Today on Seeking Wisdom, we're going to do a little book review and have a little conversation about one of our favorite books by a guy named Bill Walsh.

And it's called The Score Takes Care of Itself.

Put it on your seatbelts people.

We're going to bring it today.

Boom!

This is a good day to do this because you're all fired up.

I'm fired up, wired up, ready.

Yeah.

We'll have to do another conversation. It's related to carrying. It's related to carrying the water. Exactly. We need a carrying the water part two. We need a carrying the water part two. Yeah. All right. Anyway, so this is a book that has been kind of famous in startup circles for whatever reason. In business circles, yeah, because it's about leadership.

But, you know, we recently went through and reread it and thought it would be a good one

that fits in with what we want to talk about on seeking wisdom.

So Bill Walsh was the coach of the San Francisco 49ers.

In his first season, he took over. They went two and 14. Legend. One of the worst teams ever. And then within 24 months, they won the Super Bowl. What's that? The Super Bowl. That's what we're all trying to do out here. That's what I'm trying to do. That's why you listen to Seeking Wisdom. That's what we're trying to do. Let's try to win some Super Bowls together.

Anyway, the big point in his book is he had this thing called the standard of performance, which gets you.

Tell me more.

I know it gets you all hot and bother.

Let's do it, man.

So tell me, what was it?

Why did you like this standard of performance so much? All I got to say is, where are the Bill Walsh is up today?

Yeah.

We need some more of Bill Walsh.

Basically, he just had, like, he had his way of doing things, and he immediately came in and cleaned house.
