Paul Brunsman, if he recently moved 34 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: to the UK, has the Relationship show was picked up 35 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: my own years ago and they put them on a 36 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: great path. I was in the Mastermind group with Paul 37 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: and he said, Mark, your power, your energy is amazing, 38 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: but you got to get it out to the world. 39 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: So he said, in today's era of social media, you 40 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: just gotta let it all out and that led me 41 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: to start doing videos. And I was standing still. He said, Mark, 42 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: that's not enough. You too posserble start walking around. And 43 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 1: then when I was in Atlanta, I was at John 44 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: Hope Bryant's Hope Global for him and that was the 45 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: first one I did walking around and he said, that's good, Mark, 46 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: I feel it. But it's another level. And and and listen, 47 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: Mr Rishan, when I started putting that video camera down 48 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: and just started letting guy use me naturally, that's what 49 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: you see today, and that's what's bringing everyone in the 50 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: world is taking notice. When I take notice. I showed 51 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: it to my staff. I told him, I said this, 52 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:46,959 Speaker 1: I helped up. I said, this the guy one of 53 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: my show. Right here, Mark, look at it. Let's get 54 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: right here. Look like he moves back, he runs to 55 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: the camera, goes back, he makes that statement and the 56 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: steps back. I said, he does it everywhere he could be. 57 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: He could be on the street, he could be in 58 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: the parking lot, he could be in the building. I 59 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: just love the fact that you're saying you're willing to 60 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: take your your message wherever it needs to be heard. 61 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: That's basically what you're saying in your videos. Correct, I 62 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: am definitely saying that. And here's the thing. See, I 63 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: get motivated when I can motivate others. God set me up, 64 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: and see what happens is that this is the only 65 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: thing that's this liberating for me. It's liberating. I've been 66 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: holding that power in for so long and now you know, 67 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: we're getting the other questions later. But I made millions 68 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: and lost it all. But now I'm in alignment with 69 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: my purpose. So now I'm able to do things like 70 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: this video and just let all the power out because 71 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: my job is to take the power that's in me 72 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: and transferred to the people of the world. Well what 73 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: you do? You caught my eye and I find it 74 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: because I feel you know when you when you're in 75 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: this business is a competitive business, Okay, motivation and information 76 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: and you know what separates you what catches a person 77 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: I and and allows them to share your views? And 78 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: that's the whole thing. In social media. You know, you're 79 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: marketing and brandy machine, and so what's your hook, what's 80 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: your take on it and how you can grow your 81 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: brand and basically what you're doing and in developing this technique, 82 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: I find it. Uh, can I congratulate you on that. 83 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: And one of the reason I'm a fan is because 84 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: I know that's tied to a plan, a plan of action. Correct, Yes, absolutely, absolutely, yes, 85 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 1: it's definitely tied to a plane of action. And again 86 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 1: you know, um, and that's how ironic. We're in Black 87 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: History month and um, what happened is that you know 88 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: Martin had a dream. We all know that. But I 89 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 1: also had a dream at the age of fifteen. In fact, 90 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: I had the same dream each and every night for 91 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: an entire year. And this is what it looked like. 92 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 1: I'm talking about. When I wake up and fall back 93 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: to sleep, the dream continue. When I go to sleep 94 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 1: the next night, the dream continues for an entire year. 95 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: So so Mr Rashawn Is, I stand on your show 96 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 1: and I sit and I spill my heart out to 97 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: you into the audience. I'm here to tell you that 98 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 1: that dream is coming true right here, right now. So 99 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: I'm a testament that life is real. You can create 100 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: your own life. We're on a delayed gratification scale. That's why. 101 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: Your life is created by how you think, how you feel, 102 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: and how you respond to situations. I'll say it again, 103 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: your life is created by how you think how you 104 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: feel and how you respond to situation. Well, Mr back, 105 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: you have not failed me so far in this interview. 106 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: Now your book here how to be one with your greatness? 