0:00So this episode is going to be a little different.
0:01It's not on a book, but it's on this excellent long form profile of Mark Zuckerberg that my friend Jeremy Stern wrote.
0:07The name of the profile, the title of the profile is called Mark, and the subtitle is A Journey to the Heart of History's Largest Non-Territorial Empire.
0:16And the piece opens with Jeremy interviewing Mark Zuckerberg's parents.
0:20And he says, there they are, the Zuckerbergs.
0:23They look you in the eye and they don't break contact.
0:25His dad is a ham.
0:27His mother is shy.
0:28I don't know what I expected them to be like, but for whatever reason, this wasn't it.
0:32So they talk about what Mark was like as a child.
0:35His dad says, he didn't stand out as the bright one in the family.
0:38If anyone, I would guess our middle daughter, Donna, was considered the nerd or the smart one in the family.
0:44His dad continues, we just had four really bright, successful kids.
0:47We're equally proud of all of them.
0:49Mark just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
0:52It was a perfect confluence of his passion.
0:54And then his mom hits on something that you and I talk about over and over again.
0:57You see this in these biographies that you and I talk about.
