  Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty strong. It seems like a good group.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: We're working them through the paces. I want to thank
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: all the volunteer mentors who came down. You know, we
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: lost the United States Army support because it was disadministration
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: put it under the DEI. So they killed that and
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: the contribution that the US Army was making. They took
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: the funding and they took the soldiers.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: But I want to thank God for so many of

  Speaker 3: the soldiers that have helped me over the years heard

  Speaker 3: about it and they took their vacation time and twenty
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: of them came and volunteered.

  Speaker 1: Thank you for you.

  Speaker 3: I thought that was outstanding man for them brothers in
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: the US Army. So I just wanted to say that, Junior,
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: you had a question for me.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: It was right up there that alley actually, because I
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: was asking what all the success you have?
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Man?
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: You have? You know, you're a motivational speaker, your radio host,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: your TV personality. And then here you are spending your
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Father's Day weekend with some men you've never met, some
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: young men you never met before. What made you put
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: mentorship on this list because it seems like you had everything.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, I have a saying that says, your
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: career is what you paid for, but your calling is
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: what you're made for. And I discovered out of all
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: my success that the real purpose that God gave me
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: this vehicle of success for was to turn around and
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: do his work. God blesses you to become a blessing.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: That's my mother imparted that on me. Even as a child.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: She used to tell me something one time that I
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: didn't understand. I'd be on my way outter school, and
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: every now and then she said, boy, don't forget one
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: day God gonna give you a big house up on
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: the hill. You can't get up on that hill, and
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: don't take nobody with you. Now. I didn't get it
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: at the time, but my mother knew something that I
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: didn't know, that one day I would have a big
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: house up on the hill, and that it was my
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: obligation to teach other people how to get on the
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: hill too. And that's a big part of it. And
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: I just have discovered the older I Get Nurse program
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: is sixteen seventeen years old, maybe even yeah plans it
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: is older than that. Really, yeah, the minnoring camp is
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: older than that. I don't even know. Wow, I had
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: this minoring camp back in two thousand and three. It's
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: twenty some years old. Man, I've been doing this since Dallas.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: I lost track. But anyway, I've just learned that all
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: of this fame and and and and and means that
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: God had graced me would had to have a purpose
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: attack to it. I've actually found my purpose in life.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: I got the fame part, that's cool, but that's gonna
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: be over with one day.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: I won't do TV forever, you know, And that's that's
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: gonna go away. But my legacy won't go away. My
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: legacy is gonna be here after I'm gone. I've learned
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: something owning this ranch, as i've a tornado came through
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: and destroyed a huge part of the forest that I own.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: So we got with the Department of Georgia Agriculture and
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: they tore down probably one hundred acres of trees, just
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: tore them out the ground. Just horrible tornado, so I
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: had to replace them, and I replaced ninety thousand trees,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: replanted ninety thousand trees. Department of Georgia came down and
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: helped me do it. They send the people down there
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: that make roads and they plant these sprucelings, and I've
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: watched these brucelings grow over the years. But you know what,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: I also realize a society becomes great when old men
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: plant trees under which the shade they know they'll never sit.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: I know that I won't be here when them trees
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: get really, really big enough to create shade. I know
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna be here for that. Those trees that
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: got took out the ground was one hundred years old. Man,
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: I won't even be here for when they're fifty years
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: old and they provide all that shade. But the saying
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: is a society now, it becomes great when old men
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: plant trees under which the shade they know they'll never sit.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: And I've decided to be that type of person that
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna plant some seeds and stick some things in
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: the ground under which I won't see the result of,
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: but the results will be there after I'm long gone.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: And that's why I meant to these young men. Some
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: of these young men gonna be grandfathers one day. I
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: may not be here when they become grandfathers, but I
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: put enough seeds in the ground to produce enough boys.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: I have been able to see some boys turn into
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: some fine young men. I have lived long enough to
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: see that. And so as I build my legacy by
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: the grace of God and with the help of Marjorie,
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: and we have the Stephen Marjorie Harvey Legacy Ranch. That's
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: why I called it the Legacy Ranch. You know, it
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: was the Rock Ranch for years. They got a big
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: sign out there, Rock Ranch. I had to take the
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: crest out the ground and put my own family crest
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: in the ground because it's something we're doing, and we're
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: doing it to change the lives of boys and girls
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: to beg to make better young men and better young women.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: So people have better families, your daughters have better choices
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: in men. And that's what it's about, man. And so
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: that's the purpose I have in my life. And I'll
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: continue that until I leave here I end my entertainment career.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: But that thing right there, I'll never stop doing that.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Those are my closing wartsh, don't talk to God everybody.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: He would absolutely love to hear from you. Y'all have
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: a great day, stay in peace, now holler.
