111
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,000

Speaker 1: talented he is. He's just gonna decide on his reality show,

113

Speaker 1: you don't do it, do it? Do it? And not

116
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: afraid to do. Go it do to do. You got

117
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: a lot of keys. But here's the thing about what

118
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about on this show because I

119
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: was talking My show is about the entrepreneurship Tamline David.

120
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: And you know, in this business, you come you come

121
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: in based on your talent, okay, and and God that's

122

Speaker 1: given both of you, individual to individual, tremendous amount of talent.

123
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: But I see over the years you're starting to control

124
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: your own destiny, okay. And if you can talk to

125
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: us a little bit about that, And when did it

126
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: really making you realize that you know that you can

127
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: actually book yourself, you can actually create your own music

128
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: production company. When did all that start to fall in place?

129
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: You know, we kind of started back in I think

130
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: we did our first album in two thousand four right

131
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: there somewhere and there, And it's because we've seen how

132
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: the labels were treating artists and it was like, you know,

133
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: I know how to do music. I know that Tamla

134
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: as one of those going with the voices, So it

135
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: was just like, let's do our own. You know. At first, now,

136
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you, at first then was like I

137
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: ain't having it. She was like, I'm not finished being

138
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: no solo album by myself and go out there by herself.

139
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: But I just believed in so much in what we had.

140
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: I just said, let's put the music together and put

141
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: it out there and it's such good people will buy it. People,

142
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: you know, we love it. So we just decided to

143
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: create our own And I just believe in ownership. And

144
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: you know, seeing you guys, guys like you who started

145
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: to control their own narrative in this business and not

146
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: allow people to tell you that you could do this,

147
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: you can't do that, and that's you know, having good

148
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: examples like that helped as well. Well, you know, it's important.

149
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: And thank you for that compliment because I always tell

150
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: people I didn't. I didn't there was no blueprint. And

151
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,119
Speaker 1: then and I guess what was our afraid was Steve

152
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: Harvey afraid? Yeah, because unknown makes you're afraid, but you

153
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: have to walk past it. What you said, I was

154
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: just about to say, you have to do it, afraid,

167
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: let's talk about the album because last time he was

168
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 1: on my show earlier in the year, we talked about that.

169
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 1: Now we were it's October, November's next month. Is about

170
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: to happen? Any hiccups? Is it where you wanted to be?

171
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 1: Is everything timing out like you wanted to want it

172
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: to happen. What's happened is it's a lot. We put

173
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: so much at one time where the body can't keep

174
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: up with the work. But I mean we've I've really

175
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 1: enjoyed it to be in the studio with David again

176
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 1: after over fifteen years, because let's talk about I've been

177
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: pulling teeth with him to sing with me on my records,

178
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: and he was like every time it's time for him

179
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: to do it. The studio session, find something to do. Yeah,

180
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: well I just hold on, hold on hold of that.

181
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: I would be you know, David can sing. David, I

182
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: know I would joke around about his singing. He could

183
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: sing that. But you know, Tamla, you can sing. And

184
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: that's why it was so difficult for me to go

185
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: come on, so I thought you was gonna be on

186
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: my It' very it's very intimidating to sing with Tamelo. Man.

187
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: You know, I know how this thing it's not for you.

188
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: It's not for you because it's you. But the team

189
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: that we put together, the writing team that my frind,

190
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: David J put together for this whole project, they Taylor

191
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: made the songs and the lyrics everything just for me.

192
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: So it made it comfortable. I mean, they made it

193
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: very comfortable for us to get go in and do

194
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: the music. So that's what made it easy for me

195
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: because at first I was I was shaking in my

196
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: boost that first time. You I've seen the acapella. I've

197
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: seen her acappella. Okay, bringing down the house, twenty thousand

198
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: people just throw hard, Mike on the front row. She

00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: Why is such a beautiful steak? I'll tell you this,

362
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: the first time you come to Alastka. You gotta do

363

365
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: all the wildlife and the beautiful scenery in Alaska. That's

366
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: that's what we're known for. That's the that's the best

367
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: part of Alaska. So I definitely recommend that. And then um,

368
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: just go out and get some good food. You know,

369
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,440

00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: very diverse out there and it's actually pretty good food.

372
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 1: And cruise is two things I recommend. Cool Ah, Marie,

373
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: how did you get your sharn up to Alaska Military?

374
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: My husband was in the military Air Force and so

375
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: we were there and I played the fourth so um goer.

