  Speaker 1: I tell all the people that I love you.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Gotta want the best out of your life for you,
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: because we only have a moment on this earth, and
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: it's going to be people that look you in the
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: face and tell you that they believe in you. They're
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: gonna tell you from their lips they believe in you,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: but when you look them in their eyes, you're gonna
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: know that they're.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Not telling the truth.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: That's the hardest thing for a man to take because
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: belief belief, As my great buddy Evan Carmen, I can
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: say all the time, believe. Belief is what excels and
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: it pushes people through the stratosphere. And I can always
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: tell people I know bigger than you. I started in
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: a shelter, walking outside asking people, do you believe I
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: can be one of the top motivational speakers in the world.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: They laugh at me, but I was crazy.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: What I tell people is the way you get to
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: the next level of your life is keep going, keep going,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: keep running, even when you don't even know.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: We get turns into chaos.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: You cannot be great if you cannot operate in chaos.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: That's my life.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Because if you can operate in chaos, the world becomes Disneyland,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: problems become scratches.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I can lose my car, somebody can blow it up.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go have some solution with my wife and
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: think about the solution, not the problem.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Many people focus on the problem and not solutions.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: We spend that split second, fifteen to twenty minutes tearing
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: our body down, tearing.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Our mind down over something that we can't control.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Everybody talks about their faith, but do they really got faith?
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Do you got that halfway faith or do you got
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: that whole way faith. I'm talking about when you sleeping
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: in your car, don't know where you're gonna live, are
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: you still gonna get up and work that day. Real
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: motivation comes from the pain. It comes from the bottom.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: And if you go into the bottom and you stay,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: you never become Hollywood.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: You always stay golf in the neighborhood.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Time, I looked at all these celebrities, all these guys,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: I would write to their dms and see if they're
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: writing me back.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: They never did broke my heart.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: So I told myself, when I get to this level
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: where everybody wants to reach out to me and people
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: want to talk to me, I'm gonna answer every Damn,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna answer every message a man sends to me
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: because I too was a man that they ignored. I
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: too is a man that they call dumb or pull
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: And when I say the best gifts come from the bottom,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I speak of me first.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: To be an example to every kid sitting at home.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Watching his mother nod on the couch or his father concerated,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: or nobody ever tell them that they love him. I
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: do this for them. It's a duty. It's my duty.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Tom.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: If I die today, I can die a happy man
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: because I live full and I die empty.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I didn't work for money, Tom.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Everybody that's listening to this show today is not money.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: It's how you serve as people. It's how you put
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: them before you. So I tell people you can be
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: consumed by social network.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: The cars, the Lamborghinis, the message. You can do all
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: of that.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: But the feeling I get when a person writes me
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: and say, William, you saved my life, It's like I'm
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: getting a million dollar.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Check every single time.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Time.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I love what I do.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: I woke up every day for five years and did
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: it for free. Paths will start to clear out, and
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: you might not know what's gonna happen or how it's
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: gonna happen. But I promise you, if you pick that
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: thing that you love, I'm talking about you really love.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about that thing that you will do for free.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: If you pick that, if you pick that every day,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: if you choose that every day consistently, it's inevitable for
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: you not to be successful. And those kids gotta understand.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: You gotta stay true to yourself. You gotta have the
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: ability to think for yourself and know that sometimes you're
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: gonna have to be a man before you become one,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: but you're ready for it and you.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Built for it.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: One of my favorite scenes in the movie three hundred
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: is when the kids went up in the mountains and
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: he had to fight. It reminded me so much of myself.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: It reminded me so much of inner city kids all
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: around the world that had.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: To become a man before they became one.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: So by becoming a man before you really supposed to
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: be one, you miss out on things. You miss out
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: on the things that kids do. You never have a
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: shot at.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Being a kid. Do you know some people have only
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: been to an adult. That's the truth. We had to
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: take care of our.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Mom when I was in college.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I was sending Reef my whole refund checks back for
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: my mother.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: I'm setting in a five star hotel, getting ready to
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: play a football game, and a night before my mom
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: at home calling me on the phone, knocking on my
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: oh one of her friends door, asking can she come in?
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Is cold in her house because the heat cut off?
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: And I gotta go back to sleep and play a
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: football game the next day, knowing my mom starved.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Is she cold?
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: You will get to the point in your lifetime where
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: you have no choice but to fight. I think people
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: give up because they don't believe what they see. It's
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: a saying that coaches say, believe what you see if
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: it's there, shoot the gap. People don't believe the greatness
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: that's in them because the world created this superstar, elite
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: group that's just human, just like us. But when we
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: see them on television, we look at them as higher
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: than us. We look at them in a place where
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: we connect we think we can never get to. And
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: the real reason is most people never get out the
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: stands and get in the game. They stay fans they
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: whole life. So I tell everybody get off the stands
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: and get in the game. Get in the game of
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: life and leave.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Your mark here.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: When I said I didn't read, it's a reason why
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: because I believe it taints the original creativity that POD's
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: supposed to give to the world. When I read books
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: on Napoleon Hill, Rich Dad, Port Dad, when I read
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: those books, I got their thoughts. People write all these
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: successful books, all these successful manuals, but you don't understand
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: that the Most High has a different journey for you,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: but you following the blueprint of another person's journey. Every
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: human being on this earth has their own journey, and
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: when you don't focus on yours, you will not the
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: great gifts and things that you were supposed to bring.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: To the world.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Like the best gift come from the bottom, like only in.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: The womb of a woman can a man breathe underwater.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Like God leaves your gift at the bottom of the stairs,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: and it's something you to climb up those stairs and
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: get your gift. See those quotes came from me, no
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: tainted mentality.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: My thought is for me.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: And when I get on that stage time I say words,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: and I say a words that I never could pronounce,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: so I know I'm connected to something. I didn't choose
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: motivational speaking. It chose me and it saved my life.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: I tell people a lot of people don't know what
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: it is that they supposed to do. I tell people
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: everybody i'll talk to, I say, what did you What
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: was the first thing you ever did that made you
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: feel for filled? Some might say dancing, Some might say, oh,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: a play I did. Your career is made as a child.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Your destiny is made when your child. Everything is built
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: from that infant stage. And some people of One girl said,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: I used to love to sing when I was a
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: little girl, And I said, the reason why you're not
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: happy is because you stop doing it.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: If you pick it back up, that pain will start
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: to shed off you and you will get to your breakthrough.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: The reason why people are depressed and down is because
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: they're not doing with their love with They're not doing
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: what they love. They're doing what they have to. That's
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: what the workforce and work world do. It steals dreams,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: it steals them and the.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: World has become.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: So this can populate it with finances and money that
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: people have to compromise their dreams.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Just to survive.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: So when people are here in this world right now today,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: that's making dreams happen. They are extraordinary because one they
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: made a decision that I'm not doing nothing else but this,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: even if I don't get paid for it. People sat
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: back and wait time and throw their dreams in the
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: trash and go do another man's dream and expect to
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: feel fulfilled when they come home at night.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: But when you wake up and you live your truth.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: And you work for your gift, even the days you're
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: not paid, you're not gonna feel like you wasted your time.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Because you're doing something that you love.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: And if I if I was to die to day,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: I want to die doing something I love.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: That's speaking.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Somebody out there has put a gift down, and it's
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: time to pick it back up.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: That thing that made you happy, made you smile, Pick
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: it back up.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: I promise you all the pieces will come back together.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: I tell this a quote. I say, get back to
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: the child that laid on your mother's lap. There was
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: the child that dreamed, believed in the world,
