So years 59 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 3: ago when I was growing up, drugging, alcohol abuse, a 60 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 3: diagnosis of ADHD, living without my biological father, like failing 61 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 3: the ninth grade three different times. I failed, and I 62 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,399 Speaker 3: was blaming everybody else. But I got to a point 63 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 3: where I was like, I'm not playing the blame game. 64 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 3: I'm about to focus on me and go all in. 65 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 3: And so I was able to rehabilitate my life, my 66 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,399 Speaker 3: soul become this new person. Now over the last sixteen years, 67 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 3: I've been living this life of purpose, And so I 68 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 3: tell other individuals like a lot of people. 69 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 2: Have wasted potential. 70 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 3: That means they got something great inside them, but they 71 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 3: don't see it. They got something great inside them, they 72 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 3: don't know how to tap into it. They got something 73 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 3: great aside them, but they think like time has passed. 74 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 3: They got some great inside them, but they can't get 75 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 3: over the victim mindset. They got some great inside them, 76 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 3: but they don't know how to pursue the. 77 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:08,839 Speaker 2: Thing that God has already put inside of them. 78 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 3: So that wasted potential is a real thing that people 79 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 3: struggle with every single day, and so I try to 80 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 3: show them like, no, no, no, it's a whole little world 81 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,519 Speaker 3: out here. There's so much more you can accomplish and 82 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 3: achieve if you believe and then you pursue it. But 83 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 3: most people don't be paid. They don't believe it, and 84 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 3: they don't pursue it. And so that's what we call 85 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 3: waste the potential. 86 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 2: Well, you know a lot of people because of the 87 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 2: word fear. 88 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: Now, waste depicture offers a direction that you don't know 89 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: and that will create fear. So I'm just building our 90 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: conversation at Jeremy because I think there's a journey when 91 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: you are constantly motivating people your academy, that's what it does, right, 92 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: and one wants to come to your academy. A lot 93 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: of people have a perception of what motivation is or 94 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: what public speaking is. When one comes to your academy, 95 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: what are you trying to achieve and what perception are 96 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: you trying to tell people not. 97 00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 2: To come with? 98 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, the first thing is people coming all the time. 99 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 3: They like, I'm trying to get the bag.

So 130 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 3: we talk about waste of potential. I'm like, you know 131 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 3: already went through all this pain, all this hell, all 132 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 3: this suffering, all this heartbreak, but you overcame it. But 133 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 3: you keep it to yourself. It's only a testimony if 134 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 3: you testify, right.

Never really 303 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,199 Speaker 3: went to class, never really focused, never really showed up, 304 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 3: failed and wasted that whole school year. 305 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,319 Speaker 2: Now, the third year came around. I'm at the. 306 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 3: School called Huntsville High also went hunts for Alabama. And 307 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 3: on the first day of school, the teachers was like, 308 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 3: we're so glad you here, and I was like what. 309 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 2: They was just like, we heard so many interesting things 310 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,439 Speaker 2: about you.

