Episode notes
Emulating heroes can lead to following a path that may not be right for you. It is important to recognize the qualities in heroes that resonate with you, but trying to replicate their entire life may not work for you. Understanding the right path for yourself is crucial, as evidenced by the speaker's experience of trying to run a software company like a media business. The lesson learned is that in different types of businesses, such as media and software, the role of a CEO varies, with the CEO focusing on what they are best at. It's important to not force oneself to fit into a predefined mold, as illustrated by the Greek fable of Procrustes, where people tried to conform themselves to a bed rather than adapting the bed to themselves.
