And so I think, you know, the analogy I use with the million-dollar racehorse, which is if you had a million-dollar racehorse, and every time that horse ran a race and won, you'd make a million dollars. Then the question is, well, how would you get there? You would have the best trainers. You would have the best – Nutrition plan. You have the rest, rejuvenation, relaxation.

You wouldn't have the horse up till 3 a.m. watching porn, smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol. You would not have the horse hanging out with loser horses. You'd have the horse in the right races, the race selection. of where you put your time, attention, money, effort, and energy is critical. So the key is the million-dollar racehorse in a flow state is a badass.

The million-dollar racehorse not in a flow state is a life of pain, angst, and just not winning, right? So I think this whole conversation accumulates with how do you win? And I say this as a joke to young people, and it's kind of funny, and I almost do it to remind myself. It's like if I would have known being successful was this much work, I would have stuck with being a loser.

Yeah. And at the same time, I say that funnily, but I'm actually kind of like, you're glad you wrote the 14 books. You're glad. So it's like Somerset Maude, I think, said, I don't like writing. I like having written.

Right. And by the way, I might have misquoted something because I think that it may or may not be Somerset Maude that said it. Because I know my buddy Steven Pressfield says it's that Somerset Maude also, I think, said it's not the writing that's hard. It's sitting down to write that's hard.

And like, let's say, you know, Branson swooped in a week before the XPRIZE flight, the first one flew, and he licensed the technology. So he didn't even create it. Yeah. Right. He just licensed it. Right. And it was created through this grandiose dream to see if you can pull something off. And the world advances on the backs of its neurotics is something my buddy Gary Halbert would say.

And it's, you know.

And it's, you know.

That's why I bought the domain name spaceuniversity.com like 12 years ago because I knew it was going to be a big thing one day. Still haven't done much with it yet. So let me say this last thing because I know we need to wrap about space. When I went to the Mojave Airport, which I've been to twice, which is like the Silicon Valley of space travel, Stu, who's no longer the – he used to run it.

He used to be the CEO or whatever his title was there, but he ran it. He said, we give people permission to come here and die. And he was telling that to a whole room of us on the 10th year anniversary of X Prize when they won. And he said, what I mean is that people are going into something. If you're going to explore this, they're going to die.

And if they don't have permission to come to a place where they can do that, the world is never going to advance in this particular area. So all that being said, how would we take everything related to flow? Because there are people that are watching this. Tommy recruits them. He's helping them in all kinds of different ways. Like, what are the things that this could be a very dangerous area.
