WEBVTT - Anthony Dirrell Full Interview 0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:04.200 Hi, Welcome to Money Making Conversation. I'm your host with 0:00:04.240 --> 0:00:08.120 Sean McDonald. Each Money Making Conversation talk shows about entrepreneurship 0:00:08.240 --> 0:00:12.040 and entertainment. I provide the consumer and business owner access 0:00:12.080 --> 0:00:16.560 to celebrities, CEOs, entrepreneurs, and industry decision makers. It is 0:00:16.600 --> 0:00:20.280 important to understand that everybody travels a different path to success. 0:00:20.680 --> 0:00:23.400 That's because your brand is different. The challenges you face 0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:26.040 in your life are different. So stop reading other people's 0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:29.200 success stories and start writing your own. Now, you can 0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:32.040 be motivated by their success because their stories can offer 0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:34.360 a direction and help you reach your goals through your 0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:37.680 planning and committed effort. That's what I'm talking about, your planning, 0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:40.960 your committed effort.

You know I can cook up. 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:43.000 My mama raised me to be a uh independent guy. Okay. 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:47.560 My mom and my grandfather, you know, Michigan went to 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:51.760 little with my grandfather when I was like thirteen. I 0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:54.640 think he took us over because my mom, you know, 0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:57.120 we had six we had I got five brothers and 0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:59.800 sisters and six kids for her was a lot, lot 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:03.880 And I understood, you know why we did that, just 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:07.680 being around the ladies in my family, my grandmother, my 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:11.560 my mom, sisters, hunts. You know, I learned. You know, 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.600 all I gotta do is watch. If I watch, I 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:16.880 can learn how to cook. My uncle can cook. I mean, 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:18.799 I don't know a guy in my family that can't. 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:22.320 So I cook it all. So I went. It's almost 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:23.880 kind of like you know you said, you know, you 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:25.720 kind of bragging here in front of me. We're nothing 0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:28.600 in your hands, you know, Like listen. So I went 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:32.080 to camp one time. It was Thanksgiving time, and like 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:35.560 I wanted foods, So I cooked some sweet potatoes. The 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:37.200 only thing I didn't cook was the turkey. You know 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:39.480 I usually cook at turkey. I cooked the sweet potatoes, 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:47.880 I cooked the greens. Yeah, for sure I couldn't. So, 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:50.160 you know, because I know a lot of people use 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:53.919 that kid stuff. That ain't what I do. Na what 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:58.600 kind of meat you put in there just to smoke turkey? Ye, 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:02.840 I'm a bacon guy. I mean, you know you can 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:04.919 do that too. You know you can do that too, 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.240 But that smoked turkey give it that smoke taste. So 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:12.000 my mama told me that, like you said, you she 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:14.600 shaped you to be an independent man. And but your 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:17.600 whole life is tied to being independent, being yourself. Following 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:20.200 your voice. Tell me a little bit about who you are, 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:24.320 Anthony Durrell. I'm a I'm a professional fighter. You know, 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:27.920 that's not what I want to I want to be 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.600 known as just the helper, you know, somebody that goes 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:32.840 out there to help people, you know, especially before you 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:37.000 is a professional fighter. I'm a boxer. I've been doing 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:39.840 this since I was nine years old, so that's really 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:43.960 you know what people think. I just know, but I 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:46.640 love boxing. Boxing. What is my life? You know, that's 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.320 how you know I got to the position that I mean, 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:52.040 and I'm grateful for my grandfather got me and when 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:54.720 I was like I say, nine, and I'm just so 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:57.560 happy that to be in this position. I had to 0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:01.800 fight for everything, you know, when I lost the world 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:04.160 tighter to when I got it back and then just 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:07.600 lost it again. But you know, good things. How do 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:09.800 you deal with those highs and loads? Because my show 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:13.280 Money Making Conversation tells people about overcoming the odds that 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:15.040 you know, you have to have a plan when you 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:17.200 get knocked out the company to ship back up or 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:20.360 walk straight when people think you should be you're running. 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:22.880 You just you just have to keep You have to 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.640 believe it in your mind that you know you can 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:29.000 keep moving forward. A loss is just something to get 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:31.400 you to the next step. Everybody takes a loss. Of 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.279 the grades took a loss. Mohammed Ali took a loss, 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:36.159 and that's not even it. If you look at the 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:39.560 successful business owner, they took a loss in some time, 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:43.240 but they still persevered and got past that, that that 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:46.279 hurdle that was in front of them, and then succeeded 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:51.080 to be million or billionaires. I only put boxing glows 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:54.520 on one time in middle school when out there swinging 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:58.679 my forces for swings, and my my arm just dropped 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:00.360 to my side. I couldn't pull them up no more. 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:02.800 That let me know that this is not what I 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:05.240 what you can do, it's easy. It's not easy, but 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:08.920 but you you make it look easy. Is that just okay? 