• 2:47
  Speaker 4: I went to Florida my freshman year, and then I

• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Street beach.
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: I've never been to a new beach in Miami. I
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: didn't even know their word. New beach there are that
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: is great?
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: And I went to it and.
• 3:07
  Speaker 7: I was like, I like it. I would go back.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: I like it. I like it, I do I like it.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: It was it was interesting, it was chill though it
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: wasn't like a bunch of music. It was just yeah,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: and we took the most epic nap anyways, So essin.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Give us three words, how would you describe being born.
• 3:30
  Speaker 10: To the game.
• 3:32
  Speaker 9: What comes to mind is a couple, one of a kind.
• 3:36
  Speaker 9: It's not the words as for but that's two of
• 3:39
  Speaker 9: them together would be all right. And then a gift
• 3:45
  Speaker 9: and a curse, so to speak. So you know, you
• 3:49
  Speaker 9: know what comes with obviously, you know you what comes
• 3:53
  Speaker 9: with having a father or a parental figure that is
• 3:58
  Speaker 9: it's famous or everyone knows about. And yeah, it obviously
• 4:02
  Speaker 9: has an impact on your relationships with other people as well,
• 4:06
  Speaker 9: and then the perception of others on the outside looking
• 4:09
  Speaker 9: at you and kind of painting their own picture of
• 4:12
  Speaker 9: what it is that you do, what you can do,
• 4:15
  Speaker 9: what your life is like when ye should be like, yep,
• 4:18
  Speaker 9: it it's you can have an impact on you. But
• 4:21
  Speaker 9: fortunately for us, I know, say, I was young when
• 4:23
  Speaker 9: I had to go through it, so I was oblivious
• 4:26
  Speaker 9: to most of it, but looking back on it, I
• 4:27
  Speaker 9: could see how some areas uh impacted me and yeah,
• 4:32
  Speaker 9: changed up some stuff. So that's what I would say.
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: You know, what was your gifts?
• 4:37
  Speaker 9: Uh being able to travel, being able to have unique experiences,
• 4:40
  Speaker 9: being able to pretty much meet going a room and
• 4:43
  Speaker 9: people would know you by association, being able to meet
• 4:45
  Speaker 9: new people, that type of deal, but obviously being able
• 4:49
  Speaker 9: to just you know, like I said, experiences, you know,
• 4:53
  Speaker 9: it's it's it's nothing normal. Every time you go out,
• 4:56
  Speaker 9: you're meeting people, knew, you're getting to do something fun.
• 5:00
  Speaker 9: Like you feel like it's just this is normal. The
• 5:02
  Speaker 9: purss that you get, So that's definitely the gift and
• 5:06
  Speaker 9: then the curses. You know, like I said earlier, like
• 5:09
  Speaker 9: you have no idea the kind of lifestyle that you're
• 5:12
  Speaker 9: going to be in until you actually live it. People
• 5:18
  Speaker 9: are looking at you and saying things and coming up
• 5:22
  Speaker 9: and going up trying to play basketball and that, you know,
• 5:24
  Speaker 9: trying to follow the steps. So being an athlete, it's
• 5:28
  Speaker 9: it's it's it's tough because you try to live up
• 5:31
  Speaker 9: to what you know your father or your parents did
• 5:35
  Speaker 9: type of deal.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: And we're going to get into that because I think
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: your journey and your story of following your dad's footsteps
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: is a great story to share with with viewers and
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: very inspiring.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: So we are going to get to that.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: But I do know both of you guys traveled and
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: moved a lot with your dads, right, Can you guys
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: share with us how that experience was each time you moved.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: Was it hard when you had to leave friends that
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: you established?
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Was it fun? Was it exciting?
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: Like did you adjust well? Like how was that experience
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: packing up and moving every so often?
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Tony? We can start with you.
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it was not the most fun thing in the world.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: It was definitely a little bit difficult. How many times
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: did you move? Ooh, She's like too many?
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: Okay, maybe like six or sun.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like six or seven Okay.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: But it's like, I mean to be honest, One, I
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: did it once and I was like.
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a little different. Like he'd go and play
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: whatever team he was at, and then it's like we
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: had our home in Maryland, that's kind of where I
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: grew up most of the time. And then it's like
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: he'd go for a season, we'd go with him, and
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: then we'd come back.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Yep, and I do that and go back.
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: And then he's like different team when we do that,
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: and it was it was not great, Like it was
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: annoying having to leave friends that you made because for me,
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: it was like you move every two or three yes,
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: so it's like, oh, I just got here, I just
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: made friends.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: I just got adjusted.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: And they're like, Okay, daddy got traded, he got traded,
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: he's in a new coaching job.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we have to go. We were like great, So where.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Like where do you call home if you move that much?
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Like what city do you feel the most at home?
