115
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: honor to be on your show this morning. I'm just

116
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: tickled big. I'll be honest with you. Well, George, I

117
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: want to say thank you for that. And that's why,

118
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: First of all, your your parents on my show is

119
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: long overdue because I've been fan and Uh. I met

120
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: you several years ago, Steve Harving. Now I did an

121
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: event with you up in Ohio and Uh. But but

122
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: your your your pioneer and UH, when you're a pioneer

123
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: in something that means that a lot of people tell

124
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: you that's not a good idea. Why are you doing

125
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: trying to do that? How did you overcome negative spirits?

126
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 1: That's why I like to call negative spirits um uh,

127
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 1: just to be candid and and and succinct. Uh. Fundamentally,

128
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 1: um A ignored them. I ignored them. UM. I know

129
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: that God has a plan for me. I know that

130
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: there are obstacles that I will have to overcome uh

131
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: to fulfill the plan that God has for me. Uh.

132
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: And one of the obstacles is overcoming negativity and overcoming

133
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: what people tell you you can or cannot do. Uh,

134
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: and understanding that it's not how you start, it's how

135
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: you finished. In spite of the fact that I grew

136
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: up in an orphanages and foster care and mop floors

137
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: on the midnight ship at La Guardia Airport for three

138
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: years of my life to learn humility, UM, I knew

139
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: that that that was not my life, that it was

140
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: just lessons that I needed to learn. So so it's

141
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: a lot of self talk. We have to talk to

142
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: ourselves positively. We have to tell the mind what we want,

143
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: not what other people want for us. Um. And I

144
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: mean that in a loving and giving way, because there

145
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: are people that come into our lives and our mentors,

146
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: that are coaches, that are elders that we must listen

147
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: to and give us God. But fundamentally, uh mentors, coaches

148
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: and elders do not speak negatively. They speak positively and powerfully,

149
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: like Steve Harvey does, like you do, like people that

150
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: you have around encircled your life. So that's how I

151
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: do it. I mean, it's no more complicated than that.

152
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: Listen to God, listen to yourself. God is constantly talking

153
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: to you, telling you exactly what to do, except most

154
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: people choose not to listen. Listen because God is telling

155
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: us to change, to listen, to grow intellectually, to read uh,

156
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: and to be uh, you know, curious, mentally curious. We

157
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: are mentally lazy people. To many of us, we're not

158
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: intellectually curious. So God is telling us exactly what to

159
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: do every minute of every day, but we choose not

160
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: to listen because we don't want to change. It's just

161
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: easier sitting on a couch, drinking or being watching television.

162
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: So you must avoid that. We must man up, We

163
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: must woman up. We must demonstrate the gangsterism in black people.

164
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: And I'm redefining gangster rashan to be black exceptionalism, Black exceptionalism,

165
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: not the thug life, but black exceptional with Steve Harvey

166
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 1: is gangster. You are gangster, showing you've been gangster ever

167
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: since I've been knowing you. I mean, I mean when

168
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: you when you look at what Steve Harvey has done.

169
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: And I know Steve Harvey right. I've been in Cleveland

170
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 1: for fifty two years. My partner Greg Williams, my late

171
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: partner Greg Williams, and I had a nightclub and Steve

172
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: Harvey was one of the first comedians we hired for

173
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: our nightclub back in the early eighties when we looked

174
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: at what Steve Harvey has done with the proper management,

175
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: the proper input, the proper people around you. Uh, he's

176
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: one of my heroes. I mean when he really is,

177
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 1: he is one of my heroes. Uh. And so that

178
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: he and I know that Steve Harvey, with the help

179
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: of you, has overcome all kinds of men. You can't

180
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: do that, all kinds of negativity. That's because you have

181
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: to surround yourself with the right people and then visions

182
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,599
Speaker 1: and uh and and with Steve and I as you

183
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: sit down all the time, and he go, you really

184
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: think I can do that? And because I always felt

185
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: that he could cross over. I always felt that his

186
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: talent or his his his form of entertainment could be

187
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: relatable to anybody. And he was a hard worker. And

188
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: I feel that when when you talk about God, you

