Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast. Okay, so the other day I was on YouTube and I was watching an episode of one of my personal favorite podcasts on YouTube, which is Club Shay Shay, and he had Terry Crews on. I freaking love Terry Crews. I would tell you all about his resume right now, but it is so long. We'll get to that in just a second. But there was this moment in the interview, oh my gosh, Terry Crews was telling this story. about a question that he asked himself at one of the lowest moments of his life when he was a janitor sweeping a floor. And this question changed his life. And then I found another video of one of my favorite human beings of all time, Viola Davis, talking about a question that you need to ask yourself every day of your life. And so that's what you and I are going to dig into today. Three questions that you need to ask yourself that determine who you are, what you're made of, and what actually matters to you. Hey, it's your friend Mel.
I'm so excited for our conversation today because I have three questions that I am going to share with you. I discovered them one afternoon and I was going down a rabbit hole on YouTube watching one of my favorite podcasts, which is Club Shay Shay. We're going to get into that in just a minute. But first, I want to tell you, I love spending time with you. Thank you for tuning in today. If you're brand new to the Mel Robbins podcast, I want to personally welcome you to the family. You've tuned into an amazing, amazing episode. And thank you for taking the time to listen to something that could truly help you be happier and help you create a better life. And today, I'm going to share three questions that I learned about from other people.
people who have accomplished extraordinary things in their lives, in their work. And we are going to use these questions as a way for you to tap into and unearth your power and your potential and your greatest self. And these are questions that determine who you really are. Don't you want to know what these questions are? Of course you do. And that brings me to the very first question that you're going to ask yourself. that determines who you really are. And this, I gotta give all the credit to none other than Terry Crews. Just in case you have no idea who this man is, he is a world famous actor, TV host, sitcom star, comedian, artist, best-selling author, children's book illustrator, and if that's not enough,
He has been named People's Sexiest Man of the Year three times in a row. His career in acting spans for decades. Like this man is unstoppable. And so here he is being interviewed on Club Shay Shay by none other than Shannon Sharp, who's an ESPN commentator and one of the most popular podcast hosts on the planet. I'm going to link to that interview in the show notes. You go watch the entire two hours, then you go subscribe to that YouTube channel. He is the best. I just love his interviews. And so I'm leaning in. I'm watching this interview that he's doing with Terry Crews. And so Terry Crews kind of starts the interview with the background. And like me, Terry is from Michigan. I'm from the western side of the state, Muskegon. Terry grew up in Flint, Michigan.
And he talks about how even when he was a kid, he just had this huge passion for art. And art, believe it or not, I don't know if you know this, art is what earned him a scholarship to Western Michigan University. And when he got there, he walked on to the football team. Now, Terry admits in this interview, and he's admitted this in past interviews that I've watched with him, that he never really liked football. Football was just a way out of Flint, Michigan. And he admits, and I love this about him, he admits that even when he was in football, he didn't really apply himself as much as he knew deep in his heart that he could. And you're going to hear him talk about this in just a minute, that he says to Shannon, like, you were a superstar in the NFL. I didn't really like it. In fact, I didn't fully dedicate myself to the NFL. And I can admit that to myself. And so they kind of talk a little bit about the background there.
