- 0:10Speaker 1: is a step to success, but quitting is not.
- 0:15Speaker 2: Never give up on what you really want to do.
- 0:22Speaker 3: This is the instinct that says you've had enough. This
- 0:27Speaker 3: is the instinct that says you've given it your best shot.
- 0:31Speaker 3: You can stand down, you can back off.
- 0:37Speaker 4: You can take a knee.
- 0:39Speaker 1: Don't stop when you're tired, stop when you're done. We
- 0:43Speaker 1: are relentless, We are powerful. We are forward thinkers. We
- 0:49Speaker 1: are the generation of hard workers, innovators and creators. And
- 0:54Speaker 1: we are the ones who never give up, never's the winder,
- 0:57Speaker 1: and never quit on our goals.
- 0:59Speaker 5: This is the instinct that says you can rest spoun
- 1:08Speaker 5: Do not listen to that instinct. Do not listen. That
- 1:14Speaker 5: instinct is a liar and wants to bring you down.
- 1:18Speaker 6: You don't judge a person by where they's staying in
- 1:20Speaker 6: times of comfort and convenience.
- 1:21Speaker 7: You're judging by where.
- 1:22Speaker 6: He's staying in times of challenge and controversy. When you
- 1:25Speaker 6: work for something and give you a different type of
- 1:27Speaker 6: attachment to it, the harder.
- 1:28Speaker 8: You work, the harder it is to surrender.
- 1:30Speaker 1: As long as we're willing to put the work in,
- 1:33Speaker 1: we will get there in the end, as long as
- 1:36Speaker 1: we never quit.
- 1:38Speaker 7: It's all about the putty mind.
- 1:40Speaker 8: So what's the pretty mind.
- 1:41Speaker 7: Let's says day one of a job interview. Y'all know
- 1:46Speaker 7: what that fucking shit feels like. You have your clothes
- 1:48Speaker 7: laying out.
- 1:49Speaker 9: You got your fucking food rad to.
- 1:51Speaker 7: Go in the morning.
- 1:52Speaker 9: You've been preparing for weeks and weeks a week, you
- 1:56Speaker 9: show up and you bring your best self.
- 1:58Speaker 7: You get the fucking job, crystal, all right.
- 2:02Speaker 9: After a couple of months you start showing up to
- 2:05Speaker 9: work a little later.
- 2:07Speaker 1: You don't look as good.
- 2:09Speaker 9: Your clothes aren't fucking laid out, your breakfast isn't ready,
- 2:13Speaker 9: your mind's getting softer.
- 2:15Speaker 1: We do that shift everything in life.
- 2:18Speaker 10: We're new years coming up.
- 2:20Speaker 9: Guess what, don't have a fucking pretty line repetition every day?
- 2:25Speaker 10: Stay hard now.
- 2:27Speaker 6: If you ain't got more heart than me, if you
- 2:29Speaker 6: ain't been working harder than me, if you ain't sacrifice
- 2:33Speaker 6: more than me, I'm gonna destore you. And I'm not retreating.
- 2:38Speaker 6: I'm not running. I don't care what they say on paper,
- 2:41Speaker 6: I don't care how many games you want. I don't
- 2:44Speaker 6: care if you say we outnumbered.
- 2:46Speaker 7: We live by this and we die by this.
- 2:48Speaker 1: We don't retreat, We don't run.
- 2:50Speaker 6: Every man must search his own soul.
- 2:53Speaker 1: The biggest battle you will fight is with yourself. This
- 2:56Speaker 1: battle will never go away. It's a fight you won't
- 3:00Speaker 1: have to battle for the rest of your life. You
- 3:04Speaker 1: are the only person that can get yourself back up.
- 3:08Speaker 1: But you're also the only person that can lie down
- 3:12Speaker 1: and allow yourself to be defeated.
- 3:15Speaker 11: Don't fail yourself.
- 3:21Speaker 12: Today, Quentin is never an option.
- 3:25Speaker 7: Don't fail yourself today, is it?
- 3:29Speaker 13: So many of our limitations are self imposed, you know?
- 3:33Speaker 7: And we we set something up in our brain.
- 3:36Speaker 13: We program our brain one way, and that's our limit.
- 3:40Speaker 13: And until we can get past that and see what
- 3:42Speaker 13: we're really made of, and like get uncomfortable and experience pain,
- 3:46Speaker 13: you can't really you don't really don't know what you're
- 3:48Speaker 13: capable of.
- 3:49Speaker 14: When you feel you've exhausted every option, remember you haven't.
- 3:52Speaker 15: If I could count the amount of times I was
- 3:54Speaker 15: told no, though I created the mentality in my head
- 3:57Speaker 15: of taking no as no, not right now, not no,
- 3:59Speaker 15: This isn't free you. If I had given up after
- 4:01Speaker 15: the first time i'd said no, I wouldn't be here.
- 4:03Speaker 15: And so just you know, not letting someone dictate your future.
- 4:07Speaker 15: If you believe in something so strongly and you want
- 4:09Speaker 15: to do something so strongly, who's going to tell you
- 4:11Speaker 15: to not do it.
- 4:12Speaker 16: There's never a failure unless you quit.
- 4:14Speaker 7: So if you keep going, there's not a failure.
- 4:16Speaker 8: Just keep changing and moving.
- 4:18Speaker 2: The person with big dreams is more powerful than the
- 4:21Speaker 2: person with all the facts.
- 4:23Speaker 6: But it's not so much about the opposition and the
- 4:25Speaker 6: adversity that we face as it is about the perspective
- 4:28Speaker 6: that we have about the opposition and adversity that we face.
- 4:31Speaker 8: I mean, in.
- 4:32Speaker 6: Perspective drosts performance every day of the week. How you
- 4:34Speaker 6: view what you do will always affect how you do
- 4:36Speaker 6: what you doing.
- 4:38Speaker 1: Don't stop when you're tired, stop when you are done.
- 4:41Speaker 1: Once a quitter, always a quitter. Prove them wrong. You
- 4:46Speaker 1: are relentless. You will never stop. This isn't a game
- 4:51Speaker 1: to you. This is life or death.
- 4:54Speaker 6: People don't burn out because of what they do. People
- 4:56Speaker 6: burn out because life makes them forget.
- 4:57Speaker 8: Why they do it.
- 4:59Speaker 6: Character supersedes every day of the week. No retreat, no surrendering.
- 5:04Speaker 6: We live and we die by this every man must
- 5:07Speaker 6: search his own soul at a certain point. You don't
- 5:10Speaker 6: let your actions betray your words.
- 5:12Speaker 1: You are not going to give up because of a
- 5:14Speaker 1: little pain. You won't quit because of a bad situation.
- 5:18Speaker 1: It isn't in your nature to give up on this.
- 5:23Speaker 1: You don't stop when you're tired. You stop when you're done.
- 5:27Speaker 1: You stop when you get the job done. You finish
- 5:31Speaker 1: when you have done enough work to make progress. A
- 5:35Speaker 1: little pain along the way is your right of passage.
- 5:39Speaker 1: It is the battle scars of the successful, the marks
- 5:42Speaker 1: of a warrior who succeed at this adventure through life.
- 5:48Speaker 1: What will your scars say about you? How many battles
- 5:52Speaker 1: will you pull through to come out the other side
- 5:55Speaker 1: a winner, Come out the other side an ultimate version
- 6:00Speaker 1: of yourself.
- 6:02Speaker 2: Never give up on what you really want to do, and.
- 6:08Speaker 5: They'll say it's not your fault. And they'll tell you
- 6:16Speaker 5: it's okay to stop, it's okay to settle, it's okay.
- 6:23Speaker 7: To give up.
- 6:52Speaker 5: And that is the instinct you need to fight.
- 6:55Speaker 1: You need to push.
- 6:56Speaker 17: Back, to smash into the ground. Do not take the
- 7:02Speaker 17: easy way out. Do not give up based on instinct.
- 7:08Speaker 3: If you are forced to stand down to retreat so.
- 7:14Speaker 17: That you can rebuild and reattack.
- 7:18Speaker 4: So be it, but make that decision based on logic,
- 7:27Speaker 4: not on the instinct of surrender.
- 7:31Speaker 7: And defeat.
- 7:34Speaker 6: Opposition, adversity challenge. Never forget why you do what you do.
- 7:40Speaker 6: I'm not talking about college. I'm not talking about when
- 7:43Speaker 6: you first got to the league and you got drafted.
- 7:46Speaker 6: I'm talking about when you was coming up and he
- 7:49Speaker 6: was in the street, or you was at the pall
- 7:53Speaker 6: and your mom had.
- 7:54Speaker 8: To go sacrifice and work so you get your pay
- 7:56Speaker 8: a clause.
- 7:57Speaker 6: I'm talking about that bite because everybody will remember.
- 8:01Speaker 1: That your will and desire to win are greater than
- 8:05Speaker 1: anybody else's. I know you are aware of how bad
- 8:10Speaker 1: you want this. I know you are aware of what
- 8:13Speaker 1: you would give to succeed. I know you want this,
- 8:17Speaker 1: I know it is all you want. I know what
- 8:20Speaker 1: you would give for this. So do it. Show it,
- 8:24Speaker 1: Prove it, show the world, show them that anything you
- 8:27Speaker 1: can dream of can become your reality. Success is getting
- 8:33Speaker 1: back up and learning from these falls, learning from the
- 8:37Speaker 1: pain and the losses. Success lies in getting back to
- 8:41Speaker 1: your feet and trying again.
- 8:43Speaker 18: I was just a young kid would a dream, and
- 8:45Speaker 18: I believe in himself, and for many times I was
- 8:48Speaker 18: laughed at and I believed in. But you know what,
- 8:50Speaker 18: nothing external can can can defeat the internal. The only
- 8:54Speaker 18: thing that can take someone down and break you down
- 8:56Speaker 18: is internal. Nothing external is strong enough. It's just about
- 8:59Speaker 18: make sure your internal dialogue and your internal belief and
- 9:02Speaker 18: just have a strong enough that it can withstand the external.
- 9:05Speaker 18: The external is there, you've got to accept it. You've
- 9:08Speaker 18: got to embrace it. You've got to understand it and
- 9:09Speaker 18: be aware of it, but don't let it seep into
- 9:12Speaker 18: you into your internal dialogue.
- 9:17Speaker 6: For most people, man, you could be great, but you
- 9:19Speaker 6: haven't even pulled a strip off the activated, right, Like,
- 9:22Speaker 6: you can be great, but you're living on reserve. Right,
- 9:25Speaker 6: You didn't empty the bucket, right, You didn't give everything
- 9:28Speaker 6: you had to every aspect.
- 9:29Speaker 14: Of your life.
- 9:30Speaker 6: Like for most people get great professionally, but they end
- 9:34Speaker 6: up becoming a public success and behind closed doors their
- 9:37Speaker 6: private failure. Not because they don't have the talent or
- 9:40Speaker 6: the skill set, they don't have the character right that
- 9:43Speaker 6: they can apply it and be consistent in every aspect
- 9:47Speaker 6: of their life and empty out everything they got to everything. Right,
- 9:51Speaker 6: of course, you don't just give everything you got all
- 9:54Speaker 6: the time right, you get to a point to where
- 9:56Speaker 6: you learn to be efficient and effective in every aspect.
- 10:01Speaker 16: Of your life.
- 10:02Speaker 8: And for most people, it's not a problem with yourself.
- 10:05Speaker 6: It's a problem with character and empty the bucket is
- 10:08Speaker 6: having the right character to be consistent and empty out
- 10:11Speaker 6: everything you got in every aspect of your life. There
- 10:18Speaker 6: was a lot of moments in my life to where
- 10:20Speaker 6: it was people that saw things in me that I
- 10:22Speaker 6: couldn't see it myself, and they believed in me in
- 10:25Speaker 6: a way that I couldn't believe in myself yet, and
- 10:28Speaker 6: I rented their level of belief until I got strong
- 10:30Speaker 6: enough to possess my own.
- 10:34Speaker 12: Right.
- 10:34Speaker 14: It's like when you're young and.
- 10:35Speaker 6: They see you, and it's like, even when you start
- 10:38Speaker 6: out doing what you're doing, you can be talented, right,
- 10:41Speaker 6: and somebody older than you are, more experienced than you,
- 10:44Speaker 6: can see you and know like, oh, man, if you
- 10:47Speaker 6: did this, or if he does this, then he could
- 10:49Speaker 6: be great, right, And they can come to you and say,
- 10:53Speaker 6: a kid, man, you've got something like you could be great.
- 10:56Speaker 6: Like my teachers and my coaches when they came to
- 10:59Speaker 6: me and they were like son, telling you you could
- 11:01Speaker 6: go to college, man like you really. I know you're
- 11:03Speaker 6: talking about it, but your circumstances are saying different.
- 11:06Speaker 7: I think you can do it.
- 11:08Speaker 6: Right, And when they said it, I'm like, oh I can.
- 11:11Speaker 6: I can do it like I can make it happen.
- 11:13Speaker 6: Because they're believing in me making it happen. I think
- 11:16Speaker 6: I can do it, like I think when you show
- 11:19Speaker 6: people think that's powerful. I think exposure sparks inspiration, right,
- 11:26Speaker 6: Exposure sparks motivation, and my mindset can never go back
- 11:32Speaker 6: to the way that it once was because I have
- 11:35Speaker 6: been exposed to something different, to something new. And so
- 11:40Speaker 6: I think belief and exposure or two of the most
- 11:43Speaker 6: powerful things that can happen to a person, like when
- 11:49Speaker 6: you're young, or when you do something in your novelge right,
- 11:52Speaker 6: and you start out doing it and you might think
- 11:54Speaker 6: you can do something with it, or you might not.
- 11:56Speaker 6: You might do it and it's being driven by your passion,
- 12:03Speaker 6: and then somebody comes alone that's a little bit older
- 12:05Speaker 6: or even more experience, and they can see it in
- 12:09Speaker 6: a way that you can't see it, right, And so
- 12:11Speaker 6: I think it's important with belief because if a person
- 12:15Speaker 6: believes in you in a way that you don't believe
- 12:16Speaker 6: in yourself. You can rent that person's belief until you
- 12:19Speaker 6: get strong enough to possess your own, right, and you
- 12:24Speaker 6: use that person's belief to feel you every single day right,
- 12:27Speaker 6: because you can have a level of belief with what
- 12:30Speaker 6: you're doing, but you can go back to a certain
- 12:32Speaker 6: set of circumstances that tell you now it's not going
- 12:35Speaker 6: to happen, And so you rent that person's belief until
- 12:38Speaker 6: you get strong enough to possess your own. I firmly
- 12:43Speaker 6: believe every person's purpose is tied to somebody else's purpose
- 12:47Speaker 6: and destiny, and so your purpose, my purpose is tied
- 12:51Speaker 6: to somebody else. Like when I speak, when I do
- 12:54Speaker 6: what I do, like people say, oh man, I really
- 12:57Speaker 6: need to hear that, right that helped me do this,
- 13:00Speaker 6: that helped get me through this, that helped me with this.
- 13:04Speaker 6: That's my purpose being tied to other people's purpose, destiny, beliefs,
- 13:09Speaker 6: and dreams.
- 13:10Speaker 7: That's the power and magic of purpose.
- 13:12Speaker 8: Right.
- 13:12Speaker 6: I don't think it can be a purpose without being
- 13:15Speaker 6: tied to other people's purpose, destiny, dreams, and aspirations.
- 13:19Speaker 12: Right.
- 13:19Speaker 6: I think that's the power in it. But realizing it
- 13:22Speaker 6: is another thing. The only thing I felt I had
- 13:27Speaker 6: the advantage in my whole life was my work at it,
- 13:30Speaker 6: and I took pride in that right. I was never
- 13:32Speaker 6: the biggest, the fastest, the strongest, never had the most resources,
- 13:36Speaker 6: but I had to work at it. I think what's
- 13:40Speaker 6: most important is when we go through something, what's the
- 13:43Speaker 6: perspective that we have of it?
- 13:45Speaker 8: Right?
- 13:46Speaker 6: Because for most people, when you go through something, the
- 13:48Speaker 6: person's natural perspective is, Okay, what did I lose?
- 13:52Speaker 8: Right?
- 13:53Speaker 6: What happened to me? Like I took a loss? Right,
- 13:56Speaker 6: people never look at it and say, okay, man, tell
- 13:58Speaker 6: me what did you gain? Even though I know it
- 14:01Speaker 6: hurt you didn't want to go through it, But look
- 14:03Speaker 6: at it in a way to where you can say,
- 14:05Speaker 6: what's the lesson in this?
- 14:07Speaker 8: Right?
- 14:07Speaker 6: What would you say? Life is trying to teach you
- 14:09Speaker 6: from dealing with this and a firm you believe, the
- 14:13Speaker 6: quicker you can shift your perspective from yourself to others
- 14:17Speaker 6: when you're in the midst of adversity, the quicker you'll
- 14:20Speaker 6: get through it. I think having a purpose is that
- 14:33Speaker 6: thing that makes us tick, that gets us up every
- 14:37Speaker 6: day and gets us over the hump of opposition and adversity,
- 14:41Speaker 6: and the reason that I champion adversity in opposition is
- 14:44Speaker 6: because I think for the most part in life, people
- 14:48Speaker 6: pretty much know what to do when things go right. Right, like,
- 14:52Speaker 6: when things go right, they know how to feel, they
- 14:54Speaker 6: know how to act, how to react. But it's when
- 14:57Speaker 6: that opposition and that adversity and it creates a level
- 15:02Speaker 6: of misunderstanding. Right now the vision is blurred. Now you
- 15:06Speaker 6: don't have clarity about what you're supposed to do. Now
- 15:10Speaker 6: you question if your existence matters. And I think when
- 15:14Speaker 6: you have a purpose, it's powerful because in the midst
- 15:17Speaker 6: of the opposition, it makes you realize that you've been
- 15:20Speaker 6: put here for a certain reason. This too shell pass right.
- 15:29Speaker 6: And the reason I would say that is, like I said,
- 15:32Speaker 6: I champion adversity, right. We know what to do when
- 15:35Speaker 6: things go right. But the next time it gets tough,
- 15:38Speaker 6: the next time you question your purpose, the next time
- 15:41Speaker 6: you question your existence your mission. If you're supposed to
- 15:46Speaker 6: be doing what you're doing and it gets tough and challenging,
- 15:50Speaker 6: just whisper to yourself this too shell pass, This too
- 15:54Speaker 6: shell pass.
- 15:56Speaker 19: If you actually want something, you can have it. Well,
- 16:06Speaker 19: you have to treat yourself like you matter, because if
- 16:09Speaker 19: you don't then you don't take care of yourself, and
- 16:11Speaker 19: you become vengeful and cruel, and you take it out
- 16:16Speaker 19: on people around you, and you're not a positive force.
- 16:19Speaker 19: None of that's good. So you suffer more, and so
- 16:21Speaker 19: does everyone around you, and there's a malevolence that enters
- 16:23Speaker 19: into it. None of that's good. So that's what happens
- 16:26Speaker 19: if you don't treat yourself like you matter. The first
- 16:31Speaker 19: thing I would say is, well, you should be afraid
- 16:34Speaker 19: of taking risks and pursuing something meaningful. One of the
- 16:38Speaker 19: main reasons that people don't get what they want is
- 16:40Speaker 19: because they don't actually figure out what it is and
- 16:46Speaker 19: the probability that you're going to get what would be
- 16:49Speaker 19: good for you, let's say, which would even be better
- 16:50Speaker 19: than what you want, right, because you know you might
- 16:53Speaker 19: be wrong about what you want easily, but maybe you
- 16:56Speaker 19: could get what would really be good for you. Well,
- 17:00Speaker 19: why don't you because you don't try. Life is a
- 17:08Speaker 19: challenge that in some sense can't be surmounted. So there's
- 17:11Speaker 19: no way out of your problem, but there are certainly
- 17:14Speaker 19: proper ways.
- 17:14Speaker 8: Of dealing with it.