We believe that you can bounce back. 313 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 3: We believe there's a leader inside you. And so I 314 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 3: was like, wow, that's interesting. And so their energy was different, 315 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 3: and I saw that they kept showing up for me. 316 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 3: And when I saw their challenging into the pain, when 317 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 3: I realized teachers didn't have to be teachers, when I 318 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 3: realized they could have went into accounting, and they could 319 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 3: have took up some other professions. When I saw teachers 320 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 3: that was diagnosed with cancer, one was grieving her husband. 321 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 2: You know what I said. 322 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 3: One used to be an engineer, but he quit that 323 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:14,839 Speaker 3: job to be a teacher and make a third or 324 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 3: blessed money. Like when I saw that, I felt they 325 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 3: heart and they connected with my heart, and I went 326 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 3: all in. 327 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 2: It was like, yo, if you believe in me, I 328 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 2: believe in me. 329 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,319 Speaker 3: And so I put my head down, handled my business, 330 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 3: summer school, night school, caught up with my right grade, 331 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 3: graduate from high school on time, went to college, got 332 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 3: my bachelor's, got my master's degree because they believed in me. 333 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 3: So now I trained and speak and motivate teachers, and 334 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 3: I teach them to teach by faith and not by sight. 335 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,719 Speaker 3: Because I had other teachers that looked at me in 336 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 3: stereotype me. But that third school, I came across the 337 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 3: group of teachers that chose to see the best. 338 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: And that's what you call environment. Absolutely, and so let's 339 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: talk about environment and mindset. And I like to be 340 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: able to keep just in the mindset of small business 341 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: owners who are surround generally shying about people who doubt there, 342 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: which could be your wife, it could be your freecher, 343 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: could be your coworkers. Because everybody has a stereotype of 344 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: who or what you are capable of achieving the life 345 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: based on what they are, right, And that's the environment, right, 346 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: how do you live in that same environment but adjust 347 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: the mindset in that environment to achieve your success well. 348 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 3: And sometimes sometimes you got to leave certain environments that 349 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 3: don't serve you well, you know what I'm saying. 350 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 2: And then sometimes there's also the environment of. 351 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 3: The mind because a lot of people say, go where 352 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 3: you celebrated, now we tolerated. 353 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 2: That's deep. I get it. I heard that twenty years ago. 354 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 3: But it's not always as easy to say I'm packing 355 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 3: up and I'm leaving this company, right, I'm packing up 356 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 3: and I'm leaving this marriage. 357 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 2: Like no, no, no, no, no, you are the common denominator. 358 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 3: You. When they interview Nelson Mandela and they was like, 359 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 3: how does it feel to be free? My man was like, actually, 360 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 3: I was already free when I was behind bars, you 361 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. So sometimes the bars and shackles 362 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 3: we have in our lives, it's what's happening right here 363 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 3: instead of our brain. And so when we change the 364 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 3: environment of our minds, that can shift everything. And now, 365 00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 3: when we see ourselves better and we value ourselves more, 366 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 3: you see the greatness of societies and now that energy, 367 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 3: other people are attracted to that work that we see within, 368 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 3: and then they change our outside environment as well. 369 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 2: And that's how. 370 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 3: Folks can go through a whole other level. But it 371 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 3: starts right here and right here, you know, I'll talk 372 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 3: about habits on this show. 373 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: I tell people Monday through Friday, I get up at 374 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: four thirty, and I also tell people I'm not happy 375 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: getting up at four thirty. 376 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 2: Come on. 377 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: So it's a habit that works for me. And I'm 378 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: not recommending that everybody gets, but you got to have 379 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: an habit, and that habit, as you say, Jeremy, is 380 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: non negotiable. 381 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 2: Come on, And that's important that people. 382 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: Understand that benefits aren't always feel good, right right right. 383 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure Lebron will tell you right now he 384 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: doesn't enjoy working out, Come on, but he knows the 385 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: benefits of working out are non negotiable, absolutely, and that's 386 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: why he's still at forty one putting up twenty five 387 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: a game. Come on, Okay, so let's talk about the 388 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: non negotiable that people try to negotiate in their path 389 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: a journey to success. 390 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 3: Well, people want to take the easy road out and 391 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 3: they and they want to be comfortable. So three times 392 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 3: a week, I'm gonna go to the sauna after the gym, 393 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 3: and then after about thirty minutes of the sauna, I'm 394 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 3: gonna get that cold punch and that water. 395 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 2: Be cold, bro, you know what I'm saying. 396 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 3: And I'm in Nah, it's like it's like really cold, 397 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 3: it's like bone chilling cold, but it's mentally and not 398 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 3: get in there, and I'm in there for anywhere from 399 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 3: forty five minutes. You know what I'm saying, Because I'm 400 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 3: trying to train and fix my brain to embrace this comfort. 401 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 2: If not, I'm out here weak, bro. 402 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 3: If not, I'm out here just going off of well, 403 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 3: what makes me feel good and what makes me comfortable. 404 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 3: And every soldier ain't never experience that. Anybody building, they 405 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 3: endure pain. When you see someone with a whole bunch 406 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 3: of muscles, that is symbolic of I. 407 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 2: Went through a whole lot of pain. There's a lot 408 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 2: of sacrifice. 409 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 3: So I tell folks like, for me, that's my non 410 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 3: negotiable for me and non negotiable. It's waking up early 411 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 3: in the morning, like you four thirty five o'clock. Sometimes 412 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 3: my friends laugh at me, I'm slipping till five third. 413 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 3: They're like, slip in. But hey, that's a non negotiable. 414 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 3: And then I'm not just up early and I'm cracking 415 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 3: over that email. I'm seeking God. I'm having my time 416 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 3: to pray, I'm having my time to meditate, I'm following 417 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,640 Speaker 3: up with people, I'm connecting with others like I'm having 418 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 3: that time to make sure I'm grounded so I can 419 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 3: be the best husband, so I can be the best father, 420 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 3: so I can be the best author and CEO and 421 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,919 Speaker 3: coach and mentor to others. So I got to make 422 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 3: sure that I'm routed and grounded and I'm in. 423 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 2: The best place. So those are some of my non negotiables. 424 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 3: And that's how I'm able to kind of guide myself 425 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 3: throughout life. 426 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: You know, it's really interesting sometimes you have to there 427 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: are two ways of being a professional, Like you go 428 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: to the outlook that can tell you you can schedule 429 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: your emails, and then you have to sometimes tell people 430 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: who you are. And so I'll send out of emails. 431 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: I wake up before a third they get emails five 432 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: going out and they come back later, go, you really 433 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: were up at five. That's establishing your brand. What is 434 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: the Jeremy Anderson's brand. That's a good question, man. I 435 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: would probably say perseverance in family. 436 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. 437 00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 3: Half the time when I'm speaking, I'm talking about family 438 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 3: things I've gone through. You know what I'm saying, because 439 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 3: there has been no one that has grown me and 440 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 3: broken my heart more than my wife. Ain't no other 441 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 3: personal play on Earth has hurt me and helped me 442 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 3: as much as she didn't hurt me intentionively. 443 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 2: We were just two young, broken people trying to figure 444 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 2: it out. 445 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,120 Speaker 3: So I made it to sixteen years in marriage because 446 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 3: I embraced a lot of that pain. And so a 447 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 3: lot of times on stage I talk about that because 448 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 3: folks see. 449 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 2: You making millions and they see successful on stage. 450 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 3: It's like, but you ain't see me crying, and you 451 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 3: didn't realize when I was depressed, and you didn't see 452 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 3: me in my own personal counseling sessions, and you ain't 453 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 3: seen me in my marriage coaching sessions, and you ain't 454 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 3: see me trying to figure out how I'm a clear 455 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 3: payroll for one of my other companies, like you didn't 456 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 3: see to struggle. 457 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 2: So a lot of times I'm on that. 458 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 3: My brain is perseverance, and I would say my brand 459 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 3: is family and everything I'm doing, I'm helping individuals go 460 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 3: to the next level and I'm helping them experience next 461 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,919 Speaker 3: level living. But in order to do that, there is 462 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,640 Speaker 3: a certain amount of pain that you got to experience. 463 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 3: But I really believe I'm accounted all joy. I really 464 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 3: believe that these things is happening. Don't happen to me, 465 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 3: They're happening for me.

