- 0:36Speaker 5: impossible for my vocabulary. So when people say that it
- 0:39Speaker 5: can't be done, I did it because I can tell
- 0:42Speaker 5: you the bottom line is that all of you should
- 0:46Speaker 5: take the word no and that's impossible and can't be

- 1:32Speaker 3: Never ever take no more answer, as I've never taken
- 1:35Speaker 3: no more answer any. A lot of I had to
- 1:37Speaker 3: do with me being gay, because you know, I've been everybody,
- 1:40Speaker 3: just like I think when you think of me being
- 1:46Speaker 3: someone who said that I was a force of nature,
- 1:48Speaker 3: how do you get movies made? And how do you
- 1:50Speaker 3: just their impossibilities? And that was because I was told
- 1:55Speaker 3: that you know, I wasn't and that I would be anything.
- 1:58Speaker 9: So I have none to lose, you know what I mean.
- 2:00Speaker 3: So I think that taking no for an answer is
- 2:03Speaker 3: absolutely God acceptable.
- 2:06Speaker 4: Ever, I'm at a high school teacher who one day
- 2:11Speaker 4: changed my life. I was waiting on another student and
- 2:14Speaker 4: when he came in, he said to me, young man,
- 2:16Speaker 4: go to the board and write what I'm about to
- 2:18Speaker 4: tell you. And I said, I can't do that, sir,
- 2:21Speaker 4: And he said why not. I said, I'm not one
- 2:24Speaker 4: of your students. He said, it doesn't matter. Follow my
- 2:27Speaker 4: directions now. He said, I can't do that, sir. He
- 2:30Speaker 4: said why not? I said, because I'm educable mentally retarded.
- 2:36Speaker 4: And he came from behind his desk and he looked
- 2:38Speaker 4: at me. He said, don't ever say that again. Someone's
- 2:42Speaker 4: opinion of you does not have to become your reality.
- 2:48Speaker 2: I refuse to take note for an answer. So if
- 2:50Speaker 2: I'm told no, you know, and asked, Lord, you can't
- 2:53Speaker 2: have a baby or you'll never be able to do that,
- 2:56Speaker 2: I don't let that in, which I find very useful.
- 3:00Speaker 2: I do let it in criticism, but anything's useful, and
- 3:04Speaker 2: so I say, that's probably my best attitude. I just
- 3:07Speaker 2: won't take me for an answer.
- 3:11Speaker 10: When people shut on you and doubt you. I am
- 3:14Speaker 10: tired of people not starting and living their life on
- 3:17Speaker 10: one very simple thing, which is they're worried about what
- 3:20Speaker 10: other people think, whether that's their mom, their friends, and
- 3:24Speaker 10: worst of all, comments in social media. I mean, this
- 3:31Speaker 10: is some sixth grade lunch room shit. Are you really
- 3:34Speaker 10: really really not gonna live your life based on somebody's
- 3:38Speaker 10: anonymous and icon feedback that you suck? They finking suck,
- 3:43Speaker 10: They're three trash. That's why I found a dumpster. It's enough.
- 3:50Speaker 10: You've lived your whole life this way. It doesn't matter
- 3:53Speaker 10: what they think. When you're freaking ninety two and you're
- 3:55Speaker 10: sitting there, you're not gonna give a about what punk
- 3:59Speaker 10: Man ninety six had to say, or even what your
- 4:02Speaker 10: aunt had to say, who's miserable because she never got hers,
- 4:05Speaker 10: So she's trying to keep you down. So very simply,
- 4:08Speaker 10: please take the passion that is pouring out of my
- 4:11Speaker 10: fucking face right now and run with it and go
- 4:14Speaker 10: do something. If you need a little burst here it is,
- 4:17Speaker 10: go do something, because the only thing that's holding you
- 4:21Speaker 10: back is you're worried about what other people have to say.
- 4:25Speaker 10: You give up on that ship and you're clean and
- 4:27Speaker 10: you can go and all of a sudden, it's not
- 4:30Speaker 10: how much money you have or how much time you have.