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: I would just say here because that's where we all
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: are now. So but usually when people ask me where
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: I'm from, I pick and I choose.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: It depends on who I talk to from Atlanta too.
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but yeah, but it definitely I would definitely say it.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: Like I was able to adapt better.
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: In like life situations and like any situation period because
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: like you're moving that often and you're like the new
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: kid at school.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: All the time, like you learn how to us yeah fast. Yeah,
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: So I'm grateful for that part.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: No, I don't have a lot of childhood friends and
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: that's yeah.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: That's a part of that.
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah, part of this.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: It is what it is. Yeah, there are other good
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: things that came with it.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: You learned how to adapt, you became resilient with change.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: So that's something you carry with you for the rest
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: of your life.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: What about you justin.
• 8:28
  Speaker 9: Like I said, when I was young, it really didn't
• 8:30
  Speaker 9: have much of an impact. It was like, Okay, Dad's
• 8:33
  Speaker 9: going to a different city, so it's time to pack
• 8:35
  Speaker 9: up and go. As far as like, you know, like relationships,
• 8:40
  Speaker 9: it wasn't that difficult to make friends as far as
• 8:43
  Speaker 9: you know, you know, you get your new kid coming
• 8:45
  Speaker 9: in and they know, they find out who your dad
• 8:48
  Speaker 9: is and it's like, oh, hey, let's be friends with them.
• 8:50
  Speaker 9: So it's like it's not like it was difficult in
• 8:52
  Speaker 9: that aspect.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: You're the cool kid always on the you know what six.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: Noys, Yeah, everybody, So that was cool.
• 9:09
  Speaker 9: But we made home in Phoenix. Obviously, that's a that's
• 9:12
  Speaker 9: where we stayed. Let's go figure that's the year that
• 9:16
  Speaker 9: that's the team that he made is a six man
• 9:18
  Speaker 9: the year. We always had our house there. When we
• 9:21
  Speaker 9: left the cities that we were in, we always come
• 9:23
  Speaker 9: back to Phoenix and I would do my elementary, middle school,
• 9:27
  Speaker 9: eventually high school and all that there. So Phoenix is home.
• 9:32
  Speaker 9: We we went all over the place. I think you
• 9:34
  Speaker 9: said five teams, I was what seven eight? We did
• 9:38
  Speaker 9: a year in Greece, went oversee which he wishes that
• 9:43
  Speaker 9: we would have just stayed there for a little bit longer.
• 9:45
  Speaker 9: What we did Greece has been cool.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: Went to Greece.
• 9:51
  Speaker 9: Oh what were you? I think we were like, uh,
• 9:55
  Speaker 9: maybe maybe I'm guessing so maybe like eleven twelve too
• 10:01
  Speaker 9: young to really understand like what was going on because
• 10:04
  Speaker 9: everyone didn't speak on We couldn't I couldn't communicate with
• 10:07
  Speaker 9: them like we wanted to. But schools are nice and
• 10:10
  Speaker 9: places were clean. There was dogs everywhere, cats everywhere, everyone
• 10:16
  Speaker 9: just running around. That's because the thing was like every
• 10:22
  Speaker 9: night before we would go to sleep, there would be
• 10:23
  Speaker 9: like we would put food. Actually had some straight cats
• 10:26
  Speaker 9: that we had brought in and we would put food out.
• 10:28
  Speaker 9: And every time we did that, it would be like
• 10:30
  Speaker 9: thirty somethings hanging out there and we started waiting for
• 10:38
  Speaker 9: us to come out there. And there was one cat
• 10:40
  Speaker 9: was a bully would be like bullying and we named
• 10:42
  Speaker 9: him bullying them picking them feed one of the cast
• 10:45
  Speaker 9: and they would just be like punking them for the food.
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: I mean, just have a lot of is that many
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: casts or just wrong?
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: I guess that's on my bucket list.

• 10:58
  Speaker 7: and it's.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: Just like wow.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 11:00
  Speaker 9: People be at restaurants and they would like it would
• 11:03
  Speaker 9: be so clean, like you would think that I'm telling
• 11:05
  Speaker 9: all these straight cats or whatever. But it was so clean,
• 11:07
  Speaker 9: like people have like be feeding them out their plates.
• 11:10

• 12:11
  Speaker 6: in terms of how it affected my relationships with people.
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: I wouldn't say he did it directly, but I definitely
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: have trouble like connecting with people, Like I don't have
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: too many like super super close friends, okay, because it's
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: like all the moving. It's like I kind of just

  Speaker 4: Do you feel like it's hard to trust people?
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: Is too hard to Like, I definitely trust people. I'm

• 12:58
  Speaker 6: to you have to connect with people. We have to

• 14:30
  Speaker 3: No one, No one is thinking about what you did
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: two seconds ago.

  Speaker 4: They're in their own brain thinking about whatever it is
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: that they got going on.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: So no one's that investment.

• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Like chat shat all right, Justin?
• 15:02
  Speaker 9: What about you? Our relationship is really good. In the beginning,
• 15:07
  Speaker 9: as we were growing up, he was trying to, you know,
• 15:11
  Speaker 9: play both sides of being my dad and also being
• 15:13
  Speaker 9: my coach. He learned that he couldn't do both. And
• 15:19
  Speaker 9: the day he decided to stop being my coaches today,
• 15:22
  Speaker 9: we actually really started to get a lot closer. So,
• 15:26
  Speaker 9: you know, because it's hard because like you have practice
• 15:28
  Speaker 9: and you're not doing well and he's fussing at you
• 15:30
  Speaker 9: and at you, and then you go home and it's
• 15:32
  Speaker 9: like you still have that on you. Yeah, And once
• 15:34
  Speaker 9: that went away, like he could just be in the
• 15:37
  Speaker 9: stands and be like, yo, you're doing well. You do
• 15:39
  Speaker 9: some stuff you can work on type of deal. But
• 15:42
  Speaker 9: it wasn't so heavy. And then you know, as we
• 15:46
  Speaker 9: you know, as I grew up, I started to kind
• 15:48
  Speaker 9: of see how he operated and what his mindset was
• 15:51
  Speaker 9: on certain things. He started to learn more about me.
• 15:54
  Speaker 9: We can get a little bit more open with each
• 15:56
  Speaker 9: other as well. So yeah, I would say the we're
• 16:00
  Speaker 9: in a good spot, really good spot.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, my uncle Eddy.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: Youres don't know, but Justin's dad and my dad are
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: best friends. Yeah, And so Justin and I grew up
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: with each other. Moms are pregnant at the same time
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: and their dads together is a sight to see. It's
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: constant bickering with the two of them. There was one time,
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: I don't know if your mom told you, your dad
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: came to La to see dad. They were playing talk
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: or something for literally almost twenty four hours. They stayed
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: up and they were bickering, yelling, cussing each other out,
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: and Mom's like, how much are y'all winning?
• 16:35
  Speaker 7: Like who's losing?
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: They were arguing.
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: Over five dollars, five dollars whatever it was.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: It wasn't any more than thirty bucks.
• 16:44
  Speaker 9: They don't start bickering with one of them and they're
• 16:46
  Speaker 9: not going forward.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: Oh, absolutely not.
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: When your dad sees people come after my dad, I
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: see him on Twitter, just.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Oh, immediately going and.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: You talk about your dad being your coach what age
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: did he kind of pulled back?
• 17:02
  Speaker 9: It was high school.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: It was high school, okay.
• 17:04
  Speaker 9: So that's when he realized that because that was that
• 17:10
  Speaker 9: was the time where like, you know, it was a
• 17:11
  Speaker 9: young adolescent, like I was moody too, Like okay, so yeah,
• 17:16
  Speaker 9: I wasn't fun to be around. I was fun to
• 17:18
  Speaker 9: be around.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: It was fun to be around. To grow out of that, yeah,
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: and we'll talk about that later.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: But okay, but now that you're older and you're looking
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: back on what your dad was trying to do, do
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: you feel like you can appreciate what he was trying
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: to do being your coach, are you still like? No,
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: I would I prefer the more personal relationship I had
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: with him then the coach.
• 17:38
  Speaker 9: I mean, he was doing you know, it's it's at
• 17:40
  Speaker 9: the end of the day. This is his first time
• 17:42
  Speaker 9: in life too, so like it's his first time having
• 17:44
  Speaker 9: a son, so like trying to navigate and figure out
• 17:47
  Speaker 9: what's best for him and me. It was was an experiment.

  Speaker 7: Like what you.
• 19:59
  Speaker 9: I mean at this point in time, if you're not
• 20:01
  Speaker 9: dating for marriage, what you're really doing?
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Is that what you're really doing? What are you really doing?
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: That's the question.
• 20:08
  Speaker 9: So yeah, I'm considering that for sure.
• 20:11
  Speaker 7: Very good.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: So what were you looking for in a partner seeking learnership?
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Did you?
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: Okay?
• 20:21
  Speaker 11: Just give us okay, they had to be in the
• 20:24
  Speaker 11: same faith obviously, because you can't be in the same
• 20:27
  Speaker 11: household or someone who obviously is going to be raising
• 20:30
  Speaker 11: a child and going against you know as me as
• 20:34
  Speaker 11: a man, I.
• 20:34
  Speaker 9: Had to be the leader and we're two separate agendas.
• 20:38
  Speaker 9: Then it's not going to work out difficult. It just
• 20:40
  Speaker 9: makes it justically, it doesn't make any sense. Uh, you're
• 20:46
  Speaker 9: telling you can't do this.
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: That's why you don't make sense. That's hilarious.