107 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: Before we get into the book, I had one question, 108 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 1: what is your greatness? My greatness and I and this 109 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: is a great question. In fact, I was talking to 110 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 1: a couple of friends the other day, and my view 111 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: of greatness is that greatness is in the eye of 112 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:43,359 Speaker 1: the beholder, meaning that everyone's greatness may look and feel different. 113 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: That's why we're all made distinctively different. And here's how 114 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: you know. Because that fingerprint that you walk around with 115 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: that DNA is unmatchable. You can search the whole world, 116 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: but there's no one that can specifically match your fingerprints. 117 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 1: So that's basically what my greatness is is to come 118 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: and total alignment with that fingerprint, with that uniqueness that 119 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 1: I was created to be. So in doing that, and 120 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: I'm trying to get into the book a little bit, 121 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: But you gotta come in alignment with your truth and 122 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: so so therefore you gotta first learn what your truth is. 123 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 1: Because what life does. It forces things on you. So 124 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: it forces education, all these other things on you. But 125 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: the true true definition of education is not systematic knowledge 126 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 1: to go out and make other people wealthy. True definition 127 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: of education is not is development from within. So we're 128 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: already wired for greatness. But when we come into this world, 129 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 1: they've bombarred you with other aspects of what you have 130 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 1: to do. And often times we we put up these 131 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: artificial layers to try to suffice all of these things 132 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,679 Speaker 1: that are coming at us in life. When the truth 133 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: of the matter is that you're already wired for greatness. 134 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: You just gotta resist the external and believe and what's inside. 135 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 1: My man, we're talking to you. Markdi baxter Uh, author 136 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: of How to Be One with Greatness. You were born 137 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,919 Speaker 1: to be great this book I read it always what 138 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: I when I do when I bring authors on the show. 139 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: I always read the book to day out, you know, 140 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: like I get up earlier, read this so everything stays 141 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: real fresh. And that was some really key moments in 142 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: your growth, you know, five, six, nine, early years you 143 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: know that were defining. And the reason I bringing that 144 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: up because it's important to understand that you can be 145 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: shaped so clean in those early years and a lot 146 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: of people understand how important it is to start really 147 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: you know, putting a proper imprint on the kid, because 148 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: those memories can carry you to adulthood as it has 149 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: you because it's it's written in your book when you 150 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: were five years old, when your brother Tony walked you 151 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: down to your school for the first time, he was 152 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: excited and then he just let you go. Yeah, it 153 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: was a traumatic It was a traumatic experience. And what 154 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: you you said that, Mr Rashawn, you that it We 155 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: are all a product of our home, our environment, and 156 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: our experiences. We are all products of our home, our environment, 157 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: and our experiences. And whatever you choose to do back 158 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: in the day, n w A say mix it in 159 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: a pot like gumbo. So however you mix it in 160 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: your pots, and whatever recipe you come out with is 161 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: what you have to deal with. See, I was challenged 162 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: with a lot of adversity early on in my life 163 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: and throughout my life because I understand for who much 164 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,559 Speaker 1: has given, much is required. And see, you gotta change 165 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: your perception of adversity. Adversity is not bad. Adversity is 166 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: nothing more than growth opportunities because the only way you 167 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 1: can grow is by being challenged. So you gotta change 168 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: the way you look at adversity and that's what my 169 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: life has toward me early on in my life. I'm 170 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: from I'm from a very dysfunctional household. I have a 171 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: mom that didn't finish high school. She's from South Carolina, 172 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: has to grow up really, really hard. And I have 173 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: a dad that only went to the sixth grade from Savannah, Georgia. 174 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 1: And they both my great here to Philadelphia and and 175 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: and created a relationship. And don't get me wrong, God 176 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: rest my dad and my mom. I lost my dad 177 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: on June eight to, two thousand and eighteen. I lost 178 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: my mom on June twenty last year, two thousand nineteen. 