No, you're not, like, 170 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: you're not like and I think that's what like Brind's 171 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,239 Speaker 1: my ears is just like it's this shit is hard, 172 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: and it's mentally draining, and if you don't have the 173 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: right people around you, you will hurt yourself, yeah, mentally 174 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: and the top possibly physically. 175 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 4: No, you'll break. 176 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 3: I mean, look, I had I had a business one 177 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 3: time and it's the same thing. It was doing really well, 178 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 3: but the infrastructure was all jacked up, you know, for 179 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 3: lots of different reasons. You know, I was hiring, I 180 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 3: could have probably hired, but there's a lot of things 181 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 3: I could have done differently, But to your point, I remember, 182 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 3: I was like holding so much stuff inside that I 183 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 3: literally started having anxiety attacks. Like anytime my phone would ring, 184 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 3: I would have an anxiety attack. And like think about 185 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 3: how many times your phone goes off over the course 186 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 3: of a day, like emails, text messages, just notifications, And 187 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 3: I just had this every time. I would just get 188 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 3: this feeling like, oh God, what is it now? And 189 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 3: I remember like the breaking point for me was I 190 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 3: went on vacation and I like literally had to put 191 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 3: my phone in the safe in the hotel for like 192 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 3: two days and just like yeah, I was like, don't 193 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 3: even tell me what the code is, Like just turn 194 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 3: it off, put in there. I don't even know what 195 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 3: the code is, and just just separate myself. But that 196 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,679 Speaker 3: was before again, I wasn't, you know, taking care of myself, right, 197 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 3: And so you know, like what did with all the 198 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 3: stuff you've been going on You're talking about, you know, 199 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 3: taking this kind of like mental and break and everything, 200 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 3: Like what did you learn in that space that like 201 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 3: this hustle culture doesn't teach you that is okay? 202 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 2: Like I would say this, man, I think failure is okay. 203 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think a lot of times is that you know, 204 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: we make especially in our generation, in our space and 205 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: our communities, that failures like I can't fail. It's like no, 206 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 1: like failure allows you to get better, you know what 207 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: I mean, and understanding that that's a part of life. 208 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: Like most of the people that we look up to 209 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: have had multiple failures before they hit the pinnacle of 210 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: their success. And I didn't understand it, Like I really 211 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: was like man, like God, like why are you taking 212 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: why are you taking this away from me? Like I 213 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: did everything that you told me to do, and you're 214 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 1: taking taking this away from me at the pinnacle. 215 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 2: Of the business. So now you want me to start over. 216 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:49,439 Speaker 2: I just got engaged. 217 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 1: You want me to be the leader financially and mentally, 218 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: But now I have to start over again, Like what 219 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: do you want. 220 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 2: Me to do? You know what I'm saying. So I 221 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 2: think to understand that we can't. 222 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: I'm not sure that all the views are you spiritual, 223 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: But for me, it's like I became more spiritual, Like I. 224 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 2: Can't do it. I got I really can't, you know 225 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 2: what I mean. 226 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: I think putting him first in every avenue and every 227 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: opportunity is a part of that journey. Of being successful, 228 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: Like it's community, it's family, it's your ability to pivot, 229 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 1: it's your ability to grow. But you're also your ability 230 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: to say, hey, I'm giving you this first, God like 231 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: tell me what to do. And I think sometimes we 232 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: forget that it's us. It's just me at the entrepreneur. No, 233 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: I can't. I've never done it by myself, never, even 234 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: when we're Browns, Like, didn't do it by myself. I 235 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: had my business partner at that time, I have my family, 236 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 1: I have my girlfriend at that time, our wife. I've 237 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: had all pieces to the puzzle. And you always you 238 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: always have to have gratitude in that space. 239 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, now you talked about it again, like splitting from 240 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 3: your business partner again, I think people, Yeah, like that's 241 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,199 Speaker 3: that's tough. I mean, you know, business is definitely a mayor, 242 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 3: especially if you have a partner with it. I mean 243 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 3: it's it's tough to kind of go through that. But 244 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 3: like once you had that split, especially at that level 245 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 3: of success, kind of at the peak, like you mentioned, 246 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 3: like how did you actually, you know, rebuild your confidence 247 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 3: not just as like a creative but also just as 248 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:14,559 Speaker 3: a business person in general. 