So I could just sit back and be happy. 62 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: So so because that's what you want, you do. You know, 63 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: your God has giving you, has blessed you with a talent. 64 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 1: You want to live this talent. But there's competition out there. 65 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: What what keeps you going? I'd be real she like 66 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: how you were saying, if I was to just get 67 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 1: something handed to me, it wouldn't really mean much. Um, 68 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: you know, I do already take handouts. I never got 69 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: handouts like within life. You know, every every stepping stone, 70 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: every achievement that I've ever gotten, I had to work 71 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: really hard towards it. So everything that I ever achieved 72 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: that always meant a lot for me just because I 73 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: had to work so hard just to gain it, you know, 74 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,119 Speaker 1: like I was. For example, when I was in college, 75 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: I ended up becoming um like All American my junior 76 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: year at my position, and you know that was the 77 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: first big year I had. But I used to put 78 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: in so much work either stay after practice about like 79 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: thirty minutes after after each practice. So you know, just 80 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: over time, all that hard work paid off me being 81 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 1: undrafted and then actually making a roster That was huge 82 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: for me because you know I was that was a 83 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: backup for so long. You know, I never got too 84 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: much play time, but then when I got my time 85 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: to shine, I put on You know, well, I'm proud 86 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 1: of myself. Well you should be. You should be because 87 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: a lot of people allow I call those stop sizes 88 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: a roadblocks or uh. People will tell you they've been 89 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: once you move on, won't you give up? Dude? What 90 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: you find? Something else told you? Why are you changing 91 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: their dream? That dream makes your dream? And there's a 92 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: lot of doubters out there. How do you hand with 93 00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:01,119 Speaker 1: people who question your motivation of question your career path? Yeah? 94 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,359 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, for me, I look at it 95 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: like this, I'm gonna put everything into this game that 96 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: I that I'm playing, or any any any trying to 97 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: any kind of goal that I'm trying to achieve. I'm 98 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: gonna put everything into it just because I don't want 99 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 1: to look back and be like I should have done this, 100 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 1: I should have done that. Um, I should have never 101 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: fed into the people that doubted me. You know people 102 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: that it's always people want that's gonna doubt you, whether 103 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: you're doing good or bad. You know, it's it's somebody. 104 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: There's somebody that's gonna always have something negative to say, 105 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: but I try to just tune them out, just because 106 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, the majority of people 107 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: that doubt you, they're not even close to your level. 108 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 1: They're not even trying to do anything on on your level. 109 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: So it's like, like, what's the point of paying attention 110 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: to somebody that's achieved half of what you what you 111 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: have already gotten. M h. And it's important because I 112 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: remember when I was doing stand up comedy and people 113 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: you funny, you reach your pride fund?

It's called low Key Lit. Yeah. 192 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: So with low Key Lit, I came up with the concept. 193 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: I basically was traveling, you know, from different places, you know, 194 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: from state to state. My um, I think second year, 195 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: after the season with my agent, you know, I went 196 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: to the When did I go to I went to 197 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,559 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl in Houston. I had a couple of 198 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: events had to do there with him. Then I had 199 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: I went to the All Star Game that year. Then 200 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: I traveled to Miami. Says I traveled to Miami. So 201 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 1: then thinking back to when I was doing that, I 202 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: was thinking, like, I'm traveling to all these different places, 203 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: I should try to monetize it or you know, do 204 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 1: something and create a following. Because I felt like I 205 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: was going to all these like, you know, I wanted 206 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: to know what were the best places to eat when 207 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:48,199 Speaker 1: I was in those locations. So I came up with 208 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: the concept of low Key Lit because I wanted to 209 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 1: be the guy that everybody can reach out to if 210 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: they wanted to know what place to eat in a 211 00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: certain city, so I basically them up with the show 212 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: I wanted to. It's called low Key Lit because I 213 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: go to the places that are literally low key and 214 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: they're lit. Like places are like, you know, not many 215 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: people would know about. You know, they're like my pop shops, 216 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: but like you know, just like everyone else, you know, 217 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: the Mama pop shops have like some of the best flavors. 218 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: You know. I went to a place, Yeah, I went 219 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: to a place in Atlanta one time, and I had 220 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: to put them on my show called Mr. Everything. Um, 221 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: it's a really nice place to have like you know, 222 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 1: steam veggies. Everything was grilled over rice. You know, steam 223 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: veggies was like a certain meat, whether it's like salmon, um, chicken, 224 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: et cetera. And they would have like really great food. 225 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: So I had to put them on the show. That 226 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: was one of my first episodes when I was growing. 227 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: And you know, I just love the fact that I 228 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: can go to these hidden gems and show my perspective 229 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: of it from my athletes perspective, and I would just 230 00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 1: put a you know, plenty of my different teammates on 231 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: there as well. Now here's just there for the athletes perspective. See, 232 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: I'm not an athlete. I was just a regular eater now, 233 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: you know. So with that being said, what what what 234 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: are the the you said?
