- 0:09Speaker 1: the guy who embraces hard work, the grind. Don't be
- 0:12Speaker 1: afraid of being heard. Don't be afraid of sacrificing some
- 0:16Speaker 1: blood and.
- 0:17Speaker 2: Some moments in life.
- 0:18Speaker 3: The decisions you may on a moment to the moment
- 0:21Speaker 3: basis that add up to be the guy or not
- 0:24Speaker 3: the guy. Tonight I did something, you know, I feel
- 0:29Speaker 3: more of a guy for me who I am?
- 0:32Speaker 4: My guy.
- 0:32Speaker 5: The one hundred men that go into war ten shouldn't
- 0:35Speaker 5: even fucking be there. Eighty of them are his targets.
- 0:39Speaker 5: Ten do most of it or nine do most of fighting.
- 0:43Speaker 5: One is a warrior. There's so many people who just
- 0:46Speaker 5: show up to life they shouldn't even fucking be around.
- 0:50Speaker 5: And there's a few people who do all the work.
- 0:53Speaker 5: I wanted to be part of that nine, and I'm.
- 0:55Speaker 2: Working towards being that one. Should I look like that?
- 1:00Speaker 6: Don't ever let a man see you like that.
- 1:04Speaker 7: Did you give them the power over?
- 1:08Speaker 8: You gotta take it out.
- 1:09Speaker 6: You take it with your head up, chest out.
- 1:13Speaker 9: Like the man, Make the sacrifices, make the unpopular decisions,
- 1:19Speaker 9: and become comfortable in your own skin. And if you
- 1:23Speaker 9: are not a person that you are comfortable being alone with.
- 1:28Speaker 9: That is the one person in this universe that you
- 1:31Speaker 9: have full power, full right, full responsibility to change.
- 1:35Speaker 10: If you had to create a human, what would you
- 1:37Speaker 10: put them through to make them tough? It probably wouldn't
- 1:41Speaker 10: be a really chill life. What would you put them
- 1:44Speaker 10: through to make them patient? We probably wouldn't give them
- 1:46Speaker 10: things immediately. And so it's like, we want these traits,
- 1:50Speaker 10: but each of the traits has a price tag attached
- 1:52Speaker 10: to it, and it's just like do you want to
- 1:53Speaker 10: pay the price tag to get the thing? And so
- 1:55Speaker 10: I think if people reframe the period of life that
- 1:58Speaker 10: they're going through as the that they're paying out of
- 2:00Speaker 10: their wallet, but the wallet is their time, it's the
- 2:02Speaker 10: seconds of life that they're trading for it, then I
- 2:04Speaker 10: think more people will be willing to make the trade,
- 2:06Speaker 10: because at least when I look at myself, like when
- 2:08Speaker 10: I'm eighty something years old and I'm looking back in
- 2:10Speaker 10: my life, I want to have these traits. But in
- 2:12Speaker 10: order to have the traits, I know I have to
- 2:13Speaker 10: go through these things. And I think for me that's
- 2:15Speaker 10: given me a lot of comfort in hard times.
- 2:19Speaker 11: You're up too old.
- 2:20Speaker 2: What's the story?
- 2:21Speaker 8: Are you not happier?
- 2:23Speaker 12: You're only half happier.
- 2:25Speaker 2: Instead of be happy about you're up too old.
- 2:27Speaker 13: Job's not finish, job finish, And I don't think so.
- 2:32Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 2:34Speaker 2: George Forman admits that he gave Muhammad.
- 2:37Speaker 14: Ali everything he had and Muhammad Ali grabbed it and
- 2:40Speaker 14: pulled into it.
- 2:41Speaker 5: Old man hadn't fought in years, hurted, and Muhammad Ali.
- 2:45Speaker 4: Pulled into him and said, is that all you got?
- 2:48Speaker 11: And George Foreman said, when he heard.
- 2:49Speaker 4: The words said all you got, it penetrated the spears
- 2:53Speaker 4: and I said, I didn't gave my man everything I got.
- 2:56Speaker 15: I can't see him an some.
- 2:57Speaker 5: Guy, Muhammad Ali, when he fed that to me, he
- 3:01Speaker 5: looked into the pupils of his eyes and he said,
- 3:03Speaker 5: at that point he knew George born.
