The speaker takes his young son Mark to a track and watches a parent coaching kids through exercises. His son wants to hire a coach, which sparks a lesson: always invest in people better than you to develop the skills you want.
Four and a half years old.
Mark and I went down. He's like, dad, can I go work out with you today? We went to the track and we were like running around the track and he saw this guy, 20 something year old guy with six little kids and their parents out there and they're doing like sit ups and push ups and like little sprints on the track. He's like, dad, I want to hire a coach to help me get better. This is my four and a half year old son, definitely. Let's have that talk. And then we took off on a walk around there and I'm like, buddy, everything in life, never stop hiring people to help you become better. Ever. It will help you, it will drive you, it'll give you direction. Don't think you know all the answers. The only answer you need to know is that you don't know the answers. That's the only answer you need to know in life. Hire people that are better than you in the place you're trying to get better. That's it. Never stop investing ever in yourself. Why would you stop paying or stop investing in yourself for knowledge to become a better person? I don't know about you, but it will never stop on this end. It's never a loss, it's only a gain. And I'm gaining my brain and I hope you do the same thing.
