Like, how do you know you're gonna fail unless you actually tried?

Way too often we precalculate failure and just abort mission altogether.

We literally talk ourselves out of our own dreams every single day.

And so this was a day where I say, I'm going to actually talk myself into it.

And so I started asking people, you know, what would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?

And so when I asked that question, it was like, well, hey, I'd be in the NBA.

So I meet Kobe and I say, hey, I'm doing a documentary called Chasing Failure.

I'm actually going to ask a lot of people, what would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?

And I'm going to go for something that I think I'll probably fail, but there's only one way to find out.

And that's for me to try.

So I say, I'm going to be in the NBA.

You were supposed to tell me about 4 a.m.