- 3:05Speaker 16: Of that lisf you love this game. I mean love
- 3:09Speaker 16: it with your whole heart, because if you don't, let's
- 3:14Speaker 16: not even bother. Let's not open that door. They're just
- 3:18Speaker 16: gonna slam.
- 3:18Speaker 11: It right in our face.
- 3:20Speaker 16: I love this game. I live this game. And there's
- 3:25Speaker 16: a thousand other guys waiting in the wings who are
- 3:28Speaker 16: obsessed with this game. Obsession is gonna be talent every time.
- 3:35Speaker 16: You got all the talent.
- 3:36Speaker 7: In the world.
- 3:37Speaker 2: But are you obsessed?
- 3:39Speaker 16: Is it all you ever think about? Let's face it,
- 3:42Speaker 16: it's you against you out there. When you walk on
- 3:45Speaker 16: that court, you have to think I am the best
- 3:48Speaker 16: guy out there.
- 3:50Speaker 8: Whatever you do, you've got to be a little bit
- 3:52Speaker 8: gone to it. You're not all there. You've got to
- 3:55Speaker 8: be almost insane to a craft. Not a lot of
- 3:58Speaker 8: people can understand that. That's why I don't know about
- 4:01Speaker 8: nothing else. I do not pay attention to nothing else.
- 4:04Speaker 8: Those games are football on yesterday, those rugby does this
- 4:07Speaker 8: or that, and like normal society is like, let's talk
- 4:11Speaker 8: about this and let's let's engage in this.
- 4:13Speaker 2: And I just don't. I can't do it.
- 4:15Speaker 17: I just don't.
- 4:15Speaker 8: I'm people are talking to me and in my head,
- 4:18Speaker 8: I'm I'm counting something. I'm counting up a number or
- 4:23Speaker 8: knee deep in a sequence on the map, are in
- 4:25Speaker 8: on the feet. That's my life, sequences and numbers, nothing else.
- 4:29Speaker 8: I cannot pay attention to nothing else.
- 4:31Speaker 18: The fear is never reaching your potential.
- 4:33Speaker 2: That's it.
- 4:34Speaker 18: That always fallen short, always quitting before you're done, always procrastinating,
- 4:39Speaker 18: always not doing the right thing. And then one day
- 4:43Speaker 18: you're an old man yep, and you look back.
- 4:46Speaker 2: God, I could have been grain.
- 4:47Speaker 19: Where do you go to you wake up on the morning,
- 4:49Speaker 19: it's cold, it's wet, it's dark, You've got no cattilage
- 4:52Speaker 19: in your knee, you've got shitty shorts. Whatever it is,
- 4:55Speaker 19: that's the issue today.
- 4:56Speaker 15: Keep talking. I need to keep talking about what you.
- 4:59Speaker 19: Were just it's warm on the couch, your missus say, sting,
- 5:02Speaker 19: but it's comfy. It's cozy. You've got work later on.
- 5:06Speaker 19: You had an argument last night, you're slightly hungover.
- 5:09Speaker 5: I know every motherfucker ain't gonna do what I'm gonna do.
- 5:12Speaker 11: And my personal question to you is why not you.
- 5:18Speaker 11: You've got the brains. You can make decisions, you can
- 5:22Speaker 11: study the plan. You can change your life. You can
- 5:26Speaker 11: grow immensely in the next few years. You can make
- 5:30Speaker 11: your dreams come true. You can build a financial wall
- 5:32Speaker 11: around your family nothing can get through. You can become healthy,
- 5:36Speaker 11: you can become powerful. Why not you?
- 5:40Speaker 7: People don't see that, and people would never understand that
- 5:43Speaker 7: to be success, you know, all they think about, well
- 5:46Speaker 7: you bet at two o two, you know, and you
- 5:49Speaker 7: struck out a certain number of times. Yeah, okay, you know,
- 5:53Speaker 7: but the effort was there, and the learning curve and
- 5:57Speaker 7: the passion is there that has trends. Send it not
- 6:01Speaker 7: just to me, but to other people who are afraid
- 6:06Speaker 7: to do things because they are worried about the perception
- 6:09Speaker 7: that may come from other places. To me, that's more
- 6:12Speaker 7: gratifying than any you know. So that's the things that
- 6:16Speaker 7: my father and my mother instilled in me. Take a
- 6:19Speaker 7: negative and turn into a positive. Don't be afraid to fail.