- 17:18Speaker 19: Sit on your bed one day and ask yourself, Ah,
- 17:22Speaker 19: what remarkably stupid things am I doing on a regular
- 17:26Speaker 19: basis to absolutely screw up my life. I would say
- 17:31Speaker 19: that the goal in life is to conduct yourself so
- 17:33Speaker 19: that life improves. You should be more afraid of staying
- 17:38Speaker 19: where you are if it's making you miserable. Clock is ticking.
- 17:43Speaker 19: And if you're miserable in your job now and you
- 17:45Speaker 19: change nothing in five years, you'll be much more miserable
- 17:48Speaker 19: and you'll be a lot older people don't get what
- 17:51Speaker 19: they want and they need because they don't aim at it.
- 17:54Speaker 19: And it's a hard lesson for people to learn because
- 17:57Speaker 19: they're cynical to begin with, and they presume that there's
- 17:59Speaker 19: no possible way of moving forward. But it's not so
- 18:04Speaker 19: unreasonable to assume that you're not going to hit what
- 18:07Speaker 19: you don't aim at, or you're not going to hit
- 18:11Speaker 19: what you aim at and don't shoot at. We're built
- 18:15Speaker 19: to contend with the world. We're built to contend with reality.
- 18:18Speaker 19: You want a challenge, and the best way that you
- 18:20Speaker 19: can take on a challenge because a challenge fortifies you.
- 18:23Speaker 19: So you don't want to be secure. You want to
- 18:25Speaker 19: be strong, and you get strong by taking on optimal challenges.
- 18:28Speaker 19: And so you lay out your destiny in the world,
- 18:30Speaker 19: and you take the slings and arrows of fate and
- 18:33Speaker 19: you make yourself stronger while you're doing so, and you
- 18:35Speaker 19: might fail, and fortune might do you in, but it's
- 18:38Speaker 19: your best bet. Huge part of the reason that people
- 18:42Speaker 19: fail is because they don't ever set up the criteria
- 18:45Speaker 19: for success. And so since success is a very narrow
- 18:50Speaker 19: line and very unlikely, the probability that you're going to
- 18:53Speaker 19: stumble on it randomly is zero. So you want to
- 18:57Speaker 19: set yourself a task that's difficult, but not so difficult
- 19:00Speaker 19: you can't attain it. And then what happens is that
- 19:02Speaker 19: you step up improvement across time incrementally. And there's also
- 19:06Speaker 19: a certain element of humility to it, right, which is,
- 19:09Speaker 19: don't bite off more than you can chew. Right, don't
- 19:12Speaker 19: set grandiose goals, but incremental improvement will get you a
- 19:15Speaker 19: tremendous distance. It's a luxury to pursue what makes you happy.
- 19:29Speaker 19: It's a moral obligation to pursue what you find meaningful.
- 19:33Speaker 19: And that doesn't mean it's easy. It might require sacrifice
- 19:37Speaker 19: if you need to change your job too. Let's say
- 19:39Speaker 19: you have a family and children and a mortgage. You
- 19:42Speaker 19: have responsibilities, You've already picked up those responsibilities. You don't
- 19:47Speaker 19: just get to walk away scott free say well I
- 19:49Speaker 19: don't like my job, I quit. That's no strategy. But
- 19:53Speaker 19: what you might have to do is you think, well,
- 19:54Speaker 19: this job is killing my soul, all right, so what
- 19:57Speaker 19: do I have to do about that? Well, I have
- 19:59Speaker 19: to look for another job. Well no one wants to
- 20:01Speaker 19: hire me. It's like, okay, maybe you need to educate
- 20:04Speaker 19: yourself more. Maybe you need to update your curriculum, vita,
- 20:08Speaker 19: your resume. Maybe you need to overcome your fear of
- 20:11Speaker 19: being interviewed. I think what you have to do, and
- 20:17Speaker 19: this is part of humility, is you have to look
- 20:19Speaker 19: around you, within your sphere of influence, like the direct
- 20:22Speaker 19: sphere of influence, and fix the things that announce themselves
- 20:27Speaker 19: as in need of repair. And those are often small things,
- 20:31Speaker 19: you know, and they can be like your room, put
- 20:34Speaker 19: it in order, because the thing is, it isn't exactly
- 20:37Speaker 19: so important that your room is in order, although it is.
- 20:40Speaker 19: What's important is that you learn how to distinguish between
- 20:43Speaker 19: chaos and order and to be able to act in
- 20:46Speaker 19: a manner that produces order. Three years from now, you
- 20:50Speaker 19: can have what you need. You've got to be careful
- 20:54Speaker 19: about it. You can't have everything. You can have what
- 20:57Speaker 19: would be good for you, but you have to figure
- 20:59Speaker 19: out what it is, and then you have to aim
- 21:01Speaker 19: at it. And when you're in the zone, you're expanding
- 21:06Speaker 19: your skills in a manner that's intrinsically rewarding because you're succeeding.
- 21:12Speaker 19: And so you want to set If you're good to yourself,
- 21:14Speaker 19: you think, okay, I need to set a goal, but
- 21:16Speaker 19: I need to set a goal that someone as stupid
- 21:19Speaker 19: and useless as me could probably attain if they put
- 21:22Speaker 19: some effort into it. Now, if there are things about
- 21:26Speaker 19: your life that are bothering you, or things about the
- 21:28Speaker 19: world that are bothering you, then you want to decompose
- 21:32Speaker 19: them into solvable sub problems. You can do something as
- 21:36Speaker 19: simple as just sit on your bed and think, Okay,
- 21:39Speaker 19: there's probably like five things I could do today so
- 21:42Speaker 19: that tomorrow morning is slightly better than this morning was
- 21:46Speaker 19: at least, or at least I'm not falling behind. And
- 21:48Speaker 19: those will usually be It's like, have you to eat
- 21:50Speaker 19: a toad in the morning, right, It's like it's not
- 21:52Speaker 19: going to be something you want to do. There'll be
- 21:54Speaker 19: things you're trying to avoid there's snakes. Essentially, compare yourself
- 21:59Speaker 19: to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else
- 22:01Speaker 19: is today. I've dealt with hundreds of people in my
- 22:05Speaker 19: clinical and consulting practice, and we set a goal, we
- 22:08Speaker 19: develop a vision and work towards it, and things inevitably
- 22:13Speaker 19: get better for people. So it's not a luxury. It's difficult,
- 22:18Speaker 19: it's a moral responsibility, and it isn't happiness. It's not
- 22:21Speaker 19: the pursuit isn't for happiness. Well, greatness is what reveals
- 22:31Speaker 19: itself when you attempt to formulate, when you attempt to
- 22:36Speaker 19: carefully articulate and live out what you believe to be true,
- 22:40Speaker 19: it just happens because there isn't anything more powerful than truth, right,
- 22:46Speaker 19: that's the antidote to suffering truth. If you ask yourself
- 22:54Speaker 19: instead of telling yourself, you know, what is it that
- 22:56Speaker 19: I could do to set things more right today that
- 23:00Speaker 19: I would actually do? It's usually some small thing because
- 23:04Speaker 19: you're not that disciplined, you know. Then you can go
- 23:06Speaker 19: do it, lay a disciplinary structure on yourself, get the
- 23:11Speaker 19: chaos in check, and then you can move towards the
- 23:15Speaker 19: state that's freer. Well, what happens if you don't treat
- 23:18Speaker 19: other people like they matter. Well, you lie to them,
- 23:21Speaker 19: you cheat them, you steal, you enter into impulsive relationships
- 23:26Speaker 19: with them. They can't trust you. That doesn't go anywhere.
- 23:29Speaker 7: They don't like you.
- 23:30Speaker 19: You end up alone at best and maybe like incarcerated
- 23:34Speaker 19: at worst. Like that doesn't work. And so you watch
- 23:38Speaker 19: the people around you who thrive regardless of what they say,
- 23:41Speaker 19: they act out the proposition that everyone matters. If you're
- 23:47Speaker 19: hungry and you eat, well, that's good, but it's over
- 23:50Speaker 19: and then you're onto the next thing. Right, it's not
- 23:52Speaker 19: exactly sustaining, it's just necessary. That's called consumatory reward. By
- 23:56Speaker 19: the way, this other reward system is incentive reward. Endive
- 24:00Speaker 19: reward system works on dopamine, this neurochemical dopamine, which is
- 24:03Speaker 19: also the neurochemical tracts that opiates and cocaine and amphetamines,
- 24:09Speaker 19: the drugs that people really like to abuse. Alcohol often
- 24:11Speaker 19: for some people activate. And so you might say, if
- 24:15Speaker 19: you don't have enough meaning in your life, then you're
- 24:17Speaker 19: more prone to addiction. And that's definitely the case even
- 24:21Speaker 19: with rats. If you take a rat, you put him
- 24:22Speaker 19: in a cage by himself, and he has nothing to do,
- 24:25Speaker 19: and then you give him access to cocaine, he'll get
- 24:27Speaker 19: addicted to the point where he won't do anything but
- 24:29Speaker 19: take cocaine. But if you throw the rat back in
- 24:31Speaker 19: with a bunch of other rats and he gets to
- 24:32Speaker 19: do rat things, then it's very hard to get him
- 24:35Speaker 19: addicted to cocaine. And so the purposeless rat is prone
- 24:38Speaker 19: to addiction. Well, it's the same with human beings. Kind
- 24:47Speaker 19: of have this idea that you have a certain delightful, wonderful,
- 24:51Speaker 19: positive freedom as a child, and then that's given up
- 24:54Speaker 19: as you approach adulthood. But the truth of the matter
- 24:57Speaker 19: is is that you have a lot of potent as
- 25:00Speaker 19: a child, but none of that is capable of manifesting
- 25:02Speaker 19: itself as freedom before you become disciplined. And discipline is
- 25:06Speaker 19: a matter of the imposition of order, and the order
- 25:08Speaker 19: is necessary especially for people who are hopeless and nihilistic.
- 25:11Speaker 19: And lots of people are hopeless and nihilistic, way more
- 25:15Speaker 19: people than you think, and part of that is because
- 25:17Speaker 19: no one's ever ready encouraged them. The magnitude of the
- 25:24Speaker 19: reward you experience as you're moving towards a goal is
- 25:27Speaker 19: proportionate to the importance of the goal. So that means
- 25:31Speaker 19: the more important the goal you pick, the more possibility
- 25:35Speaker 19: there is for the kind of reward. Let's say it's
- 25:39Speaker 19: really a state of being that is life affirming. And
- 25:44Speaker 19: it is directly life affirming in that you know, like
- 25:47Speaker 19: if you're in a football game and it's an important
- 25:49Speaker 19: football game, and maybe you break a finger, and you know,
- 25:52Speaker 19: normally that's a problem. It hurts, and you're going to
- 25:55Speaker 19: stop doing whatever you're doing. But if you're right in
- 25:57Speaker 19: the middle of the game, then you'll be so amped
- 26:00Speaker 19: up on this reward system that it's analgesic. It stops
- 26:03Speaker 19: the pain. It also suppresses anxiety. People that have extracted
- 26:11Speaker 19: unbelievable successes out of catastrophic failures and so and I'm
- 26:15Speaker 19: not saying that in a naive way. I know perfectly
- 26:18Speaker 19: well what happens to people. You know, you're doing fine
- 26:20Speaker 19: in life and then you get cancer, and then six
- 26:22Speaker 19: months later you're dead, and all the heroism in the
- 26:25Speaker 19: world isn't going to save you at that point. But
- 26:27Speaker 19: that's not the point. That's not the point. Life is
- 26:31Speaker 19: bounded by mortality. But that doesn't mean that you don't
- 26:33Speaker 19: get out there and contend and you develop by contending,
- 26:37Speaker 19: and you minimize the net amount of suffering in the world.
- 26:40Speaker 19: And that's something, man, that's something to do.
- 26:45Speaker 7: All Rather you hate me, it get better. They'll like
- 26:49Speaker 7: me if they're the same.
- 26:52Speaker 8: What do you stare?
- 26:54Speaker 20: What are you believe in?
- 26:56Speaker 9: A lot of us are bullet of most people back
- 27:00Speaker 9: in the day, and sometimes I'm still pullish. We think
- 27:04Speaker 9: that we're working on our ass off, working hard. You know,
- 27:07Speaker 9: we've been working out hard in the gym for a month,
- 27:10Speaker 9: but we haven't seen any results.
- 27:12Speaker 1: So we get off down the poop, be passed.
- 27:15Speaker 9: You're study for thirty minutes for a test and you
- 27:18Speaker 9: can't do as much stalk.
- 27:20Speaker 1: What do you expect You're not putting in the work?
- 27:24Speaker 7: You have to do more? Everything was What is your secret?
- 27:28Speaker 10: Man?
- 27:29Speaker 7: What's your secret about business?
- 27:31Speaker 8: What's your seeking about this?
- 27:32Speaker 7: What's your seeking about that? You don't want to answer.
- 27:36Speaker 21: The answer is you see his hands hard work man.
- 27:41Speaker 21: You have to look at suffering as almost like I
- 27:44Speaker 21: look at failure.
- 27:46Speaker 20: To succeed, you must fail.
- 27:51Speaker 22: Learn from yourself, learn from life, Learn from your failures,
- 27:54Speaker 22: learn from your insecurities, learn from your self.
- 27:56Speaker 7: Doubt the starting line.
- 28:01Speaker 23: We live in the world that's burying.
- 28:03Speaker 1: Aren't all hinted yet?
- 28:05Speaker 7: So who are you?
- 28:07Speaker 24: What are you staying for?
- 28:09Speaker 8: What do you believe?
- 28:10Speaker 25: Then there's a lot of successful people in this world
- 28:14Speaker 25: will still feel empty inside, and they wondered while they
- 28:18Speaker 25: still feel empty, say trying to make another million, two
- 28:23Speaker 25: three million, that's buy a new car, a new house,
- 28:26Speaker 25: new boat, that's by more of everything in the day,
- 28:29Speaker 25: it's still feel real empty inside.
- 28:31Speaker 8: For me, I wasn't even successful. I was feel empty.
- 28:36Speaker 21: So I was trying to hide.
- 28:37Speaker 26: My securities by doubts.
- 28:39Speaker 7: All was bullshit.
- 28:41Speaker 27: So I was trying to dress up a turn. And
- 28:45Speaker 27: when you try to dress to the turn, you're still
- 28:47Speaker 27: a turn. It's like a turkey. Get a turkey for Thanksgiving.
- 28:52Speaker 27: You don't know what you're doing. You cook that more
- 28:54Speaker 27: fout going inside and cleaning it out.
- 28:57Speaker 28: You got to clean the inside out, befo when you
- 29:00Speaker 28: start trussing up.
- 29:01Speaker 16: Same thing with life.
- 29:03Speaker 4: If you don't get inside your.
- 29:04Speaker 27: Soul, inside your heart and fix it, people.
- 29:07Speaker 8: Want to go to war with yourself.
- 29:16Speaker 21: It's not magic, it's literally you're gonna have to wake
- 29:20Speaker 21: up and you're gonna have to sit there and say,
- 29:22Speaker 21: today's gonna suck. And then when that day is over,
- 29:25Speaker 21: you're gonna wake up to get it.
- 29:26Speaker 14: Say yeah, the next day is gonna suck.
- 29:30Speaker 1: You're not putting in the work.
- 29:32Speaker 27: You have to do more.
- 29:35Speaker 22: And the only way to see who the baddest mother
- 29:37Speaker 22: is is to suffer.
- 29:39Speaker 28: You know, a lot of people don't like what I say.
- 29:42Speaker 28: A lot of people hate that comes. A lot of
- 29:44Speaker 28: people have a lot of things about me. I don't
- 29:46Speaker 28: get it. When you find out who you are, you
- 29:49Speaker 28: start living your life. Don't fit in, just feel the
- 29:53Speaker 28: same to fitting in your life, make sure that.
- 29:57Speaker 8: You have something to say.
- 29:58Speaker 7: Say it within the suffering.
- 30:01Speaker 21: Go in there, and I call it the live autopsy.
- 30:05Speaker 7: The live autopsy.
- 30:06Speaker 21: How you find out someone died, they crack you open
- 30:08Speaker 21: after you're dead.
- 30:10Speaker 1: How you can live is.
- 30:12Speaker 8: Do it while you're alive.
- 30:14Speaker 7: And the only.
- 30:14Speaker 29: Message I want to get across the people is.
- 30:18Speaker 7: Once you change one thing.
- 30:21Speaker 21: Your mindset, you can attack everything. Go back in your brain,
- 30:27Speaker 21: crack it open while you're alive. Don't wait until you're
- 30:31Speaker 21: dead to figure out why you died. Do it while
- 30:34Speaker 21: you are living. Go in there, go into the suffering,
- 30:38Speaker 21: go into the pain of your life, and say why
- 30:40Speaker 21: does this suck?
- 30:40Speaker 8: For me so bad?
- 30:42Speaker 7: Why am I afraid of all this stuff?
- 30:45Speaker 21: It's in these nooks of the suffering within your brain,
- 30:48Speaker 21: in the scarry are all the answers to why you
- 30:52Speaker 21: are on.
- 30:53Speaker 7: The couch feeling sorry for yourself.
- 30:56Speaker 9: You cant stop telling yourself that you're doing enough in life.
- 31:00Speaker 9: There's never enough until you feel this overwhelming feeling.
- 31:05Speaker 7: Oh man, I'm out.
- 31:07Speaker 9: Working the crowd, I'm out working everybody.
- 31:10Speaker 7: I'm doing more this.
- 31:12Speaker 9: Not until then, once you get there, that's when, if
- 31:15Speaker 9: you know you're put.
- 31:16Speaker 21: Enough in failure and in suffering, all the answers are
- 31:23Speaker 21: in there, all the answers to.
- 31:25Speaker 7: All the test questions.
- 31:26Speaker 21: The test is your life.
- 31:27Speaker 7: All the answers are in there.
- 31:29Speaker 21: You have to live in suffering and pain and failure
- 31:32Speaker 21: all the time.
- 31:33Speaker 7: You have to learn. I need to visit it.
- 31:36Speaker 21: Like people hate working out, You're only gonna visit working
- 31:39Speaker 21: out maybe an hour a day, twenty three other hours
- 31:43Speaker 21: of the day you're not in it. But how you
- 31:45Speaker 21: become in shape is you must visit suffering. Visit working
- 31:50Speaker 21: out one hour a day.
- 31:54Speaker 7: All I wanted people to do in my life.
- 31:57Speaker 22: I don't care about the money, I don't care about
- 31:59Speaker 22: the I don't care if you don't care, if all
- 32:01Speaker 22: my followers go away tomorrow.
- 32:04Speaker 7: I wanted a lot of.
- 32:06Speaker 21: People that doubted me to look like Apollo.
- 32:09Speaker 8: Creed did it in that fourteenth round.
- 32:11Speaker 22: Because I got back up, repeated me. And when you
- 32:17Speaker 22: keep on getting back up like that, no matter how
- 32:19Speaker 22: strong the person is that's beating looking out of you,
- 32:22Speaker 22: they eventually look at you and say, you know what,
- 32:25Speaker 22: I'm tired, and I just want people to be tired.
- 32:32Speaker 16: It's funny I walk around, people.
- 32:35Speaker 25: Come to me and say, man, that Navy seal, you
- 32:38Speaker 25: went through ranger school, your you.
- 32:41Speaker 29: Know, Air Force tac Pee. The funny thing about it
- 32:46Speaker 29: that I think about is this, they know that part
- 32:49Speaker 29: of me. This is the part I don't know about myself.
- 32:52Speaker 29: I felt the as Baptist to get the military three
- 32:54Speaker 29: times in the Air Force, throw that pair of rescue
- 32:58Speaker 29: and the seals. That took me three times to get
- 33:00Speaker 29: through Navy seal training.
- 33:02Speaker 7: This is what I know about me.
- 33:04Speaker 16: So I'm saying is this, you can't.
- 33:06Speaker 7: Live your life being afraid to fail.
- 33:09Speaker 25: All those failures made the success end of the day.
- 33:14Speaker 22: Most people who are failing are trying their fasts off.
- 33:20Speaker 29: I don't want to set out and say, oh, there's
- 33:22Speaker 29: an a for good stupid.
