Speaker 1: I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's
Speaker 1: Up to Sights Team. You're listening to the Daily Game,
Speaker 1: the compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years
Speaker 1: that I've found inspiring and helped me through the game
Speaker 1: of life. Today's quote is something I say a lot
Speaker 1: when people ask me about the path to success, especially
Speaker 1: in the entertainment industry. I can't tell you how many
Speaker 1: deals I've seen fall through at the eleventh hour, how
Speaker 1: many so called short things don't see the light of day.
Speaker 1: So listen up. Success is like being pregnant. Everyone says congratulations,
Speaker 1: but nobody knows how many times you've been fucked. Now
Speaker 1: that's a joke, but it's true. You know, a woman
Speaker 1: is pregnant and everyone's saying congratulations, but you don't really
Speaker 1: know how many times he's had sex. So that's the
Speaker 1: funny part. Turn it around to success. Yeah, everyone's saying congratulations,
Speaker 1: but they don't know what you've been through. They don't
Speaker 1: know how many deals fell through, they don't know how
Speaker 1: many attempts you've had at this particular success, the trials
Speaker 1: and tribulations, and we say fucked on this side we're
Speaker 1: not talking about great sex. We're talking about getting fucked over.
Speaker 1: And when you make it, it all looks good and
Speaker 1: people are like, oh, it's so great, it's so great.
Speaker 1: But the battle wounds that you've suffered. That's why a
Speaker 1: lot of times successful people and people come to them
Speaker 1: for advice, they don't even want to give it up
Speaker 1: freely because they're like, shit, I went through so much
Speaker 1: to get here. I don't even know you well enough
Speaker 1: to give you the game. They don't give it out
Speaker 1: freely because it's mostly earned in war. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't really know anybody that I've met that have had
Speaker 1: a smooth ride to where they are. And that's how
Speaker 1: it goes. You know, it looks easy, of course when
Speaker 1: you make it, when you summit that mountain and you're
Speaker 1: at the top of that mountain, it looks easy, but
Speaker 1: nobody was there watching the climb. They didn't see that
Speaker 1: how you had to sleep on the side of the
Speaker 1: mountain and you slipped and you fell, and you know,
Speaker 1: some of your friends didn't make the climb. But of
Speaker 1: course it's a great view from up there, and everybody's
Speaker 1: happy for you. This has been another ice cold fact
Speaker 1: from me iced tea, listening again tomorrow when I dropped
Speaker 1: some wisdom on your ass till then, Stay safe, stay smart,
Speaker 1: and stay knowing that what might have looked like an
Speaker 1: easy ride up the ladder, it wasn't easy at all.