• 20:51
  Speaker 9: So that was one of the main things. Aside from that,
• 20:57
  Speaker 9: everything else is you know, it's pretty much my preference
• 21:02
  Speaker 9: in a sense, like she knocked off pretty much majority
• 21:06
  Speaker 9: of the boxers.
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: For you, she's beautifuthority of the boxes. How many boxes
• 21:10
  Speaker 7: were there? Really just.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: Check them all out.
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, if you were to give advice to single men, what.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: Would you say?
• 21:24
  Speaker 9: I said, the main thing is find someone that believes
• 21:27
  Speaker 9: in the same thing that you believe in.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you can.
• 21:30
  Speaker 9: I mean from that point, like you can pretty much
• 21:32
  Speaker 9: build off that you got the foundations set. They don't
• 21:36
  Speaker 9: like certain things at that time, it doesn't mean that
• 21:38
  Speaker 9: they won't like them forever, like they can always grow
• 21:41
  Speaker 9: into it. So if you have that, then you notice
• 21:44
  Speaker 9: you as someone that's going to have your back when
• 21:46
  Speaker 9: it really matters and when it really counts. And I
• 21:49
  Speaker 9: think that's probably the most important factor.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: I love that.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: I love that you found someone I love because I mean,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: I don't think we're meant to be here alone.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: We are meant to have that just a connection.
• 22:00
  Speaker 9: Be fruitful and multiply.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: And you can't do that and do that by yourself.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: You can't.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Okay, So what's the update on I say, shoot a girl, okay.

• 26:55
  Speaker 1: So you you were on this journey. And then you
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: talked about your journey at Fresno State and the correlation
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: between that and mental health. So we want you to
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: take us through that journey as much as you would like,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: just to kind of tell people how you were able
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: to move through something like getting a scholarship for your
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: education to play ball, and then the journey through and who.
• 27:21
  Speaker 7: You are today.
• 27:24
  Speaker 9: I guess I'll start with how I ended up at
• 27:26
  Speaker 9: Fresno State the first place. Yeah, So I went to
• 27:31
  Speaker 9: Brewster for a prep here after I graduated high school
• 27:36
  Speaker 9: because I was already I graduated early. I was younger
• 27:39
  Speaker 9: than I was supposed to be, so I was like,
• 27:42
  Speaker 9: let me go take another year and play some bolved
• 27:44
  Speaker 9: good idea at the same time. That's where I also
• 27:47
  Speaker 9: injured my knee. So my senior year at high school,
• 27:51
  Speaker 9: I was pretty much playing on one leg. At that point,
• 27:55
  Speaker 9: I had injured my knee going up and doing some
• 27:59
  Speaker 9: dunking in the murals and it just kind of stayed
• 28:02
  Speaker 9: with me. So fast forward went to Brewster. Wasn't able
• 28:06
  Speaker 9: to really play because I was playing on one leg
• 28:09
  Speaker 9: the entire time. Still gave out work, but you know,
• 28:12
  Speaker 9: I was hurt every time I made a move. It
• 28:14
  Speaker 9: was pain, pain, pain. That's all I really knew how
• 28:17
  Speaker 9: to deal with when I was playing. So I had
• 28:19
  Speaker 9: an opportunity. They called me up. One of the coaches
• 28:21
  Speaker 9: who was at Frezen Stair at the time, he knew
• 28:24
  Speaker 9: of me because he saw me play on the A
• 28:26
  Speaker 9: U circle, so he called me down. He asked me
• 28:28
  Speaker 9: to come out there and play with the guys and
• 28:30
  Speaker 9: kind of shore the other coaches with what I could do. Essentially,
• 28:32
  Speaker 9: I was the one out there to try out. Got there,
• 28:36
  Speaker 9: they had me play with the guys that they had
• 28:38
  Speaker 9: me there, and long story short, gave him work. I
• 28:41
  Speaker 9: think at one point I was like when the first
• 28:43
  Speaker 9: game we played I was. I was working them out
• 28:46
  Speaker 9: like work. I probably scored like ten buckets in a
• 28:50
  Speaker 9: row on them. And this is like their dude that
• 28:52
  Speaker 9: they like really was trying to like put up. So
• 28:55
  Speaker 9: that was all I really need to do. They was like, Okay,
• 28:57
  Speaker 9: we want you here, We'll bring you on this ghost
• 28:59
  Speaker 9: gull got to the school first year though, wasn't able
• 29:04
  Speaker 9: to play because I had to GIK knee surgery and
• 29:06
  Speaker 9: that's when it kind of all started to happen.
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: So freshman year, you get to Fresno State and you
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: have to have.
• 29:12
  Speaker 9: A cl no it was it was my patil attendant,
• 29:16
  Speaker 9: so it was the tender is right here on the knee.
