Chapter 1: What insights does Sharp share about personal growth?
people need to know nobody's coming to your doorstep to save you nobody this isn't publishers clearinghouse nobody's in the neighborhood 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.
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. 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.
Chapter 2: How does Sharp define self-respect in relationships?
Sometimes it's cool. 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. 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.? 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, I have. 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. 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.

Chapter 3: What challenges does Sharp face with fake friends in business?
So I think I know what kind of friends to go into business with, what friends not to, 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.
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 is 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 in media.
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? I mean, shit, you got to have that.
I mean, without that, it's nothing. Oh, that's bars right there.

Chapter 4: How does negativity fuel personal growth according to Sharp?
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, uh... 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. 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, it's 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. You know, 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. Mm-hmm. They're going to have to take it. You know what I mean? Because once you, isn't it like an admission of guilt, don't you think? I think so. When you kind of be like, here, man, just here's the money. No, y'all going to have to make me give it up. Y'all going to have to make me give it up.

Chapter 5: What lessons did Sharp learn from his experiences in LA vs Vegas?
We'll go to court and you'll take it that way. But I'm not just going to sit there and just settle out because that shows that I'm admitting to some of the things. Obviously, I did something. Mm-hmm. You know what I mean? And they're going to start looking at it like, oh, well, something stems from a truth, right? Yeah. I just feel like it opens up a Pandora box that y'all want to open up.
Does that shit ever scare you, like what Shannon Sharp went through, what Andrew Tate went through with the previous girl in the past coming up for money in the future? Does that ever scare you now that you're famous? Mm-mm. You're not scared of it? Mm-mm. You know why? Why? Because everybody already knew where I came from from the beginning. So it's like, why even?
How are you going to throw that on me? That's like calling the kettle black. Come on, dog. Like, if you really think about it, right? It's like, well, nobody ever lets me forget where I come from, so let's not try to forget it now. You know what I mean? Like, I mean, people are going to say what they want to say. Shouldn't chicks be staying far away from me? I thought, right?
So what's the problem? It seems like I'm dolo. I'm just doing my own thing, and I'm sitting here podcasting with you, Sean. Respect you. A lot of guys worry about that these days, dude. So respect. Listen, I get why, though. I understand why. I get why a lot of people worry about it is because, and I've said this before, if you think about it, man, and I want you to really dig deep with me here.
See, when people were getting famous, every chick's looking for a bag. It used to be, you know, let's have a baby. You can get money that way. You can get money by marriage. You know what I'm saying? Let's get money. A chick can get some money that way.
Guys have gotten smarter to where it's like, okay, well, I ain't about to have a baby with you, and I'm definitely not about to marry you without a prenup or whatever the case may be, right? What's the next best thing?

Chapter 6: How does Sharp handle criticism and hate?
A tax. Oh, well, he sexually assaulted me. He sexually assaulted me for 14 years, or he did this to me. He did that to me. It's like... They have to have a go-to somewhere, man. And I'm not saying some of these stories aren't real, but we can't kind of tell that some of them are being kind of, you know, pussyfooted some, like just because they know it's a big topic.
And if, you know, you put the R word on somebody or you put those type of allegations on him, it looks a little nastier. You know what I mean? It doesn't sound as bad when I just say, hey, man, I'm just pimping some bitches around the corner. You know, it don't sound too fucked up, right? It's like, hey, man, you just pimping some bitches around the corner. It's not as bad as the R word.
But when you got somebody sit there and say, well, they're sex trafficking, now it's a problem. Right. You get what I'm saying? They got to just learn the wordplay. Wordplay is what makes shit stick to the ceiling. Words are important. It's like wet paper towels, man. We got to see which one's going to stick. Them type of things stick.
They know how to form different words now to certain shit, man. You know what I mean? And that's why I feel like you even see, like, sex trafficking coming on to like, you know what I'm saying? Diddy and people like that. Like, think about it. Like really, if you really look at it, it's like, right. He was just a freaky motherfucker. Okay. Yeah. He was doing sex parties.
He's doing all that type of shit. Granted, I'm not taking away like whatever happened, but if you, you really look at it, They had to go put sexual, like it has to be some type of trafficking. Somebody has to sound like they were getting hurt or pushed past their means. That's the only way that shit be sticking. You know what I mean?
So that's why when I even look at that and even for, you know, when you got your mans, and I love old Unk. You know what I'm saying? I really do. I love, I love, man. I love Shannon Sharp to death. But we all seen that coming. He started hitting for a bag on the podcast. He started having some more money than just them checks that he was getting from ESPN.
Me and you both know if you can do good in this, you can see a handsome bag. You can definitely see a handsome bag. You know what I mean?

