00:00:00
just broke my heart. The story about
00:00:01
Liam.
00:00:02
>> Yeah, Liam. That was in my shed and I
00:00:03
remember I was showing Liam, what do you
00:00:05
think of your haircut, bro? As soon as
00:00:06
his eyes engaged with his haircut. He
00:00:10
just started crying and I asked him,
00:00:11
"Are you all right, bro?" And he said,
00:00:13
"Yeah, I just I planned for this haircut
00:00:16
to be my last haircut." And I said,
00:00:17
"What do you mean?" He said, "Well, this
00:00:19
was the haircut for my funeral. I wanted
00:00:20
to look good in my casket because I
00:00:23
wanted to take my own life. I want to
00:00:24
take my own life." And I remember I just
00:00:25
put my mirror down and just grabbed him,
00:00:27
hugged him and just cried with him. You
00:00:29
know, after he wiped his eyes, got
00:00:31
himself together. He, you know, stood at
00:00:32
my barber shed and he turned around and
00:00:34
said, "Thank you so much for seeing me
00:00:35
tonight." And I knew he wasn't talking
00:00:37
about fitting him in for a haircut. It
00:00:38
was, "Thank you for seeing me." Like
00:00:40
really seeing him beyond the facade,
00:00:42
beyond the mask, and just connecting
00:00:43
with him. That was probably one of the
00:00:45
first moments in my career where I
00:00:46
thought, man, I am on to something
