I'm in my twenties, you write about it, you write about Da Vinci, you write about all these other people, and I have no idea. So I had to go like why wouldn't they know it? Because If you think about your early childhood. You had those moments.

You knew that you would love this you love Kicking a ball, I had I loved sports. But thinking deeply about their experience I came to realise that first of all, they've lost a deep connection to those childhood experiences to those moments they've forgotten about them. Why have they forgotten about them?

All these other voices intervened. Their parents told them what they should love, what they shouldn't love. They had to learn math and they didn't want to learn math. The teachers told them what they were good at, which kind of constrained your brain into a certain career path. We have to cut out all of those voices. We literally had to go back into their childhood to uncover those moments Where something sparked. And they were excited.
