• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Y'all going to come on.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: No, I ain't going. That was the only reason I
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: went because of Junior Bridgeman. He was the first person
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: that really invited me to and took care of me
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: and everything. Man, And that was the reason I went. Man,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Junior Bridgeman. Man was one of the great great men
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: in this world on this earth. Man. I'm gonna tell
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: you something. I never met a finer man than Junior Bridgeman.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: I've never met a finer man. Sitting around Junior Bridgeman
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: made me want to be a better businessman, but more importantly,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: just a better husband and father. I never saw nobody,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: not no man that had that kind of money, that
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: was that way with his family. I ain't never seen
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: it before. I've never seen it. And Junior Bridgeman was
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: that guy. I've never seen it, man, And I mean
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: that from the bottom of my heart. I never saw it.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: And he inspired me to do better because he was
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: that way. I went wild because you know, look, man,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: he taught me so much. Man. He tried to help
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: me in so many ways to teach me, but he
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: just did it by example. He didn't never sit me
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: down to go, hey, man, do this, do this, do this.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: He just said he would invite me around him and
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: then he'd just be who he was and who he was. Man,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: was really really special guy. So I kind of I
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: had some people invited me there to the Kentucky Derby
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: this year, but you know, the conducted Derby to me
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: as I knew it, it was Junior Bridgeman. And for
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: that reason, Yeah, man, he was just he was a
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: great person.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Wow, just a great dude.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: And people that knew him know what I'm talking about
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: so and if you never met him, boy, you missed it.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: You missed him really good, dude. Yeah, So I just
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: wanted to say that, Junior, what you got?
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Can I ask you something? Because you said something Jr.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Bridgeman being a bitter husband and everything. Don't you think
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: you were a great husband and grateful too? I think
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: you are. I think you were grateful.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: I think I've grown into the role a lot better.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: When I was younger, man, I wasn't that great of
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: a father because I just wasn't there. I had picked
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: up stakes to chase this dream and that caused me
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: to neglect some people. And I knew that, man, and
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: I wish I had chosen a different way to do it.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: But at that particular time in my age, with that mindset,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: I made my decisions based on the capabilities that I had.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: You know, I didn't know any better. I did what
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: I thought was the best way. I'm glad I did it,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: but I did it with regrets. You know, I do
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: regret that in my decision to pursue my dreams that
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: it costs some people. You know, it did, man, It
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: cost some people. And I guess, like Bishop Jakes has
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: told me, over and over and over. He said, Man,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: you're too hard on yourself. He says, you got to
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: stop being so hard on yourself. Man, But I was,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: and I just took that into account with everything. And
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I guess I've spent all my life, like I said
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: at my daughter Carly's wedding, which was very emotional for me,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: I said at my daughter's wedding, I've spent my entire
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: adult life making up to mistakes I made when I
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: was a young man. And so I had to learn,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: really man, to forgive myself. I had to forgive myself.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Now there are people who still hold me to that
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: twenty seven year old dude that I was. It's still
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: people who hold me to the twenty four year old
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: dude that I was. But I had to learn to
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: stop allowing people to do that to me, because if
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: God has changed me and God has forgiven me, then
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: that gives me the right and the opportunity to move
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: move on, to step up. And my advice to everybody
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: out there is stop allowing people to hold you to
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: your past when God has clearly moved you forward.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Take the forward route.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: And so I am a much better husband, a much
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: better father. You know, because now what's crazy is now
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: that I've gotten to where I took off, where I
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: took off too when I was twenty seven years old
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: to become I've arrived there. I've gotten to where I
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: set out to be. Now the crazy thing is God
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: put me way beyond where I thought that was. I
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: accomplished what I set out to accomplish, but what God
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: did for me on top of that, what he stacked
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: on top of that, was far more than I thought
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: i'd ever be. And so now that I'm here, it's
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: the crazy thing. Every decision I make now is not
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: for me. It's for them. Everything I do is for
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: my wife, for my children, and for my grandchildren. Everything.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: I don't make no decisions now without considering that. Now.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know how long it takes a man to
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: get to that point. We all got our own individual
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: journeys with that, and I'm not saying you need to
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: be there in order to be a man. But it's
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: a lot more rewarding for me right now because I
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: realized that it ain't about me. It ain't for me,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: it's for them. I still got work on that grandfather thing.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: I ain't really locked that in yet. But you know
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I'm there for them. I give them anything, but I
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: ain't even locked. I love the great kids. I like
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: it when they go. Those are my closing remarks today.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Have a great day to y'all. Have a great day today, y'all.
