Eric Thomas

Yeah, no question.

So thank you.

Yeah, thank you.

Yeah, I'm going to say honestly, man, you know, I came to the realization one day and again, love my biological father, you know, much respect, much respect for the person that raised me.

But I realized at some point when I looked at my family's history, I was like some things I don't want and some things I want.

But there's some things I don't want.

And then I remember having to say one day to myself, you know, you are your father's child.

Like yo, even though he didn't raise you, even though in the beginning you guys had, you know, whatever little stuff y'all need to get through, E, don't lie, you are lazy at times.

You know what I'm saying?

Like E, you are super social and you'd rather talk than work.

You know what I'm saying?

I just had to grow up one day and just be real with myself and just say, E, the only way you're going to be successful is you got to discipline yourself.

You know, when you look at a horse, I'm talking about a thoroughbred, it still needs that, what is that thing called that they put on it?

He still needs that without, you know, you can't, you got to control him.

You know, he got a lot of juice, got a lot of energy.

He can go for it.

But you got to hone that.

And so I realized, like, yo, E, you'd sleep in.

You'd play video games.

Don't lie to yourself.
