Great Business People as Content Producers
"I remember thinking why the hell does this guy need to do this paid newsletter. But then like Warren Buffett, his annual letters were basically newsletters. I mean, he wrote them as such. And then like, I remember reading about like Ben Franklin, Ben Franklin had a newspaper and he actually wrote constantly about this. I'm reading about George Washington. George Washington constantly wrote editorials or Bill Ackman does this, you know, where he's like, he's Twitter now. But before that, he has some other things. And I remember thinking like, no, actually like some of these greats who are great business people also are content producers. You know, maybe they're not, that's not their income source, but they, they really are like wonderful content people. You know what I'm talking about? I like how you just used content producer. Content producer is nice. That's better than content creator, which is better than influencer. Actually, I think that's all that we need guys is like, you just laid out. You're like, do I want to be a content creator, like an influencer or a businessman? And I think we actually just need to be content man. Like, I think we need to like, we just need to level up the phrase so that we don't sound like little bitches when we, like, oh, I'm a, I'm a content creator who tweets all day. It's like, no, no, no, you're a businessman. I'm a content man. We're just a couple, a couple of men, a couple of producers. Well, I remember one time we had this guest on and Sean asked this particular guest, this particular guest created courses and Sean said something where Sean goes, you know, I create courses too. And sometimes I feel like a fraud because if I'm so good at this, instead of teaching it, I should just go and do it. And I thought that was a really good question. And this question really offended this person, but Sean, you didn't mean it to offend this person. And so I wasn't, I didn't think that they should have been upset, but I also had that same, like, I'm like, well, that's, am I a fraud? But then you start thinking about it. You know, Warren Buffett actually taught a Dale Carnegie course. He actually also taught a finance course, I forget at which university. But it's actually common that some of these people are teaching, are creating. And that has kind of helped me like feel like less, you know, like less and bear sometimes about what I do. I think that you can go through tons of entrepreneurs. You can go through tons of, you know, kind of financial managers. This is very, very common. And there's a question of if you can't teach it, do you actually understand it?"