189
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 1: talk about a lot of people want to listen. There's

190
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 1: always time to how much effort you want to do

191
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: because the gold and opportunity for you to succeed is there,

192
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: and you've been doing this all your life. What is

193
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 1: the next step in your business journey? That's right, that's right,

194
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: because you know we live in America, this is the

195
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: greatest country in the world. I said, every place the

196
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: black people have been dispersed South Africa, Central Africa, East Africa,

197
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 1: West Africa, North Africa, all over South America, all over

198
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: the Caribbean. There are no black people in the entire

199
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: world doing better than we are. So there is an

200
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: unlimited opportunity in this country in spite of the racism

201
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: in this country. And we still live in a racist country,

202
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: make no mistake about that. So opportunity is not lacking

203
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 1: in America. Um, what what is lacking among the black

204
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: people is capacity building, the capacity having the positive mental

205
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: attitude to take advantage of the tremendous opportunities that are everywhere.

206
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: Steve saw it, You saw it, I saw it, and

207
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: I can listen for you. Thousands of brothers and sisters,

208
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: in spite of their circumstances, in spite of the isms

209
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: of America, have succeeded at the highest levels in this country.

210
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: And it's important that you say that, because first of all,

211
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: one has the midday is a problem. But don't allow

212
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: the problem to win. Okay, don't let your color, your

213
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: skin to become a negative. And I've always said that.

214
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: I said to my daughter. I said to anybody who

215
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: walks up to me, I always tell people there in life,

216
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: if you're trying to be in the decision making position,

217
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,719
Speaker 1: nobody makes a decision. Nobody looks behind them to make

218
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: a decision. They always look at you. They look left

219
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: and right. So your your your job is to be

220
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: in the sight range. You know, if you are looking

221
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 1: behind yourself saying, hey, I'm back here trying to make

222
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: a decision, that's too much effort to go what you're

223
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: doing back there, They're gonna look all, they're gonna look left,

224
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 1: they're gonna look right now right, did you're not position

225
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: yourself to be in sightline? Don't claim racism? Don't there

226
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: you go. If you ever if you ever flew any

227
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: place right, if you ever got on a jet plane

228
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: with the pilot, you notice that there are no rear

229
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 1: view mirrors on a jet plane. Right. They're going forward, man,

230
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,719
Speaker 1: They're going forward in six hundred miles an hour. They're

231
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: not looking backwards. They're going forward. So that's a profound

232
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: point and a profound inside. And I hope you're listening

233
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: audience takes that to heart, because that's exactly I look forward.

234
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: I didn't care about the negativity. Steve didn't care about it.

235
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: You didn't care about it. We were looking forward and

236
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: we were pressing the medal to putting the metal to

237
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: the pedal. Le meass it this. So you said, the

243
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 1: hundred thousand half Frican Americans, but the fifty thousand Nigerians

244
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 1: who have migrated to Houston because of it's the oil

245
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,679

591
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: stop backing. I just go back when we when we

592
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: first met many years ago, used to come up to

593
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: the Steve Hard Morning Show. I was the producer. We

594
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: just we just we were chopping up back then when

595
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: you were doing those Magic Johnson All Star Games back

596
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: in the day. Man, I've always been a big fan

597
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: of yours. But one thing I wanted to say about

598
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: you is that I said renaissance. Man. I said that

599
00:31:55,720 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: with with with a lot of uh, I say pride,

600
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: because man, you've always from the jump you kind of

601
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: like you kind of like started this little motion for

602
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: these athletes going out there into entertainment. So I'm gonna

603
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: give you credit, man, because you jumped out there first,

604
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: and because you you you know you you you. You've

605
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: had an amazing career because I always tell people because

606
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: I followed your career and unfortunately it was filled with injuries,

607
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: and but every time you came back from an injury,

608
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: you performed at a high level. And I want to

609
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: just thought that right quick, was what was that motivation?

610
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: Because a lot of times when you get injured, you

611
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: can just give up. You can just go hey, man, wow,

612
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: I'm tired of this. But you came back. Every time

613
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: you came back, Man, you was a bad man on

614
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: that court. Explained to us. How did that happen? Burn? Man?

