Dr. Z on today's show, we're talking about a subject that I'm pretty fired up to discuss my friend. Uh-oh.

It is the entrepreneurial success paradox. Oh, there we go. Good. It's like how do you manage the best of times and the worst of times?

Oh, I love it. At the same time. How that's impossible. Give me something really great going on in your life right now. What's something great?

It's a business. I'll tell you what. The auto auctions rocking it, man. We actually added it down. It's even better.

Uh, the eye clinic is just rolling, maybe rolling. Give me one more big win. Come on. Give me something else.

I got a big horse running this Friday and I'm excited about it. Give me another big win. Give me another big win.

My kids are all employed and doing well. Give me one more big win. I don't know.

Well, they're also going to talk about all the big losses simultaneously in today's edition of the Thrive Time Show.

Some shows don't need a celebrity narrator to introduce the show, but this show dies. Two men.

Eight kids co-created by two different women. 13 multi-million dollar businesses. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Thrive Time Show.

Two, one.

Yes, yes, yes. And yes, Dr. Z. It's always ecstasy when you are next to me. And on today's show, I could not be more fired up about today's subject.

You know, I love it. I love the intro because right there at the very end, you hear a lightsaber.

I think better than a lightsaber. It lights up the darkness. It's cuts through the crap.

I mean, what we're going to do on today's shows. We're going to talk about the best of times and the worst of times.

Can we just talk about the best? No, no, no, just the best. No, because people listen to this show. This is what I hear a lot.

People, I meet them at conferences and they go, man, someday, I would love to be where you're at.

And I say this, and I said this to your son, Paul. I said, uh, shadow me.

And I told your son, I said, shadow me. And your son was taking notes and he was loving the whole experience.

But usually when an entrepreneur shadows me, not getting, they'll say around noon on Monday, they go, I don't want your life.

I don't know. I know. Tap out. Tap out.

Because I think people think that success is all about cheering.