- 33:25Speaker 21: No, I want to turn it in a million times
- 33:27Speaker 21: and say you fail. You fail now, I said, okay,
- 33:29Speaker 21: Roger that and sit there and analyze.
- 33:32Speaker 8: What I'm doing wrong.
- 33:35Speaker 7: Never forget to train your your mind.
- 33:39Speaker 27: Make sure in life you do what you have to do,
- 33:42Speaker 27: say what you have to say, and live your life
- 33:45Speaker 27: that you have to live.
- 33:46Speaker 8: Don't walk rapping affects you be. Don't be scared to
- 33:49Speaker 8: be who you are.
- 33:52Speaker 14: Look at your audience who's criticizing you.
- 33:54Speaker 7: First of all, they're not even in your world.
- 33:57Speaker 5: Yes, you don't.
- 33:58Speaker 7: Even talk to me. Come out, go to.
- 34:01Speaker 21: These places that people don't go to anymore because all
- 34:04Speaker 21: this social media.
- 34:06Speaker 7: And everything's computerized.
- 34:08Speaker 21: I want to go to that dark place in my
- 34:10Speaker 21: mind said, okay, how are we gonna get this done?
- 34:18Speaker 22: When I was tours at ninety seven pounds and I
- 34:21Speaker 22: was bad as hell trying to be a Navy seal,
- 34:23Speaker 22: the scariest thing in the world to me, even to
- 34:25Speaker 22: this day, was that that could have been the rest
- 34:28Speaker 22: of my life.
- 34:32Speaker 8: I thought then I was trying.
- 34:34Speaker 22: Hard, and sometimes life is fucking hard. So when I
- 34:41Speaker 22: first joined the Navy.
- 34:43Speaker 9: I had to join the reserves because I couldn't get
- 34:45Speaker 9: an active duty because I was so fat.
- 34:47Speaker 7: So being a reservist, I.
- 34:49Speaker 9: Got tired of a lot of times a weekend warrior
- 34:51Speaker 9: in the reserves, you work one weekend a month, two
- 34:54Speaker 9: weeks a year. A lot of us live our lives
- 34:56Speaker 9: that way. We can't work out without purpose. The biggest
- 35:02Speaker 9: purpose in life and all that is how do.
- 35:04Speaker 30: You respect yourself?
- 35:06Speaker 7: How you look at yourself?
- 35:07Speaker 30: That said, every day for the.
- 35:08Speaker 22: Journey, you're not working your butt off hard enough.
- 35:12Speaker 8: You're not trying hard enough. We all think we're trying
- 35:15Speaker 8: hard but what.
- 35:16Speaker 7: Are you engaging that off.
- 35:17Speaker 1: Of in life?
- 35:20Speaker 9: Of Harmer's work a nass off trying to get to
- 35:24Speaker 9: a better place, a place that makes us feel better
- 35:26Speaker 9: about ourselves. But guess what happens once you get the
- 35:31Speaker 9: actual fucking event.
- 35:33Speaker 1: Your mind isn't ready.
- 35:35Speaker 7: Your mind's not prepared.
- 35:36Speaker 29: You've been studying, you've been training, you've been working out,
- 35:39Speaker 29: but your mind's not prepared.
- 35:40Speaker 8: Story for you.
- 35:41Speaker 29: When I was nineteen years old, is going through the
- 35:43Speaker 29: Air Force trying to be a pair of restaurant.
- 35:45Speaker 9: I was doing push up, sit ups, swimming. I was
- 35:47Speaker 9: all knocking out of the park. One of the best
- 35:49Speaker 9: in the class, but the second of obstacle guys. The way,
- 35:54Speaker 9: I wasn't prepared for it mentally, because every day you
- 35:58Speaker 9: should be.
- 35:59Speaker 7: Getting after it.
- 36:00Speaker 9: We look at determination, self disciplined, we look at hard work.
- 36:05Speaker 7: All these terms almost like we tread them.
- 36:07Speaker 8: It was like a punishment.
- 36:10Speaker 9: Those are the biggest words of all time as far
- 36:13Speaker 9: as respecting yourself, Trying hard.
- 36:17Speaker 7: Is something in your mind just doesn't stop.
- 36:24Speaker 21: Only those people who have been there a million times
- 36:28Speaker 21: in their minds and have suffered a million times and
- 36:32Speaker 21: realized my legs may break, my knee may break, and
- 36:38Speaker 21: accept that.
- 36:43Speaker 29: I know right now, whether you hate me, love me,
- 36:46Speaker 29: I'm gonna do this.
- 36:47Speaker 31: I'm a dad.
- 36:47Speaker 32: Whatever you want to think, I made it.
- 36:55Speaker 1: The Washington Bullets select Tyrone Vaults.
- 37:00Speaker 19: Or now they got to call up the shortest Tyrone
- 37:02Speaker 19: bulgsk is now the shortest player in the Young BA.
- 37:08Speaker 1: Tyrone Bugs from Wait.
- 37:10Speaker 14: For Us at the age of five. You know, I
- 37:13Speaker 14: got shot. Growing up in the city of Baltimore was challenging,
- 37:18Speaker 14: you know, as a kid. You know, it was a
- 37:20Speaker 14: lot of drug infested areas in our neighborhood, a lot
- 37:23Speaker 14: of shooting, a lot of violence. Unfortunately for me at
- 37:26Speaker 14: the age of five, you know, I got shot, you know,
- 37:28Speaker 14: being outside, being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
- 37:32Speaker 14: My mom and dad was going crazy, not knowing that
- 37:34Speaker 14: I was outside, and then knowing that, you know, I
- 37:37Speaker 14: was one of the kids laying out there with a
- 37:39Speaker 14: couple buckshots all of his body. Was very frightening and
- 37:43Speaker 14: scary for them as well as myself. But it was
- 37:50Speaker 14: it was our life, you know, it was a man
- 37:52Speaker 14: growing up. I mean, no one felt like that. No
- 37:55Speaker 14: one thought they have a life expected see past twenty,
- 37:58Speaker 14: you know, and which was very strange, you know, knowing
- 38:01Speaker 14: that that was the case. But that was the mindset
- 38:02Speaker 14: back then because we had a lot of guys at
- 38:05Speaker 14: a young age dime mainly because you know, they wanted
- 38:09Speaker 14: that fast money, They wanted to get into that world
- 38:12Speaker 14: a lot sooner, and they wanted to you know, possibly
- 38:14Speaker 14: take care of their family as well as to try
- 38:16Speaker 14: to provide for their you know, for their household. So
- 38:19Speaker 14: you know, people did all sorts of things in terms
- 38:21Speaker 14: of try to make ings, meats. But luckily that we
- 38:24Speaker 14: had a game called basketball and sports. You know, sports
- 38:27Speaker 14: was really a mechanism that kept us really at a
- 38:30Speaker 14: safe kept us where gave us a safe having place
- 38:33Speaker 14: to really feel comfortable. That was a way of keeping us,
- 38:36Speaker 14: you know, off the streets, keeping out mind, you know,
- 38:39Speaker 14: active in other areas as opposed to thinking about you know, hey,
- 38:42Speaker 14: it's time to try to you know, go over and
- 38:45Speaker 14: get fee of those quick dollars. You know, at that time,
- 38:47Speaker 14: I had no inklan or no idea that you know,
- 38:50Speaker 14: I wanted to pursued us as a career. You know,
- 38:52Speaker 14: it was just a hobby. It was just something that
- 38:54Speaker 14: I wanted to do. But unfortunately for me, you know,
- 38:57Speaker 14: being small and trying to player of sport that didn't
- 39:01Speaker 14: know at the time was supposed to have been meant
- 39:03Speaker 14: for a big or taller player. You know, got a
- 39:06Speaker 14: lot of criticism from it, you know, a lot of backlash,
- 39:10Speaker 14: a lot of name calling, you know, which could affect
- 39:12Speaker 14: which confidence. But at the beginning, you know, it was challenging.
- 39:16Speaker 14: It was tough. You know, many days, many nights going
- 39:19Speaker 14: home and just crying to my mom and just telling
- 39:21Speaker 14: her how cruel the kids are out there, and you
- 39:24Speaker 14: know how mean they were. I wanted it all, you know,
- 39:27Speaker 14: it wasn't just going to satisfy, satisfied with what someone
- 39:30Speaker 14: else had planned for me. You know, I wanted to
- 39:33Speaker 14: create my own destiny and I start to understand that
- 39:36Speaker 14: I was in position to do that. And you know,
- 39:38Speaker 14: when I became twelve and thirteen years old, you know,
- 39:41Speaker 14: words never matter. You know, it came to one day
- 39:43Speaker 14: out the other. You know, I was on the journey.
- 39:45Speaker 14: I was on my path trying to become this basketball
- 39:49Speaker 14: player that no one felt like he had any and
- 39:52Speaker 14: you know, any opportunity to do some little jokes, that's
- 39:55Speaker 14: that was out there. You know, she short. You know,
- 39:58Speaker 14: you need to be sitting on the curb, which feet
- 40:00Speaker 14: swinging off, or you know, we could put you in
- 40:02Speaker 14: the drawer when we're traveling. You know, as they said
- 40:05Speaker 14: growing up as a kid, when they say sticks and
- 40:07Speaker 14: stones may hurt your bones, words would never hurt you.
- 40:11Speaker 14: It's not true. Words will hurt you now they killing folks.
- 40:14Speaker 14: So words are very impowerful and you know that was
- 40:17Speaker 14: very deterrent at the time, but it didn't distract me
- 40:20Speaker 14: because your heart, you know and measure it pretty much
- 40:24Speaker 14: doesn't have a height to it, you know, pretty much
- 40:26Speaker 14: set the tone of who you are and which you're
- 40:27Speaker 14: able to accomplish, you know, And the height factor was
- 40:30Speaker 14: the game of basketball. So you know, my heart was
- 40:33Speaker 14: bigger than my height. So I didn't have no no
- 40:36Speaker 14: second or no no hang ups on or believing that
- 40:40Speaker 14: I belong with you know, the best of the best,
- 40:42Speaker 14: you know, because my heart was just as you know,
- 40:44Speaker 14: just as big as theirs. Things that happened happened to
- 40:47Speaker 14: me in my life allowed me to reflect, allow me
- 40:50Speaker 14: to resonate who I am, you know, especially when I
- 40:53Speaker 14: got shot. You know, those things became so clear in
- 40:57Speaker 14: terms of, hey, wasn't here, you know, so why I
- 41:02Speaker 14: have to worry about what someone else said that could
- 41:05Speaker 14: hurt me and deteriorate me from becoming who I want
- 41:08Speaker 14: to be. So you know, that changed my mindset. You know.
- 41:11Speaker 14: I remember early on when I used to go down
- 41:13Speaker 14: on the court with my basketball and hearing all the
- 41:15Speaker 14: words and hearing all the you know, the criticism about
- 41:18Speaker 14: me being short. But after I got shot, I remember
- 41:22Speaker 14: going back down there and hearing those same criticism about myself,
- 41:26Speaker 14: but they didn't have the same impact. You know, when
- 41:29Speaker 14: in one air out either. As I alluded to earlier,
- 41:31Speaker 14: everybody has some sort of opinion about who you are.
- 41:36Speaker 14: Don't give them that platform, don't give them the ammunition.
- 41:39Speaker 14: That's their opinion. I mean that it's true about who
- 41:42Speaker 14: you are, so you know anything is possible. Positive thinking
- 41:47Speaker 14: is also translated to that everything happened for a reason.
- 41:50Speaker 14: No regrets. All the negative things that happened. I'm thankful
- 41:54Speaker 14: for it because I learned. Hopefully I learned from those
- 41:57Speaker 14: situations and all the positive things. I'm humbly grateful that
- 42:02Speaker 14: those are able to take place, and still strive to
- 42:05Speaker 14: be the best I can be, and you know, going forward,
- 42:08Speaker 14: hopefully I cann Tarrison Kid to be the best they
- 42:10Speaker 14: can do. We all human beings treat one as you
- 42:13Speaker 14: will want to be treated.
- 42:25Speaker 33: You may be watching this right now and you have
- 42:28Speaker 33: these incredible ideas, and what you think is missing is motivation.
- 42:33Speaker 34: At some point, everything's going to go south on you.
- 42:36Speaker 34: Everything's going to go south, and you're going to say,
- 42:38Speaker 34: this is it, this is how I end.
- 42:42Speaker 10: Now.
- 42:42Speaker 34: You can either accept that or you can get to work.
- 42:47Speaker 7: That's all it is.
- 42:49Speaker 34: You just begin, you do the math. You solve one
- 42:53Speaker 34: problem and you solve the next one.
- 43:00Speaker 24: Four one hundred trillion to one. I just want everybody
- 43:02Speaker 24: to hear this. This is the reason I'm happy twenty
- 43:04Speaker 24: four to seven three sixty five for the rest of
- 43:06Speaker 24: my life. Four hundred trillion to one. The odds of
- 43:11Speaker 24: becoming a human being.
- 43:15Speaker 35: If you want to be a grosser or a general,
- 43:18Speaker 35: or a politician or a judge, you will invariably become it.
- 43:21Speaker 35: That is your punishment.
- 43:25Speaker 36: You can decide that you're going to stand up to life.
- 43:29Speaker 36: You can decide that I'm going to live each day
- 43:31Speaker 36: as if it.
- 43:32Speaker 7: Were not less.
- 43:34Speaker 33: They've crished the numbers on you being born. And do
- 43:37Speaker 33: you realize that the odds the odds of you at
- 43:43Speaker 33: the moment in time he was born to the parents
- 43:47Speaker 33: you were born to, with the DNA structure that you
- 43:49Speaker 33: have one and four hundred trillion.
- 43:56Speaker 35: If you never know what you want to be, if
- 43:59Speaker 35: you live what some might call the dynamic life, but
- 44:02Speaker 35: I will call the artistic life. If each day you
- 44:05Speaker 35: are unsure of who you are and what you know,
- 44:08Speaker 35: you will never become anything, and that is your reward.
- 44:12Speaker 37: If you can keep your head when all about you
- 44:16Speaker 37: are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you
- 44:20Speaker 37: can trust yourself when all men doubt you, but make
- 44:25Speaker 37: allowances for the adapting too. If you can wait and
- 44:29Speaker 37: not be tired by waiting or being lied about, don't
- 44:34Speaker 37: deal in lies or being hated, don't give hating one.
- 44:40Speaker 33: And four hundred trillion.
- 44:44Speaker 7: All day long.
- 44:45Speaker 33: You have ideas that could change your life, that could
- 44:48Speaker 33: change the world, that could change the way that you feel,
- 44:52Speaker 33: and what do you do with them?
- 44:56Speaker 8: Things we've worked the hardest for we value the most.
- 44:59Speaker 8: So I think you know the purpose of a goal
- 45:02Speaker 8: is not getting it anyway. The purpose goal, you know,
- 45:04Speaker 8: is who you become, well you become is going to
- 45:06Speaker 8: make you happy or going to make you sad. So
- 45:09Speaker 8: I'm not looking for an effortless approach.
- 45:12Speaker 14: It's too late to be scared.
- 45:18Speaker 19: Not had an encouraging bloody word, a real encouraging word
- 45:21Speaker 19: in their entire life. It just takes a little bit
- 45:24Speaker 19: of encouragement and care so that they're willing to accept
- 45:29Speaker 19: themselves straight to some degree and start trying. It's just
- 45:31Speaker 19: a catastrophe that that's so rare in their lives.
- 45:39Speaker 38: That if you're doing something that you're not totally committed to,
- 45:42Speaker 38: if you're doing something that you're not totally passionate about,
- 45:45Speaker 38: you're compromising yourself every day.
- 45:49Speaker 35: Some people want to do ultra racist.
- 45:51Speaker 16: They're starting to p R during training.
- 45:53Speaker 29: Some people want to be a lawyer or a medical student, so.
- 45:57Speaker 7: They're taking these practices.
- 45:58Speaker 29: I guess what happens to get the act event.
- 46:01Speaker 1: Your mind isn't ready.
- 46:03Speaker 7: Your mind's not prepared.
- 46:04Speaker 29: You've been studying, you've been training, you've been working out,
- 46:07Speaker 29: but your mind's not.
- 46:08Speaker 16: Prepared transforming the walls into doors, changing obstacles into opportunities.
- 46:50Speaker 33: By the time that they closed the second restaurant, it
- 46:52Speaker 33: was an eight hundred thousand dollars loss. I mean that
- 46:57Speaker 33: meant our entire home equity line gone right. It meant
- 47:01Speaker 33: kids call it. I get just choked up just thinking
- 47:03Speaker 33: about how terrifying it was. And so I found myself
- 47:07Speaker 33: at the age of forty one, just feeling like a
- 47:10Speaker 33: complete failure. Because the way that our minds are wired,
- 47:18Speaker 33: and the fact about human beings is that we are
- 47:22Speaker 33: not designed to do things that are uncomfortable or scary
- 47:26Speaker 33: or difficult. Our brains are designed to protect us from
- 47:30Speaker 33: those things, because our brains are trying to keep us
- 47:33Speaker 33: alive and in order to change, in order to build
- 47:36Speaker 33: a business, in order to be the best parent, the
- 47:38Speaker 33: best spouse to do all those things that you know
- 47:41Speaker 33: you want to do with your life, with your work,
- 47:43Speaker 33: with your dreams, You're going to have to do things
- 47:46Speaker 33: that are difficult, uncertain, or scary, which sets up this
- 47:51Speaker 33: problem for all of us. You're never gonna feel like it.
- 47:54Speaker 33: Motivations garbage. You only feel motivated to do the things
- 47:58Speaker 33: that are easy.
- 48:00Speaker 8: Right.
- 48:00Speaker 33: And at some point, I think we all hit that
- 48:03Speaker 33: moment in life where things just are not going how
- 48:06Speaker 33: you thought they would go. And what's amazing about those
- 48:10Speaker 33: moments is we all respond very differently.
- 48:15Speaker 39: I believe desire and will to win is everything. I
- 48:18Speaker 39: don't know why I'm like I am, but my butt's
- 48:20Speaker 39: always burning.
- 48:21Speaker 7: There's always something to say. A dag gumuch.
- 48:23Speaker 39: You're supposed to go far art gag gumuch. You're supposed
- 48:26Speaker 39: to be somebody. You're supposed to make.
- 48:28Speaker 7: A difference with your life.
- 48:29Speaker 39: What does the five hundred thousand doll of your person
- 48:32Speaker 39: do the fifty thousand all of your person doesn't do?
- 48:35Speaker 39: You look at the outside and study those two individuals.
- 48:38Speaker 7: Everything seems to be the same.
- 48:40Speaker 39: They both are the same sex, they both of the
- 48:42Speaker 39: same age, had the same train, the same positions, the
- 48:46Speaker 39: same contract, the same French benefits. They both are successful,
- 48:50Speaker 39: they work hard, they're good family people, make tough commitments.
- 48:54Speaker 7: But what's the difference.
- 48:55Speaker 39: What does the five hundred thousand all of your person
- 48:57Speaker 39: do the fifty thousand all of your person doesn't do.
- 49:00Speaker 39: He pays the price a little bit more, he works hard,
- 49:04Speaker 39: and a little bit more. He's loyal to the county
- 49:06Speaker 39: a little bit more. He bleeds in a little bit more.
- 49:09Speaker 39: He makes Mayne a little bit more. He saves Maney
- 49:12Speaker 39: a little bit more. If you want to win in
- 49:14Speaker 39: these United States, you got to be.
- 49:16Speaker 7: Tough and you can't quit.
- 49:18Speaker 40: I wore one branch manager down to the point that
- 49:22Speaker 40: he says to me, Gardner, based on persistence alone, We're
- 49:26Speaker 40: going to give.
- 49:26Speaker 33: You a shock because at some point we all bought
- 49:28Speaker 33: into this lie that you've got to feel ready in
- 49:34Speaker 33: order to change.
- 49:35Speaker 40: You know what you said, I couldn't do it, But
- 49:37Speaker 40: guess what I started two weeks.
- 49:39Speaker 33: We bought into this complete falsehood that at some point
- 49:45Speaker 33: you're going to have the courage, at some point you're
- 49:46Speaker 33: going to have the confidence, and it's total bullshit.