615
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: You know, I think it's just from my upbringing. You know,

616
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: uh got survive right, And you know it's like now

617
00:32:56,040 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: people are calling it uh PTSD right, Uh, But I

618
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 1: think that when you grew up, a situation is like

619
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: you know, in the in the city, he's just way

620
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: out to survive. And when you're back against the wall,

621
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: it's almost like you're so used to that, You're so comfortable,

622
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: that's familiar with that, that it just becomes the norm.

623
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: And so for me, you know, every time I got injured,

624
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: you know, I always know I have my mind and

625
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: you know, my imaginations and and will and you just

626
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: don't realize how much how much you can benefit from having,

627
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: you know, great imaginations, because that's really what it's driven

628
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: you to this point away from basketball, uh, getting into projects.

629
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: How does like say I used to word independent mogul,

630
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: you know in the movie game, how does want to

631
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 1: bring an idea to you? Because I'm sure you get

632
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: you get you get addressed with this situation all the time.

633
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: Somebody got an idea, Hey man, all that needs some

634
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: money from you? Burn, Come on, mare, hook me up.

635
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: I get your idea gonna make you use dollars? What

636
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: drives you in the created platform? For me, it's being creative.

637
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: It's being a person who always asked people for money.

638
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: Hey man, let me get them let me get some

639
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 1: money to make a movie from you know what, what

640
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,919
Speaker 1: what Jarge need is is I think that there's an

641
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 1: opportunity and um, you know, to tell great stories and

642
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:30,879
Speaker 1: stories about us, stories about you know, how we um,

643
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 1: who we are, what we do see ourselves in different lives. Um,

644
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,879
Speaker 1: you know you're starting to see a little bit. Black

645
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: Panther was one. Um, you know, we got to get

646
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: out and Moonlights. So you know, there's always gonna renaissance

647
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: of black cinema. And you know, for me, just I

648
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 1: want to be a historian, you know and be a

649
00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: part of that. And so creatively is going back and

650
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: you know, mining our culture. Let me match you this now,

651
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: you know, because you wanted to talk about technology and

652
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 1: there's a there's a huge gap that you that you

653
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: want to make you're trying to close. How are you

654
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: playing a role in closing the racial gap? Because I've

655
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: always been a proponent. Are a person that says that

656
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: you know, we buy technology, you know, African Americans we

657
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,320
Speaker 1: buy smartphones, we buy we buy Apple phones, you know,

658
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,919
Speaker 1: but sometimes we don't get credit for that. We don't

659
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: get credit for being technically savvy, and we are. So

660
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: how do you how do you? How do you are

661
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: you using your brand to close that gap of information? Uh?

662
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: From me, it's just about right. You gotta hire, you

663
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: gotta invest, you gotta find the people who who are

664
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 1: doing that. Um. I was just visiting with a lady

665
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: who's been in over thirty five years in last years,

666
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 1: and she's game, excuse me, pushing technology for thirty five

667
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 1: years and now it's finally out of place where people

668
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 1: can well, we can actually get some credit. Right. But

669
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 1: we have all these pioneers, all these hidden figures throughout

670
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: our history, and we've just never embraced them. And now

671
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 1: that everything is a buzz word, right, it's almost like

672
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: we always think that we're late. Right, We're not late

673
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: to technology because technology is going to be the baseline

674
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:38,240
Speaker 1: of this world. We just don't support and rally around

675
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 1: our elders and rally around the people that have done

676
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 1: it and then pay it back. And so for me,

677
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: I think that you know, tech is that is a

678
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: it's a buzz word but it's something that you know,

679
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: we should be teaching our kids now, I said it

680
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: better on the high path than we are. So we

681
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: should be teaching them out of code, should be teaching

682
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: them how to design, right, we should be putting them

683
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 1: in design camps things like that. Um, you know, even

684
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: if as much as even when they play sports, they

685
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: got to take art and to take a language, and

686
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to do something with that computer, right

687
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: because the way the world is going and the way

688
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 1: the opportunity is, you know, you never know, you never

689
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: know what kid is gonna once they learned how to

690
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:30,279

746
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:23,320
Speaker 1: that zone. You were just talking about changing lives and

747
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't understand that, man and your

748
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: special dude. And I won't say that. I'm not just

749
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 1: saying that because you're on my show. I've seen you

750
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 1: uh way back and two thousands played watching college basketball,

751
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: watching you get drafted, watching you play, watching you get back,

752
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 1: And because when you were playing those all star games

753
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: for Magic Johnson, you didn't have to be there. That

754
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:46,359
Speaker 1: was your own time because Magic was doing it for scholarships.