- 4:32Speaker 10: You just see that you can do it. Money ain't
- 4:34Speaker 10: time aint of holding you back compared to your worry
- 4:38Speaker 10: about other people's opinions. Leave that in high school. It's
- 4:43Speaker 10: time to come.
- 4:48Speaker 9: What success in life comes more haters. Don't make him
- 4:52Speaker 9: horsh your feelings. Use it for fuel, use it for
- 4:56Speaker 9: energy in times of need, put them on the to
- 5:00Speaker 9: roll the decks in your mind, and when you don't
- 5:02Speaker 9: want to do.
- 5:05Speaker 6: Roll through your brain.
- 5:06Speaker 9: Pull up that motherfucker that you need, that person who
- 5:09Speaker 9: said you couldn't do something, weren't fast enough, good enough,
- 5:13Speaker 9: smart enough, where then you may be use it for
- 5:16Speaker 9: energy instead of children with kindness, torture, and success in life.
- 5:22Speaker 7: We have to continue pushing.
- 5:23Speaker 9: Past the odds, lose everything this ward has to give
- 5:27Speaker 9: you for fuel.
- 5:29Speaker 10: It gets me gone, and it's well, it's what Mother
- 5:32Speaker 10: avates me.
- 5:33Speaker 4: They an't tell me they are trying to.
- 5:35Speaker 8: Laugh and everything.
- 5:36Speaker 4: They're trying to mock me.
- 5:38Speaker 10: It's been over there, so it's just something Mother amaze
- 5:41Speaker 10: me to keep going.
- 5:42Speaker 4: I'm conquering the uncomfortable shaw that the only.
- 5:45Speaker 7: Thing is possible. Actually had twenty introductions to investors throughout
- 5:49Speaker 7: Silicon Valley. Ten of those people replied to their email.
- 5:53Speaker 7: Five of them met us for coffee. Zero invested in
- 5:57Speaker 7: Airbnb and talk about a tough time. You've got some
- 6:02Speaker 7: of the smartest people in the world. You know, they've
- 6:04Speaker 7: picked some of the most well known companies that we
- 6:07Speaker 7: all love in use today, from Googles and paypals and youtubes,
- 6:10Speaker 7: and here there are telling us that our idea is crazy,
- 6:13Speaker 7: that it's not going to scale, that people aren't going
- 6:16Speaker 7: to stay in people's homes around the world kind of
- 6:18Speaker 7: the world. I thought we were crazy for any entrepreneur
- 6:20Speaker 7: out there, like you can't take no for an answer.
- 6:23Speaker 7: I know we had really smart, credible people telling us.
- 6:25Speaker 1: Who know.
- 6:28Speaker 8: Well, the biggest struggle man was just getting around other
- 6:31Speaker 8: people that that that would say I could do it.
- 6:34Speaker 8: I mean, that's the biggest struggle. Just you get around
- 6:37Speaker 8: one guy says yeah, you can do it, and then
- 6:38Speaker 8: you talk to him tomorrow and he's like.
- 6:40Speaker 11: No, dude, you can't do this.
- 6:43Speaker 8: You know, there's so few people telling you to do it.
- 6:46Speaker 8: You know what, there is a lot of save your money,
- 6:48Speaker 8: protect yourself, conserve, don't spend, don't take risk. Taking risk
- 6:53Speaker 8: is the new way to be risk adverse. The biggest
- 7:04Speaker 8: struggle for me was my family. Man, the people closest
- 7:07Speaker 8: to me was the biggest struggle. Every time I went
- 7:10Speaker 8: out to do another deal, everybody told me, you don't
- 7:13Speaker 8: need to do that.
- 7:13Speaker 7: Man.
- 7:14Speaker 8: The only person that was encouraging me was my twin
- 7:17Speaker 8: brother because I would see how he was doing it. Dude,
- 7:19Speaker 8: he was making his swings. And so every time I'd
- 7:22Speaker 8: get around other people. So I'll tell you a little
- 7:24Speaker 8: trick I did. On weekends. I would always go see
- 7:27Speaker 8: homes I couldn't afford. That has always inspired me. I
- 7:31Speaker 8: would go look, I would go drive neighborhoods. Literally, I've
- 7:35Speaker 8: done this my entire life until I finally got to
- 7:37Speaker 8: the point where they wouldn't even let me in the neighborhood.
