It is not a checklist.

That part is unpredictable.

What that means is you have to recognize that you're going to learn experientially as you're progressing with disruption.

You're going to have to be ready to handle setbacks and you're going to need a lot of friends to help you along the way.

And then you got to strap yourself in and be ready for the ride because exactly what will happen exactly when it will happen is very hard to tell.

That's the idea of being predictably unpredictable.

and that is true for anybody anybody who is wildly successful julia child she's born in 1912 she does not come out of the womb as a great chef nobody does the first time she cooked a meal for her husband paul child she made brains in red wine i have no idea why she picked that recipe but sounds not very appetizing and it was a disaster when she visited paul's family

The joke was she couldn't successfully boil water when she went to France and got struck by this idea of cooking French food.

She enrolled in Le Cordon Bleu and then failed the final exam.

There's a lot of setbacks along the way before you actually see success.

You go and study people who are great athletes, almost all of them.

Yes, of course, they're touched by God with amazing talent, but almost all of them will tell you stories of shooting a thousand shots in the driveway and working and working and working.

to get better at something and the help of a coach.

Because it's not just practice, it's deliberate practice where someone can give you feedback and help you get better.

We see the end of the story.

We don't see the work that goes into it.

That's something that I think really struck me in the research.

Then there's something, John, that just struck me literally last week.

So last week, I got a call from my publicist.

She said, we're considering pitching a story to ARP.
