Chapter 1: What are the biggest misconceptions about finding success?
People need to know nobody's coming to your doorstep to save you. Nobody, this isn't Publisher's Clearinghouse. Nobody's in the neighborhood and they heard you live there and they're coming and bringing you a check. You gotta get your ass up and get outside and go try to find something for you, man. It's not always on social media. People fail to realize that.
People are so afraid to leave what they're already standing on, but like, remember, you can always come back to that.
take the leap forward you fall backwards you're back to step one okay you already been there you know what to expect there and try it again whatever it is that you gotta be you have to be real to you first because at the end of the day that's what people will look up to you for being is that you respect yourself first then others yeah how can they respect you though in that aspect if they don't see you respecting yourself
All right, guys, got a big one today. We got Sharp.
Chapter 2: How important is mental clarity in personal growth?
We out here in Vegas about to make it happen. Finally, trying to make this happen for a while, man. How you been?
I've been good, man. How you been? I've been busy. I see, man. Shit, you said you already did six.
I already did six today. You know how it is with content. You got to be nonstop. You're live four hours a day, right?
Yeah, but it can get draining. You know what I mean? So you got to make sure that you find some time just to unwind. Right. I don't, man, literally do nothing. Not phone, not the TV, nothing, man. Just sit there. Sometimes it's cool.
Chapter 3: What lessons can be learned from dealing with fake friends in business?
Man, I'll just sit on the porch, let the breeze fly by, smoke a cigarette, just think. You know what I mean? I know it might sound simple, but, I mean, it's my form of therapy because people be needing some therapy after this. You know what I'm saying? Especially listening. I mean, because when you interview people, right, it's like they on something to you.
It's like something that you carry now. You know what I'm saying? So I feel like I carry something from every person I've ever interacted with on camera.
You definitely pick up a little something from everyone.
You pick up a little something from everyone. It's like it carries with you through life. Just that little piece of information, whether it was just like you sitting there listening to a story and you're like, damn. You know, you go home and even think about it. Like, I can't believe I heard that today. You know, it lives with you, man.
Damn, I didn't know you had that side of you because I know you're an extrovert. Do you get in your head a lot?
Yeah. I mean, I feel like I'm my best friend.

Chapter 4: How does criticism contribute to personal development?
I'm my worst enemy. I'm my everything. You know what I mean? So I can look in the mirror and say something to myself, but deep down inside, I know that's not true. You get what I'm saying? I know it's not true. I know I'm BSing myself in a sense. I really want to cuss, but I ain't trying to ruin it for you just yet. I'll make sure it goes about a good 10 minutes.
You know how it is.
I ain't going to ruin it for you.
You liking filming in Vegas, though, compared to L.A.? What do you like about it?
Yeah, I mean, I feel like I got more, I don't want to make it sound crazy, but I feel like I got more control of what I got going on here than I did before.
I mean this is what's home for you before so yeah yeah it was home before so it's like coming here it's like a shit I feel like I should have never left for real I feel like I should have been here the whole time yeah I feel like you uh learned a lot though when you did that LA stuff you know definitely that that's one thing that I could say that if I gained anything from it was some experience you know I mean I feel like experience is everything for everybody so I mean if
You really care about something. Experience should be the number one thing that you walk away with other than money, friends, just whatever. You should definitely walk away with that first.
You ever mix friendship and business?
Yeah.

Chapter 5: What experiences shape one's perspective on fame?
Yeah. I have, you know, but I think what happens is you kind of learn as you grow, as you progress, you know who to do business with as friends and who not to. You know what I mean? Like there's certain friends in my life I'm like, okay, I might do this for, but I'll give you some money or like, hey, we can go make some little moves here and there.
But anything big, I know I can't really go past that with you because I know it's probably not going to pan out. And if I do, I can't really be upset with that, right? Because I should have knew better. I'm like, nah, that ain't them. That's not their personality. That's not their character. That's not even how they get down. You know what I mean?
So I think I know what kind of friends to go into business with, what friends not to, you know, whether age or color. Doesn't matter. I think I've learned that even in experience of just podcasts and media. You know, it doesn't matter, man. Snakes and demons and all types of shit come in all shapes, colors, forms and sizes, man. So, you know, you just got to watch.
Yeah.
Snakes are unavoidable in business, dude.