- 49:50Speaker 32: Maybe watching this.
- 49:51Speaker 33: Right now and you have these incredible ideas and what
- 49:55Speaker 33: you think is missing is motivation.
- 50:01Speaker 8: Failure is part of life. The difference for me, though,
- 50:04Speaker 8: is I'm look at failure as a stepping stone to success.
- 50:06Speaker 8: It's a speed bump.
- 50:07Speaker 19: Every time you learn something, you learn because something you
- 50:10Speaker 19: did didn't work, and that exposes you to the part
- 50:13Speaker 19: of the world that you don't understand. Every time you're
- 50:15Speaker 19: exposed to a part of the world that you don't understand,
- 50:17Speaker 19: you have the possibility of rebuilding the structures that you
- 50:21Speaker 19: use to interpret the world.
- 50:23Speaker 8: I know I'm going to fail, but it's not failure
- 50:25Speaker 8: if you learn something, and so every time I do,
- 50:28Speaker 8: it just becomes it becomes away from me and explain
- 50:31Speaker 8: to someone else what it takes.
- 50:33Speaker 19: That's often Whye's more important to notice that you're wrong
- 50:35Speaker 19: than it is to prove that you're right.
- 50:37Speaker 8: People don't value it, they don't fight.
- 50:39Speaker 38: For baby steps count too, as long as you go
- 50:43Speaker 38: on forward, and one day you add all those baby
- 50:45Speaker 38: steps up and you might be surprised the way you
- 50:48Speaker 38: can get to them.
- 50:49Speaker 19: People have an unbelievable capacity to face and overcome things
- 50:53Speaker 19: they don't understand, and not only that, that's essentially what
- 50:56Speaker 19: gives life its meaning. The Buddhists say life is suffering,
- 51:00Speaker 19: and you think, well, if that's the case, why bother
- 51:03Speaker 19: with it?
- 51:03Speaker 38: Well, now that we can see how short life really
- 51:06Speaker 38: can be, what are you going to do with.
- 51:08Speaker 31: The rest of your life?
- 51:12Speaker 7: That's a trigger. That's the biggest trigger that I.
- 51:16Speaker 14: Have ever experienced.
- 51:18Speaker 12: What are you going to do?
- 51:19Speaker 38: The rest of your cavalry ain't coming? Do you got
- 51:23Speaker 38: to do this yourself? Ain't no backup? Okay?
- 51:49Speaker 33: Is our minds are designed to stop you, at all
- 51:53Speaker 33: costs from doing anything that might hurt you. And the
- 51:58Speaker 33: way that that that that this all happens is it
- 52:02Speaker 33: all starts with something super subtle that none of us
- 52:05Speaker 33: ever catch and that is with this habit that all
- 52:09Speaker 33: of us have that nobody's talking about. We all have
- 52:12Speaker 33: a habit of hesitating. We have an idea, You're sitting
- 52:18Speaker 33: in a meeting, you have this incredible idea, and instead
- 52:21Speaker 33: of just you know, saying it, you stop and you hesitate. Now,
- 52:26Speaker 33: what none of us realize is that when you hesitate,
- 52:28Speaker 33: just that moment, that micro moment, that small hesitation, it
- 52:32Speaker 33: sends a stress signal to your brain. It wakes your
- 52:35Speaker 33: brain up, and your brain all of a sudden goes, oh,
- 52:36Speaker 33: wait a minute, why is he hesitating. He didn't hesitate
- 52:39Speaker 33: when he put on his killer spiky sneakers. He didn't
- 52:42Speaker 33: hesitate with the really cool track pants, he didn't hesitate
- 52:45Speaker 33: with an asset T shirt. Now he's hesitating to talk.
- 52:47Speaker 33: Something must be up. So then your brain goes to
- 52:49Speaker 33: work to protect you. It has a million different ways
- 52:52Speaker 33: to protect you. One of them is called the spotlight effect.
- 52:55Speaker 33: It's a known phenomenon where your brain magnifies risk why
- 52:59Speaker 33: to pull you away from something that it perceives to
- 53:01Speaker 33: be a problem. And so you can truly trace every
- 53:07Speaker 33: single problem or complaint in your life to silence and hesitation.
- 53:12Speaker 33: Those are decisions and what I do and what's changed
- 53:15Speaker 33: my life is waking up and realizing that motivations garbage.
- 53:19Speaker 33: I'm never going to feel like doing the things that
- 53:22Speaker 33: are tough for difficult or and certain are scari or new.
- 53:24Speaker 33: So I need to stop waiting until I feel like it.
- 53:27Speaker 33: And number two, I am one decision away from a
- 53:30Speaker 33: totally different marriage, a totally different life, a totally different job,
- 53:35Speaker 33: a totally different income, a totally different relationship with my kids.
- 53:40Speaker 33: Your life comes down to your decisions, and if you
- 53:43Speaker 33: change your decisions, you will change everything.
- 53:48Speaker 12: What makes life powerful and meaningful and substantive is the
- 53:54Speaker 12: exploration day.
- 53:58Speaker 33: You do what you love doing, and you do it well,
- 54:01Speaker 33: then everything should sort of fall into place.
- 54:03Speaker 12: If we were to live forever, we could be slow,
- 54:05Speaker 12: full and lazy and indifferent because we'd have forever to
- 54:10Speaker 12: get it straight. But the fact that the clock is
- 54:14Speaker 12: ticking puts a sense of urgency on each and every
- 54:18Speaker 12: one of us. And I know you're saying, well, i'm
- 54:20Speaker 12: twenty I don't need to hear Yeah, you do. You
- 54:22Speaker 12: need to hear that because you won't be twenty long.
- 54:25Speaker 41: So many of us choose our path out of fear,
- 54:28Speaker 41: disguised as practicality. What we really want seems impossibly out
- 54:33Speaker 41: of reach and ridiculous to expect, so we never dare
- 54:36Speaker 41: to ask the universe for it. I'm saying, I'm the
- 54:39Speaker 41: proof that you can ask the universe for it.
- 54:44Speaker 12: In a few months, you'll be twenty one and two
- 54:47Speaker 12: and three and four and five, and it's ticking on everybody.
- 54:51Speaker 12: Procrastination then becomes an enemy because we cannot afford to
- 54:55Speaker 12: procrastinate with a time that we.
- 54:58Speaker 20: Do not have.
- 55:00Speaker 12: Of us right now, are looking at where we are
- 55:02Speaker 12: with a certain degree of disdain, expecting to have gone
- 55:06Speaker 12: further than where we are. By now we look back
- 55:10Speaker 12: and wonder was I really a good steward of the
- 55:13Speaker 12: time that God gave me?
- 55:16Speaker 10: Imagine if you will be on your death thing and
- 55:20Speaker 10: standing around your fan, the ghost of the ideas, the dreams,
- 55:26Speaker 10: the abilities.
- 55:28Speaker 20: The talents given to you by life.
- 55:31Speaker 10: And then you, for whatever reason, you never acted.
- 55:33Speaker 14: On those ideas.
- 55:34Speaker 25: You never pursued that dream, you never use those talents.
- 55:37Speaker 10: We never saw your leadership, you never use your voice,
- 55:41Speaker 10: you never wrote that book.
- 55:42Speaker 36: And there they are standing around your fan, looking at
- 55:45Speaker 36: you with large angry eyes.
- 55:47Speaker 10: If we came to you, only you could have given
- 55:50Speaker 10: us life.
- 55:52Speaker 33: Now you must.
- 55:53Speaker 12: Guide with beauty for heaven did I really surmise.
- 56:00Speaker 16: Of my life?
- 56:04Speaker 8: And the question is.
- 56:07Speaker 42: If you die today, what ideas, what dreams, what abilities,
- 56:15Speaker 42: what talents, what gifts will.
- 56:18Speaker 8: Die with you?
- 56:27Speaker 12: The truth of the matter is, no matter how productive
- 56:30Speaker 12: you are, all of us have been guilty of wasting
- 56:33Speaker 12: days and wasting time and sometimes wasting opportunities along the way.
- 56:39Speaker 12: In fact, what makes you start to get wiser as
- 56:43Speaker 12: you get older is that as the sands begin to
- 56:47Speaker 12: fall more rapidly, and you begin to recognize that you're
- 56:51Speaker 12: running out of time. You begin to mark certain things
- 56:54Speaker 12: off of your list. I'm not gonna let that worry me.
- 56:57Speaker 12: I'm not gonna let that worry me. This was I'm
- 57:01Speaker 12: not gonna do that stupid thing again. I don't have
- 57:04Speaker 12: time to make that mistake. I've got to redeem the time.
- 57:08Speaker 12: I gotta make it count. I cannot mess this up.
- 57:12Speaker 12: My time becomes more valuable the boy it becomes limited.
- 57:18Speaker 41: My father could have been a great comedian, but he
- 57:20Speaker 41: didn't believe that that was possible for him, and so
- 57:23Speaker 41: he made a conservative choice.
- 57:25Speaker 1: Instead.
- 57:25Speaker 41: He got a safe job as an accountant, and when
- 57:28Speaker 41: I was twelve years old, he was let go from
- 57:30Speaker 41: that safe job, and our family had to do whatever
- 57:33Speaker 41: we could to survive.
- 57:35Speaker 43: Death is the destination we all share. No one has
- 57:38Speaker 43: ever escaped it, and that is as it should be,
- 57:42Speaker 43: because death is very likely the single best invention of life.
- 57:46Speaker 43: It's life's change agents. It clears out the old to
- 57:49Speaker 43: make way.
- 57:50Speaker 44: For the news.
- 57:51Speaker 43: Right now, the new is you, But someday, not too
- 57:55Speaker 43: long from now, you will gradually become the old and
- 57:58Speaker 43: be cleared away. Your time is limited, so don't waste
- 58:01Speaker 43: it living someone else's life.
- 58:04Speaker 19: Don't be trapped by dogman.
- 58:06Speaker 43: Which is living with the results of other people's thinking.
- 58:09Speaker 43: Don't let the noise of other's opinions drownd out your
- 58:12Speaker 43: own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to
- 58:16Speaker 43: follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what
- 58:20Speaker 43: you truly want to become. Everything else is second.
- 58:25Speaker 41: I learned many great lessons from my father, not the
- 58:28Speaker 41: least of which is that you're going to fail at
- 58:30Speaker 41: what you don't, so you might as well take a
- 58:33Speaker 41: chance on doing what you love.
- 58:35Speaker 12: What makes light powerful and meaningful and substantive is the
- 58:41Speaker 12: expiration day.
- 58:48Speaker 45: I have spent my whole life scared, frightened, might happen,
- 58:59Speaker 45: might not happen?
- 59:01Speaker 7: Fifty years I spent like that.
- 59:06Speaker 45: I need myself away to get three in the morning.
- 59:13Speaker 7: Do you know what?
- 59:16Speaker 31: Ever, since my diagnosis.
- 59:20Speaker 45: Nicely, just fine.
- 59:22Speaker 46: My history did not have to become my future.
- 59:26Speaker 47: For whatever reason, most people their associations are to avoid
- 59:30Speaker 47: anything that's uncomfortable. But it's so illogical because when you
- 59:35Speaker 47: look at comfort, and you look at success and progress
- 59:39Speaker 47: and the eventual the feelings accomplishment and of getting past
- 59:45Speaker 47: certain hurdles.
- 59:46Speaker 7: In terms of like how you feel about life.
- 59:49Speaker 47: A lot of those are connected to discomfort, Like discomfort
- 59:52Speaker 47: is your friend.
- 59:55Speaker 1: I was one who swam against the tide of what
- 59:59Speaker 1: is expected and what is but the establishment wants from us.
- 1:00:04Speaker 46: I begin to see the possibilities of not being where
- 1:00:08Speaker 46: I was.
- 1:00:10Speaker 38: What I came to realize, it's that fear that's.
- 1:00:15Speaker 7: The worst of it.
- 1:00:16Speaker 12: That's the real life.
- 1:00:17Speaker 30: I will stand, I will put both of my feet
- 1:00:20Speaker 30: in the ground, and I will.
- 1:00:22Speaker 48: Stamp with something, because if I don't standless something.
- 1:00:24Speaker 7: I'll fall for anything.
- 1:00:25Speaker 47: If you live your life just acting constantly on the
- 1:00:28Speaker 47: momentum of other people's expectations of you, wanting to be
- 1:00:32Speaker 47: liked by these other people, so get up, Get up
- 1:00:37Speaker 47: in the real world.
- 1:00:41Speaker 31: Here esteem.
- 1:00:47Speaker 14: We're gonna come.
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: Inch by inch, play by play.
- 1:00:53Speaker 14: So we're finished.
- 1:00:56Speaker 36: You are going to incurrent, incurrent a lot of discipline,
- 1:01:01Speaker 36: a lot of failure, a lot of pain, a lot
- 1:01:04Speaker 36: of setbacks, a lot of defeats.
- 1:01:11Speaker 10: But in a.
- 1:01:12Speaker 36: Process of doing that, you will discover some things about
- 1:01:16Speaker 36: yourself that you don't.
- 1:01:17Speaker 7: Know right now.
- 1:01:19Speaker 36: What you will realize is that you have greatness within you.
- 1:01:23Speaker 36: What you'll realize is that you are more powerful than
- 1:01:26Speaker 36: you can ever begin to imagine. What you will realize
- 1:01:30Speaker 36: is that you are greater than your circumstances.
- 1:01:33Speaker 10: That you don't have to go through life being a victim.
- 1:01:36Speaker 36: Was born in Miami, Florida, in an area called Liberty City,
- 1:01:41Speaker 36: in an abandoned building on a Hardnnolian floor. Someone's opinion
- 1:01:46Speaker 36: of you does not have to become your reality.
- 1:01:56Speaker 24: I mean, if you want this, if you want blingling,
- 1:01:58Speaker 24: if you want to buy the jets, how to do work,
- 1:02:01Speaker 24: that's how you get it.
- 1:02:04Speaker 7: How do you get money to do what you love?
- 1:02:05Speaker 24: You don't, Right, I lost a load of money when
- 1:02:08Speaker 24: I started doing what I loved. What you do is
- 1:02:11Speaker 24: you position yourself to succeed. So, for example, if you're
- 1:02:14Speaker 24: doing something else you and you want to do this
- 1:02:16Speaker 24: thing you love.
- 1:02:17Speaker 7: You do it after hours.
- 1:02:18Speaker 24: You work nine to six, you get home, you kiss
- 1:02:21Speaker 24: the dog, and you go to town. Right, I mean,
- 1:02:25Speaker 24: you start building your equity and your brand and whatever
- 1:02:27Speaker 24: you're trying to accomplish after hours. Everybody has time stop
- 1:02:31Speaker 24: watching lost. The reason people aren't patient is they value
- 1:02:37Speaker 24: other people's opinions too much. You need to bet on
- 1:02:40Speaker 24: your strengths and don't give a fi ab out where
- 1:02:43Speaker 24: you suck at. You're gonna way too many people in
- 1:02:45Speaker 24: this room are gonna spend the next thirty forty years
- 1:02:47Speaker 24: of their lives trying to check the boxes of the
- 1:02:49Speaker 24: things that they're not as good at, and that you're
- 1:02:51Speaker 24: gonna waste a load of time and lose. I highly
- 1:02:54Speaker 24: recommend auditing yourself, or if you have no empathy or
- 1:02:58Speaker 24: EQ or self away fareness and find somebody in your
- 1:03:01Speaker 24: family or friendship that does, and let them tell you
- 1:03:03Speaker 24: who you are. And once you believe that, either for
- 1:03:06Speaker 24: yourself or someone else told you, go directly all chips
- 1:03:10Speaker 24: all into that because that is the only possible way,
- 1:03:13Speaker 24: in my opinion, watching from the outside. That is, in
- 1:03:16Speaker 24: in phrase, that is a very highly likely way of
- 1:03:20Speaker 24: over indexing. Because the truth is, if you want to
- 1:03:23Speaker 24: be an anomaly, you've.
- 1:03:24Speaker 8: Got to act like.
- 1:03:27Speaker 24: I think there's massive confusion around entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship sucks. I mean,
- 1:03:32Speaker 24: it's lonely, it's high risk. I mean I can't.
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: Live without it.
- 1:03:36Speaker 24: But it's like a bad boyfriend, right or girlfriend, Like
- 1:03:39Speaker 24: it's there's a ton of bad days being an entrepreneur.
- 1:03:42Speaker 24: Not to mention, ninety eight percent of entrepreneur ventures are
- 1:03:44Speaker 24: gonna fail, so there's gonna be a really bad day.
- 1:03:47Speaker 14: In your future.
- 1:03:49Speaker 24: Ability to adjust is the entire game. Like, I'm so
- 1:03:52Speaker 24: proud that I change my mind every day. My dad
- 1:03:56Speaker 24: used to get so pissed when I was building wine library.
- 1:03:58Speaker 24: He would always be like, like you would say, like
- 1:04:01Speaker 24: three months ago, you said Ricky was gonna be the
- 1:04:03Speaker 24: best employee. I'm like, I changed my mind. He should
- 1:04:05Speaker 24: fire him, or or he's like you said sparkling wine
- 1:04:09Speaker 24: was important, Now you just eliminated it from the key spot.
- 1:04:11Speaker 24: I'm like, I changed my mind. Like, my ability to
- 1:04:14Speaker 24: only be comfortable in massive chaos has been my biggest
- 1:04:18Speaker 24: asset as an entrepreneur, Like I would never take a
- 1:04:21Speaker 24: note like that scares the piss out of me. What
- 1:04:23Speaker 24: these three people are doing right now. There should be
- 1:04:31Speaker 24: some sort of friction from somebody who's leading up in
- 1:04:34Speaker 24: front and sees everything and is driving a company versus
- 1:04:37Speaker 24: people that work in it who are in the like different.
- 1:04:40Speaker 24: Like my job is to be like, oh there's an iceberg,
- 1:04:43Speaker 24: I'm gonna move this way, and everybody who's downstairs is like,
- 1:04:46Speaker 24: what do you mean the water's been super clear.
- 1:04:48Speaker 7: The whole time.
- 1:04:48Speaker 24: I'm like, no, no, there's an iceberg. But they're in the basement.
- 1:04:53Speaker 24: They're like, it's been such a nice bride, Like this
- 1:04:55Speaker 24: has been so smooth. Leaders need to understand what's happening next.
- 1:05:01Speaker 24: There are a million reasons why not, but there's one
- 1:05:05Speaker 24: great reason why, which is you've just got to persevere.
- 1:05:09Speaker 49: No matter what it is.
- 1:05:10Speaker 7: It's just the way it is.
- 1:05:11Speaker 24: It's hard being an entrepreneur. It's hard building a business.
- 1:05:15Speaker 7: Everybody thinks it's so easy.
- 1:05:19Speaker 24: What really pissed me off in tech world was when
- 1:05:22Speaker 24: Steve Jobs' book came out when he was dying. When
- 1:05:24Speaker 24: it was all about Steve three or four years ago,
- 1:05:26Speaker 24: I literally watched a lot of my tech startup friends
- 1:05:29Speaker 24: start being like a to their staff because Jobs was tough.
- 1:05:34Speaker 24: Everybody fell into the romance of like, I have this
- 1:05:36Speaker 24: big vision and I'm gonna be a like Steve right.
- 1:05:40Speaker 24: And I thought that was really interesting for me to
- 1:05:42Speaker 24: watch that half decade of like literally watching people I
- 1:05:45Speaker 24: know and then watching them act differently because the status
- 1:05:49Speaker 24: or the icon of the moment and you see a
- 1:05:51Speaker 24: lot of that, and so like that is probably the
- 1:05:53Speaker 24: energy I'm trying to bring to this class today, which
- 1:05:55Speaker 24: is you can look at like how people roll and
- 1:05:58Speaker 24: like it's great to ad my and things of that nature,
- 1:06:01Speaker 24: but it's so damn important to stick to like your
- 1:06:05Speaker 24: DNA right and like what you're good at. In a
- 1:06:09Speaker 24: success world, please understand that success is happiness, not net
- 1:06:16Speaker 24: dollars in.