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:11.159 Nine years old you put on the globes. How much 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:17.360 did they weight? They were? Uh, that's that's pretty heavy 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:20.400 because you're swinging. And I learned that when you miss, 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:24.280 it takes a lot more out of you. He definitely does, 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:27.280 definitely does. It's it's you know, I've been doing it 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:30.160 for twenty six years, so since I was nine years old. 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:33.000 Thirty five now, so twenty six years. It's it's a 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.320 long time, specially give use of something you know. I 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:38.640 can't if I go play basketball. I can't compete with 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:40.719 a guy who've been doing it twenty six years. I 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:43.240 just you know, I'm picking. I know how to do it, 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:45.920 but I'm not as good as that person. So when 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:50.520 somebody perfect their craft, you know, it's it's tough to 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:53.280 get them out, or it's you know, it's easier for 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:56.960 that guy too to keep going. Like I can go 0:05:57.000 --> 0:06:00.320 into the ring now me not through a point since 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:04.680 my last fight and still go probably ten rounds easy. 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:07.400 Just knowing how to get through the process. The technique 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:10.840 that too, and and you know, you gotta know how 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:13.360 to conserve. You gotta make that fighter on the other 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:17.360 side think that you're not tired or something that's coming 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:20.160 if you come in you know, it's just it's just stuff. 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:22.640 Like it's just little things. If you do the little things, 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:25.920 and this is not just boxing and anything, you can 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:28.760 get fired. The little things matter. It's not the big 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:31.159 things that everybody sees. The little thing. Well just really 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:33.719 interesting because I'm talking to you and you know your 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.719 you know your strength and weaknesses, and your opponent knows 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:40.080 your strength and weakness. And I know sometimes okay, God 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:42.720 like that like that now because and you use the 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:46.160 analogy about business a lot too, and in your sports, 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:49.679 and about overcoming the odds, about knowing how to market yourself, 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:53.160 knowing how to prepare, knowing how they and even business 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:55.840 people make a mistakes. Nobody has a perfect business. No, 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:58.560 Apple has not put out a product that walked off 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:01.360 the stores. That's why the keep coming off owns every year. Absolutely. 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:05.240 And so with that being said, you as an individual, uh, 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:08.279 you know, we all know with athleticism, is you know 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:11.800 the biggest champion or that you have to fight this age? 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.080 Does that? Does that work in your mind? I have 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:17.000 that that that's setting in your mind. That are you've 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.560 already prepared to say, Hey, I'm going to do this. 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:21.560 So I'm planning to do this with my life when 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:25.120 I'm for the fifty sixty or whatever. So my plan 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:29.720 when I when professional to retire at thirty five. I'm 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:36.240 thirty five. Now I lost my I lost my last fight. 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:40.200 But me being the competitor that I am, I can't 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:43.440 go out on the loss and I have to I 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:47.240 want another fight. If the championship fight comes this year, 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:51.040 it comes, but after this year, I'm done. And I 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:53.840 already have my mind made up of what I wanna do. 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:57.920 I want to. I want to start multiple business, not 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:01.880 just one. And I want to push other people and 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:04.600 motivate other people to do the same, you know, when 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:10.160 they retire, like in athletics, in any sport. I think 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:13.600 it should be mandatory that you take a class on 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:18.480 how to manage your money because because there there there's 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:21.600 no help like you give these kids. And I when 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:25.480 I say kids, it's kids. It's nineteen and twenty year olds, 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:28.320 millions and millions of dollars. They only can do one 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:32.000 thing with that's spend it because they didn't go to 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:35.440 school or don't have nobody with them to show them 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.360 the correct way to go. If I can take if 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:40.559 I can go back to my beginning of my career 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:44.040 right now, I would invest in so much more than 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:47.840 I am now that I wouldn't even need I wouldn't 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:49.680 need to do nothing else for the rest of my life. 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:54.640 We have to admit we all and I was in 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:57.360 I was in mortal, you know, and that I thought 0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:01.040 it seemed so far away, you know, It's like it's ridiculous, 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:04.160 how far away forty wars or sixty that that number 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:07.760 wouldn't even exist, you know. So so we play on 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:11.360 the on time because we see time as okay, I 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:14.080 have this time. We're thinking you're gonna do something forever 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:16.560 and you're not right, and that's what that's what you've done, 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:20.719 thinking you're gonna get that next. And with the athletes 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:23.280 like you live like, oh I got a million to 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:26.160 come back, but if you get hurt, that's gone, so 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:28.880 you gotta have something to fall back on. And me 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:31.800 being like you said, us being nineteen and twenty years 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:33.680 so we didn't think of that then we thought we 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:36.679 can get hurt, Oh we'll just come back. No, it's 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:41.600 gonna you gotta put some money aside or rainy day. Yes, 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:44.880 then that that's that's something that everybody can relate to 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:48.000 who made a mistake or realize I should save that 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:52.520 mode because it's as successful. That's I am. I would, man, 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.480 I showed I just started saving like that guy told 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:57.600 me when I was twenty four, because he told me, 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:00.920 he said, hey, hey, just fifty every hey period and 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:04.400 I kept saying fifty, man, you know what I could do? 