1
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: What's up everybody? This is the people Shark Hair Damon

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: John with a motivation moment for you. Courtesy of that

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: Moment with Damon John, a production of The Black Effect

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,239
Speaker 1: Podcast Network and iHeartRadio all right. Now here is a

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 1: very interesting fact. In a twenty eighteen sixty minute interview,

6
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: Paul McCartney actually admitted that none of the Four Beatles

7
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: actually understood music theory and couldn't read or write music. Now,

8
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: there is so much to unpack here. You would have

9
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: never known that by listening to the Beatles' music. They

10
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: have broken so many records and have changed the course

11
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,520
Speaker 1: of music history. And they didn't know how to read

12
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: or write music. But here's what happened. They had a

13
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: natural talent. They had a gift, and you should never

14
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: lack the fact that you don't have formal train to

15
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: stop you from growing and using your account. In their case, listen,

16
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: they understood the technicalities of music. In your case, well,

17
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: maybe do you understand why people act a certain way

18
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: or how the body moves. Never let people hold you

19
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 1: back because you don't have formal training. Now, am I

20
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: a huge advocate for formal training, absolutely, but a lot

21
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: of us cannot afford formal training. I did not know

22
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: how to sew well, but I knew how to brand,

23
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: and I knew how to market. I knew there was

24
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: a desire for people who were being neglected by the

25
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: big corporations. I believe Michael Dell didn't know much about computers,

26
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: but he felt that it was too intimidating. You see,

27
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: there's always a path to success, and you do not

28
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: have to follow what other people deem as the only

29
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: way to succeed. Many people will have a higher education,

30
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: may say, how dare you? Many people who did not

31
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: follow and have a higher education say it's impossible. It

32
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: really is up to you, and it's up to you

33
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: to have a passion, find those other people around you

34
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: that have the same passion. Put in the time and effort,

35
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: because that's the only thing that you will not be

36
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: able to get around you. You will learn in life

37
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: through either your mentors or your mistakes. And if you

38
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: don't have those people around you to cheat, you will

39
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: then put in ten thousand hours and make as many

40
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: mistakes as you can. But no matter what, I will

41
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: see you at the top. Do not let perceive barriers

42
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: ever hold you back. Make sure you Tune in every

43