- 1:06:19Speaker 14: We are strongish, We're really strong.
- 1:06:23Speaker 24: We're just being sold that we're not because there's a
- 1:06:25Speaker 24: lot of money.
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: People always say that when.
- 1:06:32Speaker 7: The biggest epidemic.
- 1:06:34Speaker 24: In the world is people talking, not doing, and especially now,
- 1:06:39Speaker 24: and people always do that. But now, what social media
- 1:06:41Speaker 24: does is expose people. It doesn't change people. All the
- 1:06:44Speaker 24: hate in the system that's exposing. Twitter didn't make you evil,
- 1:06:47Speaker 24: You're evil, you know. And same with talking and not
- 1:06:51Speaker 24: doing Twitter. Instagram didn't make you waste time and not do.
- 1:07:04Speaker 24: In two thousand and one, it snowed in New Jersey
- 1:07:09Speaker 24: on December twenty third, which was one of the busiest
- 1:07:12Speaker 24: days of the year. Typically December twenty third is the
- 1:07:15Speaker 24: busiest day of the year. In a liquor store, and
- 1:07:19Speaker 24: a woman called us which just started shipping, and her
- 1:07:22Speaker 24: case of Behringer white Zifandel wasn't delivered. First of all,
- 1:07:26Speaker 24: I appreciate the people that know what baronod White Zenn is.
- 1:07:28Speaker 7: Good job.
- 1:07:30Speaker 24: The entire case, by the way, fifteen pack. The entire
- 1:07:33Speaker 24: fifteen pack case cost forty five dollars. We're doing about
- 1:07:42Speaker 24: forty thousand dollars an hour in the store.
- 1:07:44Speaker 7: She calls.
- 1:07:48Speaker 24: I find out about it. Somehow it was buzzing because
- 1:07:50Speaker 24: I was on the floor selling. I am the premier
- 1:07:52Speaker 24: salesman on the floor, as you can imagine. I find
- 1:07:55Speaker 24: out about it and we're debating what to do.
- 1:07:57Speaker 7: She needs it for her Christmas dinner.
- 1:08:00Speaker 24: I grabbed the case, throw it in my car and
- 1:08:03Speaker 24: drive to Bergen County to deliver it. It takes me two
- 1:08:06Speaker 24: and a half hours to complete the whole thing. And
- 1:08:08Speaker 24: the best part was I delivered it all pumped with
- 1:08:10Speaker 24: myself and she said great and close the door.
- 1:08:13Speaker 7: Awesome.
- 1:08:14Speaker 24: Everybody, especially my dad, who was pissed that I left
- 1:08:19Speaker 24: because all the customers that came in asking for me,
- 1:08:22Speaker 24: or that I could.
- 1:08:22Speaker 7: Have sold everybody who's baffled.
- 1:08:25Speaker 24: I can't tell you what the ROI of driving through
- 1:08:30Speaker 24: the snow in my car to deliver a case of
- 1:08:34Speaker 24: forty five dollars pink to a woman that looked like
- 1:08:37Speaker 24: Yoda was. But I can tell you this, over the
- 1:08:41Speaker 24: next two to three years, that story became the foundation
- 1:08:44Speaker 24: of how we treated every single customer. It became our
- 1:08:48Speaker 24: competitive edge. And those are the things that matter to me.
- 1:08:57Speaker 24: You need to do you like some twenty people that
- 1:09:01Speaker 24: make a load more money than me and one bigger
- 1:09:03Speaker 24: take notes the key the key, though the key is
- 1:09:07Speaker 24: way too many people are doing.
- 1:09:10Speaker 32: Like here's a good one.
- 1:09:11Speaker 24: You know what really pissed me, the bof I'm completely
- 1:09:15Speaker 24: driven by like happiness and like I'm crippled by like chaos,
- 1:09:18Speaker 24: Like I think I've fired for most talented, smartest people
- 1:09:21Speaker 24: that have worked for me, Because if you don't know
- 1:09:23Speaker 24: how to play with the other boys and girls, you're
- 1:09:24Speaker 24: out because I suffocate under you know, conflict and negativity
- 1:09:30Speaker 24: and like nobody's better than me, So you gotta go.
- 1:09:36Speaker 24: Building a business is hard, and you know what makes
- 1:09:39Speaker 24: it really hard everything that happens every day of every moment.
- 1:09:43Speaker 24: So you can pick time, you can pick money as
- 1:09:47Speaker 24: the one or two things that you think stop you
- 1:09:49Speaker 24: from winning your game. But the truth is there's a
- 1:09:52Speaker 24: million reasons. Ninety nine percent of businesses go out of
- 1:09:55Speaker 24: business for a reason, and that reason is it's hard.
- 1:09:59Speaker 24: And so if you're watching this show, I've got a
- 1:10:02Speaker 24: sense of who you are, and you need to start
- 1:10:04Speaker 24: creating layers and layers and layers and layers of skin
- 1:10:09Speaker 24: to be able to get through.
- 1:10:13Speaker 7: I'm a humongous.
- 1:10:14Speaker 24: Believer that ideas are and that executions the game. Right.
- 1:10:18Speaker 24: We've all got ideas. Everybody's got ideas.
- 1:10:21Speaker 7: Do you any ideas?
- 1:10:22Speaker 19: We all have here.
- 1:10:23Speaker 32: We could probably sit here for the next two.
- 1:10:24Speaker 24: Hours, draw them all out, record them, and predict the
- 1:10:27Speaker 24: next seventy eight great startups over the next nine years.
- 1:10:31Speaker 24: And so I think the thing that is another theme
- 1:10:36Speaker 24: in entrepreneurship is there is way too much fodder brought
- 1:10:40Speaker 24: to the idea. Hoober was magic Cab three years earlier.
- 1:10:45Speaker 7: Remember, is not an idea.
- 1:10:46Speaker 24: Lumber existed, It's called magic Cab. But the guys that
- 1:10:50Speaker 24: executed it sucked, so they lost. So I think, you know,
- 1:10:55Speaker 24: if there's any level of romance left in this room
- 1:10:57Speaker 24: about your idea, I'd like to suffocate it because I
- 1:11:00Speaker 24: think the actual situation is what you actually do with it.
- 1:11:07Speaker 32: If you do anything.
- 1:11:08Speaker 24: Because of this keynote, There's only one thing I ask
- 1:11:10Speaker 24: you to do, because as Zenny as I got, I'm
- 1:11:12Speaker 24: a practical Here's what I want from you. When you
- 1:11:15Speaker 24: go home, look yourself in a mirror and audit everything
- 1:11:18Speaker 24: you and your business do. I promise you that if
- 1:11:21Speaker 24: you audit from top to bottom of expenses and effort
- 1:11:24Speaker 24: and time and energy and payroll and all that.
- 1:11:27Speaker 32: If you audit all of.
- 1:11:28Speaker 24: It, even the best of us, even the in BEVs,
- 1:11:31Speaker 24: which is the company that bought Budweiser, they build their
- 1:11:33Speaker 24: whole business. I'm like printing on both sides and the
- 1:11:34Speaker 24: paper and all that work. Even the most efficient ones
- 1:11:37Speaker 24: of us are doing twenty percent dungeon. If you take
- 1:11:42Speaker 24: that eight percent, that thirteen percent, that's sixteen percent of
- 1:11:46Speaker 24: dump that you're doing paying that person that's not bringing
- 1:11:49Speaker 24: any cultural value to your business, having that contract that
- 1:11:52Speaker 24: you've just been in and you just renew because your busiest,
- 1:11:55Speaker 24: whatever you're doing, if you take any piece of that
- 1:11:58Speaker 24: percentage and you apply it to giving up about your customer,
- 1:12:02Speaker 24: it will be better for your business going forward. Because
- 1:12:04Speaker 24: for the first time since we all lived in small
- 1:12:06Speaker 24: towns where your reputation was the complete backbone of how
- 1:12:10Speaker 24: you did business for the first time, because technology is
- 1:12:13Speaker 24: putting us back together in a small town for the
- 1:12:16Speaker 24: first time. Being good and caring and following up matters.
- 1:12:25Speaker 9: You gotta drink that new norm, but have to.
- 1:12:28Speaker 8: Be your lifestyle.
- 1:12:30Speaker 9: You are the master of your own mind.
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: Drake that masterpiece be brought yourself very all.
- 1:12:39Speaker 50: We've kind of lost touch with the cultural narratives around
- 1:12:43Speaker 50: death that gave it some meanings, So now when it happens,
- 1:12:45Speaker 50: it's just this absurd, scary thing that we don't know.
- 1:12:48Speaker 16: What to do with.
- 1:12:49Speaker 50: The only narrative we have that we have absorbed, I
- 1:12:51Speaker 50: guess is that of the brave battle that someone's fighting.
- 1:12:57Speaker 31: If you're going to try goolay otherwise, don't even start.
- 1:13:04Speaker 50: That this is this is when we can bring our
- 1:13:06Speaker 50: if we have the opportunity to bring our stories to
- 1:13:08Speaker 50: some kind of ending. Won't your film or read a
- 1:13:11Speaker 50: book that final scene makes sense of everything that's happened before.
- 1:13:15Speaker 50: This doesn't happen in life. Author of us stories more
- 1:13:20Speaker 50: than at any point before death.
- 1:13:25Speaker 31: If you are going to try go all the way,
- 1:13:29Speaker 31: this could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives, jobs, and maybe
- 1:13:37Speaker 31: your mind.
- 1:13:40Speaker 50: Main characters are our loved ones. Or the doctors or
- 1:13:42Speaker 50: people making all these decisions, and we kind of get sidelined.
- 1:13:48Speaker 31: Go all the way. It could mean not eating for
- 1:13:53Speaker 31: three or four days. It could mean freezing on a
- 1:13:57Speaker 31: path bench. It could mean jail, It could mean derision, mockery, isolation,
- 1:14:07Speaker 31: Isolation is the gift.
- 1:14:10Speaker 19: It's not okay for you to be weak, loser. It's
- 1:14:13Speaker 19: not okay. And the reason it's not okay is because
- 1:14:16Speaker 19: you could be way more than that, and it's a crime,
- 1:14:19Speaker 19: an ethical crime, for you to allow all that necessary
- 1:14:23Speaker 19: potential to go to waste. It hurts you, it hurts
- 1:14:27Speaker 19: your family, hurts the world, really really it does.
- 1:14:40Speaker 31: All the others are a test of your endurance, of
- 1:14:44Speaker 31: how much you really want to do it, and you'll
- 1:14:48Speaker 31: do it despite rejection and the worst odds.
- 1:14:55Speaker 51: Now, when I was fifteen years old, I at a
- 1:14:57Speaker 51: very important person in my life coming to me and say,
- 1:14:59Speaker 51: who's your hero? I said, I don't know.
- 1:15:00Speaker 7: I got to think about that.
- 1:15:01Speaker 19: Give me a couple of weeks.
- 1:15:02Speaker 7: I come back. Two weeks later, this person comes up
- 1:15:03Speaker 7: and says, he's your hero.
- 1:15:04Speaker 51: I said, I thought about it.
- 1:15:05Speaker 7: You know who it is?
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: I said, it's me.
- 1:15:07Speaker 51: In ten years so I turned twenty five. Ten years later,
- 1:15:10Speaker 51: that same person comes me and goes, so are you
- 1:15:12Speaker 51: a hero?
- 1:15:12Speaker 9: And I was like, not even close.
- 1:15:14Speaker 51: No, no, no, she said, why, I said, because my
- 1:15:17Speaker 51: hero is me at thirty five. So you see, every day,
- 1:15:19Speaker 51: every week, every month, and every year in my life.
- 1:15:21Speaker 7: My hero is always ten years away.
- 1:15:22Speaker 37: I'm never gonna be my hero.
- 1:15:24Speaker 7: I'm not gonna pain.
- 1:15:25Speaker 51: That I know I'm not, and that's just fine with
- 1:15:27Speaker 51: me because that keeps me with somebody to keep on chasing.
- 1:15:35Speaker 9: The only person I can really order account one was
- 1:15:37Speaker 9: myself the second I stopped.
- 1:15:38Speaker 25: Later people and later myself, I change.
- 1:15:43Speaker 31: It will be better than anything else you can imagine.
- 1:15:48Speaker 31: If you're going to try go the way, there is
- 1:15:53Speaker 31: no other feeling like that. You will be alone with
- 1:15:59Speaker 31: the gun, and the knights will flame with fire. Do it,
- 1:16:08Speaker 31: do it, do it, do it all the way, all
- 1:16:19Speaker 31: the way. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter.
- 1:16:26Speaker 31: It's the only good fight there is.
- 1:16:50Speaker 52: Tomorrow, they said, but tomorrow never came for them. It
- 1:17:04Speaker 52: never came.
- 1:17:11Speaker 19: It's easy to sit on the edge of your bed
- 1:17:14Speaker 19: and to think there are things I'm doing, there are
- 1:17:17Speaker 19: things I'm not doing that I should be doing, that
- 1:17:20Speaker 19: I could and would do small things. You don't want
- 1:17:29Speaker 19: to get grandioaks, but you can start to improve your
- 1:17:35Speaker 19: life incrementally by eliminating those things that are self evidently
- 1:17:40Speaker 19: making you bitter and miserable. But you have to decide
- 1:17:43Speaker 19: that that's what you want. You're willing to burn off
- 1:17:46Speaker 19: that dead wood, to sacrifice that bitterness and that unhappiness,
- 1:17:51Speaker 19: even though you may feel that you're justified in harboring it.
- 1:17:56Speaker 19: You may even be justified in harboring it because people
- 1:17:58Speaker 19: have very hard life and sometimes they're very badly mistreated.
- 1:18:03Speaker 19: You need to think it's okay if things improve, and
- 1:18:07Speaker 19: it would be worthwhile for me to start to abandon
- 1:18:10Speaker 19: those things that I'm doing that I know to be
- 1:18:12Speaker 19: harmful to myself.
- 1:18:20Speaker 47: Every single person who has ever done anything worthwhile or
- 1:18:26Speaker 47: exceptional or difficult or extraordinary, anyone, whether it's great artists
- 1:18:33Speaker 47: or authors or mathematicians, everyone encounters difficulties. There is no
- 1:18:39Speaker 47: easy road. It does not exist. It is impossible. Everyone
- 1:18:44Speaker 47: has issues. When you come up with excuses for why
- 1:18:47Speaker 47: other people are successful and you're not. We all go
- 1:18:55Speaker 47: through hard times.
- 1:18:56Speaker 19: We all go through depression, We go.
- 1:18:58Speaker 47: Through doubt and moments in your life where it's really
- 1:19:03Speaker 47: difficult and you're trying to figure out what your path
- 1:19:05Speaker 47: is going to be.
- 1:19:06Speaker 7: It's hard. That is what makes you a person.
- 1:19:09Speaker 47: And those difficult moments are what build your character. Show
- 1:19:12Speaker 47: me a great man, who's the son of a great man.
- 1:19:15Speaker 47: These kids that are born billionaires, you're never going to
- 1:19:19Speaker 47: be a self made person.
- 1:19:25Speaker 1: If I want to be successful, I do it right now.
- 1:19:30Speaker 1: Stop talking about the future and do it now. Tomorrow
- 1:19:36Speaker 1: may never come. Action is in the mind. You don't
- 1:19:41Speaker 1: need everything to be in a perfect position to get started.
- 1:19:46Speaker 1: If you want to open a business, you can do
- 1:19:48Speaker 1: it right now. You can start writing the business plan.
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: You can start the research and working the numbers. Businesses
- 1:19:57Speaker 1: start with an idea. They do not start on opening day.
- 1:20:03Speaker 1: Businesses start with an idea. They do not start on
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: opening day. We get caught up in the Hollywood film
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: version of opening a business, but it isn't reality. You
- 1:20:17Speaker 1: don't arrive on day one and start serving customers in
- 1:20:21Speaker 1: the shop front on Main Street.
- 1:20:23Speaker 19: You start way before that.
- 1:20:29Speaker 1: I speak to so many lost young men with dreams
- 1:20:33Speaker 1: and aspirations of opening companies and businesses, but all of them,
- 1:20:38Speaker 1: without fail are waiting for the perfect situation to start.
- 1:20:42Speaker 1: They are waiting for savings to accumulate, they are waiting
- 1:20:46Speaker 1: for the right economy, but it will never be the
- 1:20:50Speaker 1: right time to start, so you might as well get
- 1:20:53Speaker 1: started now.
- 1:20:57Speaker 20: The wind may be glowing the wrong way, it may
- 1:21:00Speaker 20: be rainy, it may be an economic crisis, but whatever
- 1:21:05Speaker 20: is going on, you must get going.
- 1:21:12Speaker 53: This is still an awesome life. There's still a lot
- 1:21:14Speaker 53: of awesome shit to do. And don't think that you
- 1:21:17Speaker 53: don't have opportunity. Consistency will knock the shit out of
- 1:21:21Speaker 53: motivation every time.
- 1:21:23Speaker 7: It's nice to have someone.
- 1:21:24Speaker 53: Say that you're great or whatever, but like to be
- 1:21:26Speaker 53: totally honest, it never really matters to me.
- 1:21:28Speaker 7: I'm not great. I just work really hard. I just
- 1:21:31Speaker 7: hang on. I don't give up.
- 1:21:39Speaker 53: Something I wanted to mention here is I hear people
- 1:21:43Speaker 53: talking about how they have a hard time with consistency,
- 1:21:47Speaker 53: and sometimes they have.
- 1:21:48Speaker 7: A hard time with motivation. A good way to handle
- 1:21:51Speaker 7: motivation is to eliminate it as a factor.
- 1:21:56Speaker 53: Sometimes the greatest decision you can make is no decision.
- 1:22:00Speaker 53: Times the easiest thing to do when you struggle with
- 1:22:03Speaker 53: something is to abstain from it. You have a drug addiction,
- 1:22:07Speaker 53: you have a sex addiction, you have a food addiction.
- 1:22:11Speaker 7: Fasting.
- 1:22:14Speaker 53: Not allowing yourself to make any choices eliminates a lot
- 1:22:18Speaker 53: of the confusion and struggle and poor decision making skills
- 1:22:24Speaker 53: that you tend to make each and every day with
- 1:22:26Speaker 53: your food because you're fatigued, you're stressed, and so on.
- 1:22:34Speaker 7: The same thing is true with motivation. If we just don't.
- 1:22:38Speaker 53: Really worry about how motivated we are and we just
- 1:22:42Speaker 53: go and do, then that kind of settles out. You're
- 1:22:47Speaker 53: already in it, you're already on it, you're already after it,
- 1:22:51Speaker 53: you're already going right now.
- 1:22:54Speaker 7: How do you get someone to do that?
- 1:22:57Speaker 53: That's the tough part, But it ain't that harm because
- 1:23:00Speaker 53: I got advices for you.
- 1:23:02Speaker 7: Here's what I would do. Here's what I would suggest.
- 1:23:07Speaker 53: Things need to have a very strong You always need
- 1:23:11Speaker 53: a strong foundation. And if you have a strong foundation,
- 1:23:13Speaker 53: that's always something you can pivot back off of. Again,
- 1:23:17Speaker 53: if you don't have something strong, you got something wobbly.
- 1:23:20Speaker 53: It's not gonna really work in the long term. Because
- 1:23:23Speaker 53: work in the short term, which is cool because you
- 1:23:25Speaker 53: can get your momentum towards your goals. But we need
- 1:23:28Speaker 53: stuff that's gonna really work in the long term, And
- 1:23:31Speaker 53: what's gonna work in the long term is.
- 1:23:35Speaker 7: To just have a schedule. Try to have a schedule.
- 1:23:40Speaker 53: Even if you don't feel like that you're not. Let's
- 1:23:43Speaker 53: just say you don't feel like you're an organized person.
- 1:23:46Speaker 53: Let me just share something with you guys about that.
- 1:23:51Speaker 53: I don't feel like I'm an organized person, but I'm
- 1:23:54Speaker 53: a lot more organized today than I've ever been in
- 1:23:56Speaker 53: my life. And some people may identify me as not
- 1:24:00Speaker 53: being very organized.
