So like when I was a dishwasher at 15 and a half at a restaurant, I bet that job was dope. I loved... Because I was making money for the first time, right? Yep. So I didn't know that I was going to like graduate from the dishwasher to the busboy. And then, you know, I went, kept taking steps.
mostly when you decide to be you. So if you're rolling around Miami in a red coat, that's really a cool red coat, then it's gonna be different. So I gotta tell you this story real quick. So when I was 19, I was in a nightclub with some of my friends and we watched this guy and they said, and let's welcome to the stage Prince. So Prince was only 21, I was 19.
And I remember he had one song, I'm gonna be your lover. And then like the second, third, fourth song, people didn't like him as much. I promise you, they started booing Prince. And one of my friends says, bless this guy's heart, man. He's going nowhere. But I promise you, I said, no, he's a star. He's just going to find the right songs, right? But it's so true that when you choose to be original,
The resistance is going to hit you even stronger, but you got to stay with your originality.
So first I got to ask you a question. How did you get to where you like float into a room? Because you never just enter.
I'm being so serious because I'm around everybody. You know that. Yeah. Dude, you float into a room and I love it.
Yeah, so in your originality in what you do, I did this in the thought leader space. where when I speak, I'm more of an artist. I'm creating art on stage. So I never studied speakers, because I think most speakers are not that great. I studied comedians, because comedians have the best timing. Because they're storytellers. They want a response from you. The idea is every minute and a half.
So they're looking for laughter. So I learned that way. And then also the typical thought leader or speaker vibe, I never became that guy. And I think that that's what made me a person that has now been to 81 countries of the world where I've been able to take that gifting that came out of Compton to the world because of being original.
100%.
Okay, so I'm going to give them the final point on this. So you have to take inventory. And then remember we talked about you got to partner with the right people. Then you have to find the right principles. Then you get the right plan. The next thing is you have to learn to be persistent. Mm-hmm. And that's where a lot of people fail is that they're not persistent long enough.
So like you got to keep being a dishwasher, right? You got to keep being an entrepreneur, even though they took your money. So it is true. The whole thing that people said probably a hundred years ago, persistence breaks resistance. And that's one thing you are. That's one thing I am like, there's nothing going to stop.
When you look at yourself and Gary Vee, some of the other guys that have hit it big, it was the fact that we started seeing your faces over and over and over and over. And then you start to say, like, who is this person? What's behind that brand? Maybe I should follow them. So you're right. It is that persistence and just sticking with it.
Biggest win would be, I'm in the recovery space, like owning recovery centers to help people get better. Right. Love it.
I would say biggest challenge would be the one we mentioned is trusting people that are on your team because you promoted them. You even mentored them. I mentored them. And then for them to then be Judas Iscariot to you.
Yeah, but I would like to just close with this on that subject. But I did learn to forgive this person because if you don't forgive, forget, go forward, you're in trouble. And so I released that person, and I don't wish him any harm. But I learned a great lesson. So you have to forgive, forget, go forward.
I think just timstory.com. So story spelled different, S-T-O-R-E-Y, which you're familiar with in England because they have that there more. But timstory.com.
