71
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,320

72
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 3: went to school and you know, became an actor and

73
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,360

74
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,160

77
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 3: I think the most meaningful opportunity, you know, would have

78
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 3: been from my wife before she was my wife, when

79
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 3: she was just my business partner. And she said to

80
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 3: me one time, she said, now that came peels over,

81
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 3: what do you think you're going to do next?

82
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: And I said, ah, God, I don't know.

83
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know.

84
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 3: And I was making up all these excuses about why

85
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 3: I couldn't do what I wanted to do, and I

86
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 3: won't be able to do this because of this reason.

87
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 3: I won't be able to do that because of that reason.

88
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 3: And she said, why don't you This was the opportunity.

89
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 3: It was like a mind shift. She said, why don't

90
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 3: you just for a second pretend that there are no obstacles,

91
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 3: There are no stories.

92
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 2: There's nothing's going to get in your way. What would

93
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: you want to do?

94
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 3: And I had to think about it for a minute,

95
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 3: and then I eventually I said, well, I'd love to

96
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 3: do Shakespeare and I'd love to be Jason Bourne. And

97
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 3: she said and then I felt embarrassed, because you know,

98
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 3: it's embarrassing. This is vulnerable right to talk about your dreams.

99
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 3: And I said, I want to be Jason Bourne. I

100
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 3: want to do Shakespeare. Within eighteen month period, I was

Speaker 3: in one of his television shows, in an action Secrets

107
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 3: in his television show. And so that was the biggest opportunity.

108
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 3: I mean, sounds like this person gave you a break. Yeah,

109
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,840

00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 4: and figure out what they want. But I think you've

115
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 4: said this a lot. A lot of people won't sit

116
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 4: down and truly ask themselves, what the hell do I want?

117
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,240

Speaker 4: going to happen, and sometimes you're thinking they're going to

145
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 4: go for the shock effect, and that's the way, like

146

Speaker 3: really moving to me right like that at the very end.

154
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 3: My favorite thing is listing all of those nations and

155
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,720