- 1:24:02Speaker 7: But if you had to do.
- 1:24:03Speaker 53: The shit that I did in a day, your mother
- 1:24:06Speaker 53: head would be spinning two. And look, I'm not complaining.
- 1:24:13Speaker 53: This is stuff that I choose to do.
- 1:24:14Speaker 14: Right.
- 1:24:16Speaker 7: Changing your dialogue is really important.
- 1:24:18Speaker 53: And changing the message you give yourself. So if you
- 1:24:21Speaker 53: don't feel like you're an organized person, that's okay. It's
- 1:24:24Speaker 53: okay to identify that as a weakness. But that doesn't
- 1:24:27Speaker 53: mean that you can't learn it. And that doesn't mean
- 1:24:29Speaker 53: that we can't get on a schedule, and that doesn't
- 1:24:31Speaker 53: mean that we can't get on point, and that doesn't
- 1:24:33Speaker 53: mean we can't build consistency, because consistency will knock the
- 1:24:37Speaker 53: shit out of motivation every time.
- 1:24:39Speaker 7: It will knock the shit out of motivation every time.
- 1:24:42Speaker 53: If we can build consistency, we ain't got to worry
- 1:24:44Speaker 53: about how fired up.
- 1:24:45Speaker 7: We are to we'll do something. You can be in
- 1:24:47Speaker 7: a good mood, you can be in a bad mood.
- 1:24:49Speaker 7: You could be in a sad mood, you could be
- 1:24:51Speaker 7: in a shit mood.
- 1:24:52Speaker 53: You can find out the worst thing and you will
- 1:24:55Speaker 53: just shrug it off and be like, this is what
- 1:24:56Speaker 53: I'm doing. That's the way I handle my workouts is
- 1:25:07Speaker 53: I just scheduled them. We're doing this, and like they're
- 1:25:11Speaker 53: not scheduled like weeks out. You know, for some of you,
- 1:25:14Speaker 53: you may want to try to, you know, have a
- 1:25:17Speaker 53: specific routine.
- 1:25:19Speaker 7: I don't really love routine, but I do flourish on it.
- 1:25:22Speaker 7: I'll admit that.
- 1:25:24Speaker 53: And I think that's probably true with everybody everyone. Probably
- 1:25:28Speaker 53: you know, there's a reason why the military works the
- 1:25:31Speaker 53: way that it does and why they're able to produce
- 1:25:33Speaker 53: leaders the way that they are because there's a routine
- 1:25:36Speaker 53: involves and people respond really well to routine. Look at
- 1:25:40Speaker 53: how broken a lot of the people are that go
- 1:25:42Speaker 53: into the military, and look how strong they are sometimes
- 1:25:44Speaker 53: when they come out, and we all admire that, Right,
- 1:25:48Speaker 53: what did they do that's special.
- 1:25:51Speaker 7: They exercised really hard.
- 1:25:53Speaker 53: Right, they got on a schedule, and we're we're all,
- 1:25:58Speaker 53: you know, amazed at the disc of them, and like, man,
- 1:26:02Speaker 53: how do they stay so motivated. It's not there's no motivation.
- 1:26:06Speaker 53: It's a schedule. It's a routine. We're doing this.
- 1:26:09Speaker 7: And then we're doing that.
- 1:26:11Speaker 53: I have never experienced military training. I have never experienced
- 1:26:15Speaker 53: what it would be like. But I can only imagine
- 1:26:19Speaker 53: everybody kind of knows what their schedule is. If you're
- 1:26:23Speaker 53: having a hard time with consistency with your training right
- 1:26:27Speaker 53: down when you want to train the day before, twenty
- 1:26:33Speaker 53: four hours ahead of time, so whenever you're done with
- 1:26:36Speaker 53: your last training session, whenever you're done with your last
- 1:26:41Speaker 53: training session, if you finish a training session at four pm,
- 1:26:45Speaker 53: and you're like, you know what, I'd really love to
- 1:26:46Speaker 53: train tomorrow morning.
- 1:26:47Speaker 7: I love to train at like six and see what
- 1:26:49Speaker 7: that feels like. Write it down. None of this may
- 1:26:53Speaker 7: be bullshit, None of this.
- 1:26:55Speaker 53: Hey, you know what, if I'm feeling it, I'm gonna
- 1:26:56Speaker 53: go and I'm gonna go give it hell.
- 1:26:58Speaker 7: None of that shit that is bullshit.
- 1:27:02Speaker 53: Understand that myself and many other you know, quote unquote
- 1:27:06Speaker 53: fitness professionals, fitness gurus or whatever you want to call
- 1:27:10Speaker 53: people understand that we hate it sometimes too, and we
- 1:27:14Speaker 53: don't want.
- 1:27:14Speaker 4: To do it.
- 1:27:14Speaker 53: Sometimes too, we love it, and I realize, look, there's
- 1:27:18Speaker 53: other there's way worse things to cry about in this
- 1:27:20Speaker 53: world than going in and doing a hard training session.
- 1:27:22Speaker 53: So I'm not trying to be a bitch about it.
- 1:27:25Speaker 53: I'm not trying to be a baby about it. I'm
- 1:27:27Speaker 53: very grateful for the life that I have, and I'm
- 1:27:29Speaker 53: very grateful that we have the freedom in this country
- 1:27:33Speaker 53: where I can go, I can go play weightlifter for
- 1:27:35Speaker 53: the day, I can go play powerlifter for the day.
- 1:27:37Speaker 53: I can go, you know, exercise and pretend to be
- 1:27:40Speaker 53: a bodybuilder or whatever. Right Like, would it make I mean,
- 1:27:44Speaker 53: that's something that you should all realize, right Like, You're
- 1:27:47Speaker 53: people talking a lot about gratitude.
- 1:27:49Speaker 7: Well, I'm very grateful.
- 1:27:51Speaker 53: I have a lot of gratitude towards that fact. Everyone's
- 1:27:55Speaker 53: life is a little different. People have different people have
- 1:27:59Speaker 53: different amounts of money and different things like that. But
- 1:28:02Speaker 53: this is still an awesome life. There's still a lot
- 1:28:04Speaker 53: of awesome shit to do. And don't think that you
- 1:28:07Speaker 53: don't have opportunity. You have many of the same.
- 1:28:11Speaker 7: Exact opportunities that I have or anybody else. It always
- 1:28:16Speaker 7: seems like the Rock is on cloud nine, right.
- 1:28:19Speaker 53: It seems like he has so much right. But what
- 1:28:22Speaker 53: does he have? He probably has great people around him.
- 1:28:26Speaker 53: It seems like he has a great significant other. It
- 1:28:29Speaker 53: seems like he has a great family. It seems like
- 1:28:32Speaker 53: he has a great job. We all have the same
- 1:28:36Speaker 53: exact right towards happiness as the Rock does. We all
- 1:28:43Speaker 53: possess the ability to be just as happy as him.
- 1:28:47Speaker 53: Are you picking up when I'm putting down? Are you
- 1:28:48Speaker 53: downloading this shit? Are you on page forty three because
- 1:28:53Speaker 53: that's the page that you need to be on?
- 1:28:54Speaker 14: Why?
- 1:28:55Speaker 53: Because I've said so, We're on page forty three. That's
- 1:28:58Speaker 53: the page that we're on. Page rollies on whenever on
- 1:29:01Speaker 53: any other page, because we got to be on the
- 1:29:05Speaker 53: same page. Class guys, write it down, Write shit down,
- 1:29:11Speaker 53: write shit down. I don't like to write stuff down,
- 1:29:13Speaker 53: but I respond really well to it. How do you
- 1:29:18Speaker 53: make yourself accountable? And find a training partner and text
- 1:29:22Speaker 53: them say four am. I just means see you tomorrow
- 1:29:25Speaker 53: at four am. You have to be there at four
- 1:29:26Speaker 53: am And what happens when you miss? The guy calls
- 1:29:29Speaker 53: you a chump, The guys like, dude, what's all this
- 1:29:32Speaker 53: four am talk?
- 1:29:37Speaker 8: You know?
- 1:29:37Speaker 53: If you want to get on point, you want to
- 1:29:38Speaker 53: get on schedule, then create a schedule.
- 1:29:41Speaker 7: Write one down.
- 1:29:42Speaker 53: Why would you miss an eleven am workout if you
- 1:29:44Speaker 53: planned your day around it?
- 1:29:45Speaker 7: Like, what a stupid thing that is?
- 1:29:47Speaker 8: Right?
- 1:29:51Speaker 53: But everyone's always looking for their pre workout to do
- 1:29:53Speaker 53: something great for them. And what about the pre workout
- 1:29:56Speaker 53: that happens on your own, the food you ingest, the
- 1:30:01Speaker 53: planning that you do.
- 1:30:02Speaker 7: Think about how empowering this is.
- 1:30:04Speaker 53: You know, I think everyone's always just waiting for somebody
- 1:30:07Speaker 53: to do something for them. I think a lot of
- 1:30:09Speaker 53: people are waiting, and I'm guilty. This is the only
- 1:30:13Speaker 53: reason why I'm ever able to speak on any of
- 1:30:15Speaker 53: this stuff. So please don't ever think that I'm some
- 1:30:18Speaker 53: pompous asshole. I only know how to speak on things
- 1:30:22Speaker 53: because I am a failure. I am the biggest failure
- 1:30:25Speaker 53: you will ever meet. I have messed up many times.
- 1:30:28Speaker 53: My mindset has been broken and poor, and I've made
- 1:30:31Speaker 53: bad decisions. I've done bad things to bad people. I'm
- 1:30:35Speaker 53: never going to get claim to be special.
- 1:30:38Speaker 7: But I am proud. I'm proud of the things that
- 1:30:41Speaker 7: I've worked on.
- 1:30:41Speaker 53: I'm proud of the things that I've worked towards. Think
- 1:30:47Speaker 53: about how power empowering this is, though, Right, I could
- 1:30:50Speaker 53: say something to you, right, we could meet.
- 1:30:54Speaker 7: I can say, hey, man, dude, you look.
- 1:30:57Speaker 53: Like you look like you can lift a how you know,
- 1:31:00Speaker 53: and maybe that.
- 1:31:01Speaker 7: Uplifts you and you get excited because you've been training
- 1:31:04Speaker 7: really hard for a long time. Right, Sometimes things.
- 1:31:06Speaker 53: Like that they last a while, and sometimes from the
- 1:31:10Speaker 53: right person, and then this happens to me still this day,
- 1:31:13Speaker 53: I get a compliment from somebody I admire. It feels great,
- 1:31:17Speaker 53: you know, it feels great when somebody tells you look
- 1:31:19Speaker 53: good or it's a good feeling. Right, somebody says, wow,
- 1:31:23Speaker 53: I can't believe it looks like you've lost about twenty pounds.
- 1:31:26Speaker 53: You've been losing weight, and you're like, yeah, actually I did,
- 1:31:29Speaker 53: It's about eighteen pounds. Things are going really good.
- 1:31:31Speaker 7: I'm feeling really good.
- 1:31:33Speaker 53: Or a friend of mine shared with me more recently,
- 1:31:35Speaker 53: he thought he grew up thinking that he was ugly.
- 1:31:40Speaker 7: What a horrible thing to.
- 1:31:41Speaker 53: Do, right, What a horrible thing to put on yourself.
- 1:31:43Speaker 53: He thought he was ugly, he had like vanity issues.
- 1:31:46Speaker 53: And one day a girl said, hey, me and a
- 1:31:51Speaker 53: bunch of my friends think you look like so and so.
- 1:31:53Speaker 53: It's a famous actor and they said, we think you're
- 1:31:57Speaker 53: really cute.
- 1:31:58Speaker 7: And he was floored by that, and he.
- 1:32:01Speaker 53: Was just so excited by that to helped build momentum
- 1:32:04Speaker 53: really for the rest of his life. What changed though,
- 1:32:07Speaker 53: when that person said that what changed? Nothing changed? Nothing changed? Right,
- 1:32:14Speaker 53: Like everything changed because he made changes because this dialogue
- 1:32:19Speaker 53: in his head, His mindset shifted.
- 1:32:22Speaker 7: He couldn't believe that somebody is that. Somebody said that
- 1:32:26Speaker 7: to him, But isn't that crazy?
- 1:32:28Speaker 53: Like nothing actually changed, nothing physical change, He didn't do
- 1:32:33Speaker 53: anything different. It's it's your own inner speaking to yourself.
- 1:32:39Speaker 7: The way that you treat yourself. And I think we
- 1:32:42Speaker 7: are really rude and disgusting to ourselves. We say a
- 1:32:46Speaker 7: lot of mean shit to ourselves.
- 1:32:48Speaker 53: We put ourselves down a lot, which I actually think
- 1:32:51Speaker 53: put yourself down here in there is actually effective. Telling
- 1:32:54Speaker 53: yourself you're too fat, telling yourself you're too skinny, telling
- 1:32:57Speaker 53: yourself that you want to make you, telling you things
- 1:33:00Speaker 53: that you have control over and that you're gonna do
- 1:33:03Speaker 53: something about it. I think that's healthy. But I always
- 1:33:07Speaker 53: also say never kicked the down opponent. Never kick a
- 1:33:11Speaker 53: downed opponent. Someone's down, you never kick them. Let's say
- 1:33:17Speaker 53: you have somebody that's out of shape. Say you have
- 1:33:22Speaker 53: somebody that can only perform they can only do one
- 1:33:26Speaker 53: push up. They make a decision one day and they say,
- 1:33:30Speaker 53: you know what, put themselves in the mirror. They say, self,
- 1:33:34Speaker 53: you know what, you're out of shape, and you really haven't.
- 1:33:39Speaker 53: Let's not feel bad about it, because, if we're being
- 1:33:42Speaker 53: honest about it, you haven't done anything about it.
- 1:33:45Speaker 7: Right.
- 1:33:46Speaker 53: It would be like if I went to go play
- 1:33:47Speaker 53: baseball one day and I struck out a bunch of times.
- 1:33:49Speaker 7: And I'm really really frustrated that I've struck out.
- 1:33:52Speaker 53: Well, when's the last time I played baseball? How much
- 1:33:55Speaker 53: have I been working on that. I haven't been working
- 1:33:58Speaker 53: on it, so I shouldn't be frustrated about it. If
- 1:34:04Speaker 53: you really haven't been working on trying to be less fatterist,
- 1:34:09Speaker 53: then you.
- 1:34:09Speaker 7: Shouldn't be sad about being fat.
- 1:34:11Speaker 53: I'm not saying you should be proud about it either,
- 1:34:15Speaker 53: but you shouldn't be sad about it.
- 1:34:17Speaker 7: You should plan an attack about it if a person
- 1:34:23Speaker 7: is out of shape.
- 1:34:24Speaker 53: And they make a decision to go to the gym
- 1:34:26Speaker 53: and they can only do one push up, and then
- 1:34:29Speaker 53: a couple of little you.
- 1:34:30Speaker 7: Know, a couple of days go by, they hit the
- 1:34:32Speaker 7: gym again. Boom, they hit the gym again. They hit
- 1:34:34Speaker 7: the gym again. They're like, man, I had to try.
- 1:34:37Speaker 53: Those push ups. I really suck at those push ups.
- 1:34:39Speaker 53: Now they can do two push ups. Now they can
- 1:34:42Speaker 53: do three push ups. Now they can do five push ups.
- 1:34:46Speaker 53: That'll be the most empowering thing that probably ever happens
- 1:34:50Speaker 53: to some people, because you want to know why, because
- 1:34:53Speaker 53: some people never get one pat on.
- 1:34:55Speaker 7: The back their entire life.
- 1:34:57Speaker 53: It's nice to have someone say that you're great or whatever. Like,
- 1:35:00Speaker 53: to be totally honest, it never really matters to me.
- 1:35:03Speaker 53: I always think it's kind of weird you're great, Like, well,
- 1:35:07Speaker 53: I'm not.
- 1:35:08Speaker 7: But I'm like great, Like that's a weird thing to say.
- 1:35:12Speaker 7: I'm not great. I just work really hard. I just
- 1:35:15Speaker 7: hang on. I don't give up. And a lot of
- 1:35:19Speaker 7: it has to do with my upbringing. I say this
- 1:35:22Speaker 7: every day.
- 1:35:22Speaker 53: I have two awesome parents, I have an awesome brother.
- 1:35:27Speaker 53: I grew up with two awesome brothers. One died, my
- 1:35:31Speaker 53: oldest brother.
- 1:35:31Speaker 7: He died. He you know, he was addicted to drugs.
- 1:35:35Speaker 7: He was addicted to alcohol. He was addicted to all
- 1:35:37Speaker 7: kinds of crazy stuff. But I think the most dangerous
- 1:35:40Speaker 7: thing that he was addicted to is addicted to all
- 1:35:42Speaker 7: the wrong shit. They couldn't figure out a way to
- 1:35:45Speaker 7: be happy. Even though he was famous, even though.
- 1:35:47Speaker 53: He was a professional wrestler.
- 1:35:50Speaker 7: He got in the ring with the Undertaker, with Brett Hart,
- 1:35:54Speaker 7: He got in the ring with just.
- 1:35:55Speaker 53: About every single top level guy from that era you
- 1:36:00Speaker 53: could think of. He was a Division one football player.
- 1:36:03Speaker 53: He did all kinds of cool stuff, but he couldn't
- 1:36:05Speaker 53: find a thing that eludes so many You couldn't find
- 1:36:09Speaker 53: that inner piece because he couldn't earn self respect because
- 1:36:15Speaker 53: he knew he was making mistakes and he felt like
- 1:36:17Speaker 53: he had no control over.
- 1:36:18Speaker 7: A lot of them. You're not alone and feeling that way.
- 1:36:23Speaker 53: There's millions of people that feel that way. And I
- 1:36:25Speaker 53: cannot think of one other way that you can fix
- 1:36:28Speaker 53: that without going in the gym and lifting some weights,
- 1:36:31Speaker 53: Because you're not going to get that in a boardroom.
- 1:36:34Speaker 53: You're not going to get that at work. You're not
- 1:36:37Speaker 53: going to get that from selling insurance. You're not going
- 1:36:40Speaker 53: to get that from selling advertising. You're not going to
- 1:36:44Speaker 53: get that from Instagram.
- 1:36:46Speaker 7: You're not going to get that from Facebook.
- 1:36:48Speaker 53: You're not going to get that from social media period.
- 1:36:51Speaker 7: You're not going to get that from YouTube.
- 1:36:54Speaker 53: You need in real life hugs and you know, in
- 1:36:57Speaker 53: real life smooches and in real life hands being put
- 1:37:01Speaker 53: together for you and for some of you that don't
- 1:37:08Speaker 53: feel like you have got one person in your corner
- 1:37:11Speaker 53: that does shit for you. We're almost always all fortunate
- 1:37:14Speaker 53: to have like one person. There's always like one mentor
- 1:37:18Speaker 53: in there. I'm a believer that everyone ends up with
- 1:37:21Speaker 53: one Even when they have the people that they want
- 1:37:25Speaker 53: to love them don't love them, they end up in
- 1:37:27Speaker 53: somebody's hands that do love them enough.
- 1:37:30Speaker 7: So you got that one person, So you got that
- 1:37:32Speaker 7: one reason to kind of hang on, hang on for yourself,
- 1:37:35Speaker 7: hang on for at least that one person.
- 1:37:37Speaker 53: You can make yourself proud, and by making yourself proud,
- 1:37:41Speaker 53: it will be the most powerful.
- 1:37:42Speaker 7: Thing that you ever do.
- 1:37:44Speaker 53: You're not trying to compare yourself to other people. You
- 1:37:47Speaker 53: can try to compare yourself to your former self and
- 1:37:50Speaker 53: not comparing yourself.
- 1:37:51Speaker 7: To where people are right now. It's this is you
- 1:37:54Speaker 7: versus you. As Elliott Holt says, the war has begun.
- 1:37:59Speaker 53: It certainly has, and it's a war against yourself every
- 1:38:03Speaker 53: single day because if we can gain self respect, and
- 1:38:08Speaker 53: we can earn.
