But you know, the attention of 7 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,080 Speaker 2: the podcast is always about you know. I really believe 8 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 2: that the things that we learn in our lives, and 9 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 2: all the lessons in our lives really are given to 10 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 2: us as gifts to learn more about ourselves, but also 11 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 2: to inform and to lift people up. 12 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 1: So lucky me is here now. Lebron wrote the opening. 13 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 2: He said, it's amazing to see my brother in full 14 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,880 Speaker 2: stride and for everyone else to see what I always 15 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 2: saw in him. So when you flip through these pages 16 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 2: and you witness the kind of pain that we felt 17 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 2: growing up, don't flinch hard times make us stronger. That 18 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 2: really kind of defined why you wrote this book, Is 19 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 2: that right? 20 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: Yeah? 21 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 3: I wanted to write something with intent. There's an education 22 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 3: in learning through other people's experiences. And I know for 23 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 3: a fact everybody in this room, but just anywhere you're 24 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 3: going to align with a sentence a chapter, a page, 25 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 3: something something, if not several for sure. 26 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: Like what was the hardest and most I don't know 27 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: vulnerable part. 28 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 3: I think just getting to my mom and her struggles. 29 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 3: You know, that's tough and I lost both my parents, 30 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 3: but having to relive that time, because you know, when 31 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 3: you're a kid, it's hard enough. 32 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:31,040 Speaker 1: Yeah. And I had built this this wall because. 33 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 3: I you know, I would go six seven months without 34 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 3: seeing my mom and it was a thing where that's tough, 35 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 3: and it was a thing where I had to get 36 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,639 Speaker 3: used to. There's no such thing as a parent teacher 37 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 3: conference or my games or be the mom to take 38 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 3: the kids to practice Christmas Birthday. 39 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: That didn't exist for me. So were you a sad kid? No? 40 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: I wasn't a sad kid because I wasn't really a kid. 41 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: I was a hustle I was at five. 42 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 2: No, something that just sad with me. In One of 43 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 2: the takeaways is the way that you talk about your parents, right, 44 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 2: because there are a lot of struggles. There is dysfunction, 45 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,519 Speaker 2: there is drug addiction. You talk very openly and honestly 46 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 2: about your mother's struggling with crack addiction, but you talk 47 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 2: about that is not the headline the way it feels 48 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 2: you talk about them with so much admiration and love, 49 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 2: and even though you didn't live with your dad because 50 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 2: he had a whole other family, right, I don't know, 51 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 2: there could have been a lot of anger and sadness, 52 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 2: and the way you describe them, and it was a 53 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 2: lot of love and a lot of forgiveness. 54 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: It feels like from the way you tell the story. 55 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, my dad was my hero, so that was that. 56 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 3: You know, he was just such a man's man. I 57 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 3: had such an admiration and respect for him, and he 58 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 3: was present. Sometimes you can be present and not be present, 59 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 3: but sometimes you can not necessarily be in the house 60 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 3: but still be present. 61 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: But one thing my dad did too, for all of us. 62 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:02,519 Speaker 3: He sat us down and he said, your mom is sick. 63 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 3: He didn't call her an attic. He says she has 64 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 3: a sickness. And he said, but despite that, don't ever 65 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 3: let me catch you disrespecting her in any way. And 66 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 3: he meant this, but that never even crossed my mind, 67 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 3: but it helped me put things in perspective that you know, 68 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 3: it is a sickness. So when you talk about not 69 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 3: having that anger, I didn't have that anger because I 70 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 3: didn't feel like she was neglecting me because she wanted 71 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 3: to neglect me. 72 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: She was sick. 73 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 3: And over time, when my mom did did clean out 74 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 3: and I started traveling, the one thing that would while 75 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 3: I'm on the road. The only thing that was tough 76 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 3: for me was back home, you know, whether my mom 77 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 3: relapsed or something, and just getting that call in the 78 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 3: middle of the night. And so I wouldn't get much 79 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 3: sleep on the road, especially when I first started, because 80 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 3: you know, you on the road and you know you're 81 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 3: trying to get clients or whatnot. 82 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: And so I dealt with those type of things. 83 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 3: And then there was a as I started to plan 84 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 3: out things a little bit more. We would take vacations 85 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 3: and go to Vegas every year. She would bring the grandkids. 86 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 3: You know, we did things, and it was great because 87 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 3: I was at when my mom passed away. 88 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: Actually I was at peace. 89 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 2: We think about so, you know, in real life and 90 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,919 Speaker 2: the podcast we talk about we think about all the 91 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 2: takeaways that we learn from other people's lives, and so 92 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 2: hearing about your family life and your mom and your dad, 93 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 2: how did you cause it's really amazing that there was 94 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 2: no anger and that you used all those opportunities to 95 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 2: learn from, become stronger, become better. There was nothing that 96 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 2: weighed you down, But most people have less traumatic circumstances, 97 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 2: are weighed down by family trauma, by disappointment, whatever. There's 98 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 2: all types of reasons or issues that we have in 99 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 2: our families. What is the thing like, how do you 100 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 2: do that? What is the thing that gets you you? 101 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 2: I don't know that spares you from that and that 102 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 2: makes you fuse it as fuel instead of something that 103 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 2: could weigh you down. 104 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: I'm not really a well you know, I'm not really 105 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: a disappointed person. It's hard. I mean, I'm just yeah, 106 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 1: I'm just like to have good energy. 107 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 3: I've never been like A'm not a complainer. 108 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: No, I don't complain about anything that's raining for what.

