Yeah, so leadership, so you can imagine that if you're making someone an offer for a partnership, let's say, because that's a form of leadership, the first thing you want to do, I think, and you tell me what you think about this, is like, well, this is what I'm envisioning. This is where I see this going, right? Does that strike a chord in you?

And the answer might be no, and then maybe we could discuss some more because you don't understand exactly, or it might be, okay, well, then you're not the right player for this game, right? And you don't want to force that at all because if the person doesn't share your vision, well, you're not in a partnership. So that's just an exploration, right?

And then the next thing would be something like, the next question would be, is there something that we could do together that would work out better than if we each did it separately, right? And that's a question too. Like one of the things that popped up, for example, when you were talking about your clothing company, so we're thinking about merchandise for Peterson Academy.

And so I thought the first, one of the things that popped into my mind when we were talking was, And I can just ask you this. Do you do custom clothing? We can. Okay. Because one of the things we were thinking about for our merch is that it should be locally sourced, right? Yeah. And so...

So that's part of the quest there, too, and the vision. Because the vision should be nested inside a broader vision, right, to be really compelling. Yes.

Well, then the profit becomes the means to the ends, right? Essentially, because profit has a bad rap because people think about it as exploitation. But what they don't understand is that if your aim is true... Profit is the mechanism by which you accelerate your progress, clearly, because you can't do anything unless you have capital freed up to invest. You can only maintain yourself.

There's no progress in a new direction. And so then that puts profit in its proper place. And almost all the people I know that are businessmen who aren't narcissistic psychopaths, and most businessmen aren't because that fails, they're not interested in money for the sake of money. They might use it as a marker of competence and status, and there's something to that.

But the ones that are really great, they just think, well... obviously I need to make some money because I can't make this thing grow unless I have money. And then the money That's a plus, not a negative. And the profit motif there is more a testament to efficiency and the desire to progress than anything else.