- 1:38:08Speaker 7: Self respect, self respect has to be earned. It's not
- 1:38:12Speaker 7: something that's ever going to be given out.
- 1:38:15Speaker 53: If you go to the gym and when you started
- 1:38:16Speaker 53: on day one you can only do one push of it,
- 1:38:18Speaker 53: now you can do ten.
- 1:38:20Speaker 7: You earn that, and that's not anything that could be outsourced.
- 1:38:23Speaker 7: I can't be handed to you. I can't be purchased.
- 1:38:27Speaker 7: It can't be bought. I mean, dreams are dreams, but
- 1:38:30Speaker 7: goals are different.
- 1:38:31Speaker 53: Goals are things that you know are going to happen,
- 1:38:34Speaker 53: that you know you're capable of, and you want to
- 1:38:36Speaker 53: know what.
- 1:38:38Speaker 7: There's no reason to.
- 1:38:39Speaker 53: Be overly concerned or worried about them because they're going
- 1:38:41Speaker 53: to happen. Because everything that you need is inside of.
- 1:38:44Speaker 7: You already to get you there. You're already there.
- 1:38:47Speaker 53: And some of the things that you accomplished, maybe you're
- 1:38:49Speaker 53: not that proud of some of them, but I bet.
- 1:38:51Speaker 7: You there's a bunch of stuff that you are pretty
- 1:38:53Speaker 7: proud of lean on your strengths. Everyone's always talking about
- 1:38:56Speaker 7: working on your weaknesses.
- 1:38:57Speaker 53: What about working on your strengths and amplify those, doubling
- 1:39:01Speaker 53: and tripling down on those, and when you are able
- 1:39:06Speaker 53: to build.
- 1:39:07Speaker 7: Momentum, you're gonna recognize this.
- 1:39:09Speaker 53: You're gonna recognize and understand that people that are put
- 1:39:12Speaker 53: in places to run things, you're be in charge of
- 1:39:15Speaker 53: things are They're.
- 1:39:15Speaker 7: Not any smarter than you, They're not any different than you.
- 1:39:18Speaker 7: They're probably dumber than you.
- 1:39:21Speaker 53: The only way to grow is to go through shit
- 1:39:23Speaker 53: that's hard and shit that's difficult. And you're gonna go
- 1:39:27Speaker 53: through hard shit anyway in your day to day.
- 1:39:31Speaker 7: You're gonna go through tough shit in your.
- 1:39:33Speaker 53: Day to day stuff anyway, regardless of what you do
- 1:39:36Speaker 53: or how you do it.
- 1:39:37Speaker 7: There's gonna be good things, there's gonna be bad things.
- 1:39:39Speaker 54: You're gonna go through all kinds of stuff in your life.
- 1:40:18Speaker 55: It's very simple. This is what I believe, and I'm
- 1:40:25Speaker 55: willing to die for it.
- 1:40:27Speaker 8: Period.
- 1:40:28Speaker 7: It's that simple.
- 1:40:32Speaker 48: You can't be scared to die.
- 1:40:36Speaker 31: For the truth.
- 1:40:38Speaker 55: The truth is the only thing that's ever going to be.
- 1:40:40Speaker 23: Constant, the only thing that I see that is distinctly
- 1:40:49Speaker 23: different about.
- 1:40:50Speaker 7: Me, is I'm not afraid to die on a treadmill.
- 1:40:55Speaker 23: You might have more talent than me, you might be
- 1:40:58Speaker 23: smarter than me.
- 1:40:59Speaker 7: But if we get on the treadmill together, there's two things.
- 1:41:04Speaker 23: You're getting off first, or I'm gonna die.
- 1:41:07Speaker 7: It's really that simple.
- 1:41:11Speaker 23: You're not going to outwork me. It's it's a it's
- 1:41:15Speaker 23: a very It's such a simple basic concept.
- 1:41:22Speaker 7: The guy who is willing.
- 1:41:24Speaker 48: To hustle the most is going to be the guy
- 1:41:28Speaker 48: that just gets that loose bomb. You know, he tell
- 1:41:30Speaker 48: you got to do he got that, Oh okay, he
- 1:41:32Speaker 48: got to Oh god, he huzzlly grabbed out one dad.
- 1:41:35Speaker 8: It was gonna be out of bounds.
- 1:41:36Speaker 7: But he said back then.
- 1:41:38Speaker 23: It's like the commodity that I see. The majority of
- 1:41:42Speaker 23: people who aren't getting the places they want or aren't
- 1:41:47Speaker 23: achieving the things that they want in this business is
- 1:41:51Speaker 23: strictly based on hustle.
- 1:41:53Speaker 7: It's strictly based.
- 1:41:54Speaker 48: On being outwork is strictly based on missing crucial opportunities.
- 1:41:59Speaker 23: I say all the time, if you stay ready, you
- 1:42:01Speaker 23: ain't got to get ready.
- 1:42:06Speaker 55: Greatness is not this.
- 1:42:09Speaker 7: Wonderful, esoteric, elusive.
- 1:42:13Speaker 55: Godlike feature that only the special among us will ever taste.
- 1:42:20Speaker 55: You know, it's something that truly exists in all of us.
- 1:42:28Speaker 7: I want to do good. I want the world to
- 1:42:31Speaker 7: be better because I was here.
- 1:42:33Speaker 12: I want my life, I.
- 1:42:35Speaker 11: Want my work, my family.
- 1:42:38Speaker 23: I want it to mean something, and it's like it has.
- 1:42:41Speaker 23: If you're not making someone else's life better.
- 1:42:45Speaker 7: Then you're wasting your time.
- 1:42:47Speaker 23: You know, like your life will become better by making
- 1:42:51Speaker 23: other lives better. The first step before anybody else in.
- 1:42:59Speaker 14: The world believes it is.
- 1:43:00Speaker 8: You have to believe it.
- 1:43:02Speaker 48: There's no reason to have a plan deep as a
- 1:43:04Speaker 48: distraction plan act.
- 1:43:08Speaker 8: I realized that to have the level of success.
- 1:43:12Speaker 56: That I want to have, it's difficult.
- 1:43:14Speaker 7: To spread it out and do multiple things.
- 1:43:17Speaker 57: It takes such a desperate, obsessive focus.
- 1:43:21Speaker 7: It really got to focus with all your.
- 1:43:23Speaker 23: Fiber and all your heart and all your creativity. I've
- 1:43:34Speaker 23: never really viewed myself as particularly talented.
- 1:43:38Speaker 11: Where I excel is ridiculous, sickening work ethic. You know,
- 1:43:47Speaker 11: while the other guy's sleeping, I'm working. While the other
- 1:43:50Speaker 11: guy's eating, I'm working.
- 1:43:55Speaker 48: The road to success is through commitment and through the
- 1:44:01Speaker 48: strength to drive through that commitment. When it gets hard,
- 1:44:05Speaker 48: and it is gonna get hard, and you're gonna want
- 1:44:07Speaker 48: to quit sometimes, but it'll be colored by who you
- 1:44:11Speaker 48: are and more who you want to be.
- 1:44:16Speaker 23: Being realistic is the most commonly traveled road to mediocrity.
- 1:44:21Speaker 7: Why would you be realistic? What's the point of being realistic?
- 1:44:25Speaker 8: I'm gonna do it.
- 1:44:26Speaker 7: It's done. It's already done the second I decided it's done.
- 1:44:28Speaker 7: It's already done. Now we just got to wait for y'allnesty.
- 1:44:33Speaker 48: I'm motivated by fear fear, you know, uh, fear of.
- 1:44:40Speaker 8: That fear of fear.
- 1:44:42Speaker 56: I hate being scared to do something.
- 1:44:46Speaker 58: And I think what developed in my in my early
- 1:44:49Speaker 58: days was the attitude that I started attacking things that
- 1:44:56Speaker 58: I was scared of.
- 1:45:00Speaker 57: H I don't want to be uh an icon. I
- 1:45:05Speaker 57: want to be an idea, you know. I want to
- 1:45:08Speaker 57: represent an idea. I want to represent possibilities. I want
- 1:45:13Speaker 57: to represent magic.
- 1:45:15Speaker 48: Right that you're in a universe and two plus two
- 1:45:19Speaker 48: equals four, two plus two only equals four.
- 1:45:23Speaker 56: If you accept the two plus two equals for two
- 1:45:26Speaker 56: plus two is gonna be what I want it.
- 1:45:27Speaker 12: To be, you know.
- 1:45:29Speaker 48: And there's a there's a like there's a there's a
- 1:45:32Speaker 48: redemptive power that making a choice has. You know, rather
- 1:45:39Speaker 48: than feeling like you're at effect to all the things
- 1:45:43Speaker 48: that are happening, make a choice, like you just decide
- 1:45:49Speaker 48: what it's going to be, who you're going to be,
- 1:45:52Speaker 48: how you're going to do it. Just decide, and then
- 1:45:55Speaker 48: from that point the universe is going to get out
- 1:45:58Speaker 48: your way. It's like it's water once it wants to
- 1:46:01Speaker 48: move and go around stuff, you know. So for me,
- 1:46:05Speaker 48: I want to represent possibilities.
- 1:46:08Speaker 7: I want to represent.
- 1:46:09Speaker 57: The idea that you really can make what you want me.
- 1:46:15Speaker 44: And you know, if they're going to be here, then
- 1:46:18Speaker 44: if there's a necessity to make a difference.
- 1:46:21Speaker 7: I feel very strongly that we are who we choose
- 1:46:25Speaker 7: to be.
- 1:46:26Speaker 59: As the child, my parents always told me you could
- 1:46:28Speaker 59: be whatever you want to be, you could do whatever
- 1:46:30Speaker 59: you want to do. And you know that that office,
- 1:46:34Speaker 59: that position, the highest office on the face of the earth.
- 1:46:40Speaker 26: It was something I heard my parents saying it, but
- 1:46:43Speaker 26: I didn't totally believe it yet.
- 1:46:44Speaker 56: I went out in the world and I.
- 1:46:45Speaker 26: Carried myself and I held my head high, and I
- 1:46:48Speaker 26: stood there and I look people in their eyes, and
- 1:46:50Speaker 26: I talk to people as if I was deservant of
- 1:46:53Speaker 26: everything that this planet has to offer.
- 1:46:55Speaker 7: This one year about had a shop and.
- 1:46:59Speaker 56: He decided or whatever reason, that he wanted a new
- 1:47:03Speaker 56: wall on the front of his shop.
- 1:47:05Speaker 7: So he tore down probably about you know.
- 1:47:08Speaker 48: Sixteen feet high and probably about thirty feet long.
- 1:47:13Speaker 30: He just completely tore the wall down, and my brother
- 1:47:16Speaker 30: and I had to beat a six foot hole. We
- 1:47:18Speaker 30: would mixing the concrete and by hand. We were building
- 1:47:21Speaker 30: this wall for a year and a half, every.
- 1:47:23Speaker 7: Day after school coming it's a concrete quick oh doing it.
- 1:47:27Speaker 30: And it was just myself and my little brother, and
- 1:47:30Speaker 30: I remember standing back looking at that wall, saying, there's
- 1:47:34Speaker 30: gonna be a hole here forever. Year and a half later,
- 1:47:37Speaker 30: we laid the final brick down, and my father stood
- 1:47:42Speaker 30: back and he looked at me, and my brother said,
- 1:47:44Speaker 30: they don't John, never tell me that you can't do something,
- 1:47:47Speaker 30: and walked into the shop.
- 1:47:49Speaker 7: And I learned very young, you don't try to build
- 1:47:53Speaker 7: a wall. You don't set out to build a wall.
- 1:47:57Speaker 30: You don't see annythint build the biggest, greatest wall that's
- 1:48:01Speaker 30: ever been built. You don't start there, you say, I'm
- 1:48:05Speaker 30: going to lay this brick as perfectly as a brick
- 1:48:09Speaker 30: can be laid, there will not be one brick on
- 1:48:12Speaker 30: the face of the earth as we would be laid
- 1:48:13Speaker 30: better than this brick. And I'm going to lay in
- 1:48:15Speaker 30: this next ten minutes. And you do that every single day,
- 1:48:19Speaker 30: soon you have a wall. And I think psychologically, the
- 1:48:23Speaker 30: advantage that that gives me over a lot of people
- 1:48:27Speaker 30: that I come have been in competition with in different
- 1:48:30Speaker 30: situations is it's difficult to take the first step when
- 1:48:34Speaker 30: you look how big, because the task, the task is
- 1:48:38Speaker 30: never huge to me.
- 1:48:40Speaker 44: We didn't grow up with the sense that where we
- 1:48:44Speaker 44: were was where we were going to be, you know.
- 1:48:47Speaker 44: We grew up with the sense that where we were
- 1:48:50Speaker 44: almost didn't.
- 1:48:51Speaker 58: Matter because we were becoming, we were becoming something greater.
- 1:48:58Speaker 48: The greatest thing in my career has been the constant
- 1:49:04Speaker 48: commitment to putting something in the world of value, not
- 1:49:09Speaker 48: putting something in the world that makes me look high.
- 1:49:12Speaker 14: You're not so.
- 1:49:14Speaker 48: I think as long as you can stay focused on
- 1:49:16Speaker 48: delivering your art and delivering yourself and delivering your energy
- 1:49:20Speaker 48: and delivering your ideas for.
- 1:49:23Speaker 60: The world to be better, difference between depression and joy right,
- 1:49:31Speaker 60: And I think it's purpose right.
- 1:49:36Speaker 61: It's like when you wake up in the morning and
- 1:49:41Speaker 61: your life means something to somebody other than you, that
- 1:49:45Speaker 61: you have a purpose.
- 1:49:46Speaker 62: If you don't go do the things that you're going
- 1:49:50Speaker 62: to do, people's lives will suffer. And I think that
- 1:49:53Speaker 62: that kind of purpose to live in service not to you,
- 1:49:58Speaker 62: but to live in service to humanity, to live in
- 1:50:02Speaker 62: service to your family, to live in service to your church,
- 1:50:05Speaker 62: to your city, to your country, to the world.
- 1:50:07Speaker 7: Living in service is that.
- 1:50:10Speaker 56: I feel like that is the purest form of joke.
- 1:50:16Speaker 23: The separation of talent and skill is one of the
- 1:50:21Speaker 23: greatest misunderstood concepts For people.
- 1:50:24Speaker 7: Who are trying to excel, who have dreams that want
- 1:50:26Speaker 7: to do things.
- 1:50:27Speaker 8: Talent you have, naturally, skill is only developed.
- 1:50:31Speaker 57: By hours and hours and hours of beaten on your craft.
- 1:50:36Speaker 26: He who says he can and he who says he
- 1:50:39Speaker 26: can't are both usually right. And I want you to
- 1:50:42Speaker 26: keep in your heart just.
- 1:50:43Speaker 19: Know that you can.
- 1:50:53Speaker 8: You know, somebody once said, you can take all the
- 1:50:55Speaker 8: money in the world out of the hands of everybody,
- 1:50:57Speaker 8: out of all the wealthy people in the world who
- 1:50:59Speaker 8: are really give it to other people. It wouldn't take
- 1:51:01Speaker 8: too long. Those people would have it back in their hands.
- 1:51:03Speaker 8: It's not because they're manipulate, but it's because they have
- 1:51:05Speaker 8: a standard.
- 1:51:07Speaker 24: The reason people don't put themselves in a position to fail,
- 1:51:09Speaker 24: the reason people aren't patient is they value other people's
- 1:51:13Speaker 24: opinions too much.
- 1:51:15Speaker 63: You have to monitor yourself talk. Monitor your self talk.
- 1:51:19Speaker 63: If you go around tell people, Oh, I have a
- 1:51:21Speaker 63: horrible memory, I'm not smart enough, I'm getting too old
- 1:51:24Speaker 63: fill in the blank.
- 1:51:25Speaker 8: Take those three magic words and live them. Raise your standard.
- 1:51:30Speaker 63: If you fight for your limitations, you get to keep them.
- 1:51:34Speaker 8: You got to be willing to do it.
- 1:51:37Speaker 7: Afraid.
- 1:51:39Speaker 64: See you might be waiting for the fear to stop.
- 1:51:41Speaker 64: Should leap leap afraid?
- 1:51:44Speaker 19: You chose to withdraw because you were afraid.
- 1:51:46Speaker 1: Actually tougher than you think.
- 1:51:49Speaker 19: You never knew that, and maybe you didn't want to
- 1:51:51Speaker 19: take on the responsibility.
- 1:51:55Speaker 8: People are rewarded in public from what they've practiced for
- 1:51:58Speaker 8: years in private.
- 1:52:00Speaker 63: Fanguard to your mind because your mind is always eavedropping
- 1:52:03Speaker 63: on your self talk. Your mind is always eavedropping on
- 1:52:07Speaker 63: your self talk.
- 1:52:08Speaker 64: Rather die leaping than on the edge figuring out how
- 1:52:11Speaker 64: to get the.
- 1:52:12Speaker 8: Courage to leap. Okay, I'm gonna go make this happen.
- 1:52:15Speaker 8: I'm gonna go make this much money. I'm gonna transform
- 1:52:18Speaker 8: my kids, I'm gonna create the ultimate relationship of my life.
- 1:52:21Speaker 8: I'm gonna transform my body, whatever it is. And then
- 1:52:24Speaker 8: you don't have strong enough reasons and you don't lose use.
- 1:52:26Speaker 7: It, you don't follow through.
- 1:52:28Speaker 8: It's because you didn't back up your standards with what
- 1:52:31Speaker 8: makes those standards real, and that's rituals.
- 1:52:34Speaker 46: You constantly remind yourself after every defeat, after every setback, every.
- 1:52:40Speaker 8: Time you get knocked down.
- 1:52:41Speaker 46: I've got to saying, if life knocks you down, trying
- 1:52:43Speaker 46: land on your back, because if you can look up,
- 1:52:45Speaker 46: you can get up. See a lot of people because
- 1:52:48Speaker 46: of failure, they stop, they stop believing.
- 1:52:50Speaker 7: Let me share something with you.
- 1:52:51Speaker 46: You will fail your way to success.
- 1:52:56Speaker 64: So many times we're waiting, We're waiting.
- 1:52:59Speaker 5: I'm waiting.
- 1:53:03Speaker 46: Eight out of ten millionaires have been financially bankrupt. You
- 1:53:06Speaker 46: will fail your way to success. It doesn't matter how
- 1:53:10Speaker 46: many times you fail. It doesn't matter how many times
- 1:53:12Speaker 46: people tell you that you can't do it. It doesn't
- 1:53:14Speaker 46: matter if you don't have a dime.
- 1:53:16Speaker 7: In the bank.
- 1:53:17Speaker 8: You will fail your way to success. What's the standard
- 1:53:20Speaker 8: they hold themselves to and then what are all those
- 1:53:22Speaker 8: little rituals that up, Because think about it, success and
- 1:53:26Speaker 8: failure are not giant events. They don't just show up.
- 1:53:30Speaker 8: You don't just suddenly become successful or suddenly have this
- 1:53:32Speaker 8: cataclysmic event that makes you fail. And they look that way,
- 1:53:35Speaker 8: but failure comes some all the little things.
- 1:53:39Speaker 49: You're just kind of waiting.
- 1:53:40Speaker 24: You're waiting to get everything in order.
- 1:53:42Speaker 64: You're waiting. You're waiting so that everything is in you,
- 1:53:46Speaker 64: it's together. You're waiting to not be afraid. You're waiting
- 1:53:49Speaker 64: to have the courage. You're waiting to have all the money.
- 1:53:52Speaker 64: You're waiting.
- 1:53:53Speaker 33: You've got five seconds, and that's it.
- 1:53:56Speaker 7: Today.
- 1:53:56Speaker 32: Seconds gone talk yourself out of it.
- 1:54:02Speaker 8: Failure to make the call, it's failure to check the books,
- 1:54:07Speaker 8: it's failure to say I'm sorry. All the results in
- 1:54:11Speaker 8: your life are coming from your rituals. Rituals define us.
- 1:54:18Speaker 33: Knowing that you're never gonna feel like doing all the
- 1:54:21Speaker 33: work that it takes to have this business be everything
- 1:54:24Speaker 33: that it possibly could.