- 6:23Speaker 20: When you grow up, you tend to get told that
- 6:26Speaker 20: the world is the way it is and your your
- 6:30Speaker 20: life is just to live your life inside the world.
- 6:32Speaker 20: Try not to bash into the walls too much. Try
- 6:35Speaker 20: to have a nice family life, have fun, save a
- 6:38Speaker 20: little money. But life that's a very limited life. Life
- 6:45Speaker 20: can be much broader once you discover one simple fact,
- 6:49Speaker 20: and that is everything around you that you call life
- 6:52Speaker 20: was made up by people that were no smarter than you,
- 6:56Speaker 20: and you can change it.
- 6:58Speaker 4: When this goes online or whatever is.
- 7:01Speaker 8: It really matters, and it like really doesn't matter.
- 7:05Speaker 2: What matters is you know.
- 7:07Speaker 8: The people who are sparked by it and the people
- 7:09Speaker 8: who are.
- 7:10Speaker 2: Like offended by it. It doesn't fucking matter.
- 7:13Speaker 8: Fuck you, you know like, because it's about motivating the doers.
- 7:18Speaker 14: It's time to stay focused.
- 7:20Speaker 2: It's time to decide.
- 7:22Speaker 14: Fuck clubs, fuck partying, Fuck trying to fit in and socialize.
- 7:27Speaker 14: Rub elbows with everybody so people can stop calling you weird.
- 7:32Speaker 14: Why are you so anti social because I'm trying to
- 7:35Speaker 14: get it? Why are you staying on the basketball court
- 7:38Speaker 14: so much because I'm trying to get it? Why are
- 7:41Speaker 14: you out there practicing in the hot sun when ain't
- 7:44Speaker 14: nobody else out there because I'm trying to get it?
- 7:47Speaker 17: Why are you not clubbing?

- 8:00Speaker 14: These clubs, these parties, all this shit ain't going nowhere.
- 8:05Speaker 17: The more weird you.
- 8:06Speaker 14: Are is a reflection of how committed you are to
- 8:11Speaker 14: focusing on your ship, molding and shaping and developing your
- 8:15Speaker 14: ideas and your craft so that when it's time for
- 8:17Speaker 14: you to make your rounds, you're gonna.
- 8:19Speaker 22: Fly home on Get it seventeen.
- 8:23Speaker 2: They don't know me, son, get it? Ain't you know me?
- 8:27Speaker 22: Son?

- 8:44Speaker 23: I'm stopping this one now, don't Okay, let me finish.
- 8:48Speaker 2: I gotta bru it good.
- 8:49Speaker 21: What I'm not a mistake.
- 8:54Speaker 17: Take yourself out your comfort zone. Do not live in
- 8:57Speaker 17: your bubble. Put some more ad in your bubble. If
- 9:00Speaker 17: you stay in your comfort zone, that's where you will fail.
- 9:05Speaker 17: You will fail in your comfort zone. Success is not
- 9:08Speaker 17: a comfortable procedure. It is a very uncomfortable thing to
- 9:12Speaker 17: it till so you got to get comfortable being uncomfortable
- 9:16Speaker 17: if you ever want to be successful.
- 9:19Speaker 5: That you want to do with life.
- 9:20Speaker 12: I'm sure people have told you to make sure you
- 9:23Speaker 12: have something to fall back on.
- 9:25Speaker 5: Make sure you got.
- 9:25Speaker 12: Something to fall back on, honey, But I never understood
- 9:29Speaker 12: that concept having something to fall back on. If I'm
- 9:34Speaker 12: going to fall I don't want to fall back on anything.
- 9:39Speaker 7: I want to fall forward.
- 9:41Speaker 12: I figure, at least this way i'll see what I'm
- 9:43Speaker 12: going to hit.
- 9:45Speaker 22: What if we have that kind of attitude the cause repossessed.
- 9:48Speaker 22: Nobody believes in you you've lost to get it again
- 9:51Speaker 22: and again. The lights are cut off, but you're still
- 9:53Speaker 22: looking at your dream, reviewing it every day and say
- 9:56Speaker 22: to yourself, it's not over until I I win.
- 10:02Speaker 5: People want to know where I find my strength, at
- 10:04Speaker 5: where I get my strength. I get it from a
- 10:06Speaker 5: lot of places, but right now, this morning, I'm getting
- 10:09Speaker 5: it from.
