For one day, my father was there. And then the next day, he was not. And there was a lot of added pressure to pressure that we already had. But when I'm saying all this, it's not like a downer because we found our way through the storm. But that's just the reality of what happened at that time.

I was fortunate enough to have three older sisters and then a brother. I have a sister eight years older, seven years older, six years older, and then a brother three years older, and then I'm the youngest. So my older sister is just a leader of leaders and still is. So she was very wise in the area of education. So even when we were in tough neighborhoods, she saw that we all did our homework.

We knew how to really pull together. Everybody knew how to do the dishes, but at a high standard. Our house was small, but always very, very clean. Those things were important because we were able to rely on each other. So instead of there being pain and then panic, And then separation, there was pain, probably some panic, but then we learned to try to come together to heal each other.

I think what happens is that if you were to watch the movie King Richard and see Venus and Serena Williams, so that is a good part of the parts of LA that we were raised in. There was a lot of challenges in that area, but there were in inner city Detroit, Chicago, New York City, certain parts. But I was raised in an area where you really had to guard yourself and

You had to really make sure you made the right choices because the wrong choices at an early age could really take you to the wrong place fast. So I have people that are my cousins. They are the children of my aunts or uncles that are still incarcerated to this day. And I've been around a while. They're still incarcerated to this day. They're in jail. They're in prison.

So they did not make the right choices. So going to church was a big thing for me. I found that to be a safe place. I found sports to be a safe place. I played the traditional American sports, basketball, baseball, football, and my coaches were fantastic. My coaches played a real key in my life, in my development, in bringing out the champion that was inside of me.

One hundred percent. Because when you think of my sixth grade teacher, now that we had moved out of Compton, we were in another part of Los Angeles. He was Caucasian. And he said to me, Tim Story, can you stay after class? I stayed after class. He says, I think you are brilliant because I think you are brilliant. I want to see if you would like to read one of these books from my library.

And I chose this book on the life of Michelangelo. But for this guy to call me brilliant, I'd never heard that word before. So he literally branded me brilliant is the way I say it in my talks. But the thing that I was wise enough to do at that age is not push away what he said. What he said, I think you are brilliant. I didn't question it. I took it and I just put it here.

So people like that made a big impact on me and definitely has encouraged me to be what I am today and encouraging other people.

What happens is that the teacher says to me, tell me a story. Can you stay after class? And then there's like a, ooh, all the kids listen. So I go to his desk. He offers up three books. He says, you got to be done in three weeks. You have to check it out like you do at a library. He had a card. I had to sign it. I was only in sixth grade.

I read the book and literally all these years later, I'm like 30 years of age and I'm living on top. I'm already known as the life coach to the stars. I'm talking to people like Charlton Heston, Elliot Gould, Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau, Vidal Sassoon, Lee Iacocca. And my life had exploded into this amazing place. getting over a thousand invitations a year to speak.