376
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: Mario was born that and we raised both of our

377
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: kids there. M nomber as you this now, you know,

378
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: being a mom and being and and and and watching

379
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 1: your son, you know, because he he was used in Alaska.

380
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: Then he made the decision. I want to talk a

381
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: little bit about that. We're gonna get to the book

382
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: is the book ABC is a basketball which is really

383
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: important to the youth of America. But I also want

384
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: to talk about the journey because when you when you

385
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: when you an athlete, because you're you're you know, you're

386
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 1: McDonald's all American, Mario, you go to a school like

387
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 1: Kansas and then you and ther away from your family.

388
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:44,119

392
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,080

393
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: the coach of bill self, I believe it's the coach

394
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 1: of a cancer university. Uh did you to go to Kansas?

395

396
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: I gotta get back. This is just the right decision.

397
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: How did you make the transition? Um? Actually the transition

398
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: was easy for me. Um. All my friends played basketball. Um,

399
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: I hang out with an older crowd. So two of

400
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 1: my best friends they went off to play college basketball,

401
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: and I was there the last of my senior years.

402
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: So for me, just getting out that was my main focus.

403
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: Getting out of being being a positive guy for the

404
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 1: community and you know, showing people that you can't make

405
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: it about make it out of Alaska, to make it

406
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: big in sports world, and you know, that was my

407
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: main focus and put a lask on the mess Okay,

408
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: al Marie, are your son this foundation? You just ceo

409
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: this foundation? Okay, let me just ask you this because

410
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: I was always important that I feel athletes get back.

411
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: I have a foundation of understanding their role. What what

412
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: role did you play? Are you playing in the messaging

413
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: and the foundation? Oh? The role is just keeping the

414
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: message alive and supporting the vision that Mario first came

415
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 1: up with, which was um formulated when we lost a

416
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: dear friend of breast Camper. He just wanted to dedicate

417
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: you know, time and energy to supporting the cause. And

418
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 1: so once that was his vision, we went to work

419
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: on making things happen by connecting with various people in

420
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: different communities and of course Kansas has been one of

421
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: our biggest supporters because of the fact he wasn't there

422
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: and we were blessed to be able to open up

423
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: a Mario's closet which is located in the local hospital

424
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: by things for you know, breast cancer survivors. Now what

425
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: what what local is that in Kansas the hospital wing

426
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:45,360
Speaker 1: gets opened. Yeah, larga Maria Hospital and it's actually a

427
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: a closet. Is that's the concept that it was a

428
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: closet that was a feasible and flexible and available first

429
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: patients without having to go different places. Especially when it

430
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: comes down to the hairy mogal process, which really interesting

431
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,199
Speaker 1: because when I read your body or when you know,

432
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 1: they bring all kind of everybody. My staff pitches me,

433
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 1: show ideas, guest ideas, and my older sisters she passed

434
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: away to breastcastle and so so when I saw what

435
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: you was doing your foundation, that really really I gotta help,

436
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: you know, promote your brain and get your word out.

437
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: But you know, because you know, you're you know, you're

438
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: a talented athlete, and you you raised your son right.

439
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: Ms Thomas, you raised it right, and that that has

440
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 1: to be said correctly because we have so many stories

441
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: about the misguided athlete, dysfunctional, don't have a relationship, you know,

442
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: being raised by somebody else's family. I'm so tired of

443
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: that store. You know, we're fortunate that our story is

444
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 1: we were able to raise our sign and support them

445
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: as well as his sister. And although we did this

446
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: in Alaska and we still had a good support system

447
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: in the lower forty eight as we called it, and

448
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,439
Speaker 1: we were blessed to be able to put him in

449
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: a position to go and live a dream. What is

450
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: that dream? Mario? What is that dream? You've been in Miami?

451
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: I know it was a dream down there that being

452
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: in Miami was a benefit. The dream was always looking

453
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: to the NBA no matter where I was, That's what

454
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 1: I wanted to be. Oh, Miami boy, I've been down

455
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: to Miami. Mario, you were the Miami. I knew it

456
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: was the love you still you still have a place

457
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: down in Miami. You're all up in Detroit. Now, what's

458

Speaker 1: And when did it really making you realize that you

611
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 1: know that you can actually book yourself, you can actually

612
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: create your own music production company. When did all that

613
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: start to fall in place? You know, we kind of

614
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 1: started back in I think we did our first album

615
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: in two thousand four right there somewhere there, and it's

616
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 1: because we've seen how the labels were treating artists, and

617
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: it was like, you know, I know how to do music.