You're a positive guy. 120 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 3: A lot of it also came from I didn't have 121 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 3: nobody to complain too. Uh, you know, my dad wasn't 122 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 3: really nobody to complain to it. He'd be like boy 123 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 3: like and then you know my mom wasn't there, so 124 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 3: I'm going to really complain to So I just built this, 125 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 3: built this over time. 126 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: And then what has complaining ever actually solved. 127 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 2: That's funny because I was just gonna be about to 128 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 2: ask you about this part in the book you talk 129 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 2: about what the streets taught you, and that the streets 130 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 2: taught you. You mentioned this earlier too, and you said this 131 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 2: in sixty minutes, that it taught you about people and characters, 132 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 2: And so I was curious about what it taught you 133 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 2: like about character and is there I don't know, there 134 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 2: are red flags and characters that you look for. 135 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: Flags like what. 136 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 3: Insecurity I think people I think in our business, at least, 137 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 3: if someone is too focused on what's only in it 138 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 3: for them, or again going back to how you treat people, 139 00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 3: if you're not respecting people that are basically making your 140 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 3: life easier, that's a character flaw. And by the way, 141 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:09,239 Speaker 3: the more successful you become, the better person you should 142 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 3: become too. You got to work on that as well. Like, 143 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 3: if you're going to be successful, be successful in everything. 144 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 3: I just think that just because you get paid a 145 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 3: lot of money and you are a top athlete, don't 146 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 3: mean you get to be less of a person. Yes, 147 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 3: And I think that oftentimes the people around a lot 148 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 3: of the people that we do represent, they're so focused 149 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 3: on what's in it for them that they paint a 150 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 3: picture that becomes detrimental to somebody that they supposed to love. 151 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 2: Don't you think people get addicted to winning too. They 152 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 2: get addicted to success, addicted to so you become successful, 153 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 2: your agency is doing well, then it's like how do 154 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 2: we make it? There is like an addiction that comes 155 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 2: with that to some extent, and some people, I think 156 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 2: then disregard, like you say, all the things that you 157 00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 2: care about you're trying to be better at. 158 00:07:59,600 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: Yeah. 159 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 3: Never, I've never sat in success at all because again, 160 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 3: when you read the book, our neighborhood didn't allow us 161 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 3: to get cocky, because if you get cocky, then you 162 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 3: then then people start to notice you. And when people 163 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 3: started to notice you, then they start to to plot. 164 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 3: It's a different dynamic, so I never came with that. 165 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 3: It's just not it's just not in me. I mean, 166 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 3: you may be mad at the leather jacket. I got 167 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 3: onto something that you know, wear some jackets. That's but 168 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 3: that's not definitely you know what I'm saying. Like, so 169 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 3: someone else's perception is not my reality.

