A bit late, but watched “King Richard” yesterday on Netflix. Will Smith got an Oscar for this.

A biopic of Serena & Venus Williams’ father, who right from the word go, believed his daughters are going to be World champions, even before they were born. Imagine.

Also, Fascinating is the fact that how corporate America, lets go of all inhibitions, pulls out all stops and blockers to catch the next big thing. No egos at play. Cut-throat commerce. Venus refused a 4 million dollar Nike contract, and went with Reebok a year later, for 12 million at the age of 15.

An amazing cocktail of unreal self belief, talent & hard work, nurtured by corporate opportunism.

If you have world beating talent, no better place than the US. The best talent incubator. The place where you can make the fastest 10 million.
