Transcript
Someone online said some of y'all are taking for granted that your friends are literally legends in the making. I sat there for a second. I said, holy shit. He's right. Some of you guys don't know that your friends are actually worth making movies about. My friend the other day, you probably will hate me for saying this, but raised millions of dollars for his company that I've seen him working on and grinding on from his parents basement. That's a fucking legend in the making right there. He may go on to sell that company one day for hundreds of millions of dollars, maybe even billions. Because he's my friend, I'm just like, oh, I'm so proud of you, bro. So cool. Bro, that's my friend. He's a fucking legend. Some of us take for granted that our closest people are legends in the making. They may have a shitty tier. They may have started from nothing. Better think about it. They're actually legends in the making. People are gonna talk about this person for a very long time after they're dead. Support your friends, man. They're building legacies right now.