755
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 1: So you you're not changed, my man. You just got

756
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,240
Speaker 1: a little bit older. But you're a good looking older,

757
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: so that's all right with me. But the thing is

758
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: that you're building time and you you invest in. But

827
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 1: newspaper and magazines and USA Today dated January. He was

828
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 1: called the most powerful talent in the sports business just

829
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 1: a year ago, and he followed it up with his

830
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 1: best year as a professional. First Take had his highest

831
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 1: rated ever ratings ever since. It's since it largely nearly

832
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 1: a decade ago after making the move to ESPN, combining

833
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: his quest to annihilate the competition alone with management showing

834
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 1: more belief in him than ever before, there's no reason

835
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 1: to believe the face of ESPN will not change soon.

836
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 1: Here's another quote from The New Yorker magazine dated June

837
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 1: how the star first Take became ESPN's most recognizable face.

838
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: Here's another quote from another article recently in USA Today

839
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 1: dated September. September, he would do anything for ESPN, but

840
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 1: his ambitions. Don't stop there. I love it. Please working

841
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:26,720
Speaker 1: the money, making conversations, sports and General Hospital, soap opera

842
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 1: star stephen A. Smith? What's going on man? How are

843
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: you doing? I'm doing fantastic, Steven. I wish, I wish

844
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: I was a star in General Hospital. I gotta work

845
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 1: on my active SHOT's going off. I'm going good man. Uh.

846
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,879
Speaker 1: First of all, um, just just how did that start?

847
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 1: I wouldn't just get that out real quick because a

848
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:46,919
Speaker 1: lot of people know about it. A lot of people

849
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 1: don't know about it. But you really enjoy appearing on

850
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 1: General Hospital as the character Brick No, I love it. Um.

851
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 1: You know, it's a lot of fun because I grew

852
00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:00,360
Speaker 1: up watching the soap coming to home from school. We

853
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,800
Speaker 1: had a couple of TVs in my house, and I

854
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 1: had four older sisters and they were all watching General Hospital.

855
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 1: You know, we were an ABC family. That's why I

856
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 1: so ironic that I'm with the ESPN and the part

857
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 1: of the Walt Disney an ABC family because that's the

858
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: main channel we grew up watching. And um, if you

859
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 1: wanted to watch TV after you came home from school,

860
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 1: you had to watch you in the hospital because the

861
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 1: two TVs we had in my house. That's what the

862
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 1: TV was on. And if you didn't want to do that,

863
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 1: then you're gonna have to go and do your homework. So,

864
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 1: you know, usually usually we ended up watching General Hospital.

865
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:37,280
Speaker 1: And I've been watching General Hospital since I was about

866
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: seven years old and I've never stopped ever since I'm fifty,

867
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,800
Speaker 1: it's been about three years and I have been watching

868
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 1: General Hospital. And I remember one time I showed up

869
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 1: at General Hospital and the cast there, uh, you know,

870
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 1: trying to test me. They're like, we here that you're

871
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:57,360
Speaker 1: this guy that's watched this, and they would ask me

872
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,879
Speaker 1: about a scene. I said, actually, no, that wasn't de Seve.

873
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 1: This was the Sea and it was before they had

874
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 1: even appeared on the show. And they were there for

875
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:10,400
Speaker 1: like twenty years. And my wealthy Hell no, I ain't broke, okay.

876
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:13,760
Speaker 1: And I came from the historically black institution after getting

877
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 1: left back in the fourth grade, and I climbed the

878
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 1: charts and through sheer hard work and determination and ultimately

879
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 1: made myself into what I am today. Anybody out there,

880
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 1: you got a good possibility to be Stephen A. Smith.

