  Speaker 1: I once had growing up. Every day you have to
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: do this shit. The only way to keep from getting

• 7:41
  Speaker 1: You got to keep challenging it every day.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: How do I do it? How am I able to

  Speaker 2: How do you fight my insecurity?
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: These all these things, and they're there every day, every day.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: I'm in search for a feeling. I'm not in search
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: for a trophy. I'm not in search for love.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I'm not in source for more followers on Instagram or
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: social media. When I started this journey years ago and
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: I realized that I'm going to be somebody, and I'm
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: searching for a feeling, a feeling of true victory for
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: myself and only myself. The second I shut out the
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: whole world and realize that one thing that I am
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: in this world alone, I'm fighting in this race by myself. Yeah,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I'm all about people, I'm all about team, I'm all
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: about that shit, But I'm really all about right now
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: and in my life, no one knows the real truth
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: about me, how hard I really go. I don't care
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: if anybody knows. I want anybody to know. I'm an introvert.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: I live an introverted life and I love that about me.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: That right there is my fuel is I know that
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: there's really no one out there grinding like me, and
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: if they are, so be it if I know about you,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I'll make sure that my gang. That's what the mentality
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: is all about. My whole thing is a mentality thing.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: I view myself as the weakest person on the planet Earth.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: I was just an insecure, scared kid, and the only
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: way I could find myself was through putting myself through
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: the worst thing possible. My goal in life was to,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: in my mind believe I'm the hardest man alive. And
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: that's why the whole thing is can't hurt me. That's
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: what it's about. It's about whatever you think you are.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: You have to make that dream of reality. But that's
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: where the hard part is is making that dream reality,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: and that's where the hard work come is. That's where
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: people know, how do you keep grinding every day? You
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: have to make those insecurities, those fears. Like when I
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: was thres of pounds, I didn't have any dry I'm
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: gonna go be a Navy seal? What kind of stupid
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: shit is that three hundred pounds? There weren't like a
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: drive to go be a Navy seal. I was an insecure,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: lying kid, afraid. I had to look at my insecurities
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: and in my fear and find drive in that we're
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: all looking for passion, passions all around you. You have
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: a whole sack of it all around you. Your insecurities,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: all that shit. You gotta dive deep in that shit.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: It's all in there. All the energy and fuel you
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: need is right in yourself. It's all there. You got
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: a lot of stuff to do to overcome. And you
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: know that's where I found it. I found it right
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: there in my own insecurities. I found drive in my
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: own insecurities. And that's the most powerful thing in the world.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: When you can
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Find drive in your own doubt, fear, insecurities, you become
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: very unstoppable.