- 10:10Speaker 15: There's not a motherfucker that's up. There's not a car,
- 10:13Speaker 15: there's not a person. Everybody's in their bed sleep dreading that.
- 10:16Speaker 15: It's a Monday, hate It's a Monday.
- 10:19Speaker 2: And I'm loving it. I'm loving that.
- 10:21Speaker 15: Where everybody's getting weaker, I'm getting stronger. It's not about
- 10:25Speaker 15: to running to swim in to push up to sit ups.
- 10:28Speaker 15: It's about what those things do for your mentality. You
- 10:31Speaker 15: don't get better on the dag on couch. You get
- 10:34Speaker 15: better by coming out here and getting the fuck after
- 10:36Speaker 15: every dagone day.
- 10:39Speaker 23: The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very
- 10:42Speaker 23: mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough
- 10:45Speaker 23: you are. It will beat you to your knees and
- 10:47Speaker 23: keep you there permanently if you let it. Me or
- 10:51Speaker 23: nobody who's gonna hit as hard as life but it
- 10:54Speaker 23: ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard
- 10:57Speaker 23: you can get hit. They keep moving forward, and how
- 11:00Speaker 23: much you could take and keep moving forward. That's how
- 11:03Speaker 23: win it has done. Now, if you know what's your worthy, tell.
- 11:08Speaker 7: What's your worth.
- 11:09Speaker 2: But you gotta be willing to take.
- 11:10Speaker 23: Their heads and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where
- 11:13Speaker 23: you want to be because of him or her or
- 11:15Speaker 23: anybody powers do that, and that aint you.
- 11:19Speaker 11: You're better than that.
- 11:21Speaker 12: If you don't fail, you're not even trying. I'll say
- 11:27Speaker 12: it again, If you don't fail, you're not even trying.
- 11:30Speaker 24: My wife told me this great expression.
- 11:32Speaker 12: To get something you never had, you have to do
- 11:35Speaker 12: something you never did. Left Brown's a motivational speaker. You
- 11:40Speaker 12: made an analogy about this, he says. Imagine you're on
- 11:43Speaker 12: your deathbed, and standing around your deathbed are the ghosts
- 11:47Speaker 12: representing your unfulfilled potential, the ghost of the ideas you
- 11:51Speaker 12: never acted on, the ghost of the talents you didn't use.
- 11:55Speaker 12: And they're standing around your bed, angry, disappointed, and upset.
- 12:00Speaker 12: They say, we came to you because you could have
- 12:03Speaker 12: brought us to life, they say, and now we have
- 12:07Speaker 12: to go to the grave together. So I ask you today,
- 12:12Speaker 12: how many ghosts are going to be around your bed.
- 12:14Speaker 2: When your time goes.
- 12:16Speaker 25: I'm gonna have setbacks, I know.
- 12:20Speaker 7: Now.
- 12:20Speaker 25: If I'm feeling bad, that doesn't mean I'm doing bad.
- 12:23Speaker 25: That doesn't mean I am bad. That doesn't mean that
- 12:25Speaker 25: I can't still take some action because yeah, nothing changes
- 12:30Speaker 25: and nothing changes.
- 12:31Speaker 15: Man.
- 12:32Speaker 7: People don't see that, and people will never understand that
- 12:35Speaker 7: to be success, you know. All they think about, well,
- 12:38Speaker 7: he bad at too old too, you know, and it
- 12:41Speaker 7: struck out certain number of times. Yeah, okay, you know,
- 12:45Speaker 7: but the effort was there, and the learning courage and
- 12:48Speaker 7: the passion is there. That has transcended not just to me,
- 12:55Speaker 7: but to other people who are afraid to do things
- 12:58Speaker 7: because they're word about the perception that it.
- 13:01Speaker 2: Comes from other places.
- 13:02Speaker 7: But to me, that's more gratifying than any you know.
- 13:07Speaker 7: So that's the things that my father and my mother
- 13:09Speaker 7: instilled in me. Take a negative and turn into a positive.
- 13:12Speaker 7: Don't be afraid to fail.
- 13:14Speaker 18: The unfulfilled potential is history of most people's lives, and it.
- 13:18Speaker 5: Is and it could have been the story of mine.
- 13:21Speaker 5: And I tell a lot of people who people go,
- 13:23Speaker 5: what's your biggest fear in life and my biggest fear. Honestly,
- 13:28Speaker 5: God looks at me and says, that's who you are
- 13:30Speaker 5: supposed to.
