But that takes time.

I spent the first 15 years of my career saying I didn't do a good job because that guy was a jerk or I didn't do a good job because they changed the script or I didn't do a good job because of this, that, and the other thing.

then you see people like back to our hero thing you know and then you see people are really good and they don't they don't Robert De Niro doesn't give somebody the ability to screw up his workday they don't have that power mmm he takes responsibility for that power is that a learned thing or is that you could certainly learn some of it from watching other people but is that just an experience thing

I think it's the right manifestation of confidence, right?

Young people have to fake confidence.

They just have to.

When you watch a young person in your club, they got to fake it.

Of course, they're going to have to burn through their nerves.

They're going to have to.

But once you have experience, you can have real confidence because you fought this battle before.

I know I have a certain – if I'm overwhelmed with – if my nervous system is at war with myself, I have a certain process I can – I've walked these woods before.

Example's the best.

The best teacher's example.

Unasked for advice is never heard from.

The problem with young people is they don't often ask for advice.

They think they're trying so hard to pretend like they know everything that they feel like to ask advice.

I kind of feel like that's a generalization, though, because I do know a lot of young people that do ask advice.
