Love this speech by Bill Gurley - one of the common things across top professionals like Bob Dylan, Danny Meyer, etc was that they studied everything they could find about their field, they were masterful students first.

Gotta give credit to NYC Mayor Eric Adams for this phenomenal speech on Israel. It’s a few minutes that everyone should watch.