249 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,679 Speaker 1: My family because I doubted myself. I remember shout out 250 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: to a min ramina and my wife. I remember having 251 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: no conversation with her, and she was like, you can 252 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: do this shit again, like let it go because I 253 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,079 Speaker 1: was trying to hold it. They want to give it up. 254 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: I didn't want to give it up. I was like, no, 255 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: I'm not giving it up. Now, We're gonna figure to 256 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: figure it out. And she was like, my wife's same thing, 257 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,719 Speaker 1: like let it go. It's hurting you right now, I 258 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 1: can tell your hurt to let it go and just 259 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: start over. It's gonna be tough, it's gonna be hard. 260 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: And at the time I didn't. It was no brain 261 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: level idea. It was just nothing. It was just nothing, 262 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So I'm like I'm letting go, 263 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 1: but not having nothing to go to, like what what 264 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: am I? 265 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 2: What am I gonna do? So I think for me, 266 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:58,199 Speaker 2: it's like it was my. 267 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: Community, man, Like I can't I can't express enough on 268 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: the impact that your community and people that truly want 269 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,959 Speaker 1: you to win that can have on your confidence. I've 270 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: always been a very confident, but I feel like that 271 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 1: wasn't pier where I lacked confidence because of some things 272 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: that was told in me, and that I kind of 273 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,319 Speaker 1: started the question like is that correct? 274 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 2: Can I do this again? Can I build another seven 275 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 2: figure business? Yeah? You know what I'm saying. 276 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: So, like community, family played a major role in me 277 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 1: keeping my confidence and but also me owning myself too. 278 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 1: Like ARTI go to therapy, Archie pray more, Archie get 279 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 1: closer to God, Archie special feelings, Archie cry across to 280 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: your wife. It's okay to have those emotional feelings because 281 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: you gotta let it out. Yeah, because you hold it. 282 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 1: Like you said, if you hold it in, it's only 283 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: going to do more damage to you. 284 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 4: Now where did the name brain love specifically come from? 285 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: So it's crazy as a curty stories. I was in 286 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: the car, so me and my wife were just think 287 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: about ideas, what's next, kind of opportunity, what we want 288 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: to do my future goes.

Buffett was talking about the 294 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: importance of really pushing yourself to the next level and 295 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:25,359 Speaker 1: evolving every single day to reach your pinnacle of success financially. 296 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: And I said, man, like that really kind of lies 297 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: to what what you're doing as a child. Like, as 298 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: a child, you're evolving, your brain is evolving, you're involving. 299 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: As a person, You're evolved from a toddlers to a kid, 300 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: to a teenager to a young adult, so on and 301 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: so forth. So I was like, man, that's a dope name. 302 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: So originally the name of the brand was called Brainchild, okay. 303 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: But what happened was as me kind of pulling on 304 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: my relationships I call complex. It's like, yo, complex, I mean, 305 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:52,959 Speaker 1: I really want y'all to kind of partner with me 306 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 1: some ideas, some marketing ideas, some collaborations. And it's like, man, 307 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 1: we love the idea, love the brand, but right now 308 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: there's certain other brand called brain Child okay. 309 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 4: And I was like, and that was like, bro, what right? 310 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: First of all, what God, you gave it the idea again? 311 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: Now you want me to pivot again? I had I 312 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,119 Speaker 1: created a whole collection based on this concept of Brainchild. 313 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 1: But I realized also it was like, man, okay, take 314 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: a second back relax, let's figure out another name. So 315 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: I knew I wanted to keep brain, but I was like, man, 316 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: how can they still have the same effect and the 317 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: same mission and values? So I was like, man, I 318 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: said brain love. I was like, you didn't stick for 319 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: for y'all. So I called my boy, my best friend, Phil, 320 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: and he was like, man, don't put too much pressure 321 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: on it, just say it. 322 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 2: I said, brain love. I was like, that's it. It's 323 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 2: gonna stick with it. Then from there and then I 324 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 2: kind of lined like the whole thought process. 325 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: Of loving your mind, loving your brain, loving who you 326 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: are because at the end of the day, your mind 327 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: it's the foundation of how your body works and how 328 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: you react to different things and how you were how 329 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: you react to life. 330 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 2: And I was like, it's kind of perfect. 331 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: But also in this moment, I realized that these are 332 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: moments you listening to God because just because it's not 333 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: right doesn't mean it's not right, you know what I'm saying. 334 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: So it's one of them situations where like he gave 335 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: me another idea, but he also said how bad you 336 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: want it?

