We have too much shit in our own life, right? But they showed one boy and as a result in this one village, like the bulk of kids would not make it to their sixth birthday because of water. So they took this one boy in this village and they, when he was five years old, took him around the world, completing his bucket list because he was gonna die at six statistically.

And it is the most moving three minutes you will ever watch And even if you've seen it, even if you know the ending, you will still cry. You can't not because it is so designed to grab you in this evolutionary way that we all do. And so it's like you do the equivalent of that and like, of course Nike's gonna say yes.

Also like you build like a marketing campaign with them where they can talk about what they're doing for girls. It makes everyone at the company feel good. Maybe the one, you know, maybe it's like an like the equivalent of the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award. Does Nike do the national gala of all of these amazing, tiny little 10 and 12 year old bad asses? who've built these things?

And do they hold it in New York and give the number one winner an internship? I mean, come on. There is so much media they get out of that. There's so much feel good. And how much would it cost? A couple million dollars? How many seats could you get with a couple million dollars? They could make a massive, massive difference.

And it's compound interest of that, right? I mean, it's like, you know, every day, what can you do that will be a favor to the future you who's going to be in this position and need to sell Nike? Who can you meet? What can you learn? What can you put in place?

I cannot tell you the numbers with both of my startups I was building, the numbers of future favors to the future me that I had no idea I was doing in my 20s or 30s that were company changing moments in my 30s or 40s.

I mean, I have a hilarious one, which is Mark Zuckerberg. Like when I was at Businessweek, I first called Mark Zuckerberg when Facebook had just closed the Peter Thiel round of funding and he had just moved to Palo Alto. And I called the company and he answered the phone. Like that's how long ago it was. Now, he had already raised money from Peter. He was in the Valley.

But you can't imagine at that moment how much, even when David Z did the $500 million Greylock round, I made a bet with another CEO over a fancy dinner anywhere in the world because he insisted not only, the bet wasn't even will Facebook go public and be worth 500 million, which seemed unbelievable to everyone. The bet was, will they be out of business by this time next year?