881
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:31,800
Speaker 1: It's a one of a billion shot you'll ever be

882
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 1: a Kobe or j V or anybody else like that.

883
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 1: And that's the kind of message that I want to send.

884
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 1: And that's what that's the kind of message that my

885
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 1: book is going to resonate. What about because that's important

886
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 1: because I love that you said that, because you know,

887
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 1: as they say, if you have the physical talents, that

888
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 1: separates you. But you're saying and also you were dyslexic. Correct,

889
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 1: that's right, that's correct, and we shouldn't we shouldn't, and

890
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 1: that that didn't stop you. That that the level of

891
00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: determination and guidance uh that you that you had along

892
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 1: the way in the mentors that you had a long way.

893
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 1: I always feel that I'm a I'm a mentor to

894
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 1: you because of the fact that, first of all, you're

895
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 1: so gifted and and when I first met you. You know,

896
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 1: it's really interesting when you meet a talent like stevenen Ape,

897
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk to him in the third party because

898
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 1: of the fact that he's a naturally smart guy and

899
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:23,280
Speaker 1: he always corrects me. That's our Joe, I running Joe Rashan, Rashan,

900
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 1: you can't say that word like that. Stop that, stop that.

901
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:30,359
Speaker 1: Because he's a genius. When he comes to words, and uh,

902
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 1: the fact that he's going to write a book, and

903
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 1: allow un intimate book about his growth as a as

904
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:39,359
Speaker 1: a human being, his his childhood years, and the fact

905
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:42,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna turn these words into motivational for everyday people.

906
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 1: That's why I say college students resonate with him, adults

907
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 1: resonate with him. Uh. He said he watched TV. He's

937
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 1: And that was the value that I did not appreciate

938
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 1: years ago that I learned to appreciate a large part

939
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:28,479
Speaker 1: because of you, your success with the Steve Harvey Morning Show,

940
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,240
Speaker 1: the way that I would see you do things behind

941
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 1: the scenes and what have you and and and the

942
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 1: reason why I give you so much credit is because

943
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 1: you know I would do radio because I was good

944
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 1: at it. I was told I would do radio eventually,

945
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 1: because those things came about in terms of me recognizing

946
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 1: its potency. But where you really came in that you

947
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 1: taught me to enjoy it as well. I actually have

948
00:50:55,360 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 1: funding radio now that wasn't always the case. Who My

949
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 1: last question is your book is that you know people

950
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:07,359
Speaker 1: all people I've seen the college students asking I've seen

951
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I was in the l a with You're

952
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:11,239
Speaker 1: walking around people with the book at when you're gonna

953
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 1: put out the book? When is the book gonna happened?

954
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,480
Speaker 1: Stephen A. Smith? And what will the book be about?

955
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 1: The book will be written by the end of the year.

956
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: I've already written a couple of chapters, um, you know,

957
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 1: and it's a motivation of book, you know, essentially through

958
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 1: the lens of my life, my story and what got

959
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 1: me here today. You know, as I said on on

960
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 1: First Take one day a couple of years ago, that

961
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:44,440
Speaker 1: really resonated virally. Um, I said, you know what people

962
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 1: look at the Kobe Bryant, the Shaquille O'Neil, jay Z

963
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,800
Speaker 1: and others. And they called them the American dream, and

964
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:55,720
Speaker 1: I say, no, I'm the American dream. They're in. They're

965
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: in American fantasy turned reality. But it's a one in

966
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 1: a billion shot that you can be them. But guess

967
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 1: what you could be Stephen A Smith, who all I

968
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:10,800
Speaker 1: did was bust my tail, work hard and climb the

969
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:16,799
Speaker 1: ladder um and it would do nothing but sheer, hard work, determination. Uh,

970
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 1: And I guess some modicum of intelligence or whatever the

971
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:23,680
Speaker 1: case may be. The bottom line is that it's not

972
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 1: a fantasy to become me. You can do it. A

973
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 1: lot of people can do it because I did it

974
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:32,360
Speaker 1: the older you know, the old fashioned way. I just

975
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:35,800
Speaker 1: worked hard of it. That's not to imply that those

976
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,799
Speaker 1: guys that I mentioned to and worked very hard. I'm

977
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 1: simply saying, look at the you know, the the talent

978
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:45,160
Speaker 1: that they have, the gifts that they have been blessed with,

979
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:48,920
Speaker 1: and ultimately the wealth they were able to accumulate because

980
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 1: of it. And my wealthy Hell no, I ain't broke, okay.