They did you gotta be because 283 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 3: you gotta lose sometimes it's part of the part of that. 284 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:57,679 Speaker 1: Is a mental thing. You know. 285 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 3: Sometimes you can shit a card table and and every 286 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 3: person at that table would be winning in some point 287 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 3: during the card game. It's just a matter of when 288 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 3: you're winning and when the game actually is to determine 289 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 3: the actual winner. Yeah, but it's a it's a mindset, 290 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,439 Speaker 3: it's a it's definitely a mental edge to it, for sure. 291 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 2: The interesting thing I thought about because you go into 292 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 2: detail about this deal, your first big deal, which was bled, 293 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 2: so when you turned down the first big offer that game, 294 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 2: and so he you know he is, how old was he? 295 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: Twenty four? Twenty three, twenty four? 296 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 3: Yes, that wasn't Oh yeah, he wasn't that he was. 297 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 3: He came out when he was nineteen. 298 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: That was its four for years. Oh yeah, yeah, twenty three. Okay, 299 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: I read the book. It was like twenty three years old. 300 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I believe he says twenty four in the book, 301 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 2: but you know, I'm not gonna fact check him. 302 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 3: Well, sixty minutes definitely fact checked, so it might be 303 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 3: twenty four. It was twenty four, So he's twenty four 304 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 3: years old. He gets this big deal. He tells him 305 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 3: the deal came in. He's he's excited. 306 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: He's like, yes, there's you're twenty four and what was 307 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: the seven million a year in million years? 308 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 2: Yes, let's take it. And you said, no, let's not 309 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 2: take it. Let's gamble because I believe you should get 310 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 2: what you're worth. That this is a gamble with But 311 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 2: now you're gambling with someone with someone else's life. 312 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 3: But the thing about it is if you make it 313 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 3: about the money, then it's a gamble. But if you 314 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 3: make it about your value and your worth, then it's 315 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 3: not necessarily a gamble. But I can't get there, and 316 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 3: he doesn't get there without trust. He trusts me, I 317 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 3: trust him. Anyway, that story worked out well for you, 318 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 3: business right, And people don't understand that deal got the 319 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 3: industry's attention in a lot of ways. And because of 320 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 3: the perception of Eric Blessol. He was eighteenth pick in 321 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 3: the draft. He had really never been a starter.

You said, like, my 332 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 2: dad took care of my mom. I thought if I 333 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 2: took care of her that that was enough. I didn't 334 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 2: understand that there's other work involved in a relationship. 335 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: He didn't know how to be in a relationship. 336 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 3: No, we were, I mean we were definitely taught wrong 337 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 3: as it pertains to how to love somebody, a significant other. 338 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 3: And also you gotta remember you could be in our community, 339 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 3: not have a car, not have money, but date a 340 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 3: lot of girls and that was like a status thing. 341 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: That was like having a car. 342 00:16:58,160 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 3: That was like, oh well Hill got a car, but 343 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 3: he got a lot of girls he can dress or 344 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,399 Speaker 3: whatever the case may be. And so that became a 345 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 3: goal for people, which is actually working backwards because you're 346 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 3: not necessarily committing. That's why people have commitment issues to 347 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 3: this day, because you're not necessarily committing to the person, 348 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 3: and then you're. 349 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 1: Giving them a little piece of you, just a little bit. 350 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, but also you're Also there's a there's an aspect 351 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 3: of taking advantage of too, because what they lack you 352 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 3: you now have an abundance because there's this fast paced thing. 353 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:38,160 Speaker 3: So you know, the goals were so small back then. 354 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 3: Hair down your hair costs.

