And he said that 136 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 3: because my lung had collapsed so much that I you know, 137 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 3: you know it's interesting how you're long when you when 138 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 3: it collapsed, it becomes the size of a quarter. That's 139 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 3: how That's how big it was when it collapsed. And 140 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 3: then and they had to so they had to do 141 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 3: surgery on me by making an incision or right above 142 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 3: my or along my small rib cage to insert a 143 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 3: tube or guess what. They couldn't deaden anything. I had 144 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 3: to feel the incision. I had to feel the two 145 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 3: being inserted in me and deal with the pain. And 146 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 3: I remember, Jackson, it was just it was a moment 147 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 3: where you just had to deal with it. Otherwise the 148 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 3: results wouldn't have came out that would allow me to 149 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 3: talk today. How did you because that was just an incident, 150 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 3: but you're dealing with it twenty four hours a day. 151 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 4: How I think the hard part, and this took a 152 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 4: few years for me, was I was focused on what 153 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 4: I lost. I think the summer before the accident, I 154 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 4: ran the peach tree. I ran the peach tree with 155 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 4: my wife. You know, I used to bike around Thrown 156 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 4: Mountain all the time with my son. So I think 157 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 4: the first three years of this I focused on that, 158 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 4: And then what happened. I started. I met a minister 159 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 4: and she told me, hey, why don't you start focusing 160 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 4: on the things you can do?

So after after I got 167 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 4: the tools in order to figure out how to focus 168 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 4: on what I could do, what I could do for myself, 169 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 4: what I could do for my family, what I could 170 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,719 Speaker 4: do for my community.

We're a 214 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:53,439 Speaker 4: group of African American child and adolescent psychiatrists that work 215 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 4: in the Greater Atlanta area.

I think you need therapy, and 218 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 4: I just wasn't hearing it. And it wasn't until what 219 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 4: what happened. I was taking my daughter to the hair store. 220 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 4: Sally's right, yeah, closed the door on my face. I 221 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 4: started yelling at him. He called me an old man, 222 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 4: that this old man can kick your butt. And my 223 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 4: daughter was afraid of me. 224 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 3: And he little jackson that you talk about, the old 225 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 3: man could kick your butt. 226 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 1: That was you. 227 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 4: And I was in a scooter saying this. I can 228 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 4: imagine that I was in a scooter telling some twenty 229 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 4: year old pump okay that could beat him down. And 230 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,439 Speaker 4: I had my nine year old daughter there right right, 231 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 4: and she looked at me like I was crazy. And 232 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 4: I came home. I told my wife, Hey, you know 233 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 4: what or right, Adam minimal all the work that I 234 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 4: put into at that time. I put a lot of 235 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,559 Speaker 4: work into my diet, dropping weight in order to manage 236 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 4: the pain, had to put any work into my into 237 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 4: my mind. So she helped me find a therapist that 238 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 4: focused in chronic pain and the psychiatrist that did as well. 239 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 4: And the psychiatrist wasn't my saving grace because what she 240 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 4: was able to do was lay out all my meds. 241 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 4: At this time, the pain doctor was giving me meds, 242 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 4: the PCP was giving me meds, the urologists was getting 243 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 4: I was getting meds from everybody, but there was no 244 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 4: one serving as as a quarterback, you know, to basically say, hey, 245 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 4: these meds should go here, these meds shouldn't be here. 246 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 4: Whatever psychiatrists did all that, she was like, Okay, this 247 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 4: is what's making you crazy, it's making me gang weight. Yeah. 248 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 4: So basically she got rid of some things, aded some mothers, 249 00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 4: and then finally think right and be myself again. It 250 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 4: was it was almost as hey, the person that I 251 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 4: was was gone for years and finally I could think 252 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 4: the way the way I normally did. 253 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, because a lot of people who deal with I 254 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 3: get there.

And 362 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 3: when you were I had a book like this, which I 363 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 3: feel is a very, very a purposeful book. How I 364 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 3: Made Money, you know is one of those chapters in 365 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 3: your book. What problem do you select investing as a 366 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 3: money maker? 367 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 4: Well, I think what I did, and I think any 368 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 4: chronic pain patient in my position should do this as well. 369 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 4: Come to the reality that you are limited in what 370 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,879 Speaker 4: you can do. Right. If you're lucky with the payments, 371 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 4: you may have a few hours of lucidity at best. 372 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 4: So the question is what's the best way to make 373 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,119 Speaker 4: money the biggest bang for the book in that short 374 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 4: amount of time. And for me, it was investing. Let's see, 375 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 4: because of because I have a lot of great in 376 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 4: the NBA, I spent a lot of time crunching numbers 377 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 4: and analyzing trends in my career, so I thought, hey, 378 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 4: why why can't I use that for the stock market. 379 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 4: So essentially what I did was I said, hey, how 380 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 4: much money could I afford to lose on a trip 381 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 4: to Vegas. I'm talking hotel, airfare, gambling, whatnot. I'll without 382 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 4: losing any sleep. So I took those funds and I 383 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 4: started investing. I think, so you're. 384 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 3: Saying, maybe just give us a number of day. I 385 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 3: don't know how what's your trip to Vegas?

Okay, so five to ten grand. And at the 400 00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 4: time when I started, interest rates were zero, so everybody 401 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 4: was making money, right, so I figured, hey, I had 402 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 4: more credentials than my financial planner.