- 1:54:25Speaker 8: And all those little failures, day after day come together
- 1:54:28Speaker 8: until one day, some cataclysing event happens and you blame
- 1:54:31Speaker 8: that that event happened because you missed all the little
- 1:54:33Speaker 8: shit so.
- 1:54:33Speaker 64: Well, you want to do it right, and you want
- 1:54:34Speaker 64: to wait till you're not afraid, and you want to
- 1:54:36Speaker 64: wait you have it all together? Oh you made it
- 1:54:38Speaker 64: about you again. See Nelson Mandela did it. He just
- 1:54:42Speaker 64: did it, not knowing if it were right. Mahatma Gandhi
- 1:54:45Speaker 64: just did it, not knowing if it were right. Mother
- 1:54:47Speaker 64: Teresa just did it, not looking for affirmation or confirmation.
- 1:54:50Speaker 7: Is this right?
- 1:54:51Speaker 64: Martin Luther King did it not even knowing if it
- 1:54:53Speaker 64: would happen before his life ended.
- 1:54:55Speaker 24: What do you wait on?
- 1:54:57Speaker 7: Are you willing to do it afraid?
- 1:55:00Speaker 64: Are you willing to do it knowing that you got
- 1:55:02Speaker 64: so much work to do to get it better, to
- 1:55:04Speaker 64: get it more perfect? But are you willing to do
- 1:55:06Speaker 64: it inside your imperfection?
- 1:55:07Speaker 24: Do you realize that in your imperfection you're perfect for
- 1:55:10Speaker 24: the job?
- 1:55:10Speaker 8: Go bite sized steps, little things you do each day
- 1:55:14Speaker 8: that after you do them, you get so much momentum
- 1:55:17Speaker 8: that it's easy to succeed. You're not overwhelmed. You have
- 1:55:20Speaker 8: these victory day after day after day on little things.
- 1:55:22Speaker 33: The brain is going to screw you over. The brain
- 1:55:24Speaker 33: is going to go into autopilot. The brain is going
- 1:55:26Speaker 33: to tell you it doesn't feel like doing things.
- 1:55:29Speaker 8: Raise your standard.
- 1:55:31Speaker 33: From the moment that you have the idea. From the
- 1:55:37Speaker 33: second you have that idea, You've only got five seconds
- 1:55:41Speaker 33: to take action, otherwise it's gone. There's only one rule
- 1:55:44Speaker 33: when it comes to productivity. There's only one rule when
- 1:55:47Speaker 33: it comes to success. There's only run rule to getting
- 1:55:50Speaker 33: everything you've ever wanted.
- 1:55:52Speaker 32: And here it is.
- 1:55:53Speaker 33: You're never going to feel like it ever in any
- 1:55:58Speaker 33: area of your life that you don't have what you want,
- 1:56:00Speaker 33: whether it's the amount of money, the amount of people
- 1:56:02Speaker 33: on your team, the amount of sales, the amount of trips,
- 1:56:05Speaker 33: or your family. If you only did the things that
- 1:56:08Speaker 33: you don't feel like doing, you'd have everything you've ever wanted.
- 1:56:13Speaker 7: They cave you fear to enter hol it's the treasure
- 1:56:16Speaker 7: you seek.
- 1:56:18Speaker 8: You have these victory day after day after day on
- 1:56:21Speaker 8: little things. If you'd went through Ultimate Edge, I'm sure
- 1:56:23Speaker 8: you learned about the hour of power, or the fifteen
- 1:56:26Speaker 8: minutes to be able to be fulfilled or thirty minutes
- 1:56:28Speaker 8: to thrive, where you literally just condition your body in
- 1:56:31Speaker 8: emotion with a couple of little rituals so it doesn't
- 1:56:33Speaker 8: matter what's going on in your world. You feel that
- 1:56:35Speaker 8: strength and it's not fake. It's not something pump up.
- 1:56:38Speaker 8: It's coming from inside you, and it works. Rituals define us.
- 1:56:48Speaker 8: It doesn't matter where you start, it matters where you finished.
- 1:56:53Speaker 32: You just have to do things you never think you're
- 1:56:55Speaker 32: going to have to do in order to survive and
- 1:56:58Speaker 32: get through it.
- 1:57:00Speaker 7: But when you're going through hell, don't stop.
- 1:57:02Speaker 65: Don't pitch a tent in hell, don't build a holiday
- 1:57:06Speaker 65: in in hell.
- 1:57:09Speaker 49: You know it takes as long as it takes. I
- 1:57:10Speaker 49: hate to say that, you know. I you know, you
- 1:57:12Speaker 49: can go to the gym for nine hours but you
- 1:57:13Speaker 49: won't get into shape. But if you go to the
- 1:57:15Speaker 49: gym every day for twenty minutes, you will get into shape.
- 1:57:17Speaker 49: But the problem is, I don't know how long it takes.
- 1:57:19Speaker 49: It'll be a little quicker for some, a little slower
- 1:57:20Speaker 49: for others, and so there's no app for trust.
- 1:57:23Speaker 41: There's no app for that.
- 1:57:24Speaker 49: You know, this is a human condition and we have
- 1:57:26Speaker 49: to do the things that are right for human beings.
- 1:57:29Speaker 49: And you won't build trust with everybody on the team
- 1:57:30Speaker 49: at the same pace. Some will be quicker and some
- 1:57:32Speaker 49: will be slower. How long does it take to make
- 1:57:34Speaker 49: a friend you know.
- 1:57:35Speaker 40: I don't know.
- 1:57:36Speaker 49: I just know that if you do the right thing,
- 1:57:38Speaker 49: you will make a friend.
- 1:57:41Speaker 7: You got to get up, You got to get out.
- 1:57:42Speaker 66: The amount of time you spend outside your proximity or
- 1:57:45Speaker 66: location where you sleep gives you a better chance of
- 1:57:49Speaker 66: being successful. So get up, get out, Go meet the
- 1:57:53Speaker 66: world head on, folks, no matter how bad it is.
- 1:57:56Speaker 67: I'm gonna tell you something that a lot of people
- 1:57:58Speaker 67: ninety nine percent of people disagree with me. Everybody says,
- 1:58:02Speaker 67: follow your passions. I say this's a bullshit, right, I say,
- 1:58:04Speaker 67: follow your efforts. It's amazing how we're all passionate about things.
- 1:58:12Speaker 67: We are all passionate about something, helping veterans, helping this organization,
- 1:58:17Speaker 67: helping this group.
- 1:58:18Speaker 8: That's great.
- 1:58:20Speaker 67: But no matter what it all nets out to, where
- 1:58:23Speaker 67: do you put your time? Because when people put in
- 1:58:26Speaker 67: their time, you get better at things. And when you
- 1:58:28Speaker 67: get better at something, you get good at something, then
- 1:58:30Speaker 67: you have a chance to be great at something. And
- 1:58:32Speaker 67: you know what I've learned, nobody ever quits anything they're
- 1:58:35Speaker 67: great at. And once you get great at it's amazing
- 1:58:38Speaker 67: how passionate you become about it. Follow your efforts.
- 1:58:44Speaker 12: You are the architect of tomorrow.
- 1:58:50Speaker 65: Sometimes in order to stay on our priority pathway, you
- 1:58:56Speaker 65: gotta say no. So I've really become a math of
- 1:59:00Speaker 65: saying that's just not working for me. But in years
- 1:59:03Speaker 65: past I was too cluttered.
- 1:59:06Speaker 49: So every single organization on the planet, even our own careers,
- 1:59:09Speaker 49: always function on the same three levels.
- 1:59:11Speaker 7: What we do, how we do it, and why we
- 1:59:12Speaker 7: do it. Everybody knows what they do.
- 1:59:15Speaker 49: These are the products we sell, the services we often do.
- 1:59:17Speaker 49: Some know how they do it. These are things we
- 1:59:20Speaker 49: call our unique selling propositions, or you know, our differentiating
- 1:59:24Speaker 49: value purposes. Whatever is the things that we think make
- 1:59:26Speaker 49: a standout from the crowd. But very very few people
- 1:59:29Speaker 49: and very very few organizations can clearly articulate why they
- 1:59:32Speaker 49: do what they do. And by why, I don't mean
- 1:59:34Speaker 49: to make money that's a result. By why, I mean
- 1:59:36Speaker 49: what is your purpose?
- 1:59:37Speaker 14: What is your cause?
- 1:59:38Speaker 24: What is your belief?
- 1:59:38Speaker 49: Why does your company exist? Why did you get out
- 1:59:41Speaker 49: of bed this morning? And why should anyone care? And
- 1:59:44Speaker 49: what I learned is that organizations or leaders that start
- 1:59:49Speaker 49: by telling you what they do are less able to
- 1:59:52Speaker 49: inspire people to do business with them, inspire loyalty. Where
- 1:59:55Speaker 49: those who start with why, whether it's Steve Jobs or
- 1:59:59Speaker 49: Mama Gandhi are able to command loyalty and are able
- 2:00:03Speaker 49: to innovate in ways that others cannot. And the reason
- 2:00:06Speaker 49: I say that every company functions this way is because
- 2:00:08Speaker 49: the model is not based on high folutin management theory.
- 2:00:11Speaker 49: It's based on the biology of human decision making. And
- 2:00:13Speaker 49: this is how the brain works. That when you start
- 2:00:16Speaker 49: with why, it talks to the part of brain of
- 2:00:18Speaker 49: the brain that is responsible for decision making and feelings
- 2:00:22Speaker 49: like trust and loyalty, But it's not responsible for language,
- 2:00:25Speaker 49: which is why it's hard to put into words.
- 2:00:42Speaker 66: Just get up, get out, Go meet the world, head on,
- 2:00:46Speaker 66: go meet whatever it is. Okay, you've got to make
- 2:00:48Speaker 66: up to somebody. You've got to apologize for something you've done.
- 2:00:51Speaker 66: You've got to make up the damage of years of
- 2:00:54Speaker 66: neglect and maybe betrayal.
- 2:00:57Speaker 16: And look, I've done all that.
- 2:00:58Speaker 66: I've had all those things where I screwed up over
- 2:01:02Speaker 66: and over and over again. My reputation sucked. I was
- 2:01:06Speaker 66: twenty between the ages of fifteen and twenty five years old.
- 2:01:10Speaker 66: It was like I was doing everything I could just
- 2:01:11Speaker 66: to damage damage my reputation. Okay, if it made me
- 2:01:17Speaker 66: look bad, I did it. So here today, I'm gonna
- 2:01:20Speaker 66: spend ten days, fourteen days, something like that up here
- 2:01:23Speaker 66: with that view. You can fix anything. I'm proof that
- 2:01:27Speaker 66: you can fix anything. Anything can be fixed, Anything can
- 2:01:32Speaker 66: be fixed. But you gotta fix it. You gotta fix it.
- 2:01:35Speaker 66: You can't just sweep it under the old rug. You
- 2:01:38Speaker 66: gotta fix it. You gotta clean up the damage.
- 2:01:41Speaker 7: You gotta pay the price, clean up your debts.
- 2:01:46Speaker 66: Do what you say you're gonna do. Come to the
- 2:01:48Speaker 66: most dependable person in your space. Come to go to person. Oh,
- 2:01:54Speaker 66: I could put that person on stage and know exactly
- 2:01:56Speaker 66: what they're gonna get for me. I can put that
- 2:01:58Speaker 66: person in the game and I know I know what
- 2:02:00Speaker 66: play they're gonna run. I can put that person on
- 2:02:02Speaker 66: the floor and I know they're gonna get it done.
- 2:02:04Speaker 67: Be the go to person, you know, those first couple
- 2:02:10Speaker 67: of months, I remember thinking to myself, I'm in business
- 2:02:13Speaker 67: two months now, you know. I remember getting to the
- 2:02:16Speaker 67: point where I had fifteen thousand dollars in sales, probably
- 2:02:19Speaker 67: six months into the company, and I'm still living in
- 2:02:21Speaker 67: the show and thinking, Okay, I can do this, I
- 2:02:24Speaker 67: can do this. And along the way it was lots
- 2:02:27Speaker 67: of trial and error. You know, there were things that
- 2:02:30Speaker 67: were new to me, things that were terrifying to me,
- 2:02:31Speaker 67: things that would just I would break out into a sweat.
- 2:02:34Speaker 67: But I always remember going into my customers and just
- 2:02:37Speaker 67: trying to be brutally honest and say to them, if
- 2:02:40Speaker 67: I can help you, right, if I can bring value,
- 2:02:43Speaker 67: if I can make your company more competitive, more profitable,
- 2:02:47Speaker 67: will you work with me and you don't have to
- 2:02:49Speaker 67: put money. I'll do the work to prove it, and
- 2:02:52Speaker 67: if I get it done, then we'll you know, we'll
- 2:02:55Speaker 67: figure it all out, you know, or they agree to
- 2:02:57Speaker 67: a price and then they'll pay it at that point.
- 2:02:59Speaker 67: And one by one, I just kept on making customers
- 2:03:02Speaker 67: happy and lost. So pick you know, for everyone I lost,
- 2:03:06Speaker 67: picked up three and I got. I was so nervous
- 2:03:09Speaker 67: about the whole thing that, you know, I just I
- 2:03:13Speaker 67: couldn't imagine slowing down, you know, and so people talk
- 2:03:17Speaker 67: about you know, life, family balance.
- 2:03:19Speaker 27: I had done.
- 2:03:20Speaker 67: I mean I literally remember dating some girl this is truth,
- 2:03:24Speaker 67: and it was like we've been dating a couple of
- 2:03:25Speaker 67: years and like at Mark, you're so into your work.
- 2:03:28Speaker 32: I mean, I want to pick a fence, I want
- 2:03:30Speaker 32: a house, I want kids, you know, I mean, it's
- 2:03:33Speaker 32: me or your job. And I was like, or your
- 2:03:36Speaker 32: mir or your company, and I was like, what's your
- 2:03:39Speaker 32: name again?
- 2:03:42Speaker 12: I'm sixty years old and everybody who works for me
- 2:03:46Speaker 12: is younger than me, and they'll tell you, I'll work
- 2:03:48Speaker 12: you up under the table.
- 2:03:51Speaker 49: Vision is an internal thing, right, It is the world
- 2:03:54Speaker 49: that you want to live in.
- 2:03:56Speaker 18: Right.
- 2:03:57Speaker 49: Jobs was the rebel, and he always was against big business.
- 2:04:04Speaker 49: All the visionaries that we know have some sort of
- 2:04:06Speaker 49: personal experience and imagine a world that is different to
- 2:04:08Speaker 49: the one they live in now and will use their
- 2:04:11Speaker 49: businesses to help build that world. That doesn't mean they're
- 2:04:14Speaker 49: the only ones doing it, but what makes them a
- 2:04:17Speaker 49: leader is they're the one leading towards that place. Right,
- 2:04:20Speaker 49: So vision has to come from you. If you're the
- 2:04:22Speaker 49: founder of a company, your business is not the only
- 2:04:25Speaker 49: way you do it. What if you quit your business
- 2:04:26Speaker 49: and start another one, it doesn't matter. They should all
- 2:04:29Speaker 49: be contributing towards this vision, and.
- 2:04:32Speaker 7: You're not the only one doing it.
- 2:04:33Speaker 49: But if you're the one preaching it and you're using
- 2:04:35Speaker 49: your company to advance it, that makes you the leader.
- 2:04:38Speaker 49: That's why everybody cupes you. But it's not about anticipating
- 2:04:41Speaker 49: the market trend, which is an interest thing. You're asking me,
- 2:04:43Speaker 49: it's got to start with values.
- 2:04:45Speaker 35: Did the interests come second?
- 2:04:51Speaker 66: If you're gonna make mistakes and you're like, make them fast, right,
- 2:04:55Speaker 66: If you're gonna lose the deal.
- 2:04:56Speaker 4: Make them lose the deal fast.
- 2:04:57Speaker 24: If you're not gonna make any money on the deal,
- 2:04:59Speaker 24: make sure it deals quick.
- 2:05:04Speaker 67: There's part of you that either wants to create a
- 2:05:06Speaker 67: business or you obviously already have created a business. The
- 2:05:09Speaker 67: hardest part is taking that first step, right. There's always
- 2:05:12Speaker 67: that line, like I was talking about earlier, that you
- 2:05:14Speaker 67: have to take a step past. But the thing people
- 2:05:18Speaker 67: always say, well, you know you're not afraid to start
- 2:05:20Speaker 67: a business.
- 2:05:21Speaker 1: Why why aren't you?
- 2:05:21Speaker 67: It's terrifying or you know, I just it scares me
- 2:05:25Speaker 67: to do it. And my my attitude has always been
- 2:05:28Speaker 67: if you're prepared, it's not a risk.
- 2:05:31Speaker 16: Right.
- 2:05:31Speaker 67: Bobby Knight, who was the coach at Indiana University, used
- 2:05:34Speaker 67: to say, everybody's got the will to win, but it's
- 2:05:36Speaker 67: only those with the will to prepare that do win.
- 2:05:39Speaker 67: And the same applies to business. We've all seen our
- 2:05:42Speaker 67: friends go out there and just wing it. You know,
- 2:05:44Speaker 67: it's my passion. We're all passionate about something. I'm passionate
- 2:05:47Speaker 67: about basketball doesn't make me an NBA player, Right, It's
- 2:05:51Speaker 67: not just about passion. It's not just about saying I'm
- 2:05:53Speaker 67: doing it. It's not even about incorporating. It's not about
- 2:05:56Speaker 67: the idea. It's about are you prepared and are you
- 2:05:59Speaker 67: willing to do the work.
- 2:06:03Speaker 66: You got to quit. You got to quit saying nonsensical
- 2:06:06Speaker 66: stuff like you know, I'm happy where I'm at and.
- 2:06:09Speaker 8: We're good, We're all good.
- 2:06:11Speaker 1: You know this is good, everything's good.
- 2:06:14Speaker 14: I'm better off for somebody and at.
- 2:06:16Speaker 66: You got to quit compare yourself to other people. You
- 2:06:17Speaker 66: got to quit talking like the middle class, like like
- 2:06:20Speaker 66: you've somehow arrived because somebody in Iran is suffering.
- 2:06:24Speaker 56: Yeah, you know, you're good until you're not.
- 2:06:26Speaker 16: There's nobody watching that gives enough.
- 2:06:28Speaker 56: Money to charity.
- 2:06:28Speaker 66: Yeah, okay, everybody watching should be able to give a
- 2:06:31Speaker 66: million dollars a year to charity.
- 2:06:32Speaker 8: But you can't.
- 2:06:33Speaker 14: You know why you can't. You would if you could,
- 2:06:35Speaker 14: but you can't because you didn't.
- 2:06:37Speaker 7: You didn't produce enough.
- 2:06:38Speaker 17: Because, by the way, it's not your money anyway.
- 2:06:39Speaker 66: Yeah, somebody else gave you the money.
- 2:06:41Speaker 58: And you pass it on.
- 2:06:42Speaker 1: Most of you are like, I'm.
- 2:06:43Speaker 32: Really charitable, I'm really good, but you never do enough.
- 2:06:45Speaker 7: Why because you.
- 2:06:46Speaker 66: Never had enough, because you didn't produce enough, because you
- 2:06:48Speaker 66: didn't work enough, because you didn't expand enough.
- 2:06:50Speaker 7: So I would just say to people, look, have some
- 2:06:53Speaker 7: loftier goals.
- 2:06:57Speaker 12: You are at your best when you are up to
- 2:07:00Speaker 12: your core, and you have to be what you are,
- 2:07:04Speaker 12: not what they call you.
- 2:07:07Speaker 49: You know, I tend to believe that there's no finality
- 2:07:11Speaker 49: in anything. You know, it's not like, uh, you know,
- 2:07:14Speaker 49: you're even though we our lives are finite. Life is infinite.
- 2:07:17Speaker 7: You know, life goes on it.
- 2:07:18Speaker 49: And for me, the goal is not to produce something
- 2:07:22Speaker 49: that has an endpoint, but to produce something that has
- 2:07:24Speaker 49: momentum that can live on beyond me.
- 2:07:28Speaker 10: H