We deal with a lot. Y'all 385 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 3: think y'all are the only ones that deal with a lot. 386 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 3: We do it a lot too. 387 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: Oh please, I'm just saying, I'm just kidding. We do know. 388 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 3: But today obviously I sit in a different seat of 389 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 3: having kids and you know, just and you're in a relationship. Oh, 390 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 3: I'm definitely in a relationship. Yeah, but I'm saying being respectful. Yeah, no, 391 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 3: have different it's just a different different. But I'm also 392 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 3: forty two years old. 393 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 2: And the vulnerability, how does that happen? Like do you 394 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 2: just one day think okay? Or does somebody have to 395 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 2: bring that out of you? How does that happen gradually? 396 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:39,199 Speaker 2: That's that's something that. 397 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: Are you good at that now or you're still struggling? 398 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 3: No, I'm a lot better okay, Yeah, I'm better with 399 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 3: a lot of the communication. 400 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: I'm better with everything better for sure. 401 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, well I also had to be open minded to 402 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 3: become better. 403 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 2: The only the thing I'm curious about it because in 404 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 2: your relationship it was share. Adelle shared with Oprah that 405 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 2: this was a very easy one, and so I just wondered, 406 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 2: from your perspective, how do you get there? How do 407 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 2: you get to be in a relationship that's easy? 408 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 3: Well, I think because I'm in a different space now, yeah, 409 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 3: probably because she's in a different space. Well, so I 410 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 3: think the easiness comes through experience. Though he was experienced 411 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 3: enough hard things than you can recognize easy. 412 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 2: And willing to change right to some extent. 413 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: She said in her Grammys that you told her not 414 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: to cry, and I thought, why, why? What is with 415 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: the crying? Is that something that you don't like to do? 416 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:38,400 Speaker 2: Why did you tell her not to cry? And are 417 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 2: you a person that doesn't like to cry or doesn't 418 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:41,919 Speaker 2: like crying around you? 419 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 4: No? 420 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 3: I actually cried last night. You did the first time 421 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,719 Speaker 3: in like a long time. Wow, something that's non you know, 422 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 3: happy sixteen minutes it was happy. Yeah, my friends had 423 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,679 Speaker 3: a speech and I got emotional for us, not for me. 424 00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 3: I got emotional to you. Yeah, I got emotional form. 425 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: You know, just a journey, just a journey. It was. 426 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 3: It was it was not like a like boohoo, but 427 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,640 Speaker 3: it was just it was. But it was just more 428 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 3: so like there is you know that emotion was It 429 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 3: was a good emotion, right. And that's another thing is 430 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 3: I think it's good to be emotional sometimes. 431 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: Look at you crying in front of friends of public. 432 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: It was a small room. 433 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 2: It was a small room, so crying publicly would be 434 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 2: would be probably you don't like to see that because 435 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 2: you said you told her when she went up there, 436 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 2: she said, rich told me not to cry if I want. 437 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 3: Oh, no, that that's because you just cry about every Yeah. 438 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 1: That's really cute.

Sometimes we're more sensitive as women sometimes. 441 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: Everything and you accomplished and been through. It's a smart question. 442 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 3: Do you feel a whole at what point in your 443 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,120 Speaker 3: life did you real. 444 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,160 Speaker 1: M that's the one part question.

I have so much. 447 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:15,199 Speaker 3: I haven't done a lot, you know in retrospect, so 448 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 3: at least I don't feel that way. I feel like 449 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:24,640 Speaker 3: it's so much room for growth. But in terms of 450 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 3: do I feel whole, No, I don't. I don't necessarily 451 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 3: feel whole. Do I feel inspired and driven still and 452 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 3: still in the moment?

I 464 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 3: found people that we had like minded interests, but also 465 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,679 Speaker 3: had some sense with the interest, you know, just playing 466 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 3: common sense and kind of I had great friends growing 467 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 3: I didn't really hang with like slept rock type of people, 468 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 3: and it helped me.