It was 499 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: like early flight six am, so it was on the 500 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: road like four point thirty to get the airport. 501 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 2: And she looked at me. 502 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: I was driving and she was sitting over there in 503 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,360 Speaker 1: the passage seat, and she said, when are you tired? 504 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,640 Speaker 1: And I looked at it and I said, I'm tired 505 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 1: right now, come on, come on, And so it goes 506 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 1: to habits, you know, and perseverance overcoming their odds. Talk 507 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: to my listeners about excuses, because we can tell people 508 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,959 Speaker 1: how we feel, whether it's good or bad, but they 509 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: really want to hear, especially when they deem you being successful, right, 510 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: talk about excuses. 511 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 2: So excuses is. 512 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,199 Speaker 3: Something I feel like every human struggles with because there's 513 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 3: a difference between making an excuse versus explaining where you 514 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 3: are and what you got going on. And so everybody's 515 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 3: going to have a certain level of challenges and situations. 516 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,479 Speaker 3: But what are you going to do about it? And 517 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 3: so for me, I try not to make excuses. I 518 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 3: try to take extreme ownership. So in every single situation, 519 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 3: I'm like, you know what, that was my fault? What 520 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 3: could I have done differently? Yes, this went wrong and 521 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 3: she dropped the ball here, but really, ultimately, if I'm involved, 522 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,400 Speaker 3: it's probably something different I could have did. 523 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 2: So I try to get rid of excuses. 524 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,439 Speaker 3: And I actually my team knows running joke across all 525 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 3: of our companies. They know that one thing that really 526 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 3: takes me off is excuses. I'm like, just take ownership. 527 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 3: But when I start breaking out in the hives and 528 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 3: I start hearing excuses, and folks is like, well if 529 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 3: this would have happened and that happened, well when I'm like, 530 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 3: I don't want to hear no excuses. Just admit you 531 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 3: dropped the ball. Just admit you make mistakes, Just admit 532 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 3: that you're human. I have so much respect for that. 533 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,400 Speaker 3: So I'm by yo, miss me with the excuses, because 534 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 3: I ain't never met nobody that become great from excuses. 535 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 3: And you can reach way more accomplishments and way more 536 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 3: success with criticism than you will with praise and adoration. 537 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 3: And so I tell folks like, now, embrace it. You 538 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 3: made a mistake, you dropped the ball, you screw it up, 539 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 3: but it's okay.

But the audience makeup was very, 602 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:03,640 Speaker 1: very white, Hispanic black, and one would automatically think, Okay, 603 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: he's a black guy, it's gonna be a black audience. 604 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 2: That's not true.

And what we have found is that 618 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,239 Speaker 3: people are looking for something real. People will look for 619 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 3: something raw. People want to live a life a purpose. 620 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 3: People don't want to have their livelihood only connected to 621 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 3: the government and what can happen there life. They want 622 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 3: to be free, you know, and they don't want to 623 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 3: be in that position where they're not living to their 624 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,679 Speaker 3: full potential.