179 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: God rest their soul. But the truth of the matter 180 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: is that, you know, I'm a realist. They should have 181 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 1: never been married. You know, they created, and I love 182 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: my siblings and I'm thankful for being created. But you know, 183 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: you gotta call us fade of spade. And growing up 184 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: in the household, it was very traumatic. I mean, they 185 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: slept in separate rooms, stretching to kill each other every day. 186 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: And then we were in the hood, we were from poverty, 187 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: and then on top of that, then so so so 188 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: everything is just reinforcing the negativity. And then on top 189 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,599 Speaker 1: of that, I was the youngest, and all of this 190 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: drives and all of this insight inside of me, and 191 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: I had no outlet to let it out, created no mentors. 192 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: You know. That came later on and I found refuge 193 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: to football and in church. That's say my life, and 194 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: I poured all of my pain into it, and henceforth 195 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: it got me a scholars at the college in football, 196 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: and I got a tremendous relationship with God because I 197 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,559 Speaker 1: didn't settle. You know, you got a choice. I mean, listen, 198 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: adversity comes free, but you gotta fight to secure the blessing. 199 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: Every adversity comes with an equal with not greater blessing. 200 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: The adversity will find you free, but you gotta fight 201 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: to secure the blessing. And the difference is that us, 202 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: especially as a people, we've become comfortable with simply surviving 203 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: as this. You get a reward for surviving. You know, 204 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: it's admirable to survive. But it's time that we start 205 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 1: to thrive. So you gotta push the issue to thrive 206 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 1: to get to those blessings. And that's what I just 207 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: learned how to do, and that's what I'm showing the 208 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: world how to do it. He's doing.

But was these these little 274 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: slices of life that stories are experiences you're providing your book, 275 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: like like dealing with issues, how we how we will 276 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: hide and how we will shield, how we tend to 277 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:15,839 Speaker 1: stop ourselves, like like expecting something that happened, and then 278 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: when it doesn't have that happen that way, how do 279 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: you deal with it? And that was that simple walk 280 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: to school when your brother Tony was taking you. You 281 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: thought he was gonna walk you all the way to school, 282 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: and you was having a good time. You know, you're 283 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: barely keeping up with him with your little short legs, 284 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: and he was just he was just walking normal. You know, 285 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: what are you looking at? You? You're just trying to 286 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: keep up. And then you just you just say a 287 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 1: word or two. You thought there was gonna be like 288 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: a big brother little brother conversation and he's gonna just 289 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: tell you about life on the way, and he barely 290 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: spoke to you. And then when he was almost almost 291 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: out of school, he just pointed at it. You got 292 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: it from here, I got you now. But that's what 293 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: life feels about though, because a lot of people they 294 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: get on the job, they think the job is gonna 295 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: go this way, and then when the when the job 296 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: throws in the curve, how they they deal with it 297 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: is the next step on how they're going to be successful. 298 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: That's what I took away from that story. You walk 299 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: in to school with an expectation your brother's gonna take 300 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: you to the front door that school, and he didn't. 301 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: How you dealt with it alone the way for the 302 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: rest of your life. Really, it's who you are today, 303 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: right and and and I thank you for the for 304 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: the analogy that you use with social media and things, 305 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: I say the same thing. Everybody proclaim their own goodness. 306 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: It's a perfect place for me invent yourself. But no, 307 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 1: you're you're you're a hundred percent right. It's all about 308 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: what how you handle the situations that you're faced with. 309 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: And when my brother was walking me to school, um, again, 310 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: you were perfect. You're in your analysis of me thinking 311 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: it's going to be a big brother and little brother interaction. 