there is a way out that there is a way to do more to get more to obtain more but I personally don't want to lose all that I've been able to get so I need to make sure that I do everything to keep it so I can't be content mmm so there is an understanding but I refuse to click on the switch of so even if you like even if you have more money than you'll ever spend for the rest of your life that's not what it's about it's about the inspiring people and the influence
and constantly giving back and moving forward in a positive way and the only way you can do that is to stay active it's the story man yeah you know we're we're all writing a book what's your book look like mmm what is your [ __ ] book look like like your life is a book you got a bunch of chapters in your book but when they closed that book how good was the book how good was your book what was the ending to your book if the ending to my book can be so amazing because
of all that was done the money all that was accomplished the first to do the man that did this he caused a merger between this because of his commitment and growth to this the communities were then given this made education this changed the way the schooling was Baba Baba gave books gave computers gave all of the things that can be associated with you and your existence become a part of the chapters in your book so my drive is about my book I was a New York Times number-one bestseller people will be dying they did it
right in another book you ready to vote right now yeah what's it happened what happens if you are two-time New York Times number one bestseller if you get the two what happens if you get the three hey man how do books become successful who publishes them I want to start a publishing company aren't be publishing why not mmm that's the thing all I'm doing is sparking the awareness and others to go why might why can't I create why can't I start why can't I be a business why can't I be a CEO why can't I
be a tech guru why can't I [ __ ] create cooking products lotion since there's so much that some people just don't understand they can do let me be a spark to show how much how many different that you don't have to do just one thing when it's all said and done my book is gonna be full of all this [ __ ] that Kevin Hart did cuz I never was content with doing just one two or three why not Kevin why are you creating [ __ ] healthy wellness products why not I'm big on
health and wellness why can't I why can't I try to create something that I feel is [ __ ] great and jump into a space that I'm already in I already give a hundred percent of me in this space why not why can't I talk about financial wealth why can't I go back and educate those that don't know why not you got time I make time well you certainly can but it's just so unusual that someone dedicates that much energy and time to giving back and getting involved with the kind of projects that you're talking
about as well as be super ambitious with your own career it makes me happy yeah I could tell I'm genuinely happy discovery makes me happy like when you find different things to be excited about it makes me happy and it's weird when it clicks and schooldays to tell you all the time information is key read these books there's so much knowledge II [ __ ] that book got time to read that book I want to go home goddamn Sonic the Hedgehog oh god I want to play I'm at level three I got something to read
this book the information the stuff that was forced down your throat at a certain age you just you just may not be receiving it correctly but then it clicks you may gain information differently and what you do with that information is up to you but people people have different roles they can go down the education wasn't my pick of choice it didn't do it for me but the knowledge in the common sense that I have naturally allowed me to gain information apply it differently it allowed me to grow smart in so many different avenues to
where I said oh my god I found my niche I found my talent and now there's other things that my talent can take me to I don't have the all the knowledge and awareness but I can allow myself people to do that can teach me because now guess what learning is cool you know what happened you don't have to do it anymore right it's its own you're a kid they force you into this school who don't want to learn but then when you get out and you realize like oh this actually benefits me this is
making me a better person this makes me wiser it's 100 percent dirty and it's weird how it happens but when you go oh my god learning and knowledge is power mmm [ __ ] they used to tell me this when I was 10 your quads yes mom 10 11 years old I heard that [ __ ] all the time now I finally get it damn I'm out to be 40 all this time I get that goddamn cold but I got it yeah it hits you at a different time mm-hmm and when it does be excited

does you know the book that I'm working on now is all about the mental approach that you have with life and people not understanding that your biggest enemy is you my whole book is about you battling yourself people to understand is you against you the only person that gets in your way is you nobody else is you now when you write a book like this and especially about something like this this is like the way you've managed to navigate through life mhm art do you do you write it out in essays do you go do
