Transcript

The lifestyle of an entrepreneur I believe at its core I can take more pain than the other guy. And I'll prove it. Once you take on that lifestyle, I mean it's a real thing. It's not just that I choose to take it on, it is the nature of the thing that I am doing. Then you are taking on a life of adversity and overcoming all the time. And once you are seeing adversity all the time and overcoming it, it just becomes normal. Why is that a downside? Because you almost start accepting it. It just becomes very normal. The downside of it is you can get used to adversity. It just becomes very normal. But wouldn't it be beneficial to be like unruffled like that where There are benefits. But you need to make sure you don't get so used to it that it doesn't even bother you. You can get so zen you're unbothered. Now you still act but there's something special about the extra fierceness of being bothered being upset about something that is wrong.