- 13:31Speaker 26: Be, and the grammy goes to the college drop out
- 13:36Speaker 26: Kanye West.
- 13:40Speaker 27: When I had my accident, I found out at that
- 13:52Speaker 27: moment nothing in life is promised except death. If you
- 13:59Speaker 27: had the opportune of you to play this game of life,
- 14:04Speaker 27: you need to appreciate every moment. A lot of people
- 14:08Speaker 27: don't appreciate that moment until it's passed. Everybody asked me
- 14:13Speaker 27: the question, They want to know what kind I know
- 14:16Speaker 27: he's gonna goil out.
- 14:16Speaker 28: And it's gonna do something crazy.
- 14:18Speaker 27: Everybody want to know what I would do if I
- 14:22Speaker 27: didn't win.
- 14:26Speaker 2: I guess we'll never know.
- 14:34Speaker 11: My personal question to you is why not you?
- 14:39Speaker 29: Your biggest enemy is you. My whole book is about
- 14:43Speaker 29: you battling yourself. People don't understands you against you. The
- 14:48Speaker 29: only person that gets in your way is you.
- 14:50Speaker 2: Nobody else.
- 14:51Speaker 8: It's you.
- 14:53Speaker 15: You cannot change your life unless you change something.
- 14:57Speaker 5: If you always do what you always do, you'll always
- 15:00Speaker 5: get what you'll always cut.
- 15:02Speaker 19: It's most socially acceptable to be our own biggest critic
- 15:05Speaker 19: than it is to be our own biggest cheerleader.
- 15:08Speaker 21: Listen to the pain. It's both history teacher, watch and tell.
- 15:13Speaker 21: Pain teaches us who we are. We sometimes it's so
- 15:17Speaker 21: bad and we feel like we're dying, but we can't
- 15:21Speaker 21: really live till we die.
- 15:22Speaker 5: We can.
- 15:26Speaker 11: You've got the brains. You can make decisions, you can
- 15:30Speaker 11: study the plan. You can change your life. You can
- 15:34Speaker 11: grow immensely in the next few years. You can make
- 15:37Speaker 11: your dreams come true. You can build a financial wall
- 15:40Speaker 11: around your family nothing can get through. You can become healthy,
- 15:44Speaker 11: you can become powerful.
- 15:46Speaker 17: Why not you take yourself out your comfort zone. Do
- 15:50Speaker 17: not live in your bubble. If you stay in your
- 15:52Speaker 17: comfort zone, that's why you will fail.
- 15:55Speaker 18: The unfulfilled potential is the history of most people's lives.
- 15:59Speaker 5: It is, it is, and it could have been the
- 16:01Speaker 5: story of mine. And I tell a lot of people.
- 16:03Speaker 5: People go, what's your biggest fear in life? And my
- 16:08Speaker 5: biggest fear, honestly was let's say this. Let's say I
- 16:12Speaker 5: don't care if you believe in God or not. I
- 16:13Speaker 5: don't know. That's not me man, And God looks at
- 16:16Speaker 5: me and says, that's who you are supposed to be.
- 16:19Speaker 2: When it feels scary, to jump in. That is exactly
- 16:23Speaker 2: when you.
- 16:24Speaker 30: Jump, Otherwise you end up staying in the same place
- 16:27Speaker 30: your whole life, and that I can't do.
- 16:30Speaker 31: You're always afraid to take the first step because all
- 16:33Speaker 31: you see is every negative thing ten miles down the road.
- 16:36Speaker 13: You are bound by nothing.
- 16:38Speaker 25: I'm gonna have setbacks, I know. But if I'm feeling bad,
- 16:42Speaker 25: that doesn't mean I'm doing bad. That doesn't mean I
- 16:44Speaker 25: am bad. That doesn't mean that I can't steal take
- 16:47Speaker 25: some action, because yeah, nothing changes, and nothing changes.
- 16:51Speaker 31: Man, sunrise, sun ghost stone, there is up, There is
- 16:54Speaker 31: a done. Since we are born, we have inhaled fifty
- 16:58Speaker 31: percent of our times, have exhaled fifty percent of our times.