618
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: I know that Tavila as one of those going with

619
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: the voices. So it was just like, let's do our own.

620
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,399
Speaker 1: You know. At first, now, I'm gonna tell you, at

621
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: first then was like I ain't having it. She was like,

622
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be no solo album by myself and

623
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: go out there by herself. But I just believed in

624
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,879
Speaker 1: so much of what we had I just said, let's

625
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: put the music together and put it out there, and

626
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: it's such good people will buy it. People, you know,

627
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: we love it. So we just decided to create our

628
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: own and I just believe in ownership. And you know,

629
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: seeing you guys, guys like you who started to control

630
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: their own narrative in this business and not allow people

631
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 1: to tell you that you can do this, you can't

632
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: do that, and that's you know, having good examples like

633
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 1: that helped as well. Well, you know, it's important. And

634
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: thank you for that compliment because I always tell people

635
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't. There was no blueprint and and

636
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,919
Speaker 1: I guess what was our afraid was Steve Harvey afraid? Yeah,

637
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: because unknown makes you're afraid, but you have to walk

638
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: past it. What you said, I was just about to see,

639
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,879
Speaker 1: you have to do it afraid, and that's what that's

640
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: that's what you guys did, and that's what I that

641
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: I've just seen that develop over the years with with this.

642
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: And I look at the month of November and you guys, uh,

643
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: that's a Thanksgiving month for the Man family and the

644
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,160

Speaker 1: your first album drops, Us Against the World. The Love

651
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: Project drops November night. First, let's talk about the album,

652
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 1: because last time he was on my show earlier in

653
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: the year, we talked about that. Now we were it's October,

654
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 1: November's next month is about to happen, and any hiccups?

655
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,240
Speaker 1: Is it where you wanted to be? Is everything timing

656
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:33,399
Speaker 1: out like you wanted to want it to happen. What's

657
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: happened is it's a lot. We put so much at

658
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 1: one time where the body can't keep up with the work.

659
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: But I mean we've I've really enjoyed it to be

660
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: in the studio with David again after over fifteen years,

661
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: because it's think about I've been pulling teeth with him

662
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 1: to sing with me on my records, and he was like,

663
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 1: every time it's time to him to do it the

664
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,839
Speaker 1: studio sessions, he finds something to do. Yeah, well, im

665
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,959
Speaker 1: just hold on, hold on hold of that I would

666
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: be you know, David can sing a J David, I know,

667
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: I would joke around about his sing. He could sing that.

668
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:15,359
Speaker 1: But you know, Tamla, you can sing. And that's why

669
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: it was so difficult for me to go come on,

670
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: so I thought you was gonna be on my It's

671
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: very it's very intimidating to sing with Tamela. Man, you

672
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: know what it's like, I know how this thing it's

673
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: not for you. It's not for you because it's you.

674
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 1: But the team that we put together, the writing team

675
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: that my son David J. Put together for this whole project.

676
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: They Taylor made the songs and the lyrics, everything just

677
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: for me. So it made it comfortable. I mean, they

678
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 1: made it very comfortable for us to get go in

679
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: and do the music. So that's what made it easy

680
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,280
Speaker 1: for me because at first I was I was shaking

681
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: in my boost that first time you have I've seen

682
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,720
Speaker 1: an acapella. I've seen her acapella. Okay, bringing down the house,

683
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 1: twenty thousand people just throw hard Mike on the front row.

684
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 1: She get up like you know know that you don't

Speaker 1: the scales. She don't do nothing, David, do this, do this, everybody,

687
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 1: this is our challenged you go, oh, just Steve Harbers,

00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:32,600

691
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,680

692
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 1: being intimidated after all those credits. I just read and

693

Speaker 1: your son, you know, because he he was used in Alaska,

864
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:17,800

865
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:19,479
Speaker 1: little bit about that. We're gonna get to the book

866

867
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 1: important to the youth of America. But I also want

868
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 1: to talk about the journey because when you when you

869
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:32,320
Speaker 1: when you an athlete, because you're you're you know, you're

870
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:36,880

00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 1: the coach of a cancer university recruited you to go

879
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:05,160

Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I gotta get back. This is just the

881
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 1: right decision. How did you make the transition? Um? Actually

882
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 1: the transition was easy for me. Um. All my friends

883
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,800
Speaker 1: played basketball. Um, I hang out with an older crowd.