Chapter 7: What are Sharp's views on the relationship between money and happiness?
There was rumors he was getting a $100 million bag for the pod that week that the allegations came out. He was. He was. He was. I'm sure that he was. I'm sure he was getting 100,000. Hey, listen, man, I'm sure he was getting 100,000 reasons of why to accept it for $100 million. People were coming to him, man, you're about to, man, take it. That's what you need to do. Get away from ESPN.
I'm sure he had 100,000 people around him like, man, this is going to be the bag for you. Man, that girl wasn't happy about that. Straight up. Because you know why? It was about to grow without her. Hold on, baby. You just were the bus down. No offense to her. She was just a bus down game. I mean, it sounds like up was just getting this freak on with her. There's there's nothing against the law.
People having sex, man. Like when did this when did this start to become a problem? You know, am I tripping? Wendy, like, it's almost embarrassing, right, to sit there and have a girl talk about her sexual encounters, but she'll do it for some money. Girls used to, man, when I was growing up, girls always say, you know, you can't kiss and tell. You know what I'm saying?
These girls are kissing and can't wait to tell. They can't wait to tell. Like, what? It's already in a plan. It's already been planned before she even starts messing with you, man. Crazy. You know, it's not like... I'll tell you what, man. It's not like you... can't go outside anymore or, you know, like you used to and just meet a girl and be like, she really liked me for me.
You know what I'm saying? You little frizzy-haired nigga, little glasses. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know, and you be like, man, this girl really liked me. Now you got to kind of worry about what's coming your way because of what you possess. You know what I'm saying? And what can, you know what I'm saying? So not everybody's intentions is going to be pure.
Yes, you definitely have to watch for that. You know, people love to turn people that are, you know, look good into the public eye and make them look real fucked up. You know what I mean? Make them look like shit, man, because they're like, yeah, I know people aren't used to seeing them like this. So here they're going to believe this. You got to watch who you deal with, man.
Yeah, you got to watch out, man. Well, that girl that settled with Shannon, she just announced her retirement yesterday from OnlyFans. So she must have got a bag. I'm sure she did. That was the plan all along. Let me tell you something, man, okay? Some of these girls do not give them that much of the benefit of the doubt.
They're not all attempting to grow a brain and just, oh yeah, this is what I'm gonna do. They got people around them telling them, do you know who that is that you're with? Shit, you better be trying to get your money.

Chapter 8: How does Sharp suggest setting boundaries with family and friends?
Straight up. Like, quick. Like, you got to think about that. There's people around that do that. Right. Like, you know what I'm saying? They're saying, like, hey, you know you've been kicking it when this little white girl probably don't even know what it says. She just saying, man, it's just an old black nigga. I don't know. He was just sitting at the bar and he popped at me.
No, you need to talk to him. That's whoop-de-whoop. That's Shannon Sharp. You know what I mean? So it's kind of like you got to watch how some of these chicks, man, they're made to do that shit. Like, from friends or people that just know them. I mean, old Shannon, I'll tell you what, bro. If I was you, just, hey, man, keep doing what you're doing.
Even if he wants to keep fucking with little white chicks like that, I'm not mad at him. Keep doing what you're doing. He ain't did nothing wrong. It's just a girl that got pissed off. Girls get mad every damn day and want something. Don't mean that they should get it. Just because they're saying it, you know? I'll ask you this.
How many times, how many sexual encounters do you have to have with a woman before it's not considered the R word anymore? Because he had sex with this girl over 100 times. Damn. What is it, 101, 102? When does it turn consensual of like, okay, you might have been messing with me? She had over 100 sexual encounters with Shannon Sharp. That's a lot. That's a lot.
And for it to just kind of be thrown to the rug, like, oh, well, she can still throw these allegations out. No, it just sounds like y'all just want to hear this. People are freaky. They want to hear it, too. Like, oh, what were y'all doing? It's like a turn on to them, dog. It makes them blush on the inside. Yeah. You know, they're like, man, what were you guys doing again? Like, you tell us all.
Tell the world. You know what I mean? Like, man, they obviously were fucking with each other for a little while. You know what I mean? I'm just being honest. Like how many times do you, when does it turn consensual? This man had sex with her a hundred times, 101, 120. What are we talking about here? I feel like it's way low. I feel like it's two to three. I'm with that.
I don't understand how you can go back and keep seeing your rapist. Yeah, a hundred times. I don't understand that or somebody who's sexually attacking you. I don't see that. And then these people be like, oh, well, they're very powerful people. At the end of the day, these niggas are still niggas. You can call the state police. They gonna come get them. They don't care who they is.
Oh, you say they was doing that to you? I'll bet. But I feel like people leave that in the bag. Like, I'm gonna use this against them. Don't even trip. When I can't get what I want or they're not listening to me no more, this is what I'm gonna do. And I feel like for a lot of women, what's the one thing that they have to invest the most into any situation? That's time. And I get it.
A lot of women don't want their time. You know, you can't get that back. So a lot of women get kind of bitter and feel like, well, I can at least get compensated for that. You can at least give me some money. And they'll say whatever they got to say for it. Because if you ever heard some of these chicks' truths of why they're doing this to people, it'll be astonishing.
