This clip from Mr. Deeds really made me think.
Yes, it’s a comedy — but there’s a pretty powerful point underneath it.
Deeds asks a man what he wanted to be when he grew up.
A veterinarian.
Why?
Because he wanted to help sick animals.
What does he do now?
He owns a chain of slaughterhouses. 😂
It’s funny — but think about what he said.
When we were kids and dreamed about what we wanted to become, money was the last thing we thought about.
We wanted to help people.
We had a passion for something.
We wanted to create something.
We wanted to make a difference.
Then we grew up. Life happened. We compromised. And somewhere along the way, how much we could earn sometimes became more important than why we wanted to do it in the first place.
Maybe there’s a marketing lesson in there too.
In 2026, authenticity matters.
Stock images have their place. But on social media, show us the real people. The real business. The real story. And please… enough with the endless AI-generated images pretending to be something they’re not.
People connect with people, stories and passion.
You can tell when somebody genuinely cares about what they do.
