a commitment that when we go out there, we shoot no matter what the weather conditions are.
