  Speaker 1: All right, guys, it is our last break of the
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: day on this Tuesday. It's been a fun day. Yep, yeah,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: thank you guys for listening. We always appreciate your business.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Of course, Carl, you had a question for Steve.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: I did? I did?
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: All right, Steve, what do you want your life to
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: be about? You?
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Sixty eight?
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: You talk about your age a lot and your agent. Well,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: you're looking good.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: What do you want your life to be about? Well?
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: I think that's a question that everybody should ask they self,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: and sooner than later. The saying goes, the two most
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: important days of your life are the day you're born
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: and the day you discover why what your life should
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: be about. It was kind of like what the subject
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: was we were talking about on stage at invest Fest.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Your life should be first of all, we all have choices.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Everybody gets to decide. Matter of fact, we're the only
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: creature that God created that he gave that power choice too.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: A bird has no option but to be a bird.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: A bear has to be a bear. Your squirrel has
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: to be a squirrel. And this is what they do,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: and you have to do the things that they do.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: We get to pick and choose along the way what
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: we get to be, what we get to do, and
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: who we choose as to who we are. We get
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: to make those choices. Now I've made my choices, and
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: as I suggested to young people that invest Fest, it's
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: all about how you brand yourself. And branding has a
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: lot to do with who you are. But the branding
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: part has to be tied to a few things. Number one,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: it has to be tied to your gift and purpose.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: You need those two things to get cleared up you first.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: First things first, a person should understand what their gift is.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: What are you gifted at? Realizing that God never created
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: a soul without giving them a gift, we all understand that, Well,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: what is yours? It is the discovery of your gift,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: the admission of your gift, and the pursuit of your
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: gift that will lead you to your purpose. Once again,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: the two biggest days in your life or the day
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: you're born and the day you discover why. I was
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: walking through invest Fest and somebody stopped and asked me
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: a question, why is it important for you og to
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: come through here and invest Fest? I said, because it
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: is imperative that I share as much knowledge as I
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: can While I'm here with those that I know who
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: have a thirst forward, because, like I've said on this
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: show many times, there are many people I know. Most
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: people I know want to be happy and successful. I
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: have found measures of both of those, and so I
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: don't mind sharing the principles and concepts that lead to that.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: But you have to come away with your own brand,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: and then you have to remember that everything you do
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: is about your brand. When you get on a podcast,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: you have to stay on brand. When you make a
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: decision as to what you're going to get involved with,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: it should be on brand. It should fit who you
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: are and what you are. Here for who you are
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: and what you are. That's what your brand should always
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: be about. You can't pick everything. Everything is not for you.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Every contract they asked you to sign, you shouldn't sign.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Somebody came to me the other day with these show ideas,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: and that's not what I'm looking for. I'm not looking
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: for that anymore. I've had a lot of shows. I
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: can actually say that I've been content with being on
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: TV as long as I have, so I'm looking for
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: other things. But if you keep doing what you been doing,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: you gonna keep getting what you've been getting so I
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: have to make a decision to turn down those things
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: that get presented to me. If I want to stay
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: on brand with the new brand that I choose to be,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: which is more of a business person, more of a businessman,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: I gotta stay on brand. I can't keep picking what
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I used to pick. I can't keep showing up for
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: peerans fees. Something has to be about ownership. Something has
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: to be about making you money while you sleep instead
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: of while you're making money on your feet. I've done
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: that for years and years and years. So you have
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: to make a decision, and you have to discover that
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: about yourself and stay the course. A big part of
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: it is not being afraid to reinvent yourself. You can't
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: get stuck on Chuck. You know how many people I
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: know man whose acting career has been over and now
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: they my age and older, and they still out there
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: trying to wait on the roll to come up in
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: that they can get picked for. And it's so few rolls.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: The older you get, older rolls are much infrequent, much
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: more infrequent than younger roles. I got to the point
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: where I watch people that I know in their seventies
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: out here reading for parts clearly it's say forty thirty
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: year old, and they go out there to try to
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: convince the director that it should be them. It could
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: be time to reinvent yourself. It's nothing wrong with that.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: It's nothing wrong with that. Somebody asked me recently. They said, Steve,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: how long you been out of stand up? And I
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: couldn't remember if it was twenty twelve or twenty fifteen,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: but I thought about it. I think it's twenty twelve.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: And my last show was at the MGM Gardens and
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: I sold out fifteen thousand seats and that was my farewell.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: That was my last time. And somebody even said, ask me, dog,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: how can you do that? How can you walk away
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: from stand up? I said, because it's time to turn
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: the page. I gotta do something else. I got a
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: TV career that I'm building now, and I think that
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: that stand up gonna interfere with that because I'm gonna
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: say something on that stage that ain't gonna fit the
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: brand of family Feud and all these other things I got,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: and then the sponsors is gonna pull and then that's
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: gonna be the end of that. Understand who you are,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: what you are, and why you are, and stay on
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: brand and make that decision and do the best that
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: you can and God will take care of the rest.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Have a great day. Talk to God today, y'all, he
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: would absolutely love to hear from you.
