Mark Evans DM argues that being an entrepreneur (a "deal maker") is a more sustainable and broadly accessible path than pursuing athleticism. He emphasizes entrepreneurship's long-term income and skill growth, contrasts it with the short athletic career span, and notes concerns about who children should look up to as role models.
I don't think as the DM as a brand it's like who doesn't want to be a deal maker to their life? Who doesn't want to be a dream maker to their mother? That's what it's about. And like we have kids now. Who are they watching? I don't want them watching a sports dude. People have a better opportunity to be an entrepreneur than an athlete. Like for real, like there's kids dreaming. I know you can do this without money because that's how we started but being an athlete, that's a whole nother level dedication a level. And I that the best thing about entrepreneurship dude, we make more and get better as we get longer in the game. Athleticism actually decreases in time like quickly. You might have up to 25, 28 years old at a certain age it's really declining. These guys, they're built to retire quick young, which is cool but if they know how to handle the next stage of their life.
