Kevin O'Leary reveals the cruelest sentence of his life was the one that saved it. Kevin O'Leary said he has always wanted to be a photographer. He was already working as a cameraman, ready to bet his life on a lens. His stepfather sat him down and said: "I'm sorry, but you're just not good enough. You don't have what it takes to survive against the level of quality that's out there." Kevin calls it the harshest sentence anyone ever delivered to him. He also calls it the most important one. He went back to school. Got a business degree. Started a production company called Special Event Television out of spite — but he didn't put himself behind the camera. He hired a real cameraman. He learned to edit. He sold the company. That was his first deal. The thing he took from that day became his operating system: knowing what you're bad at matters more than knowing what you're good at. Logistics bore him, so he gives up equity to anyone who can do it. He stays in marketing because that's the only seat where he compounds. Then he stopped pretending. The cruelest sentence of his life was the one that saved it. P.S. Pull the thread on any story like this and you'll find the hidden incentive at the other end. As Munger said: "Show me the incentive and I'll show you the outcome." So I wrote a short book on how to spot them and design your own. Comment "INCENTIVES" and I'll send you the details.

“For a long time, I was a guest in our house” Thierry Henry speaks from his soul. He has depth. He’s a man in touch with himself. I recall some years ago, he spoke about how much he wanted to please his father on Steven Bartlett Diary of a CEO podcast. Everything he aimed to achieve was to please the voice that rang in his head, telling him to do it better. His father stood behind him while he built a career, probably saw the good many never saw. As a father, he also mentioned how COVID-19 changed his life. It was the point he chose his family. That was probably why he said at some point, he became a guest in his house. Men become guests in their house. There was a Reminisce Alaga interview I saw. I think it was on ISaidWhatISaidPod. He said there was a point he went into his daughter(s) room and asked when they painted the wall pink. His wife told him it’s been there for two years. He said that was the point he thought it important to rest on the tours and be with his children. At that point, he probably was a guest in his house. Men’s lives are not easy. Footballers especially — elite footballers most especially are like tour musicians. They’re often on the road. You’re playing away games round the country, spending three days or more away from home when you have continental away games. Gabriel Jesus spoke about the same thing in his recent interview with The Players’ Tribune titled “A Letter to My Family and my Arsenal Family”. He said football made him distant but his ACL injury brought him closer. “I wasn’t the husband and father that I needed to be,” he said. When his wife gave birth to his daughter, he said he only held her for one day. Brazil called and he had to go. And he was a guy who grew up without a father. For his child at the time, he was there now but wasn’t there too. “I always promised myself: When I become a father, I will always be there for my kids. “When Helena was born, I was not living up to that. I was there, but I was always distracted, you know? Always catching a flight.” That’s the tough decisions men have to make sometimes. At the point of growth and ascent, life will ask questions, and difficult decisions will need to be made. Hopefully, it will be one that won’t damage the future. The future one is securing.
