Eric Thomas

Yeah, I say both. And but to your point on the discipline. You need to be more disciplined about your minds. What do people need to be thinking about with their minds? So here's the deal. You're already in pain. Get a reward for it. It's just like, look, do me a favor. Everything you say, you're right.

But why go through life with whatever people did to you when you were younger or a young adult, and then you have to live with it for the next 40, 50 years? Why would you sit here and all the stuff that you said was absolutely right? My daddy wasn't there, my mama did this, this person did to me. Why would you let them destroy your life? Why would you let them own you?

Why would you allow that thing they did to hurt you not define your life? It's like, no, I was in pain. It's real. but get a reward for it. So for me, walking into, first of all, driving here in a car service, getting to L.A., walking in this beautiful facility, seeing the other businesses that are here, I'm like, I'm proud of you, bro. You made it.

You could have stopped at the homeless board and nobody would have tripped. Your daddy wasn't there. Your mom was 17 when she got pregnant. All the negative that happened to you. Eric, we understand. Bob, understand. Let me tell you. One of the things that just blew my mind the other day. So, you know, we were fortunate to own a home in California on the hill, right?

So we got this property, we got the basketball court with the logo, all the companies that, whatever. And I go outside yesterday and I see my wife and my son playing basketball. And I'm thinking to myself, in California, on the hill, looking at all these beautiful properties. My wife and my son are outside hooping. Dream life. My wife was like, I want to work out.

My son was like, I didn't even know. She was like, I'm going to play basketball. I'm like, I can't do it right now. And I'm listening to a voice. He came home, heard the basketball, went out with his mom. I'm like, yo, my son, 29 years old, is spending time with his mom as an adult male. Wow. He could be anywhere doing anything. He's with his mom, her firstborn.

They got this bond that I don't have. And they're out here hoping. And as I look at the property, I'm like, yo, what if the 16 year old Eric Thomas would have stayed the 16 year old Eric Thomas? So I'm saying for those who listen, get a reward for it and then do me a favor. Don't just think about you. Like, do you know that my son? In his mind, this is where you start.

He got the sauna, the pool, the whirlpool. He's starting somewhere I never started. The cars, the Rolls Royce, the Escalade. He's starting somewhere I didn't start. Why? Because I didn't stop where I started. I didn't stop. I was like, okay, this is where we started, but this is not about to be my end. And so his beginnings look dope.

My man went to Michigan State and was a general manager for Enzo. He traveled the world. He's got a Final Four win and an Elite Eight win. He's got the jacket. He sat under Coach Enzo, Hall of Fame coach for four years. Coach OG. He sat under these guys. Like his boys, some of his boys went to the league. There's some of them still in the league. Like he got that because I didn't go.

I quit because my mom, my dad did. So I quit. I give up. This is worst thing ever happened. I was like, you get a reward for it. And so to see my son, I'm coming to a concert tonight with my daughter. Listen to me. Like I didn't give up. And so I'm saying to everybody, we all go through pain. Some of us go through pain and it becomes our tombstone.
