Highlights

03:36 You know, a lot of times people see the shine, but they don't see that grind that comes along with it.

03:56 The biggest thing I've learned about it is believing in myself. That's the biggest thing, believing in yourself and knowing that it is possible. Because sometimes we say that, we say we know it's possible but we really don't believe it. Because when they come we like, it's too good to be true.

12:38 One time when people speak ill of what your presence is and what you're doing in life. It's because it's–it's an insecurity within themselves.

39:55 It's very important because when you operate in your business, or even, whatever you do in life, it's very much important to be yourself. Because if you're not yourself sooner or later, you get tired of being fake, you get upset, but when you are yourself, go like that forever.

48:30 I’d tell the young man right now, man, keep grinding man stop worrying about everybody else. Because everybody else ain't meant to have the same vision as you.
