You're sitting on their couch, you're looking at their table, you're looking at their picture. That was somebody's idea. Why not you? Why can't you be the one that comes up with that next great idea? I'm so excited about our guest today. A guest that needs no introduction, Mr. Mark Cuban. Mark, how are you? If you had to give advice to someone who was kind of stuck in a rut, how would one move towards greatness? Everybody's got something inside of them that's great. The hard part is finding it, you know, and we. We get things we're passionate about, but often the things we're passionate about are not the things we can be great at. And so you have to try different things. When I've been in that position and when others that I talk to have been in that position, I just tell them to be great at your job. When you're great at something, it always feels good to be great. And nobody quits things that they're great at. The reality of life is you can't just always quit your job. You can't just always, you know, go in and say, give me the raise or give me the promot, or I'm out of here. I quit. And so when you're stuck, you know, you've got to find it within yourself to say, okay, this is where I am, and if I'm going to be here, I'm going to be great. So, you know, try as many things as you can when you're young or younger or, you know, have the opportunity to not stuck for financial reasons or other reasons, try to find the thing you can be great at. And if you can't find that thing, be great at it. And if you don't know what that is and you're at a job and you can't leave, then be great where you're at. If you're trying to find motivation. What I tell my kids and entrepreneurs is if you look at everything around you that's not organic, not trees, not bushes, but everything else. Look at what's your table, your chair, your couch, everything, that was somebody's idea. One day it didn't exist the next day someone had an idea, and then they turned it into a business. And now you're sitting on their couch and you're looking at their table, you're looking at their picture. Ask yourself, all these amazing adventures came from somewhere. Why not you? Why can't you be the one that comes up with that next great idea? Doesn't have to be Earth shattering. It just has to be something that you love, you're proud of, and you can show to the world. Why not you, Sam?