• 29:19
  Speaker 9: So basically every time I do something jump, it was
• 29:23
  Speaker 9: pain every single time. So did that for the first year,
• 29:28
  Speaker 9: and then sophomore year comes around and I'm like, let's go,
• 29:31
  Speaker 9: let's let's get into it. Unfortunately I was still in pain.
• 29:35
  Speaker 9: The pain did not go away no matter what I
• 29:37
  Speaker 9: seemed to do, and I didn't get to play that
• 29:40
  Speaker 9: year either. Junior year rolls around and I had to
• 29:43
  Speaker 9: get another surgery.
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: So what did they say happened?
• 29:47
  Speaker 9: Why? They said that. See the first the first time
• 29:51
  Speaker 9: I got surgery. I was, I'm kind of I don't know,
• 29:53
  Speaker 9: I'm not a doctor, but they have me walking out
• 29:56
  Speaker 9: of there on my own two feet.
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: The day of the day surgery.
• 30:01
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it was like looking back on it now, it's
• 30:04
  Speaker 9: real goofy, Like I I got the surgery, I've laid
• 30:07
  Speaker 9: in the bed, I had the ENDCG and me and
• 30:09
  Speaker 9: it was like all right, let's go. Let's know what
• 30:11
  Speaker 9: you mean, like with my wheelchair. Now you good. So
• 30:14
  Speaker 9: I'm literally walking down like a crutch, like with my
• 30:16
  Speaker 9: knees still freshly open and wow, going to do that,
• 30:20
  Speaker 9: And they like it was fun to just stake some
• 30:21
  Speaker 9: pay medics and you'll be all right.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 30:24
  Speaker 9: I'm not sure if they had anything to do with
• 30:26
  Speaker 9: a long term who knows doctor, Like I said, it's
• 30:30
  Speaker 9: it was his decision. He thought I didn't really need it,
• 30:33
  Speaker 9: so like I said, junior year, get another surgery. And
• 30:37
  Speaker 9: from that point, like I'm already like in the Kosso College,
• 30:40
  Speaker 9: like I'm not playing. People are like asking me, am
• 30:44
  Speaker 9: I gonna play? I can get on the court. They're thinking,
• 30:46
  Speaker 9: I'm like, you know, you know the stuff the kids
• 30:48
  Speaker 9: be talking about. All he's scared. You don't want to play.
• 30:50
  Speaker 9: You know, he's not heard, he's just faking it. At
• 30:52
  Speaker 9: this point. He just doesn't want to do anything, and
• 30:55
  Speaker 9: all that kind of like builds up on you. So
• 30:57
  Speaker 9: I started looking for outlets, you know, trying to figure
• 30:59
  Speaker 9: out how I can cope with this whole thing, trying
• 31:02
  Speaker 9: to figure out, Okay, you know, I'm not on the court,
• 31:05
  Speaker 9: So where can I find my happiness. It's not in school.
• 31:08
  Speaker 9: It's not in you know, it's not trying to get
• 31:11
  Speaker 9: back on the court. Just once. I've been trying everything,
• 31:13
  Speaker 9: it's not working, and dealt with that. That's that's why
• 31:19
  Speaker 9: I actually got a lot of my great hairs of college.
• 31:21
  Speaker 9: I start growing gray hairs my junior year. Like people
• 31:24
  Speaker 9: start looking at like we get great hairs for it,
• 31:25
  Speaker 9: bro Like, yes, yeah, really, I don't.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: I don't remember.
• 31:30
  Speaker 9: So I get in my eyesight, like two or three
• 31:32
  Speaker 9: great airs going in my college.
• 31:33
  Speaker 7: He said, two or.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: Three nineteen twenty years old.
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: What you mean.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: I had? That's funny, Okay, so serious.
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: So by the time you're a junior, you're in a
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: dark place.
• 31:51
  Speaker 9: Yeah, real dark place, not happy, if anything, not enjoying
• 31:58
  Speaker 9: you know, life. So nothing really excited me no matter
• 32:04
  Speaker 9: what I really tried to do. I couldn't stay on
• 32:06
  Speaker 9: the court like I would play for like maybe two
• 32:08
  Speaker 9: three practices and it would be just back to square one.
• 32:14
  Speaker 9: I would have to be sitting up just watching iceing
• 32:16
  Speaker 9: all the time. It wasn't fun.
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: And so after your second surgery, was the nie feeling
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: better by that time and these.
• 32:24
  Speaker 9: Great now, like I could do everything now. But during
• 32:27
  Speaker 9: that time, like it didn't matter what I did, Like
• 32:30
  Speaker 9: it was always it was always pain. It was always pain.
