The usual answer is adaptability.

This is the number one thing that I see.

It's the reason why I wrote the book that I did, which is called Build for Tomorrow, because it's all about how to see change as opportunity.

That Ryan Reynolds quote that I just used came in the context of us talking about how he moved from one kind of career to another and from being an actor to running an ad agency.

He didn't intend to do that.

What had happened was that he could barely get anybody to take Deadpool seriously and

And so he basically did the marketing himself with a guy that he met at the studio.

They did all this crazy, wacky stuff.

This is all stuff you would really appreciate out of basically no budget.

It drove so much interest that it made Deadpool one of the highest grossing movies.

It was very, very successful.

How do you do that?

Well, the answer is that you're willing to be bad.

You are willing to go through the transition where you're in an uncomfortable place and you don't exactly know what's next, but you just have the commitment to know that moving forward is literally the only way to get to something better.

I see that.

see people do that over and over and over and over again.

They have an ability to get past the barrier that I think most people slam into when there is some kind of change or they're trying to do something that they're not familiar, which is that they panic.

That's the first thing most people do is they panic.

I've panicked.

I'm sure Ryan Reynolds panicked.