- 7:40Speaker 8: There's neighborhoods in Miami. Do you can't even go see
- 7:42Speaker 8: you can? They won't even let you in the gates.
- 7:48Speaker 5: You know.
- 7:49Speaker 12: I started a band, and the world laughed at me,
- 7:52Speaker 12: literally laughed at me, kicked us around, talked about us
- 7:56Speaker 12: in the press for years and still do you know,
- 7:59Speaker 12: But we hunkered down, we worked and we worked and
- 8:01Speaker 12: we worked with play arenas all over the world. We
- 8:03Speaker 12: have the most amazing, brilliant, beautiful fans one could ever
- 8:07Speaker 12: ask for, and we've had an incredible life as a result.
- 8:12Speaker 12: So if I had listened to the choir, to the
- 8:15Speaker 12: chorus of everyone, I would have stopped, because that's what
- 8:19Speaker 12: people want you to do. For some reason, some people
- 8:23Speaker 12: would rather kill your dream than see you succeed. I
- 8:26Speaker 12: don't know what that is, you know. I think it's
- 8:28Speaker 12: important to be stubborn and to follow your dreams no
- 8:33Speaker 12: matter what.
- 8:39Speaker 11: And the people who are like offended by it, it
- 8:41Speaker 11: doesn't matter you, you know, like, because it's about motivating
- 8:46Speaker 11: the doers in anyone that wants to sit around and talk,
- 8:50Speaker 11: they're doing too much time. It takes too much time
- 8:52Speaker 11: talking bit about it instead of getting up off their
- 8:55Speaker 11: ass and following their dreams, because I'm here to follow
- 8:58Speaker 11: my dreams, you know, and help other people follow their
- 9:01Speaker 11: dreams and inspire people who are dreamers. It's crazy that
- 9:05Speaker 11: we live in a world that if you're super positive
- 9:08Speaker 11: and super.
- 9:08Speaker 5: Creative, then it's scary.
- 9:13Speaker 11: So what does that tell you about the mentality of
- 9:15Speaker 11: most people if you're scared of like positivity and creativity.
- 9:22Speaker 6: I want to do something I've never done before, and
- 9:25Speaker 6: I don't know how, but I can imagine it. I
- 9:29Speaker 6: want to engage in the unknown. I truthfully want to
- 9:33Speaker 6: pursue the unknown, and in the pursuit of the unknown,
- 9:36Speaker 6: something comes to realization and I'm never prepared for it.
- 9:41Speaker 6: So when I set out to do what I set
- 9:43Speaker 6: out to do, I set out to do the abuzz.
- 9:46Speaker 6: Everybody told me you're nuts. You can't do that. You
- 9:48Speaker 6: can't do that, And that's also consistent with all entrepreneurs.
- 9:53Speaker 6: There's always a legion of people who will tell them
- 9:57Speaker 6: you can't do that. And even if you could, why
- 10:01Speaker 6: there's so many better things to do other than that,
- 10:04Speaker 6: that you can make so much more money from it.
- 10:07Speaker 6: But money was really a very very narrow part of
- 10:11Speaker 6: what I was really setting out to do.
- 10:15Speaker 1: You know, you're always affected by opinion, But there are
- 10:19Speaker 1: more opinions there are of me.
- 10:23Speaker 10: The more.
- 10:25Speaker 1: The less I look at them, because I just can't
- 10:27Speaker 1: live my life based upon what other people think about me.
- 10:30Speaker 1: So I can't concern myself too much with what other
- 10:32Speaker 1: people think. You know, it's just not healthy. I don't
- 10:35Speaker 1: think I could continue to do what I do if
- 10:38Speaker 1: I was constantly worrying about what somebody thought about it.