• 32:34
  Speaker 9: I could not play the game of basketball, and that
• 32:40
  Speaker 9: was just tough. Like, you know, I felt like it
• 32:42
  Speaker 9: was being taken away from me from like stuff that
• 32:44
  Speaker 9: I did. And looking back on it, I probably could
• 32:47
  Speaker 9: have done some things better as far as like my choices. Well,
• 32:51
  Speaker 9: you know, in college, you you know, you get to
• 32:53
  Speaker 9: the point where you start, you know, you're drinking a
• 32:55
  Speaker 9: little bit. Yeah, and alcohol was one of my ways
• 32:59
  Speaker 9: of escaping back then. Okay, And if I could go
• 33:02
  Speaker 9: back and tell myself, now, don't touch it, yeah, leave
• 33:05
  Speaker 9: it alone, don't don't don't mess with it, because I
• 33:09
  Speaker 9: thought that was a way for me to feel better,
• 33:11
  Speaker 9: and that could have been, you know, one of the
• 33:12
  Speaker 9: reasons why my need didn't get right because you felt
• 33:15
  Speaker 9: like but there, yeah, I thought I was coping, but
• 33:18
  Speaker 9: no one could really like come to me and tell me, like,
• 33:20
  Speaker 9: yesin this is the reason you need to stop doing
• 33:22
  Speaker 9: this like I was. I was. I was kind of
• 33:24
  Speaker 9: on my loan, not to say I didn't have a
• 33:25
  Speaker 9: support system, but I'm in college. Like, no one's really Like.
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: I was trying to ask you, So, when you're going
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: through this and you have a dad who is the
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: Eddie Johnson, he's gone through this, did you look to
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: him for any advice? Did you tell him that you
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: were in this space? And or did you because you know,
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: at that age, we really do feel like we can
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: handle everything ourselves and try to hide we've grown like
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: we don't need the parental advice.
• 33:51
  Speaker 7: But did you hide that from.
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: Them or did you really allow them in to know
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: that you were in this start to a.
• 33:58
  Speaker 9: Certain point, Okay, I'm not I wouldn't call myself someone
• 34:02
  Speaker 9: who's very able to open express my emotions and the
• 34:06
  Speaker 9: way I felt, especially that that age, I kind of
• 34:09
  Speaker 9: kept a lot of my stuff myself. But I mean
• 34:12
  Speaker 9: it wasn't like they knew what was going on. They
• 34:15
  Speaker 9: understood like the situation and maybe now to the full extent,
• 34:22
  Speaker 9: but yeah, maybe if I would have been a little
• 34:24
  Speaker 9: bit more open, maybe they could have gotten me a
• 34:25
  Speaker 9: little bit more help during that time. Who knows.
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, do you feel like part of your struggle was
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: the expectation to fill your father's shoes that you couldn't meet.
• 34:38
  Speaker 9: At that point, it didn't really matter. I just need
• 34:40
  Speaker 9: to get people knew I was there because I could
• 34:45
  Speaker 9: play basketball, like I would be on the team if
• 34:47
  Speaker 9: I did, you know what I mean. So at this point,
• 34:50
  Speaker 9: like it's now time to get on the court and
• 34:51
  Speaker 9: show them. But like, yeah, like four years there and
• 34:56
  Speaker 9: not one minute logged. That's why I tell people when
• 34:58
  Speaker 9: they asked me, like you like yes or no? Because
• 35:02
  Speaker 9: I was on the team and I did all the practices,
• 35:03
  Speaker 9: but I never was able to get on the court.
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: That's hard.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: But when you're that young, Yeah, I don't even know
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: if that sinks in that you're you're here to do
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: a job and you can't even do it.
• 35:13
  Speaker 7: That has to be so fair and.
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: You're not able to do it because you feel like
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: your body let you do it. Just it just you
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: can't control exactly, Like that was.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Knowing that you're good and that you can do something
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: really really well and can't do.
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: It because your body just won't allow you to do it.
• 35:29
  Speaker 9: It was tough. Yeah, like what I'm saying, like it was.
• 35:31
  Speaker 9: It was tough. So that's when, like, you know, a
• 35:35
  Speaker 9: lot of that's why a lot of my depression kicked in.
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: So being depressed because I've I don't know if if
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: Sidney to Merrick, you guys have been diagnosedally depressed.
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: Not diagnosed, I don't know.
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: It's a lot of the times you don't know that
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: you are depressed, and it takes outside people looking in
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: to say, hey, Justin or hey Sidney to Mary and Maria,
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: are you okay?
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: I think you know, we see the abuse.
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: With the alcohol or drugs or pay the change of behavior.
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: I think you need help. Did that happen for you
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: or did you just come to that moment yourself to say, hey,
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: I don't like the way that I've been feeling.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: I need to get some help.
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: Like what sparked that change or that transition out of
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: the state of depression.
