I'm trying not to cry. I'm just like um like I hate suffering. I've suffered
00:00:06
myself and so I hate to see anybody suffer. And so um this is my mission. This is what I'm made for. And um I'm
00:00:13
just one guy. I can't do everything, but I can do a lot. Um >> and it still brings you to tears. Why is
00:00:20
that? >> So I grew up in a tough environment. I had four different fathers. My mom, she
00:00:24
drank alcohol and took prescription drugs. We had no money, no food. And then the thing that changed my whole
00:00:29
life was a knock on the door on Thanksgiving. There was this tall guy standing there with two bags of
00:00:33
groceries and an uncooked frozen turkey. And my dad saw this man. He said, "We
00:00:37
don't take charity." And he went and slammed the door on the guy. But it
00:00:40
became a very useful and distinction for me about how he and I processed that day
00:00:44
differently because there's three decisions you make every moment of your life. And the real problem is the story
00:00:49
you have. For example, that day my dad's focus was the fact he not fed his family
00:00:53
and he was worthless. However, I took that as strangers care. And so the story is the belief you've told yourself over
00:00:59
and over cuz belief is the invisible force that controls everything in your life. And then there's the third
00:01:04
decision. What am I going to do? And so what I decided to do is someday I'm going to do this for others and end
00:01:09
suffering where I can. And so I'm going to show you how to get clear on what you
00:01:12
really want. Figure out what's been stopping you. Put the plan in place and teach you the most important thing
00:01:16
that's made me successful. >> And I don't think people fully realize
00:01:19
the significance of how many of the most influential people on planet Earth you have worked with and continue to work
00:01:24
with. What is the pattern that you noticed in those people?
