You don’t have to love Elon Musk to recognize what this headline says about us. A country that spends more time criticizing wealth creation than encouraging it sends a clear message to builders: your success is tolerated, not celebrated. Canada should be the best place in the world to build ambitious companies. Headlines like this make us look like we’re not quite ready for that.

Rocky is one of the greatest movies ever made. And it exists because two people had the audacity to bet on themselves before anyone else would. Stallone was an unknown actor who wrote the script for free and refused to sell it because he believed he was the one who should star in it. Irwin Winkler was the producer who trusted his own instincts when every studio said no. Because his instincts told him this movie needed to exist. I've been talking a lot about audacity lately. This is what it looks like. Two people who refuse to wait for permission. New @bigshotpodcast episode out now.

Rocky. Goodfellas. Raging Bull. Wolf of Wall Street. The Irishman. Creed. Irwin Winkler’s name may not be top billing on the poster. But his fingerprints are all over modern Hollywood. On the new @bigshotpodcast, we sat down with the invisible architect behind visible culture. This one is a masterclass in how chutzpah, relentless adaptability and a little bit of luck built Hollywood as we know it.

I tell stories about entrepreneurs. @Nikbentel tells stories through objects he creates.

Then he turned it into a handbag.
