[1636.02 --> 1638.80] I'm pretty sure they don't even write each other Christmas cards.
[1638.90 --> 1640.96] In fact, I don't think the relationship is very good.
[1640.96 --> 1643.24] But then he has to pay money to the other guy.
[1643.36 --> 1644.38] I don't think it's ongoing.
[1644.56 --> 1645.62] I think he bought it.
[1645.64 --> 1646.28] Bought a license.
[1646.30 --> 1648.24] Bought the license, like, outright.
[1648.42 --> 1652.26] Bought the rights to the name so they would carve up the territory that way.
[1652.74 --> 1656.78] And what he said was that was one of the biggest mistakes he ever made.
[1657.52 --> 1658.84] Because why?
[1659.68 --> 1663.82] No one in Western Canada had heard of Student Works Painting.
[1664.52 --> 1667.94] He might as well have called it Ass Works Painting.
[1668.42 --> 1669.62] I mean, probably not that.
[1669.62 --> 1674.62] But the point is, he could have called it Pro Student Painting.
[1675.14 --> 1677.02] Or Student Summer Painting.
[1677.20 --> 1677.74] Or whatever.
[1677.86 --> 1678.60] It doesn't matter.
[1679.06 --> 1680.72] Wouldn't have had to pay a licensing fee.
[1681.04 --> 1682.56] The idea is just as good.
[1682.68 --> 1687.70] And it ultimately came down to him to hustle and build the brand anyway.
[1687.94 --> 1689.32] Regardless of that name.
[1689.32 --> 1698.52] And in much the same way that nobody should license the idea of making reaction videos from the Fine Brothers,
[1698.88 --> 1702.84] nobody should license the idea of the WAN show from us.
[1702.84 --> 1709.12] So I'm not saying that, like, you're stupid for wanting to have a French tech podcast.
[1709.48 --> 1710.36] Great idea.
[1710.76 --> 1716.48] I'm saying that what's a bad idea is trying to clone what we're doing.
[1716.48 --> 1719.48] Because you should be out there trying to do your thing.
[1720.30 --> 1723.94] Finding what someone else is doing and copying it is not successful.
[1723.94 --> 1725.62] In fact, well, it could be.
[1725.92 --> 1729.14] But, I mean, it won't necessarily lead to success.
[1729.52 --> 1734.96] In fact, it is my personal belief that one of the things that works about Linus Media Group
[1734.96 --> 1741.30] is the fact that when we try to copy something, it's often without having ever watched the original.
[1741.30 --> 1746.98] Where we just take the idea and then it's really mostly our own ideas.
[1747.34 --> 1752.04] Like, I think, you know, and this is sort of, this is me kind of going off on even more of a tangent.
[1752.70 --> 1756.42] One of the things that I think is really cool about the way that we make videos
[1756.42 --> 1760.18] is that I don't have any formal video production training at all.
[1760.66 --> 1763.62] Everything that we've done has been through trial and error.
[1764.00 --> 1766.30] And I think that you see, okay, not everything.
[1766.76 --> 1769.70] We have people here who are, anyway, to wrap it up.
[1769.70 --> 1771.60] My ideas are usually trial and error.
[1771.66 --> 1772.34] Why don't we say it that way?
[1772.36 --> 1775.28] To wrap it up, you should be doing your own thing.
[1775.50 --> 1778.40] Don't, you know, try to follow in the footsteps of somebody else.
[1778.66 --> 1781.78] Of course, you should take influence from others who inspire you
[1781.78 --> 1784.68] and who make you want to create and do what you do.
[1784.76 --> 1786.04] Be inspired. Don't license.
[1786.36 --> 1788.18] Yes. Be inspired. Don't license.
[1788.76 --> 1792.56] And just grind hard and you'll make it happen.
[1792.70 --> 1798.52] So this is what, like, a just work hard and bust your butt growth curve looks like.
[1798.52 --> 1800.64] You might not ever, this is CES.
[1800.82 --> 1801.42] That, like, doesn't count.
[1801.42 --> 1801.94] That doesn't count.
[1802.00 --> 1803.62] So is this and so is, oh, no, wait.
[1803.72 --> 1804.88] No, this is Computex.
[1805.14 --> 1807.06] So so is this, so is this.
[1807.14 --> 1807.80] These spikes.
[1807.92 --> 1809.30] These are CES spikes.
[1809.82 --> 1813.26] So what you're really looking at here is just slow and steady wins the race.
[1814.32 --> 1815.36] Have new ideas.
[1815.54 --> 1816.48] Try new things.
[1816.72 --> 1817.32] Iterate on them.
[1817.38 --> 1817.80] See what works.
[1817.88 --> 1818.44] See what doesn't.
[1818.54 --> 1819.10] Keep what works.
[1819.20 --> 1819.98] Throw away what doesn't.
[1820.04 --> 1820.74] By the way, you're fired.
[1821.30 --> 1821.62] All right.
[1822.46 --> 1822.78] Later.
[1823.06 --> 1825.42] I didn't realize this was a motivational speaking podcast.
[1825.62 --> 1826.72] I thought this was about technology.
[1826.72 --> 1828.64] Well, that's the thing.
[1828.74 --> 1830.78] The WAN show is about whatever the WAN show is about.
[1831.10 --> 1833.50] And that's part of what makes the WAN show special as well.
[1833.62 --> 1834.26] Am I actually fired?
[1834.34 --> 1837.48] Like, I would love to go play Breath of the Wild next week instead of coming to work.
[1838.36 --> 1839.58] No, you're not fired.
[1839.82 --> 1840.82] You had your time off.
[1841.14 --> 1842.20] You spent it at Disneyland.
[1842.46 --> 1844.14] You could have been playing Breath of the Wild.
[1844.28 --> 1845.34] That is not my problem.
[1845.48 --> 1845.72] That's true.
[1846.52 --> 1846.92] That's true.
[1847.30 --> 1848.60] Have you played much Breath of the Wild?
[1848.78 --> 1849.16] How is it?
[1849.50 --> 1850.36] It's excellent.
[1850.80 --> 1853.06] It's, like, my favorite game in years, literally.
[1853.68 --> 1855.30] So, I'm down.
[1855.94 --> 1856.76] Yeah, it's excellent.
[1856.92 --> 1861.16] It's, like, probably one of the best open world games I've ever played, like, hands down.
[1861.46 --> 1865.80] So, like, climbing a mountain in that game is fun.
[1866.48 --> 1866.84] Really?
[1868.36 --> 1868.76] Okay.
[1868.84 --> 1869.32] To me, at least.
[1869.48 --> 1873.32] Like, there's, like, challenge in exploring the scenery.
[1874.02 --> 1874.42] Cool.
[1874.76 --> 1877.40] Which is, like, something that I haven't experienced in a game before.
[1877.64 --> 1878.90] And, of course, there are problems with it.
[1878.92 --> 1880.68] And some of it gets repetitive and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
[1880.68 --> 1884.12] But it is the most fun I've had in a video game in years.
[1884.60 --> 1885.32] So, that's...
