I 82 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 4: was born in Brooklyn and moved to bald with Long Island. 83 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 4: I was an overweight kid.

If you think about it, how many people 92 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 4: listen to your podcast? Thousands and thousands of folks listen 93 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 4: and watch you every Sunday and see you're a brand, Jay, 94 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 4: And if we look at each of ourselves as a brand, 95 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 4: it's amazing how people change their perspective on themselves and 96 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 4: what they do and how they do it. And if 97 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 4: you think it for one second, choose your favorite brand, 98 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 4: whatever it might be, and why is that your favorite brand? 99 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 4: Try to emulate that as a person, as a human 100 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 4: and how you go about your day to day living. 101 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 4: And it's amazing the choices that you make. Because I'm 102 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,919 Speaker 4: a big believer in decision making. I have woo, my 103 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 4: daughter's thirty one, I got three boys twenty nine, twenty 104 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 4: four and twenty two. We talk a lot about decision 105 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 4: making and if you have to think about something too long, 106 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 4: probably something you shouldn't be doing, and it just goes 107 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 4: back to you thinking about how you want to be 108 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 4: in this world now getting too crazy about it, you know, 109 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 4: because it's always the guy with the C average. Hi 110 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 4: is the guy with the A average. And that's been 111 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 4: my life. I might say it with you buddy.