981
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 1: And I came from a historically black institution after getting

982
00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 1: left back in the fourth grade, and I climbed the

983
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:03,959
Speaker 1: chart than do. Sheer, harder, working, determination and ultimately made

984
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:09,360
Speaker 1: myself into what I am today. Anybody out there, you

985
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:12,879
Speaker 1: got a good possibility to be Stephen A Smith. It's

986
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 1: a one of a billion shot you'll ever be a

987
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:17,800
Speaker 1: Kobe or j V or anybody else like that. And

988
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 1: that's the kind of message that I want to send.

989
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:21,800
Speaker 1: And that's what that's the kind of message that my

990
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 1: book is going to resonate with God, because that's important,

991
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:28,160
Speaker 1: because I love that you said that, because you know,

992
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 1: as they say, if you have the physical talents, that

993
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 1: separates you. But you're saying and also you're dyslexic. Correct, yes, right,

994
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:38,880
Speaker 1: that's correct, and we shouldn't we shouldn't, and that that

995
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 1: didn't stop you. That that the level of determination and

996
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:45,480
Speaker 1: guidance uh that you that you had along the way

997
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:46,840
Speaker 1: in the mentors that you had a long way. I

998
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 1: always feel that I'm a I'm a mentor to you

999
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 1: because of the fact that, first of all, you're so

1000
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 1: gifted and when I first met you, you know, it's

1001
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 1: really interesting when you meet a talent like Stephen, as

1002
00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:58,840
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna talk to him in the third party

1003
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 1: because of the fact that he's a naturally smart guy,

1004
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:06,400
Speaker 1: and he always corrects me. That's our Joe running Joe rashean, rashean,

1005
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,759
Speaker 1: You can't say that word like that. Stop that, Stop that.

1006
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:13,520
Speaker 1: Because he's a genius when he comes to words, and uh,

1007
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:15,680
Speaker 1: the fact that he's going to write a book and

1008
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 1: allow un intimate book about his growth as a as

1009
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 1: a human being, his his childhood years, and the fact

1010
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:25,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna turn these words into motivational for everyday people.

1011
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:28,600
Speaker 1: That's why I say college students resonate with him, adults

1012
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 1: resonate with him. Uh. He said he watched TV. He's

1013
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:35,399
Speaker 1: a big pan of big fan of power. So my man,

1014
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 1: that's what I want to just take the time. Thank you,

1015

1017
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:44,640
Speaker 1: y'all take it easy. Thank you for having me. Hey man,

1018
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 1: do your think Stephen A. Smith Micheanan McDonald doing my

1019
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:51,000
Speaker 1: thing on money making conversations. One thing I would conceived

1020
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:52,960
Speaker 1: about Stephen A. Smith is that when I look at

1021
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 1: a person like him, it can be you look at

1022
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 1: a person like myself in the mirror. I tell people

1023
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:00,880
Speaker 1: it can be me, It can be me. You can

1024
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:03,480
Speaker 1: be me, but you don't really want to be me.

1025
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 1: You want to be you. Because my journey to success

1026
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 1: is very different. But the word that is very similar

1027
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 1: to his story, to Steve Harvey story, to Kobe Bryant story,

1028
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:20,480
Speaker 1: the Shock story is hard work. Willingly get up and

1029
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 1: do it despite sadness, despite physical uh setbacks, mental setbacks,

1030
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:29,439
Speaker 1: social setbacks, to do it. And that's why I created

1031
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 1: Money Making Conversation to give you a lane to do

1032
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 1: it and stop making accuses. And I'm saying that you

1033
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:38,719
Speaker 1: have an excuse, but I've made excuses in my life.

1034
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:41,960
Speaker 1: And guess what all the deal was? Make me feel

1035
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:44,640
