Steven Pope

Hey, maybe we should launch on Amazon.

Maybe we should launch on Sears.

Sears used to be a thing.

Maybe we should launch on Walmart.

And everybody in the room would groan and say, ah, there goes Stephen Pope again, pitching his ideas.

He creates all this work, but then we have to be the ones to implement it.

I'm like, what's the big deal, guys?

Let's just do it.

Let's just grow.

Not everybody wants to grow.

That was the lesson that autistic ass burger Stephen Pope had to learn in business a long time ago.

I would still pitch the ideas anyway because I couldn't help myself, but I knew better.

Still ran into the trap, though.

And I think a lot of you guys know what I'm talking about.

You run into that trap all the time.

You know the trap's there, but you still trip it anyway.

And you got your 20D dice, and all you got to do is roll a 10 to avoid the trap, and you roll a 9.

A little D&D reference for you.

You got a 5% chance.

of rolling each number there's 20 on the dice so you got a 50 chance you're going to trigger that trap 50 chance you're not going to trigger the trap but you trigger it because you know you you know if you pitch enough ideas in the corporate world that you're going to trigger a trap or seven right and i i i have triggered many business traps i tell you that right now
