Costner carefully considers things, from his choices in food, to his hiring practices for making movies (making teams). He readily acknowledges that there are people who are better than him at something, but he won't let that stop him from having that person work with him. Rather than be intimidated, he celebrates and utilizes their gifts. The rest is simply him talking about his work ethic, and how life is too short to be concerned about "what you know". I think his message is about recognizing and embracing your limitations, using help when you need it, and living a good life. They could have left the part out about the oil derricks, sailing ships and fighting. It just doesn't fit with the rest of the narrative.

+Sabatheus thanks for the thoughtful comment. We produced this piece in a fashion similar the the iconic What I've Learned profiles in Esquire; the ideas flow from one to the next. They are morsels of wisdom that drive these individuals.

Underrated I like this guy more now

That was all over the place

it's funny how a lot of people didn't like this one because for me Kevin's wisdom resonated a lot with me here.

if you upload it, they will come

What happen to the changing animation? I loved how every animation was different, yet fit the person being interviewed

this channel deserve more audience.

So true! Work hard, and cooperate so as not to be limited in your decisions. Appreciate the important things in life like family, music and reading. And still be humble and understand that you have more to learn.

Thanks Pa Kent.

MrCBroz my interpretation was that he meant we should know our limits and play to all our strengths, instead of being jealous of someone who's better at something you want to be really good at, learn from them. I hope he meant it like that

I hope so too. The classroom environment isn't the best place for avoiding your weaknesses. It's a place to challenge and overcome them, including by learning from peers.

He was talking about in life, and in helping to set the right people up to succeed in situations that affect the whole.

The Blank on Blanks which were actually properly animated move by move, were far better than this style. Shame they changed it.

Food is always a good thing to live by. But yeah some choices can be difficult but sometimes in my life it could be a hell of a choice cuz even though I don't come with a big appetite and sometimes food is always around me even when I'm drunk I can still eat food because food helps with alcohol it like absorbs it you know I'm saying.

I'd love it if you guys delved into the punk rock scene. like interviews with Jello Biafra or Henry Rollins or Allison Wolfe or Iggy Pop or Fat Mike

You have one on Kevin Costner, Johnny Depp and George Clooney but not one video on Woody Allen? There is no justice in this world.

I think the art was just fine, i just like these videos. And for the people complaining, well, do a better version yourself if you don't like this one.

How about a zora Neal Hurston or Don knotts interview?

i could have gone my life without listening to this and would have been completely fine.

what was the point about the armadas? He went to the ding dongs like if there was some relation

we get it you don't like the animation

"Imagine a big sea battle. Wow!" "I like Ding Dongs but I also like milk. What do?" "Some people are smarter than me." Yeah, no kidding.

Noice

one of the worst

I feel this new "it's all about wisdom" intro is pretentious and annoying. On one hand, it's not all wisdom. On another, if someone isn't going to take said wisdom, telling them it's wisdom won't make a difference.