- 17:02Speaker 31: Our heart the same, sucking the blood, pumping the blood
- 17:06Speaker 31: also the same, always, fifty to fifty, always, the exchange
- 17:10Speaker 31: between left and right, up and down, bright and dark,
- 17:15Speaker 31: in and out. Success and failure. This world is not
- 17:20Speaker 31: propagating failure to you. It is propagating success to you.
- 17:24Speaker 31: So our mind is looking for success, starting to believe
- 17:29Speaker 31: there's only one way, there's only one direction in this
- 17:32Speaker 31: life that we live.
- 17:34Speaker 2: What all are you watching here?
- 17:36Speaker 28: Come close to the screen and listen.
- 17:40Speaker 10: People don't have to like you.
- 17:42Speaker 2: People don't have to love you.
- 17:45Speaker 28: They don't even have to respect you.
- 17:49Speaker 23: When you look in the mirror.
- 17:51Speaker 2: You better love with you.
- 17:54Speaker 16: You better love with gipsy.
- 17:56Speaker 25: Thank you to the critics.
- 18:00Speaker 5: Sometimes life can really hijack your fucking mind. When that
- 18:03Speaker 5: happens to you, you're all fucked up. Your goals, your ambitions,
- 18:07Speaker 5: everything is out the fucking window your life. We all
- 18:10Speaker 5: go through different things. Sometimes your girlfriend and boyfriend breaks
- 18:13Speaker 5: up with you. Guess what, Get the fuck over it.
- 18:15Speaker 5: They no longer want you. Maybe you fell a test
- 18:18Speaker 5: in school. You work your ass off. Guess what you
- 18:20Speaker 5: fill out the fucking test. Get over it, Move past it.
- 18:23Speaker 5: Learn to not let life hijack your brain. At work.
- 18:26Speaker 5: You've been working your ass off of that new promotion.
- 18:28Speaker 5: You don't fucking get it. Someone else does.
- 18:30Speaker 2: Maybe it gets better ask.
- 18:31Speaker 5: Than you do. Guess what. Get over it. Life will
- 18:34Speaker 5: hijack your mind if you let it. Don't allow all
- 18:37Speaker 5: these things to make you a lesser person. You must
- 18:40Speaker 5: own your mind. Don't let life own yours.
- 18:43Speaker 17: Why would you not go for it? Why would you
- 18:47Speaker 17: not take a chance. At one point in time, you
- 18:51Speaker 17: got to take a chance on you.
- 18:54Speaker 30: Well, I don't think that we should be gad And
- 18:58Speaker 30: I've thought about it a lot, and this is what
- 19:00Speaker 30: gonna happen. I'm gonna keep pursuing what I'm pursuing, and
- 19:04Speaker 30: because I'm doing that, it's gonna take up more and
- 19:06Speaker 30: more of my time, and I'm not gonna be able
- 19:07Speaker 30: to spend as much time with you. And even when
- 19:09Speaker 30: I do spend time with you, I'm gonna be thinking
- 19:10Speaker 30: about trumping. I'm gonna thinking about Jazzmink, my charts and
- 19:13Speaker 30: all that. And because of that, you're gonna start to
- 19:15Speaker 30: present me and you're gonna tell me to ease up
- 19:17Speaker 30: on the drumming and spend more time with you because
- 19:19Speaker 30: you're not feeling important, and I'm not gonna be able
- 19:21Speaker 30: to do that. And really, I'm just gonna start to
- 19:23Speaker 30: present you for even asking me to stop trumping, and
- 19:25Speaker 30: we're just gonna start to hate each other and it's
- 19:27Speaker 30: gonna get very it's gonna be ugly, and so for
- 19:30Speaker 30: those reasons, i'd rather just, you know, break it off clean.
- 19:34Speaker 13: I was gonna work that hard every single day so
- 19:36Speaker 13: that when I do retire, I have no regrets, And
- 19:40Speaker 13: that was the most important thing for me to see
- 19:42Speaker 13: leave no stone unturned, get better every single day. And
- 19:46Speaker 13: if I live that way, then over time, you know,
- 19:50Speaker 13: I'd have something that was beautiful. That was my philosophy.
- 19:53Speaker 13: It seems like a pretty simple one. But you know,
- 19:55Speaker 13: if you live your life to just get better every
- 19:57Speaker 13: single day, do that for twenty years, what do you have?
- 20:02Speaker 4: So if you're sitting down with me, I'm somebody you
- 20:04Speaker 4: really want, you really want me on the team, what's
- 20:07Speaker 4: your approach to recruitment?