And I realized that 672 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 1: this can be pushed to people as well, because people 673 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 1: are probably just regular people trying to love themselves more 674 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 1: and having a product that they can speak to.

You 680 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, that's the energy, that's the community 681 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 1: right there. And by that, it's fostering evolution, evolving in 682 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: like how people really react to clothing because clothing, it's 683 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 1: hip hop, clothing is culture, you know what I'm saying, 684 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 1: Like that's what it is.

Yeah, because they're gonna be perious 757 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 1: where you're going, dott your confidence, you know what I'm saying. 758 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 2: So, Like, honestly, I don't know. I don't know how 759 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 2: you build confidence. I think you have. 760 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: It has to be one of them things where you 761 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,840 Speaker 1: gotta just own it, you know what I'm saying, and 762 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,239 Speaker 1: allow yourself to fail and be okay with that, you 763 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And I think that's one thing 764 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,320 Speaker 1: where I realize for myself is that I'm okay with felling, 765 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 1: but I know I'm gonna win, you know, what I'm saying. 766 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 1: But also it's one of them things too, is like 767 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,320 Speaker 1: you have to be honest with yourself. I think a 768 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 1: lot of arrepreneurs got all these ideas, but not honestly 769 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,279 Speaker 1: if it's a good idea, you know what I'm saying. 770 00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 1: So that's one thing I realize this too, is like 771 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,319 Speaker 1: we talked about this, it's like, if if your product sucks, 772 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 1: it sucks, don't try to like defend it. If it sucks, 773 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 1: if it ain't selling, that means that you need to 774 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,320 Speaker 1: fix some things. If the service is not selling, it 775 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 1: means you got to adjust some things, you know what 776 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,800 Speaker 1: I'm saying. So I think it's having confidence to believe 777 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:55,000 Speaker 1: in your ability to fix it. 778 00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 3: I think I think what confidence confidence comes from. To 779 00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,840 Speaker 3: your point, just it's trying and it's you know, and 780 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 3: it's trying and it's failing. I mean, you win too, 781 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:07,840 Speaker 3: but you know a lot of people are so scared 782 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 3: of failure, right that they don't try. And what I've 783 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 3: learned is that you know, that's where the experience and 784 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 3: the confidence comes from. Because even again, like you know, 785 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 3: I was I was talking to somebody around here, and 786 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 3: like I was telling them, I was like look like, yo, 787 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:28,280 Speaker 3: you're young, Go go do the thing. Like worst case scenario, 788 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 3: it doesn't work out, you just come back here and 789 00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 3: do something else. What I can tell you is that 790 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 3: even though I have tried many things and not everything 791 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,280 Speaker 3: is worked, nobody has ever laughed at me. Right, nobody, 792 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,720 Speaker 3: nobody's ever like put something up on. But like, ah, Brandon, 793 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 3: you tried and you sucked at this, you know what 794 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,680 Speaker 3: I'm saying. And so again we we kind of have 795 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,239 Speaker 3: this idea of like we're gonna get laughed at and 796 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,600 Speaker 3: talked about if we take a step and get out there. 797 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:52,920 Speaker 4: Like I hate to tell y'all, man, people don't care 798 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:54,359 Speaker 4: that much, you know what I mean. 799 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 3: Like not that they don't care, but they don't unless 800 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,239 Speaker 3: you just got enemies and people that just hate you. 801 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,880 Speaker 4: If you try it doesn't work, there's nobody there to 802 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 4: sit here and hold up a failing in your face. 803 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 1: Also, it's like you're not popping here. Yeah, the other part, 804 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:10,799 Speaker 1: it's like you're not popping. So you're putting too much 805 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 1: pressure in yourself to be something that no one's looking for. 806 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:15,759 Speaker 1: And I'm looking for you to be No one's looking 807 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,319 Speaker 1: for me to be the best brand in the world 808 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 1: right now.

