Man is a success. If he gets up in the morning, get to bed at night, and in between does what he wants to do. Our definition of success in terms of what we're taught through popular culture, if you grew up, I grew up in the 1980s. And you know, you were supposed to get rich. And if you got rich, then beautiful woman would love you. And then she'd have 2.3 of your children.

And she would have a station wagon and after your midlife crisis, you buy a Jaguar or Porsche or something. And there was these formulas that were kind of prescriptive. And my friends from college who follow these prescriptions, kind of all ended up miserable that like that prescription that capitalist model of this is what success is. This is what you do you buy a house that's the American dream to be $220,000 in debt, and to have to work 70 hours a week so that you could pay your monthly not, you know, to have this thing and the whatever those things. So the Dylan quote is beautiful because, you know, if you have freedom, like that is a great measure of success if you can do what you want to do while you're awake, as opposed to being a slave to or, you know, being a hamster on a wheel trying to make that monthly, nut up mortgage, health insurance, gas or electricity or credit cards, student loans, you know, so really, Millennials today are starting to understand that on your deathbed, you will remember experiences and not possessions.

You'll remember walking through the streets of Paris, but you won't remember the handbag you were carrying, right? So they're going out and they really want to have experiences and to me That is, you know, a better measure of success than saying, Oh, I own three houses and four cars and I own this. I own that and I own that. You can't think that should with you, you know, but like, growing and learning and having loving relationships and wonderful just moments of life like that success