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:06.160 I ain't got time for that. And if I do, 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:08.800 just listen to him, that fifty dollars may have been 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:13.000 a maybe an IBM stock twenty times triple and guess 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:15.920 what we would need to be talking right now. And 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:18.600 and I believe it. I believe. But that's where I think. 0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:22.800 You know, when you grow up, you learn so much 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:24.920 more because you look back on the things that you 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:28.040 did and reflect, like if I would have did this, now, 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:30.040 I can do it, and I'm gonna go do it now, 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:33.720 or give it to my kids or another kid that's 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:36.160 coming up in the game, or just want to do 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:38.079 the same thing that I'm doing. You know, you can 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:41.520 teach them, you know, the correct way, if they listen 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:43.360 or not, you can just put it in their ear. Well, 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:44.680 you know the thing about it. One of the reason 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:46.319 I wanted to bring on it, just like the third 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:49.720 we kind of missed you came to town and because 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:52.679 of the fact that you had setbacks in the early 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:55.320 age and so and that's why I always tell people, 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:58.440 you know, you don't know what your future. Even as 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:01.200 a young person. You might seem like, hey, endless opportunities, 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:05.520 but every every day you should feel understand it's a blessing. 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:08.959 Now I'm a cancer survivor, you know, I was diagnosed 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:11.480 that I had cancer in my fifties and it was 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:14.719 and it was. It was it was a major when 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:17.400 they told me I had cancers, like you know, it was. 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:20.760 I'll tell people, when somebody tell you cancer, you you 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:23.720 you don't understand what that word does to you. You know, 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:26.280 you can walk around, read about the newspaper, you can 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:29.559 read about the statistics and people are surviving. But when 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:34.199 they tell you you have it, that's a different conversation 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:39.160 because you start thinking immediately death immediately. I don't I 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:40.880 don't care what the stats are out there all you 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:43.480 because for some reason, that's all you think about. Oh 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:46.839 my god, it's all my loved ones. I want to 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:50.040 live a long time. How did you react to it, Anthony? 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:53.520 So when I had it, I was one. It was 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:59.600 two thousand six, so I think I was twenty one. Uh. 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:05.040 I didn't really know much about it, honestly, And when 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:07.600 I started reading up on it, that's when my I 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:10.719 started getting down and down and down, because like you say, 0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:12.839 when you think of cancer, you think of death. I mean, 0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:19.800 that's only that's true. Yeah, and that's true. And when 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:21.800 I went to the doctor, he said that it was 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:26.439 a nine percent curable rate kind of brought me up. 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:30.880 But that medicine still brought me down. Uh it was. 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:33.400 It was tough. Cancer. It's no joke. You know. I 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:36.760 was talking to this I've seen the kids smoking. Uh 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:39.800 couldn't have been. I don't even think there was eighteen. 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:43.520 And I said, why are you smoking? Because I know 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:46.520 what cancer, I know what I know what chemo feels like. 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:50.360 And they said it doesn't matter, I'm gonna die. I 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:53.040 was like, yeah, but that's not that's not it. Like 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:55.520 when the chemo is just it seems like it's just 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:57.079 worse than death to me. And I don't even know 0:12:57.120 --> 0:12:59.600 what death feels like, but it just seemed like it's worse. 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:04.480 It just had me just down the whole time. Body 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:07.640 wasn't feeling right. It just had me going through things 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:12.080 that that was a challenge. Then you recover correct and 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:18.520 then motorcycle twiter. So at you the point your life 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:22.000 on what that what's going on here? You know what? 0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:27.800 When I did get into the motorcycle accident, the first 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:30.920 thing I thought about was just me living or walking again, 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:33.880 just to play with my kids. Uh, that was the 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:37.280 first thing. But when I knew that it will be okay, 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:41.400 like I will recover fully, it, Uh you know what 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:46.120 was damage? So I broke my leg. So this finger 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:48.240 was here, this one was here. I mean you can 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:52.880 still see it. So your finger moving it cut on 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:56.360 your left hand. Yep, it could from this thing, you know, 0:13:57.240 --> 0:13:59.760 my index fingers where my thumb was. My thumb is 0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:06.360 where mine risk. So and they didn't even know at 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:08.559 the time. Oh when they knew about my hand, they 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:11.040 didn't know about my leg my leg. I had my bones. 