884
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,440

885
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 1: play college basketball, and I was there the last of

886
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:24,439
Speaker 1: my senior years. So UM, for me, just getting out.

887
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:26,799
Speaker 1: That was my main focus, getting out of being being

888
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 1: a positive guy for the community and you know, showing

889
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:31,799
Speaker 1: people that you can't make it about make it out

890
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 1: of Alaska, to make it big in sports world, and

891
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 1: you know that was my main focus. Who put a

892
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 1: lask on the message? Okay, all Marie, are your son

893
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:42,279
Speaker 1: this foundation? You just ceo this foundation? Okay, let me

894
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 1: just ask you this because I was always important that

895
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 1: I feel athletes get back. I have a foundation of

896
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 1: understanding their role. What what role did you play? Are

897
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 1: you playing in the messaging and the foundation? Oh? The

898
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:59,719
Speaker 1: role is just keeping the message alive and supporting the

899
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 1: vision and that Mario first came up with, which was

900
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 1: formulated when we lost a dear friend the breast cancer

901
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:10,239
Speaker 1: and he just wanted to dedicate you know, time and

902
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:13,279
Speaker 1: energy to supporting the cause. And so once that was

903
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 1: his vision, we went to work on making things happen

904
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 1: by connecting with various people in different communities and of

905
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:22,360
Speaker 1: course Kansas has been one of our biggest supporters because

906
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:25,359
Speaker 1: of the fact he was in school there and we

907
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,800
Speaker 1: were blessed to be able to open up a Mario's closet,

908
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:32,319
Speaker 1: which is located in the local hospital by things for

909
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 1: you know, breast cancer survivors. Now what what what local

910
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 1: is that in Kansas the hospital wing gets opened? Yeah

911
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:46,400
Speaker 1: what large Maria hospital and it's actually a a closet

912
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:48,719
Speaker 1: is that's the concept that it was a closet that

913
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:53,400
Speaker 1: was a feasible and flexible and available first patients without

914
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 1: having to go different places. Especially when it comes down

915
00:51:56,200 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 1: to the hairy mogal process, which really interesting because when

916
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 1: I read your body or when you know, they bring

917
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:06,360
Speaker 1: all kinds of everybody. My staff pitches me, show ideas,

918
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 1: guest ideas, and my older sisters she passed away to

919
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:11,840
Speaker 1: breast cascer. And so so when I saw what you

920
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: was doing your foundation, that really that really I got

921
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 1: to help, you know, promote your brain and get your

922
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 1: word out. But you know, because you know, you're you know,

923
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:22,719
Speaker 1: you're a talent athlete and you you raised your son right.

924
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 1: Ms Thomas, you raised it right, and that that has

925
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 1: to be said correctly because we have so many stories

926
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 1: about the misguided athlete, dysfunctional, don't have a relationship, you know,

927
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:36,680
Speaker 1: being raised by somebody else's family. I'm so tired of

928
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:42,279
Speaker 1: that store. You know, we're fortunate that our story is

929
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:44,279
Speaker 1: we were able to raise our sign and support him

930
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:46,400
Speaker 1: as well as his sister. And although we did this

931
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:49,440
Speaker 1: in Alaska and we still have a good support system

932
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 1: in the lower forty eight as we called it, and

933
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:53,840
Speaker 1: we were blessed to be able to put him in

934
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 1: a position to go and live with dreams. What is

Speaker 1: on life or what? Talk to me about that? Um,

949
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 1: it did kind of change my outlook on life. You

950
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 1: know before before you have kids and being a teenager

951
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 1: in college you get to run wild and do what

952
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:59,160
Speaker 1: everything I mean with their reason have fun. So um

953
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 1: I have. I had my first kid the year we

954
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 1: won the national championship. So it was it was a

955
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:07,400
Speaker 1: bitter sweet moment for me. Um. You know, of course

956
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 1: I love having my son, love having him, but at

957
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:11,520
Speaker 1: the moment in time, it was it was a hard

958
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:15,759
Speaker 1: transition just being a college athlete. Um, thinking about making

959
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 1: my next move going to the NBA. So um, it

960
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:20,239
Speaker 1: was a lot of going back and forth with me.

961
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 1: But you know, at the end of the day, guy

962
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:23,239
Speaker 1: took care of it. He worked it out best for

963
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:26,400
Speaker 1: me and my family and for my sons. So um,

964
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 1: everything came together and it just made me grow up

965
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:32,160