But on the 499 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,400 Speaker 2: scale of one to ten, because we use this as 500 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 2: a check in, I said, hey, man, how are you? 501 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: I'm fine. 502 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 2: Instead of that, you ask your friends or you ask 503 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 2: people you care about on a scale of one to ten. Today, 504 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 2: right now, how happy are you? I asked Evan that 505 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 2: when I walked in today, you told me what today? 506 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: You are seven? 507 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 2: Seven and a half today I said I was six 508 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 2: because I was annoyed. No, I'm definitely up to eight 509 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 2: and a half nine now Rich has lifted me up today. 510 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:21,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say. I would say a nine. 511 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 3: Really, yeah, And the only reason why I'm not at 512 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 3: ten is because there's so many you know, I'm just 513 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 3: a driven person. So I would sound crazy to myself 514 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 3: and I'm like, oh, just then I would be whole, 515 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 3: like he's said. Never then I would be contradicting myself. 516 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 3: So that lets you know I'm not condicting myself. No, 517 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 3: I would say a nine. I'm in a great space, like. 518 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 1: All day or just or just today or always all day? Yeah, always. 519 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 1: Is that a constant state for you? Nine? No, can't 520 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: be a nine constant thing like holistically, like every day 521 00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: you're at a nine of I'm happy. 522 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 3: Today at some point in time. Yeah, yeah, I mean 523 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 3: it might dip depending on what happened somebody, you know. 524 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 3: But but I don't really let people interfare with my happiness. 525 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,160 Speaker 3: I worked too hard to get here. I should I did. 526 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 3: Yeah nine wow, Yeah, I. 527 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: Mean, but don't get me wrong, I'm human. 528 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 3: So if it could dip to like, it's not dipping 529 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 3: past six, but I'll play within that six to nine space. 530 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 1: Now. I do get pissed off that dumb ship. You know. 531 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 3: That's the only thing that really really pisses me off. 532 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 3: Everything else is pretty motivated. But like when you do, 533 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 3: it's like, yeah. 534 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:54,640 Speaker 1: Not myself doing today? Yeah, not that for you? Yeah, true?

What is the Is there something in 582 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 2: your head that because we all tell ourselves things. What 583 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 2: is the story we tell ourselves to get whatever done? 584 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 2: When you when you're managing that discipline that you have, 585 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 2: is there something that you tell yourself? Is there a 586 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 2: trick to the discipline? 587 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 1: Is there? Well? 588 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 3: When I when I used to so the discipline really 589 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 3: comes from dice shooting, like. 590 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 2: I was looking for my son thing my son to 591 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 2: take away. It's not I wasn't. That's what I'm gonna 592 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 2: get to it though. 593 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 3: It's like so I used to practice the same shot 594 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 3: over and over and it's no different than somebody be 595 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 3: in the backyard going hi or three two one and 596 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 3: he hits the shot. I did that with dice, just 597 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 3: over and over and over again. If I got on 598 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 3: punishment didn't matter. I would just practice more and whatever. 599 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 3: And then it led to obviously, you know, I did 600 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 3: the same thing jump shooting. The discipline also comes within 601 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 3: the willingness too, because you have to be willing to 602 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 3: be disciplined or to discipline yourself, and then you and 603 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 3: then you just compound those habits and if you practice 604 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 3: doing things the right way, they become routine. 605 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that. 606 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 2: I just think the words sometimes the words we tell 607 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 2: ourselves help us, like if I'm off track, like you say, 608 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 2: off my square, yeah, sometimes, or if I if things 609 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 2: are not going right, I'll tell myself, uh, you're maybe 610 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 2: you're doing it for yourself too much. 611 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe how do you put it out? How do 612 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 1: you put that energy outword? How do you serve? 613 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 2: How do you so I'll take it out of the ego, 614 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 2: take it out of coming inside for me, like something 615 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 2: that I want, I want that, I want that to 616 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 2: be mine. I want to conquer that, and then it 617 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 2: doesn't happen. Then what do you tell yourself to keep going. 618 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 2: The thing sometimes I tell myself to keep going is 619 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 2: it's not about you get out the way, because you. 620 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 3: Know what I mean, there's no room for complacency. I 621 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 3: try not to ever get complacent ever. 622 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 1: That's good. Yeah, good practices, and you've implemented. 623 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 2: For your thing. 624 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 3: No, I've been trying to meditate a little bit here.