you do you have like bullet points that you you think about and then once you have those bullet points you had then you write on those how do you do it I'll show you keep it on your phone it's all all voice notes and transcripts okay so because of your time you don't have you don't have the the time to sit and actually write mm-hmm so you need somebody that you can talk to for hours hours hours on it hey I need a Hauer block an hour for me I got some stuff I want to
talk to you about keV what what's that all right book title ideas subtitle ideas my dedication is my introductions within my introductions these are all powerful paragraphs and things that I've just said that are now transcript I get to go back and read it come see here there's no conversation at all every one of them um no conversation at all and that's what the Internet has allowed people to do the Internet has allowed people to skip steps 1 through 30 there's a lot of people to jump straight to 100 [ __ ] you cut job
off take a bow you should be dead Oh God [ __ ] can't stand this whatever the hate of the anger is when listen when listen okay when I listen and I can change I'm not that guy we're doing these weird things now that people aren't taking the time to sit and think through what I've understood is that what people are doing has nothing to do with me I should always be a step ahead because I'm thinking differently because I'm thinking about myself making myself better puts me in a position to make others better be
the example not the problem the best way to take away the problem is to a lien ate yourself from it these are this is just thoughts oh this [ __ ] thoughts I can go through I just read this is a so you just have these philosophies in your life and you just just speak it sit just speak it dance so now this is all chance qibla Columbus's that's incredible that's all [ __ ] transcript this is all Sarge's go back throughout the day and I read it and I say this is great this makes
sense this did it let me reword this I mean make sure that it's all flowing together and at the end of the day what's my reason for the book my reason for the book is to make people better my reason for the book is to make people understand yeah we all agree we all should think that we're great there's no reason for you to not think that you're great if you don't think you're great ask yourself why why don't you think the highest of yourself you do people have no no choice but to follow suit
mmm got no choice but the follow suit well a lot of people they base it on their past they base it on the life that they've experienced up until this moment makes you better yeah it does make you better bet it makes you smarter yeah well as you say it yeah that's what's interesting about it that's what's interesting about life you can hear a guy like you say that and then it changes your perspective and then you'll go out and take action that you might not have taken before I had a 585 on my SAT
confessions I didn't take my confession they get you 404 put your name on a paper it's true story Wow I guessed a BAC a da I did abracadabra all true stories what a guy handle my mother's grain a BAC a da I didn't care because there was a clash trip that same day I wanted to go great adventure I was told they're not taking my SAT seriously but prohibit me from furthering myself in life that's what I was told at the moment I said damn maybe I should have maybe I should have applied myself maybe
I should have did different when I saw all my friends get their test scores back and they were ecstatic eight hundred nine hundred ninety six TS everybody's going to college I felt like the biggest idiot in the [ __ ] world the biggest idiot in the [ __ ] world because the same people that I want to rush to go to great adventure with they had taken an SAT two week before they already got their work done hmm they did everything that was supposed to do so that moment of fun was real fun for them

supposed to do hey jackass go sit by yourself and figure it out because that's where you should be lesson learn any opportunity given should be taking series from this point on because if not you can find yourself feeling just like this it's not I get down on myself a [ __ ] moment I learn from it I learned from it now I got to take a goddamn test you best believe I'm studying for that [ __ ] test cuz I don't want to feeling like I'm the guy mmm that didn't prepare now I got a
story to tell my kids about what it feels like to be the kid in class that didn't prepare that's got the words great when they give all those grades back but it's because of my experience I don't look down on those moments you take those moments you make the best of them because they're life lessons it's that simple you're saying is positive but it's really just simplicity that's real it's real it's real and it's your life experience and it's your life's lessons 100% but the fact that a guy like you comes out and talks about
it like that that's where it makes it really powerful because it's not just something that you learn from but now other people can learn from your past too that's what I'm hoping they'll look at themselves and they realize like we all start from a different spot you're not saying yeah this is why I'm so candid I'm so candid I'm so open they're there there is no like guys I'm fine with being an open book I'm fine with the good the bad ugly I'm fine being flawed I'm fine with all the things that have happened to