312 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: I rarely saw him. He was about sixteen years older 313 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: than me. I was the youngest, and it's a big 314 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: gap in between us. And this was individual time and 315 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: then when he left me. But what I had to realize, 316 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: and this is what I encourage us all to do. 317 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: The first person you have to look in any situation 318 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: is yourself, because all of the answers to life's problems 319 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: are in the mirror. And what I realized at a 320 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: young age is that I misled my older brother. See, 321 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: any situation that you're part of, there's something that you 322 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: gotta learn, even if it seems like it's not your fault, 323 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: Like if it seems like you're honey, innocent, there's still 324 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: something you gotta learn, or else you wouldn't have never 325 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: been encountered the situation. So when I had to look 326 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: in the mirror, I realized that I created that situation 327 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 1: because I used to act tougher than I really was. 328 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: You see, because I had these older brothers that were cool, 329 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: and I used to act that way too. I act 330 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: more mature. I had some pride in there. Because of 331 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: that pride is what my brother called on too. He 332 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: he felt those vibrations and in his mind, he didn't 333 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: feel like he was doing anything wrong. He felt like 334 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 1: he may have been doing me a favor because I was. 335 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: I was projecting as if I was more mature than 336 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: I really was. So I had to look in the 337 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: mirror fers to acknowledge how could I do different or 338 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: what how can I change my behavior in order to 339 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: get a different result. And that's set the tone for 340 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: the rest of my life. And I realized I used 341 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:10,439 Speaker 1: to question God all the time because I didn't just 342 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 1: have little things happen to me. I had big things 343 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: happen to me. Like I didn't just break the arm. 344 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: I broke my femur bone, the biggest bone in your body, 345 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: your side bone. So I had to be in a 346 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: body cast for three to six months. I had to 347 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 1: learn how to walk all over again. So I didn't 348 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: just have little stuff happen to me. And I used 349 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 1: to always question, you know, God, why me? Why me? 350 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 1: I didn't ask for my mom not to like me. 351 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 1: I didn't do anything. I didn't ask for her to 352 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: do to do anything in her power to try to 353 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 1: tear me down. You're the one that I looked to. 354 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 1: You're you're my point guard, You're my go to person, 355 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: You're my quarterback. You know what I mean. But what 356 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 1: I realized about life is that that was just life 357 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 1: challenging me to be my best self. And now that 358 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 1: I was able to meet those challenges, that where they are. 359 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: And I mentioned earlier, every adversity comes with the eat, 360 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 1: if not greater blessings, adversity comes free, but you gotta 361 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: fight to secure the blessings. And I'm just one that 362 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 1: fights to secure my blessings. And now I'm just trying 363 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 1: to help other people to fight to secure their Well, 364 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: my man, that's exactly what all right?

Now, you have a business that I wanted 393 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,160 Speaker 1: to bring up to your peril. Company called Gangster mindset 394 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: LLC is reading redefining the word gangster with a positive spind. 395 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,959 Speaker 1: Talk about that absolutely, Like I've always um, you know, 396 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: I've always had desired being from the inner city, from 397 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: poverty and things like that and coming out being a 398 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: being a man of character and integrity, you know, not perfect, 399 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: but as pure of a heart as you'll find. You know, 400 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 1: I realized that. You know, it's all about growth and development. 401 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: You know, it's all about growth and development. So you 402 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: gotta put yourself in the best position so you can 403 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 1: continue to grow and develop. And that's all. That's all 404 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 1: that I do, and that's all that I aspire other 405 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: people to. So Epartment Unlimited is a company for individuals, businesses, 406 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: and the entire world. And it's it's about coaching and 407 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: consulting from a mindset and leadership perspective. So I have 408 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: a mindset methodology program that I use to take people 409 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 1: and master themselves. Because I have a personal quote, once 410 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: you master yourself, life has no choice but to forever 411 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 1: bowed down to you. I'll say it again, Once you 412 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 1: master yourself, life has no choice but to forever bowed 413 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 1: down to you. And here's why. Because the world is 414 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,160 Speaker 1: all fake as you just mentioned social media, but yourself, 415 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: you have your wired with greatness and authenticity. So when 416 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: you master that, the world can touch you. So in 417 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 1: my company, I raised businesses, individuals two levels unimaginable you 418 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 1: know Gainster mindset of power with the closing company I 419 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 1: just dropped, and what it means is boldness, excellence and uniqueness. 