It's everything. 831 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:24,280 Speaker 1: It's great, it's mindfulness, it's being able to pivot. It's 832 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,160 Speaker 1: not one of the other. You have to have all 833 00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:27,919 Speaker 1: these things if you want to be successful. I ain't 834 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,320 Speaker 1: talking about repreneurship. IM talking about this successful in general, 835 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So I think we got 836 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,040 Speaker 1: to stop putting out like failure is a part of 837 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 1: that and the world trying to paint this picture of 838 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 1: like failure is bad. 839 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 2: It's like no, like you have to failure or to 840 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:41,759 Speaker 2: move forward. 841 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 3: And like even this failure, like failure just means like 842 00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 3: you didn't potentially accomplish what you want to. It doesn't 843 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 3: mean that you like crashed and turned and lost everything, right, 844 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 3: Like you know, if you're trying to go somewhere you 845 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 3: didn't get like okay, I failed to get where I 846 00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 3: was going, right, But that doesn't mean that like you died, 847 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:01,400 Speaker 3: you know what I mean. And again I think that 848 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 3: like for whatever reason, we just have we think in 849 00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,640 Speaker 3: these extremes, right, And that's something I just really want 850 00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,400 Speaker 3: people to just understand, right, Like, yes, even if you 851 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:14,040 Speaker 3: quote unquote failed, that just means that you whatever mark 852 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,359 Speaker 3: you might have hit or tried to hit, you didn't 853 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 3: hit But that means it's not the worst possible version 854 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:20,399 Speaker 3: of how you did not hit that mark. 855 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,240 Speaker 4: You didn't go bankrupt, You're not you know, you're not homeless. 856 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:23,440 Speaker 2: You know. 857 00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, Like you didn't lose everything, 858 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 3: You just you didn't get the thing you want to 859 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 3: get done. And guess what, because you didn't have all 860 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:31,480 Speaker 3: those now you can still get up and try again. 861 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 2: Right Bill's characters too. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. 862 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,360 Speaker 1: That builds your ability to become a leader, because you 863 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:40,399 Speaker 1: can't lead people without understanding and experiencing what they're going 864 00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 1: to when real tim as well, Yeah, you know what 865 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 1: I mean, because we all go through the struggle, we 866 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,319 Speaker 1: all go through peers of doubt, we all go through 867 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,480 Speaker 1: peers are not reaching our goals, you know what I'm saying. 868 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:49,839 Speaker 1: And that's a part of life, and that's a part 869 00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,240 Speaker 1: of being a leader, but also being a leaders allowing 870 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 1: yourself to be able to pick people up. 871 00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,240 Speaker 2: But you can't pick people up if you can't pick yourself. 872 00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm seeing, like, you know, one of 873 00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:00,920 Speaker 3: the reasons why I I could I do a lot. 874 00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:02,800 Speaker 3: I've done a lot of stuff over my life and 875 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,520 Speaker 3: people you know, and it's just funny man.
