this idea of manipulating, you know, the math of ideas.

So idea subtraction, what if you had your podcast and oh, for TikTok, they only allow 60 seconds.

So let's take the concept of a podcast, figure out how to do an episode with what's the most important thing in this episode with James.

okay, we're gonna make a TikTok 60 second podcast with James.

So that's like idea subtraction.

So if you take one concept of podcast and apply all these different ideas to it, then you'll suddenly be everywhere and you'll have lots of different formats.

One of them might hit and be super popular.

And earlier I said, success requires luck.

In order to have luck, you need to basically expand the area of luck in your life.

So-

Yes, your podcast on Spotify could get lucky and go viral.

But imagine if you also had a 60 second podcast on TikTok and a show on Amazon Prime that you uploaded yourself and a podcast network where you're just trying to make money, but one of the other podcasts becomes huge and viral and suddenly you're making like great money now with the podcast concept by having a podcast network.

You've expanded basically the surface area of your luck and that often results in great success.

Very important question because people often say ideas are a dime a dozen, execution is everything.

So let's say you and I came up with a business idea and we said, oh, this is so good.

We're going to make an AI that...

figures out what everybody should order in a restaurant.