Chapter 6: Why is self-respect crucial before helping others?
man bro they're everywhere they suck the life out of you man they try to get everything that they possibly can out of you but i think that's a lot of people these days though right like they use you for what they can use you for and then when they feel like they have no more use for you it's when it's kind of like all right well i'm cool i don't really want to you know fuck with you anymore yeah i'm i'm straight like it's i don't know it's this business is tricky especially uh
podcasting or media putting any type of sense of your life on the camera yeah because if you uh you stop generating the views for them they'll just cut you off right it's cutthroat Yeah, the fans, I mean, it's not even, I'm not even talking about like just fucking around with just people immediately.
Like you got people that if you're not doing something that they feel like you should be doing, they say they don't watch you, but they still do, right? Even if it's to come bash you. Think about it, like comments and just people like just coming from all over. You know what I mean? Like that's just what they do, man. Like, but I feel like it's a love-hate relationship.
You got to kind of grow with it if you want to stay in it. I feel like the day I'll be worried, is when they stop talking about me altogether. Facts. You need the hate. You got to have it, man. It's like a battery, right? What does it take? A positive and a negative to make that motherfucker run.
I love that.
You know what I'm saying?

Chapter 7: How do personal relationships influence business decisions?
I mean, shit, you got to have that. I mean, without that, it's nothing.
Oh, that's bars right there.
I'm just being honest, man.
My most viral clips are, yeah, like you said, a positive and a negative, dialing it out in the comments. You got it. Hey, you got to have it, man.
It's what... In a fucked up way, it's what creates you or your presence. You know what I'm saying? What people want to think about you. But really, these people don't know us. They don't know me. Yeah. They think they do, you know, but they only know what they see.
Absolutely. You ever respond to any of the hate or are you kind of just ignored at this point?
Um... I kind of learned back in the very beginning when I first got into this, I'm like, yeah, I used to get mad because I'm a human being, bro. We're all people still at the end of the day.

Chapter 8: What insights can be gained from the Las Vegas lifestyle?
Your most famous person can have a crash out. You know what I'm saying? Crash out moment or be sick or need some help mentally or whatever. But people expect them because they have all this money, all this fame. You're supposed to act this way. You're not allowed to be normal. Even though there's no such thing as normal, but you're not allowed to be how they are.
They can have all these episodes and all this extra shit going on, whether it's domestic violence, all that shit. You don't hear about that shit. Let a famous person scratch a person. Man, they're in court for months, and it's all on cameras being talked about and bashed, and they're getting humiliated and all this extra shit, man. I don't get it.
Yeah, I saw what you said about R. Kelly. You wanted a lighter sentence for him, right? He was in the media.
I feel like this, for R. Kelly, did he do a lot of that shit? Yeah, he did. I'm sure he did. I'm sure he did a lot of it. But I'm like, if you're gonna put him in jail, why aren't the parents in jail? The parents were the ones that were cool with all that shit and him taking them to their house. I mean, come on, man.
He's sitting there wearing matching Mickey Mouse sweaters with Aaliyah on the couch. I mean, it wasn't in people's face back then. It lets me know that, yeah, I might not have been around back then or in that type of air watching that shit, but it goes to show that, hey, it was in people's faces and nobody was saying anything. So what's the issue today? Why is it so heavy?
Why is the boot coming down so hard now? Is it because he's not willing to pay those people anymore, those families? You know, I'm sure there was agreements. When people get a little bit, what do they do? They always come back and get more because they feel like they can. Right. That's why I always say this.
When you give somebody some money, any of these celebrities, when you give one of these people that wants some money from you just off the rip, you just opened up the door for that shit for a lifetime because they're always going to come back. If they know they can get it from you once, they know they can get it twice, three times, and so on. Facts. You know what I mean?
So it would probably be best for you just to fight it the first rip.
Yeah.