• 36:16
  Speaker 9: It took a while. It took even after I got
• 36:19
  Speaker 9: out of Collars to be able to finally realize what
• 36:22
  Speaker 9: was actually like harming me. Okay, that sense like because
• 36:26
  Speaker 9: that's that's what I knew. That's that's what worked for me,
• 36:30
  Speaker 9: you know what I'm saying. That was my comfort.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: So do you remember a time when you said to yourself,
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: justin we're making a change, Like you talk had that
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: internal moment.
• 36:40
  Speaker 9: All the time, like you would tell yourself like, Okay,
• 36:43
  Speaker 9: we're not doing this anymore. But like, okay, a couple
• 36:45
  Speaker 9: of days later, here we are right back where we
• 36:48
  Speaker 9: said we weren't going to be. And you know, you
• 36:51
  Speaker 9: can tell yourself, oh, this is my last time doing
• 36:53
  Speaker 9: this as many times as you want, but that's just
• 36:56
  Speaker 9: at that point if you don't actually put the effort
• 36:57
  Speaker 9: in just doing it, it's all talk at that point.
• 37:00
  Speaker 9: And it's like I said, it took some time for me,
• 37:04
  Speaker 9: even after college, to finally be able to realize that.
• 37:08
  Speaker 9: Now now obviously you know, ten fifteen years moved from that,
• 37:14
  Speaker 9: I feel a little much better, feel you know a
• 37:16
  Speaker 9: lot or whatever.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: I do.
• 37:21
  Speaker 9: I mean, I can I'm always so growing. I feel
• 37:23
  Speaker 9: like everyone's down. There's no there's no time to stop
• 37:26
  Speaker 9: like getting to where you need to be at the
• 37:28
  Speaker 9: end of the day.
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: But did you go into therapy.
• 37:33
  Speaker 9: Oh I did. I did therapy. I did that and
• 37:37
  Speaker 9: helpful a little bit. It was just hard to open
• 37:39
  Speaker 9: up the.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: Buddy, but he was like asking helping up the buddy.
• 37:44
  Speaker 9: I didn't like. I thought I was opening up, Like, No,
• 37:47
  Speaker 9: I don't want to tell you that you didn't trust him.
• 37:51
  Speaker 7: I mean, and that's that's real.
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: But that is a huge step that a lot of
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: people don't know, particularly men and then men of color.
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: You guys are not comfort getting to the chair. So
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: that's first and foremost. You got to the chair. So
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: that's a huge win.
• 38:05
  Speaker 9: Right, someone that you never met no more. Yeah, what
• 38:08
  Speaker 9: he does you're supposed to tell you the things that're
• 38:10
  Speaker 9: supposed to just make everything everything, yeah away.
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: So therapy wasn't something that helped you personally.
• 38:17
  Speaker 9: I did it for call it a month, and I
• 38:22
  Speaker 9: was like, I don't want.
• 38:23
  Speaker 10: To go no more.
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: Okay, but we're looking at a different version of you today. Yeah,
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: absolutely So, So what helped create this version of Justin Johnson?
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: It wasn't therapy.
• 38:36
  Speaker 9: So a lot of my issues stemmed for me not
• 38:40
  Speaker 9: having a relationship with the most high So when I
• 38:44
  Speaker 9: was in college, I had pretty much forsake him because
• 38:47
  Speaker 9: I wasn't getting what I believed that I deserved at
• 38:50
  Speaker 9: the time. I wasn't able to play, so why are
• 38:53
  Speaker 9: you taking this from me? So I was like, if
• 38:55
  Speaker 9: you're not going to help me, then I'm not going
• 38:57
  Speaker 9: to do what I need to do to praise you
• 38:59
  Speaker 9: worked with get out of my face. And that's when
• 39:01
  Speaker 9: a lot of the chaos started to happen in my life.
• 39:04
  Speaker 9: I was dealing with a lot, like I said, depression.
• 39:07
  Speaker 9: It was suffering from a I don't know if you
• 39:09
  Speaker 9: guys ever heard of this sleep paralysis familiar with it.
• 39:13
  Speaker 9: I've had bouts with sleep paralysis where I would go
• 39:16
  Speaker 9: like I couldn't sleep without actually having it happen to me.
• 39:20
  Speaker 9: And the stuff I was seeing, hearing and dealing with
• 39:22
  Speaker 9: at the time I wouldn't wish on anybody. Yeah, So
• 39:32
  Speaker 9: dealing with all that and getting to where I am
• 39:34
  Speaker 9: now where I don't have those bouts, it does feel
• 39:38
  Speaker 9: good because now I know that the support system in
• 39:40
  Speaker 9: the world is not going to solve anything. It's it's
• 39:44
  Speaker 9: it's having that. It might seem cliche and point of
• 39:47
  Speaker 9: people that may be hearing this, but at the end
• 39:48
  Speaker 9: of the day, like you're a creative being. You're here
• 39:52
  Speaker 9: not by your own choice or free will. So something
• 39:54
  Speaker 9: made you and put you here in the first place.
