ended up hanging out with the wrong crowd. Was behind 7-Eleven, got into a scrap with the a bunch of other kids. And again, this at 10 years old, got stabbed. I didn't have a home. Obviously, I was in a group home. I got adopted. When someone asks you, hey, I want you to do a thousand squats. One one person's going to go laugh at you and go, "Oh man, I can't do that." Or the other person is immediately going to start thinking about a solution cuz how does it work? How am I going to do it? If you're not willing to go this hard, whereas somebody pushing you past what your normal limitations are, then how do you expect to get to the level you want to get to to make a living at it? Because that's what you're going to have to do to get there. I will say that in my career, I mean, I that was focus and determination, desire, and nothing was going to get in the way of me succeeding. Are you a man of faith? I am. Yes. Yes. What is your thought process? The guy standing across from me is taking food off my table. He's taking clothes off my kids' back. I said, "Taking away my opportunity to be relevant, to be successful. I'm going to hurt him. I'm going to destroy him." He just looked at me all empty like I was like, "Whoa, I don't know if I can fix you." So he looks at me, he goes, "Well, see that's a sin." It's like I I have this gift and in my heart, in my mind, I knew that it wasn't wrong. It was God-given. I There's no way I could be this way. It was a gift. You can't be wrong. Like, it just can't be wrong. If you're going to be that guy, you're going to be him. Money isn't relevant. Being good at something and not being tested isn't good for you. How are you going on? The show must go on.
