I'm not trying to take you to task, I think this is a vitally important puzzle to solve for the future of the left. But I think a lot of people grow up surrounded by coaches, mentors, etc. but still don't choose or consider that path.

My take from talking to parents of kids about to leave for college, is that the kids today en masse are focussed on money as a means to success/status that is beyond what past generations experienced. There have always been people who felt this way, but now its an ethos.
That's the spell that needs to be broken. We need to effectively paint people who bark endlessly about hustle, financial success, about winning as clowns.
I am a college prof. I see that some. Though at community college a lot are simply trying to get opportunities that others in their family haven’t had.
But there is a subset that is all about the status aspects.

But the more people offering it the better. They may miss once and take it another.
But it is a good reminder to accept that people have their own agency and do make their own choices.
