Shifting to the second question, Mel draws inspiration from Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. This question revolves around the concept of projecting oneself into the future. The question to consider is: “When I look back on this moment at the age of 80, will I regret not doing this?”

He recognized that the only regret he might carry would be the potential of never having tried.
