The Meta CEO revealed that he had to gently shut down his daughter August, when she expressed a desire to grow up and be like Taylor Swift

Zuckerberg showed up for a live interview on the “Acquired” podcast in San Francisco last week, the video of which was shared publicly on Tuesday. The conversation covered many topics, but one of the big ones was Zuckerberg’s thoughts on social interaction as a kind of Platonic ideal.

He was asked by the hosts what advice would he give to new entrepreneurs and founders trying to make their own mark in the industry. Funnily enough, this kind of tied into a lesson he tried to teach his daughter when she said she wanted to be like music pop-star, Taylor Swift.

Mark Zuckerberg encouraged his daughter to be herself, not Taylor Swift. A therapist said it's a great lesson for parents.
