Being an entrepreneur sounds cool, but the reality of building a business is very, very difficult.

Every level that you hit, there's a lot of things that suck that you just won't want to do.

What you're capable of is on the other side I don't feel like it.

And if you're committed to what it is that you're trying to do, nothing is going to stop you from getting there.

you guys are going to enjoy it. Here's today's episode. So sometimes people will confuse passion

for aggression. So like, it's even like the greats of the world, like the Kobe Bryant's or the Jordans or whatever, were they really aggressive or were they just passionate about the cause or what they were trying to accomplish.

And in some cases, the lines get blurred a little bit where it does maybe carry over into aggression a little bit because they're passionate.

As you as you're explaining it that way, I'm thinking of Paxton and Jordan.

Only he had to hit him. Exactly. To get the Paxon to.

Or who was it? Was it Paxon or Kerr? It was Kerr. Yeah, it was Kerr. Yeah, it was Kerr where he's pushing him around to practice or wherever and he swung on him or whatever. But what came of that, though? I'm not championships, man. Championships, man. And the championships, results came from it. And Jordan said he had way more respect for Kerr after the fact. Like, he wanted to push him to see if he's willing to push back and fight back when times get tough. Like, somebody's got to be tough to people in practice because the games, nobody's going to take it easy on them the opponent's going to be tough so

right you're you're actually more so in in a mode of preparing your people for battle than than anything

it's like does the army really want to see people in pain or hurt or do they just want to prepare

them properly for what they might
