  Speaker 1: There's a version of you that only wakes up when
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: the world goes to sleep. Not the version they see
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: during the day. Not the one who smiles politely.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Answers e-mails.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Gets things done and follows the plan no this version
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: the midnight version doesn't care about plans it doesn't need
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: permission it just is at night something shifts the noise
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: quiets the pressure disappears and suddenly it feels like you
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: can breathe again That's when the ideas start to come.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Not the safe ones.
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: The real ones.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: The wild ones. The ones you buried under memes and
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: messages and maybe later. But now it's quiet. And your
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: mind finally has space to play. You begin to imagine things.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: You think in color. You write with no filter. You
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: dream without fear of being called too much or not enough.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: And here's the truth no one really says out loud.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Creativity doesn't follow a schedule. It doesn't clock in at
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: 9 and leave at 5. It comes when your soul
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: feels safe. And sometimes, that's only after the night. So
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: maybe you felt it. Lying in bed, your heart racing
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: with a new idea. Or sitting at your desk at
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: 2 a.m. creating something that feels like it's coming from
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: somewhere deeper than magic or routine. That version of you,
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: the one who creates in the quiet, is not a mistake.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: It's not just late-night energy or insomnia. It's you, stripped
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: of performance. It's your raw self, unfiltered and real. Don't
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: ignore it. Don't shut it down just because a world
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: runs on calendars and clocks. Lean into it. Write the story.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Paint the vision. Build the dream. Even if no one
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: sees it yet. Especially if no one sees it yet.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: You don't need the sun to shine. Sometimes your brightest
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: ideas are born in the dark.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: So, you know, you got to find out what works
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: for you.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: What works for you.
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: I was more so of a, I was a midnight
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: workout guy. You see, it's about three o'clock in the
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: morning and there's not a car or a person in sight.
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: People want to know where I find my strength at,
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: where I get my strength. I get it from a
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: lot of places. But right now, this morning, I'm getting
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: it from, there's not a mother that's up. There's not
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: a car. There's not a person. Everybody's in their bed, sleep,
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: dreading that it's a Monday. Hate it's a Monday. And
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: I'm loving it. I'm loving that. Where everybody's getting weaker,
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: I'm getting stronger. It's not about the running, the swimming,
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: the push-ups, the sit-ups. It's about what those things do
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: for your mentality. You don't get better on the daggone couch.
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: You get better by coming out here and getting the
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: f * * * after it every daggone day.
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: And when people put Kobe or other people on a pedestal,
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: it's because that man loved it more than anything. Of course,
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: when AI's like, yo, and then we go to the
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: club and Kobe's in the gym, I know why. The
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: same reason I was in the office last night at
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: 10 p.m. I'm not in the office last night at
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: 10 p.m. because I need to make another dollar. I'm
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: in it because I like this more than chopping up
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: or getting drinks. This is more fun for me.
• 4:11
  Speaker 7: Work. Some of you love sleep more than you love success.
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: And I'm here to tell you today, if you're going
• 4:17
  Speaker 7: to be successful, you've got to be willing to give
• 4:20
  Speaker 7: up sleep. You've got to be willing to work off
• 4:23
  Speaker 7: of three hours of sleep, two hours. If you really
• 4:25
  Speaker 7: want to be successful, some days you will have to
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: stay up three days in a row. Because if you
• 4:30
  Speaker 7: go to sleep, you might miss the opportunity to be successful.
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: That's how bad you've got to want it.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: If you don't believe you, then no one else will.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: So I'm not looking for a handout. I will... Become
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: the resource. I will believe in myself. All roads start
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: with you and you alone.
• 4:53
  Speaker 7: But what you're also saying is there's huge value in
• 4:56
  Speaker 7: things that suck.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: On the other side of something that sucks is something
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: worth cherishing.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: I would say not just huge value, but the value.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: If you avoid those things that are hard, if you
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: don't accept that challenge... if you don't step up and
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: step into that cold water and you sit on your
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: couch and eat Doritos, I can tell you this is
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: not a good move.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Don't do that. Don't do that. Just get up.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Move towards that challenge, whatever that challenge is. Move towards
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: that challenge and go attack it. And you may be
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: successful and you may not be successful, but you will
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: be better And the next challenge, you're gonna be more
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: prepared for.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: I often ask undergraduates, How many hours a day you
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: waste or how many hours a week you waste and
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: the classic answer is something like four to six hours
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: a day You know inefficient studying Watching things on YouTube
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: that not only do you not want to watch that
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: you don't even care about that's probably four hours right
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: there No, you think well, that's 20 25 hours a week.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: It's a hundred hours a month. That's two and a
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: half full work weeks It's half a year of work
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: weeks per year and if your time is worth anything
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: $ 20 an hour, which is a radical underestimate. It's probably
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: more like 50. If you're wasting 20 hours a week,
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: you're wasting $ 50, 000 a year. And you are doing that
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: right now. And so if your life isn't everything it
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: could be, you could ask yourself, well, what would happen
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: if you just stopped wasting the opportunities that are in
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: front of you?
• 6:38
  Speaker 8: It's always the quiet work that you put in with
• 6:41
  Speaker 8: your own two hands when no one else is watching.
• 6:44
  Speaker 8: That's the one degree of of separation from you and
• 6:47
  Speaker 8: everyone else when it comes to productivity. It's the quiet
• 6:51
  Speaker 8: work you put in when no one else is watching.
• 6:53
  Speaker 7: Do not expect anybody else to hold you accountable like
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: you hold you accountable because nobody knows what you do
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: in secret. Nobody can be with you 24-7. Hold yourself
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: accountable and then love yourself enough. Love yourself enough to
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: get over whatever you need to get over so you
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: can live your dreams. And I'm here to tell you today,
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: if you got somebody came to my office the other
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: day crying, I said, look, don't cry to give up.
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: Cry to keep going. Don't cry to quit. You already
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: in pain. You already hurt. Get a reward from it.
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: Don't go to sleep until you succeed. Listen to me.
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: Listen to me. You'll never be successful until I don't
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: have to give you a dime to do what you do.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: All you have is all you need. Look yourself in
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: the mirror. And tell yourself, I got this. If I
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: have to do it alone, I will. No sunrise without
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: a sunset.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: So that version of you, the one who shows up
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: when no one's watching, isn't a fluke. It's the truest part.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: The one that isn't performing or proven. Or trying to
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: fit inside lines that were never drawn for you in
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: the first place. It doesn't need applause. It doesn't ask
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: for validation. It just creates. Because it has to. Because
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: something inside you knows that even if the world never
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: sees it, you will. And maybe that's enough. Maybe that's
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: the point. So when the nights are long and difficult,
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: don't run from it. Embrace the darkness. Embrace those urges
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: that keep you up at night and use them. Use
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: them to go farther than you thought possible. Use them
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: to work harder than you thought possible. Use them to
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: build your legacy. And in those quiet hours, when everyone
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: else is sleeping, you are becoming not who they expect,
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: but who you really are.
