Ideas are like oil in your backyard: they gain value over time and attract offers, but extracting that value demands equipment, funding, patience, and emotional resilience. Turning an idea into profit requires years of strategic investment and perseverance before you see real returns.
and how many offers you would get for something if you found something like oil in your backyard, right? And how the value of that only gets better with time. And I think a lot about IP in the same way, and I think the same way about ideas. Like, they are kind of your oil in your backyard. Now, how— Yes, they are. —you sell and how, you know, how you nurture it and how you— but what you learn in the movie is that it's hard to drill for oil. It ain't easy. You just don't scoop up some dirt and discover oil. Like, nah, you gotta like toil the ground. You need equipment, you need money, you need patience, you need heartbreak, you need all of these things before you get to that big burst.