420 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: So every day I do a video and I get 421 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: three steps on that video. The last step is always 422 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: you got to develop against mindset, and I give a 423 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 1: different description of what Ganinster mindset is in fact today's video. 424 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: The third point is you got to develop against mindset, 425 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: a mind bold enough to believe that life is always 426 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,199 Speaker 1: happening for you and not to you, regardless of what 427 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: it may look like or feel like. My man, Okay, 428 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: you know you got me fired up rights missing a complict. Well, 429 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 1: you know the beauty and first of all, you noticed 430 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: that the last time on my show. Because I don't 431 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: reach out to people because I have a vision, people 432 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,120 Speaker 1: have called me a visionary. I see things and how 433 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 1: I talk to people and these conversations. A lot of 434 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: people call me their uncle. And you you can come 435 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 1: into little Roushan Uncle club because of the fact that 436 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: I want to be there for you. You You know, if 437 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: you ever want to call and uh, I give myself 438 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: if you want to call and say, Rashan, what do 439 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,439 Speaker 1: you think about this? This is about not about me 440 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: making money. It's about making ensuring you that you're getting 441 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 1: the advice from a successful person who's had many paths 442 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,199 Speaker 1: out there, and and and many. Some people call me 443 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,640 Speaker 1: a renaissurce man because I'm able to rechange myself. I'm 444 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,640 Speaker 1: able to reinvent the process of that path. I see 445 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 1: an opportunity. What I do not do, Mark is think 446 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: about it. I go forward. You know. But if we're 447 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: shining over there thinking no, I think he's over there 448 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: digging the ditch. Now. I think he's already laying the 449 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 1: concrete to the foundation for his next house. I think 450 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: that's what you're doing. So when you talk about before 451 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: we get off there, when you see you contribute most 452 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 1: to business success, can you give us some nuggets and 453 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: what you mean when you say that statement? Oh man, listen, 454 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: business success is nothing more. See, before you got a business, 455 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: you got an individual. All the team is is a 456 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: group of individuals. And what what makes it the team 457 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 1: as the commitment to the common goal. You see. So 458 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 1: in order to have a successful business, you gotta first 459 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: have a successful why. You gotta know your why, Why 460 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: do you want this business? Who are you serving? Why 461 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: do you want to serve that population. And as Damon 462 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: John says, I've been a Rising Grind ambassador now I'm 463 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 1: a power Shift ambassador for Damon John over the last 464 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:34,400 Speaker 1: two years. And his main thing is know your target audience. 465 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 1: Who are you selling to? So you gotta know your why, 466 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: like why do you want to get this product or 467 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,679 Speaker 1: this service out? And then you gotta know who wants 468 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: the service and products, and then you gotta find creative 469 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 1: ways to put it in their hands, make them friends, 470 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 1: make them, you know, customers, and you gotta and that's 471 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: what you have to do. And you gotta constantly reinvent yourself. 472 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,479 Speaker 1: See the reason when Puppy and Damon John broke up, 473 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: you know I mean, not for when jay Z and 474 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 1: Damon and David and I said, Damon John, When Puffy 475 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: and Damon Dad broke up, you know from Rocket Feller, 476 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And jay Z say, okay, 477 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: you may, you may hold make another hole in his reckercy. 478 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 1: So so what happened is that jay Z was able 479 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 1: to reinvent himself. Now you see billionaire jazz it See 480 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 1: this game is about reinventing yourself because things constantly change. 481 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 1: Life is about evolution. Constant change. So if you think 482 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: you can stay the same and continue to rise and 483 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 1: elevate your wrong So in order for you to be 484 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: successful in life and in business, you gotta want.
