Chapter four was about how precious time is, and how Randy felt it was best implemented. In his mind, time was like money, and should not be squandered on things that were less than worthwhile don't waste time on telephone recordings, and plans are a good thing. They can always be changed if need be; provided you have one. Delegation is also important. Know how and when to share the work. Time is saved by all in this manner.
Randy felt that the best way to spend time was to enable the dreams of others. His crowning acheivments, in his mind, were the dreams he enabled. Tommy Burnett got to work on the last three Star Wars movies, hundreds of students have benefited from the courses and programs he helped to develop. He brought an entire college together with a single class (BVW) and his Entertainment Technology Center has gone world wide. The really cool thing to me is that Travis has worked with another of his programs, Alice, and was surprised when he discovered I was learning about one of the people who helped develop it.
While short, this chapter was interesting. It showed the large-scale impact that one person can have on the world, and that maybe we aren't as small as we thought.
