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.

We're going to make an AI that... figures out what everybody should order in a restaurant. I don't know, whatever it is. We're going to raise $2 million. We're going to hire a bunch of programmers. We're going to program this up over the next year. And then we're going to start selling it to restaurants, our new software package to restaurants. Well, that's a horrible execution idea.

How about instead, a friend of yours has a restaurant. We go to that friend and say, listen, can we go from table to table this night and see if we can help everybody with their orders? And we'll see, oh, everybody already had their preferences even before they got to the restaurant, they knew what they wanted to order. So this is a bad idea.

You have to have execution ideas on how to execute. There are good execution ideas and bad execution ideas. So let's say you and I came up with a business idea and we said, oh, this is so good.
