So one of my first jobs, for example, I would load from midnight to 6 a.m. on this particular job. We would load boxcars with 50-pound bags of Purina cat chow. Oh, wow. That's what it was. And those box to the trains would leave in the morning and distribute those wherever they had to go. And man, I was surrounded with guys just hated that job. And my body's always been really important to me.

And I said, you know, if I do this right, love made visible. If I do this right, if I lift this just right, man, these 50 pound bags, it's a really good quad workout. And then if I shift that and lift upper body, man, I'm going to have a good upper body workout. I'm going to work eight hours. I'm going to have a good workout. I'm going to get paid for it. It's a very different way of thinking.

But that ethic has been with me all of my life. And I... I had two experiences when I was 13. I went to my first rock concert, Jefferson Airplane, and the lead singer was a woman named Grace Slick and I sat on the front row and I yelled at Grace Slick and told her I loved her and she completely ignored me, completely blew me off. But here's what happened in that room.

There are 30,000 people in that little, this is a small stadium indoors. And I saw their souls being moved by what happened on that stage. Then we left and people wanted to have that feeling again, but they couldn't get it without having something outside of themselves to replicate the experience. In that period of time, it was a vinyl album or an eight track tape is what we were using.

Not long after that, I had another opportunity to go to an outdoor stadium, 70,000 people, and there was a man named Billy Graham, an evangelist. So I wasn't so much into the message, but what I saw inspired me because he spoke to 70,000 people.

And when they left, they didn't need anything outside of them to hold the feeling because his words touched them in just the right way, that something inside of them changed the way they felt about themselves, and they were different when they left.

And I recognized that at 13 years old. And I said, there's got to be a way, maybe to combine those. So I tried as a musician for a period of time early in my life and learned that I don't want to be a musician on the road. But the words, the words became very, very powerful to me.
