So I just think it's a beautiful thing, man, 302 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: when you pursue it, and then what happens is what 303 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: I believe is when you pursue something wholeheartedly and you 304 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: go after it as hard as you can. I believe 305 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: the universe gives you passes to different worlds. You might 306 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: you might start off today like I did, say. You know, 307 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: I'm a basketball player. That's I drive the ball, I shoot, 308 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: I dunk. This is my thing. Man, I'm really good. 309 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: You go after that so hard. Sometimes the universe might 310 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: put you in a situation where you oversee and you 311 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: put a movie in the DVD plaint and be like, man, 312 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: I love this. This is dope. I never in my 313 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: life thought I would pursue something as hard as basketball. 314 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: And here it is film, you know what I mean? 315 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 1: And here it is now as I do film. Now 316 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: I'm going like, man, what's next? And now it becomes philanthropy, 317 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: helping people, educating people, empowering our people, because that's what 318 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: we don't do it up. So it's just a it's 319 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: it's an interesting time, man. Well it's a beautiful time 320 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: because the passion is there and the fact that that's 321 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: why I do this show money making conversation to give 322 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 1: a voice behind the lens and the layer of why 323 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 1: these journeys mean something.
