That's why I talk about loosely coupled or tightly coupled businesses is because I read it. Because I read a lot of these management ideology books, a lot of these CEO books, and they've built behemoths of companies. And they've went through a lot of the same problems that me and you both go through in building these companies.

You know, Michael Ovitz talked about when he built his agency, he was so behind the scenes of the movie industry that he's seen what was coming out before it did, and it made me even more convinced that I had to build Hubble Agency, because I was on set every day for the best of the best stuff. I was behind the scenes. If I never read Michael Ovitz's book, I would never know.

I would never have seen that vision. You know what I mean? And you read all these books and do these things. If you don't think that you need to, and your arrogance or your hubris is gonna just say that you just know exactly how to do it, good luck. You may be the exception that gets through, but most likely the person who studied and learned is gonna do better.

All right, Vince, go ahead. Well, also real quick. If you're utilizing your time, if you're an entrepreneur, what's the best use of my time, right? Are you either going to drive and listen to music or are you going to drive and listen to an audio book? Are you going to drive and listen to a mastermind that you're watching or something like that?

Your entertainment, your new entertainment should be watching masterminds and learnings. Why not? It's the best. I drive 35 minutes to work and 35 minutes back, I listen to audio books. I don't listen to music anymore. I only listen to music if I want to go out. I want to get into a good mood. If I'm going to work, I want to get thrilled about being at work. I want to be inspired, excited.

Oh, that's a good idea. I'm going to apply that today. This is great. Use your time wisely because we only have a few years doing this. Ultimately, with a 40-year run within just doing business, how can I use every single day?

because you gotta feel like you're giving back, because it's the right thing to do. I don't care what Bible you read, if it's the Torah, the Koran, or the Bible, it all talks about giving back. You have to give back, it's part of your soul. It just makes you feel more fulfilled. We are so stressed out the month of December. It's literally going nuts.

We had a three-hour meeting, arguing in Vegas about the Miami Heat Arena, what's gonna happen. It's so stressful. The morning of the day, if we don't have enough toys, this happens.
