No, and I've seen you talk about this as well, that it's not always the talent, but it's the grind and it's the effort and it's the dedication.
And I think that's where the separation is.
And by the way, if you know that you're not the most talented guy and you know that you're not the most brilliant person, what are you going to do?
Like, here's the one thing, the one thing that I had aside from I knew what I wanted to do at a pretty early age.
I knew the price that I was willing to negotiate with myself to get that done.
That's the other sidebar.
When I was in UC Santa Barbara, I thought nothing of getting up at 4.30 in the morning to go work an internship for free when the other kids were saying, dude, I'm not going to make that 8 o'clock class.
And I'm not saying I'm a hero for doing that.
I'm kind of a loser for doing it because I was terrified of falling behind.
I was afraid that somebody else would get that gig if I didn't do it.
But because I knew what I wanted to do and because I negotiated that price with myself at an early age, it was nothing for me.
In fact, it felt good, man.
I've heard you talk about this, like the dopamine that goes off in your head.
It was a drug.
It was an adrenaline thing.
It was natural.
I felt good.
I was getting up early, going to work, getting the line on the resume.
So I felt good.
