Speaker 1: I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's
Speaker 1: Up Sides Team, You're listening to the Daily Game, the
Speaker 1: compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that
Speaker 1: I've found inspiring and helped me through the game of life. Today,
Speaker 1: I'm going to drop some knowledge from Apple co founder
Speaker 1: Steve Jobs. Innovation distinguishes between leader and follower. An innovator
Speaker 1: is the person that's going to think up the new things.
Speaker 1: They're going to be the ones that are going to
Speaker 1: be coming with new ideas. The follower is going to
Speaker 1: wait on the idea, then they're going to implement and
Speaker 1: build out on that idea. But the leader is the
Speaker 1: creative one. They're the one that's always thinking of different ways,
Speaker 1: different ideas. And I know that as far as in
Speaker 1: my business. You know, becoming a leader, you know unwillingly,
Speaker 1: you know, you're just picked. Everybody looks at you like,
Speaker 1: so what are we going to do next? That's your job.
Speaker 1: I mean, even if you have a group of friends,
Speaker 1: there's always one that's like, Okay, I've got the idea
Speaker 1: for the night. I know what we're going to do,
Speaker 1: how we're going to do this? And if something goes wrong,
Speaker 1: everyone looks at them. Now, some people try to implement
Speaker 1: themselves as leaders and they're not leaders. You know, They're like,
Speaker 1: I'm in charge, and they are usually fuck ups. You know.
Speaker 1: Usually a leader is voted by the group. It's like
Speaker 1: you're the best at You've been chosen, and we're willing
Speaker 1: to follow your lead. But what jobs is saying that
Speaker 1: the innovator will have to be the leader, the one
Speaker 1: that's going to come up with the new ideas. So
Speaker 1: now you have to ask yourself, are you an innovator?
Speaker 1: Are you a leader? Or are you a follower? Now
Speaker 1: I know how to play both positions. There's power in
Speaker 1: both positions. There's power and riding shotgun a person that
Speaker 1: always has to be the leader. You know. They say
Speaker 1: that some people will sink the ship just because they
Speaker 1: can't steer it, you know. So you have to understand
Speaker 1: what position you're in. So say, for instance, when I
Speaker 1: do my music, I'm the leader. I'm in charge of
Speaker 1: body count. I'm the guy that's making the set lists.
Speaker 1: I'm making all the calls out there on the road.
Speaker 1: When I do law and order, I'm the follower. I
Speaker 1: show up, they tell me where I what I should say,
Speaker 1: what I where, what I do. And I actually enjoy
Speaker 1: being a follower because, like I say, acting is the
Speaker 1: one job where it's someone else's job to tell you
Speaker 1: what to do. So I can just walk in there
Speaker 1: and be like, so, what's up for today? They go
Speaker 1: where this stand here, here's some tape on the ground,
Speaker 1: stand here, And I enjoy that because I don't have
Speaker 1: to use my leadership ability. I can just relax. I
Speaker 1: can just be an employee, so to speak. They say,
Speaker 1: the head that where's the crown sleeps the heaviest, and
Speaker 1: it's true. So a lot of people out there is like,
Speaker 1: I want to be in charge. I want to run
Speaker 1: my own business. I want to do that may not
Speaker 1: be the smartest thing in the world. You know, having
Speaker 1: a great leader and being able to work under them
Speaker 1: can be the best occupation in the world if you
Speaker 1: have correct leadership and you understand your job is important.
Speaker 1: So get away from that. I have friends that are like, well,
Speaker 1: if I'm not the boss, I don't want to be.
Speaker 1: I gotta be the boss. I gotta be you know,
Speaker 1: fuck that, I just need to get paid. I don't
Speaker 1: I don't have to fucking be the boss. Dick Wolf
Speaker 1: is my boss, and I've lived a great life. I'm boss.
Speaker 1: I'm the boss in other aspects of my life, but
Speaker 1: it's not essential. So Apple co founder Steve Job says,
Speaker 1: innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower. I get it.
Speaker 1: The innovator must be the leader. The follower has to
Speaker 1: carry out the job. But I'm here to say there's
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with being a follower if you have good leader.
Speaker 1: This has been another ice cold fact from me. Iced team.
Speaker 1: Listening again tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your
Speaker 1: ass till then, stay safe, stay smart, and stay knowing
Speaker 1: that innovation can be one of the predictors of greatness.
