I'll need to check out their podcast sometime. The key statement in the essay I think surrounds "we’ll suffer the occasional disappointments to find the next ..." Opinions can differ about what is successful and what is a disappointment but it is aways good to on alert.

This was an excellent article and a wonderful podcast. Any of my followers who are also avid readers and/or lover of movies should read this article and most importantly follow this great podcast.
