So if you'll pull over, we'll just, we can walk the rest of the way. And the guy, the cool football player guy who was about to light up said, you know what? I'm not doing it. I'm not going to do it. And he didn't light it up. He put it back away and continued to give us a ride. Well, that all came. from a little anecdotal story that my dad told me.
Somehow innately, maybe it's because of him being a cowboy. Like cowboys are, they don't talk a lot, but if they do talk, they talk in story. And that's how you teach the youngsters how to herd the cattle or how to win a war or how to overcome something. You did it through story. And I learned then that story was much more effective.

Telling a story as you're raising your kids to what you want them, tell them a story of the example that you went through, they will follow suit. But if you tell them not to smoke marijuana, they might try marijuana.

And one time I was driving and just a story that I just told you, John, my brother said, hey, could you pull over? Me and my brother got to get out of the car. And I tell my kids that all the time. And you know what? I don't know if it's been helpful for them, but it's much better to train people and teach people Based on story, on anecdotal evidence, instead of telling them what to do.

Because even my kids too, right? Like I'm a good parent, but they do not listen to what I tell them to do. They don't, right? They listen to what other people tell them to do, but they listen to the story and they live into their future. Likewise, because of the story. Anyway, my dad did that our whole lives.

He gave us example after example of a person that did something that he didn't want us to do. Whether that was drinking, whether that was womanizing, whether that was cheating on your girlfriend, whatever it was, he would give us examples of it in his life. And then we would just sit there and listen to him and go, okay, I think I know what he's training me to do.

And you just become those stories that a great storyteller tells you. You become those stories. And that's why I talk a lot about storytelling because I think in the end, looking back, it is the thing that kind of saved my butt, storytelling.

It was really hard because I was trained to be great. I was trained to be the best in the world at one thing. And that one thing was very violent and it was to hurt people. That's what safeties did in the 80s. That's what we were known for. That was legal on the football field, but completely illegal in the civilian world. So I had to find a story for myself that got me through that.
