A short YouTube monologue (Kardec Trader, uploaded Feb 4, 2024) reflecting that the speaker values the journey—effort, planning, dedication, and the challenges of building organizations—more than material trophies like yachts or cars. The speaker admires the processes and skills needed to build teams and scale businesses rather than the end possessions.
Even if I had the money to spend 200 million on a yacht, I wouldn't want to get one. But I would like to be in a position to be able to buy it. And when I see things like that, it's not, oh, man, that's a yacht. That's so cool. It's more so, like, the effort and the planning and the dedication and everything required to get there is, like, the cool part. That's like, the amazing part. So when I see people achieve this massive level of success or build this cool software company or whatever the case is, I'm like, wow, that's cool of how you were able to build a team of a thousand people and get to that level. It's not the cars and stuff that really inspire me more for, like, what did this guy do to build that great company or build that great thing? Because building at a high level is very, very difficult because now you have to deal with people culture, different competitors, different stuff at such a granular scale. And that's the game where it's like, okay, that's fun.