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:14.040 They got my leg and they didn't they say, there's 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:16.400 anything else. So I said, yeah, my leg is broke. 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:19.280 They cut my pants and I went into sur I 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:22.840 think I was in surgery four hours maybe, So they 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:25.040 got a ride and my leg is still in the 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:28.640 have with your hand and my leg is broken. Ye, 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:32.560 so you just dealing with the pain at that time. Yeah, 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:34.240 I said, y'all gotta give me something. And then they 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:37.680 hit me with the more. I just went into heaven 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:41.520 like I could. And I was literally like when they 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:46.120 say your life flashed before your eyes before death. Honestly, 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:51.120 my life literally I've seen everything, Like this is no joke. 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:55.160 Right before I hit that car, IVE seen everything just 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:58.040 I mean it was like a split second, but everything 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:00.920 you can see it clearly, everything. And then I hit 0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:04.000 the car. But I got up. I have never blanked out. 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:06.360 I got up, but I fell back down and my 0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:08.600 leg was broke. I got back up again because I 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:10.440 didn't know what was wrong, and I fell back down. 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:12.520 They said stay down, your leg broke. But my leg 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:15.720 was twisted in the back, so my my front, my 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:18.560 foot was in the backwards and I had to flick 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:21.360 it back or whatnot. But yeah, it was. It was bad. 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:25.360 But I think everything happens for a reason. You know, 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:27.680 was I supposed to get it? Should I have been 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:31.080 on the motorcycle? Don't know, but I was. You know, 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.080 everything happens for a reason. I think it just makes 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:37.320 you a better person, you know it. It makes your 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:44.960 story better. And and if I could take something back 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:48.240 that in my life that happened, I will take. I 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:51.680 would change nothing because anything happens for a reason. It 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:53.880 molded me into who I know. Because when I hear 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:57.800 you talk and I'm talking to two times world middleweight 0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:01.920 champion Supermiddle, Age Super say they just put world was super. 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:05.160 I got put super right there, Super super middleweight champion 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:10.440 Anthony Durrell. You know I talked about, you know, my 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:14.680 lung collapse. You know, stay in hospital thirty days, I'll 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:17.640 talk about you know, I'm turned tires. I probably shouldn't 0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:19.880 have been driving a car, and I woke up and 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:24.200 I'm going, I'm five miles down the road, don't remember 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:26.560 the five miles and I did, and I don't even drink, 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:30.600 just doing stuff, pushing myself physically where I shouldn't have 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:33.720 not have pushed myself. And so so that's those are 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:36.400 the stories I have to tell people that, Okay, what 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:38.640 I did was stupid, and I'm alive to tell you 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:41.600 it was stupid. So that's my role that I played. 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:43.440 So when I listened to I'm asking you to tell 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:46.800 your story because of the fact that as we as 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:49.080 young people who listened to my show, we put a 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:52.760 time lyne on I wait, I'll do that later, and 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:55.200 you really don't know what later is or what later 0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:58.720 can bring you. So when people talk about saving money, 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:01.360 people talk about get that education, people talk about living 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:04.439 your life, pursuing opportunities that being given to you and 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:06.800 not realizing that blessing because you think you can wait. 0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:10.919 Your experience is being chronicle right now for us on 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:13.760 this show says do it now, right. You have to 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:17.280 live every day in that moment, I don't think because 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:20.480 tomorrow is not promising. You know, we see that from 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:23.840 Kobe Bryant and and and rest in peace to her 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:27.280 and conduce this goes out to his family, but we 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:31.280 see that in that. But you have to live for 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:33.960 the day. You can't live for tomorrow. You can't live 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:36.840 for the week. You have to live for the day. 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:38.919 And and that's the big thing. That's the thing I 0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:44.000 don't think you know, younger people UH understand about about life. 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:46.679 It's life. You have to you have to live it 0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:50.760 in I think you live it. You know how you 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:53.320 want to live it. You know you you you you 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:55.240 do things that you want to do. If you don't 0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:59.080 explore this world or get out and get out your 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:02.199 comfort zone something time, it'll be I mean, it's just be. 0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:04.480 It'd be bad.

So I lived in Chicago five years, 0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:33.600 so I got closed and I got clothes I can't 0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:36.199 wear nowhere else but in Chicago, because you know, it 0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:42.160 hits some snow yesterday.

It's all right, But so 0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:55.960 why do you stay up there? Why is Michigan part 0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:58.239 of your just part of your your lifestock because you 0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:01.040 have the money and the success to live anywhere while 0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:04.160 you're why are you staying in Michigan?