• 39:57
  Speaker 9: So what is that. Well, I choose to believe that
• 39:59
  Speaker 9: it is the entity that is spoken of in the Bible,
• 40:04
  Speaker 9: and doing that is essentially, you know, allow me to
• 40:09
  Speaker 9: transform myself.
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: Wow, that's incredible, incredible because we're looking at the transformation.
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, still going every day is a work in progress exactly, but.
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: You seem more at peace and happy and lights and
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: I'm happy for you.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: We're so happy for you.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about your evolution, even if it's even if
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: it's a small one. So I feel like I go
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: through small revel like evolutions like every few months, you
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: How we just keep evolving, evolving, So.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: If you had any evolution moments over the years.
• 40:53
  Speaker 7: That you can recall that.
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: I can recall.
• 40:57
  Speaker 9: I don't know.
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: I feel like I'm still evolving absolutely three.
• 41:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm really still trying to figure out like what
• 41:03
  Speaker 6: I'm doing that.
• 41:06
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a part of that.
• 41:08
  Speaker 10: Yeah, because right now I have no idea.
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: And the end that twenty three, you're not.
• 41:15
  Speaker 6: But that's why I feel like, that's what a lot
• 41:17
  Speaker 6: of people might like, why don't I have just figured
• 41:19
  Speaker 6: out yet twenty three?
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: You're not, Yeah, because I was always that.
• 41:24
  Speaker 6: I've always been that person like I don't know what
• 41:28
  Speaker 6: it's okay. Yeah, Like I went to college.
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: I didn't know what I wanted. But if you study
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: at college, picked the major like you're like and pick.
• 41:39
  Speaker 6: When I went to college, I went because I want
• 41:42
  Speaker 6: to do broadcast journalism.
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: Okay. I did it for like a semester or two
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: changed mind.
• 41:50
  Speaker 9: You know.
• 41:51
  Speaker 7: I talked about I was like, I don't really like
• 41:53
  Speaker 7: being in front of She's like I have to talk
• 41:56
  Speaker 7: to people saying it.
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: I don't really like being the camera.
• 42:01
  Speaker 6: And I was kind of just like general communication okay.
• 42:04
  Speaker 6: And they were like sophomore year came around, They're like, girl,
• 42:07
  Speaker 6: you gotta.
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: Pick a major.
• 42:10
  Speaker 7: So I was like, oh, I'll.
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: Just do like media management like hid the camera stuff.
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: So that's what I did. It ended up being just like.
• 42:17
  Speaker 10: Such a vague major and.
• 42:18
  Speaker 6: I was not aware of that before I chose it.
• 42:21
  Speaker 6: But like, once I chose it, I had to keep
• 42:22
  Speaker 6: going because I.
• 42:23
  Speaker 10: Was not doing more than four years in college.
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: So what are you really better at?
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: Like, what are you like, really really good at what
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 42:30
  Speaker 6: I think I'm good at managing people because I'm a
• 42:32
  Speaker 6: super organized person. Okay, that's better like telling people what
• 42:36
  Speaker 6: to do than like then okay everything else.
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I think I'm still figuring out.
• 42:43
  Speaker 6: I still haven't really found my lane. Yeah, I would
• 42:45
  Speaker 6: love to find it soon.
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: But why And that's I think that's such a misconception
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: that there's this final destination with life. But I know
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: of a girl who was studying to become a nurse,
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: and she lived in Boston. One day she woke up
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: and she was like, I want to be a fashion designer,
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: and she packed up her bags and moved to l A.
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: There shouldn't be this pressure to figure out who you're
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: supposed to be, because next year you may stumble.
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: And and and evolve.
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: And and want to change courses. And the beauty about life
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: is that every day, like Justin said, is a gift
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: when you get to wake up and you can pivot at.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: Any point because something can happen, because something you can
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: be inspired to go and help or solve or dedicate
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: your life to do something else.
• 43:31
  Speaker 7: So to have it figured out.
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: There's no such thing as There's no such thing as that,
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: So I don't know where where we got this idea
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: that we were I.
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: Think it's just a little pressure because.
• 43:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's been doing it, but that's not what that's not.
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: It's unfortunately our dads don't Our dads really don't.
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: Live in reality.
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: She was like, she like, like, you know, they they
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: are in a very special situation. But for us, every
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: day people, that may not be our journey. We may
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: not just find one thing that we're good at and
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: continue down that path for the rest of our lives.
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: And I think that's the beauty of life, being able
• 44:21

  Speaker 9: find a way to monetize that, then I know that
• 46:21
  Speaker 9: only would I be helping a variety of people in
• 46:23

• 47:01
  Speaker 9: are being held each year that people try to utilize
• 47:04

• 47:12
  Speaker 9: eyes on your nonprofit, but to be able to raise
• 47:15
