About this episode

It’s very rare that someone comes to me with an idea or a project and I really think it’s going to work.

Sometimes, I’ll respond to a 27 or 28-year-old kid and tell them it’s going to “work” if they stick with it for 7 or 8 years, and they’re disappointed — because they think “34” is old.

I address it in this podcast - really hope this breaks through to a few of you.
