“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.

ICYMI: Brad Jacobs, the founder of eight billion-dollar companies, makes an unexpected acknowledgment worth nearly $1 billion in his new book.. “I love David. I raised $750 million out of his David Senra audience, & I didn’t even have to pay him a fee,” & he laughed. He like slapped his knee & laughed." TLDR: The value of high-trust, high-signal media can quietly move hundreds of millions in capital. Credibility compounds over time. Read: How to Make a Few More Billion Dollars, Brad Jacobs David Senra, of David Senra & David Senra . . . I’m reading the book, not knowing this is about to happen, and he goes: “And then I found a different source of capital, which was two of the top 20 shareholders in the new company, came because David Senra profiled me on his Founders podcast.” And I’m like, “What? Oh my gosh.” So he had told me that in private, but then John, our mutual friend John Coogan (John Coogan), said "that was the best podcast endorsement of all time." So when I went to record with him in his house in Greenwich, we traveled with like a five-camera setup. It was like, we have an army that comes with us. And these aren’t business guys; these are just camera guys and podcast guys. And he goes, “I love David. I raised $750 million out of his audience, and I didn’t even have to pay him a fee,” and he laughed. He like slapped his knee and laughed. And I don’t know anything about investment banking, so I call a friend of mine. He’s like, “Oh yeah, that saved him quite a bit of money.” And so that’s what he’s talking about. It’s like, two people didn’t know who he was. They heard my episode on his first book. One put in $400 million. One put in $350 million and then joined his board. And they told Brad how they learned about him, and so then he put it in the book."