- 20:08Speaker 2: You want first place? Come play with me. You want
- 20:10Speaker 2: second place, go somewhere else.
- 20:12Speaker 32: The challenge Like I would watch Magic play, I'd watch
- 20:15Speaker 32: Michael play, and I would see them do these unbelievable things,
- 20:18Speaker 32: and I'd say, you know, can I get to that level?
- 20:22Speaker 2: I don't know, but let's find out. Let's find out.
- 20:26Speaker 13: Everything was done to try to learn how to become
- 20:29Speaker 13: a better basketball player.
- 20:30Speaker 32: Everything, everything. And so when you have that point of view,
- 20:34Speaker 32: that literally the world becomes your library to help you
- 20:38Speaker 32: to become better at your craft.
- 20:40Speaker 4: The world becomes your library to help you improve your craft,
- 20:43Speaker 4: better your craft. Yes, indeed, so because you know what
- 20:46Speaker 4: you want, the world's given you executive information one hundred.
- 20:49Speaker 2: Better because you know what you're looking for.
- 20:52Speaker 32: It was an everyday process and trying to figure out
- 20:54Speaker 32: strengths and weaknesses, for example, jumping ability.
- 20:58Speaker 2: Now, my vertical was a forty wasn't a forty six
- 21:01Speaker 2: forty five.
- 21:03Speaker 32: My hands are big, but they're not massive, right, so
- 21:05Speaker 32: you got to figure out ways to strengthen though, so
- 21:08Speaker 32: your hands are strong enough to be able to pomme
- 21:09Speaker 32: the ball and do the things that you need to do.
- 21:12Speaker 2: Quickness. I was quick, but not insanely quick.
- 21:15Speaker 32: I was fast, but not ridiculously fast, right, so I
- 21:18Speaker 32: had to rely on skill a lot more. I had
- 21:23Speaker 32: to rely on angles a lot more. I had to
- 21:24Speaker 32: study the game a lot more. But I enjoyed it though,
- 21:29Speaker 32: so like from the time I was I can't remember
- 21:31Speaker 32: when I started watching the games. I studied the game
- 21:34Speaker 32: and it just never changed.
- 21:36Speaker 24: I want to thank them, and I want to think
- 21:37Speaker 24: what they taught me, which is that you have to
- 21:39Speaker 24: work harder than you think you possibly can. Can't hold grudges.
- 21:43Speaker 24: It's hard. You can't hold grudges, And it doesn't matter
- 21:51Speaker 24: how you get knocked down in life, because that's gonna happen.
- 21:55Speaker 24: All that matters is that you got to get up Violet,
- 21:57Speaker 24: Sam and Sarah.
- 21:58Speaker 7: I love you.
- 22:02Speaker 13: That I was gonna work that hard every single day
- 22:05Speaker 13: so that when I do retire, I have no regrets.
- 22:09Speaker 13: And that was the most important thing for me, is
- 22:11Speaker 13: to leave no stone unturned, get better every single day.
- 22:16Speaker 13: And if I lived that way, then over time, you know,
- 22:19Speaker 13: I'd have something that was beautiful. But that was my philosophy.
- 22:22Speaker 13: It seems like a pretty simple one. But you know,
- 22:25Speaker 13: if you live your life to just get better every
- 22:27Speaker 13: single day, you do that for twenty years, and what
- 22:30Speaker 13: do you have?
- 22:31Speaker 6: See mouse, This is one thing I learned while I
- 22:33Speaker 6: was locked up. When you down bad, you really find
- 22:37Speaker 6: out who are in your corner. See everybody talk that
- 22:40Speaker 6: lawyer shit when it's trying to be lawyer.
- 22:45Speaker 2: Heybody just a bit.
- 22:47Speaker 28: Didn't have the luxury of knowing what it was, but
- 22:50Speaker 28: I knew I had something. And let me tell you this,
- 22:55Speaker 28: if you've made it through addiction or mental illness, you
- 22:58Speaker 28: have something, because a lot of people don't. If you
- 23:03Speaker 28: are still kicking today, battling those demons, you have something.
- 23:08Speaker 28: Because a lot of people didn't wake up today because
- 23:10Speaker 28: they couldn't make it, they couldn't cut it, And you
- 23:12Speaker 28: fucking did
