1
You said, when you come from where I come from and everybody doesn't get those breaks, that luck, you start to question, why am I successful in life?
قلت، عندما تأتي من المكان الذي أتيت منه أنا، ولا يحصل الجميع على تلك الفرص، ذلك الحظ، تبدأ في التساؤل، لماذا أنا ناجح في الحياة؟
2
Why did I go this way and everybody went that way?
3
And I just thought that that was, you know, again, extremely humble and also representative of where you grew up, how you came up, like,
4
which way did everyone go?
5
And where did that luck begin for you?
6
You know, I think coming up in New Jersey, coming up in that environment and, you know, having, you know, when you're younger, you know, you're living life, you know, you're taking it a day at a time.
7
You know, you're going to basketball practice, you're going to school, you know, you're going to church.
8
You know, for me, it was, you know, taking a lot of trips to New York City, going on auditions at a really, really young age and just figuring out what what what that is.
9
Having having parents pretty aware, you know, and very present in my life, you know, growing up, you know,
10
that was that was rare amongst my family and amongst my friend group, you know, having both parents that was there and very present and aware of my environment as well.
11
You know, what, what, you know, being told to look out for these things and make good choices, to be disciplined, to be focused on things, you know, get your school,
12
you know, all the, you know, the positives in growing up in an environment like that.
13
And, you know, hats off to my parents and to, to sacrifice so much to make sure their kids, you know, and we're safe and grew up in an environment ain't easy, making ends meet.
14
Grew up very poor, but didn't feel like it.
15
You know what I'm saying?
16
It was very, I think they did a good job at hiding those things.
17
I think as we get older, we look back, it was like, oh man, we went through that.
18
Oh, that's why we slept in the kitchen at one time with the oven open.
19
Oh, that's when we stayed at grandma's house for a couple of weeks.
20
So you get that reflection of how we kind of grew up.
21
And I think for me, always having a bigger purpose I think, or just, you know, just that optimism, you know, that I was a big dreamer as a kid.
22
And I think, you know, start to not just to focus on the just the work of it all, but since I was working such a young age,
23
that's the thing that I can kind of point to of, you know, booking auditions and getting this job and traveling to this place
24
and experiencing these things and coming back home with these experiences
25
and not having a lot of people who could relate or could, you know, I could a soundboard off of.
26
And, and I think in feeling like that, you don't want to alienate those people, you know?
27
Uh, uh, and I think, and this is all, I guess, in hindsight, you don't share these stories as much, you know, maybe you should, cause you don't want somebody to feel like inadequate or,
28
you know, not being able to have that experience that you might've had.
29
And I think, you know, that snowballs as you, as you get older and from stepping stone to stepping stone, as, as I continue to be successful at a young age,
30
you start to question, why am I being so successful?
31
And the people that look just like me
32
that are right next to me in these everyday things aren't necessarily doing that or not choosing to,
33
you know, just didn't have those options that were laid out to them.
34
And I think you start to doubt yourself for whatever reason
35
or feel guilty for the things that you may or may not have, even though, you know, my parents were people of service, you know, block parties or,
36
you know, cooking church dinners or, you know, whenever, you know, my house was the house that everybody came to at some point,
37
whether we were going to get pizza that night or dad was going to take everybody camping or going to these things.
38
Like, that was kind of my house within my neighborhood and community.
39
And so I think for me, being a person of service kind of, because, you know, this kind of comes from how I was raised raised
40
and those are the examples that I knew growing up.
41
I always felt lucky too.
42
As you become more successful and you see less people look like you
43
that are being successful in this realm
44
and you end up being the one guy
45
that looks like me that's successful or the couple guys
46
that are the usual suspects that you see in the audition room or things of that nature, you know,
47
you start to sometimes question why why why are you now
48
i can i i feel as though it was my it was my path you know it was my purpose
49
and spirituality and growing up in a household
50
that was very focused on you know you know church
51
and spiritual and meditation and and and just being aware of the world
52
that we live in you know i felt i was destined for for something not knowing what
53
that was but just so wow yeah and i mean
54
when i'm when i'm hearing
55
that it sounds like i love what you said you were like you know they they hid we were poor
56
and we didn't even see that but this idea of like you sound
57
so when i when i see you talk about your family
58
and for those of you watching you can see it on mike's face
59
but there's so much joy and there's bliss
60
and there's like uh there's like a happiness when you're looking back on
61
that time like i can see it's a positive experience
62
because of how you feel you've been loved and cared for and supported, even though the resources may not have been there or the access or opportunities.
63
And I was wondering when I was listening to you, is there a memory or an experience from your childhood that you think defines who you are today?
64
Was there a memory or a story
65
that you have in your mind of an experience you went through
66
that you think brings out maybe that service element or brings out that purposeful element?
67
And I think this bliss and this appreciation for how I grew up comes in hindsight.
68
You know, like, you know, the first time you have a moment where you're like, pick up the phone, you know, one morning, you just call your mom and be like, thank you.
69
I get it.
70
And I'm sorry.
71
I'm sorry for for being that kid at some point.
72
And I'm so sorry for not understanding.
73
I totally get what you guys are going through.
74
Sheesh.
75
I love you guys, you know?
76
Like, you have those moments when you get older, you know, that you just can't really have that perspective when you were a kid.
77
And I think, you know, I was very mischievous, you know, as well.
78
And I think there were moments when my dad disciplined me, you know, for whatever the, you know, whatever I did at that time.
79
And then my mom would have a conversation with me around the why.
80
And then being also forced or pushed
81
and nudged into a space where you had to acknowledge your siblings also you know in
82
that situation and and and the importance of family and what
83
that means you know my parents have different upbringings you know i'm saying from you know uh
84
and different family structures growing up
85
but one thing they've always provided us with is just a sense of like family over everything you know
86
and how important that is and
87
that just kind of kept the groundedness to me throughout
88
so i think just the experiences of of just family i like your point about hindsight i've definitely made
89
that call to my mom for sure like yeah i've made
90
that call to my mom we're around the same age
91
so for me it's like i've made that call
92
and i think i made it probably like 25 maybe 26 it was probably around then
93
when i finally made that call and not
94
that i didn't love my mom before that of course i did
95
but it was like
96
that honest understanding of just how hard it was to do what she did
97
because she was raising two kids she was dropping us to
98
school picking us up she was the breadwinner of the family she made us breakfast lunch
99
and dinner fresh every day like and you don't recognize
100
that as a kid you don't realize the sacrifice the hustle the
101
and and always making you feel loved on top of doing all of
102
that it's hard work you've talked to you said
103
that now you feel like you've got to a place that it's your path
104
What was that switch for you that went from like, I don't deserve this, God, like I feel out of place, I'm lucky to being like,
105
no, actually now I see it as this was meant to be my path.
106
Because I think a lot of people and a lot of our listeners will be there, like a lot of people are like, they're making moves and maybe they're first person in their family to go to college,
107
or maybe they're the first person who started up a business and is an entrepreneur, or maybe one of our listeners is trying to break generational trauma and they're the first person to spot it.
108
Yes.
109
And, but then they all live in that space.
110
Like, can I do this?
111
Like, am I the one to do this?
112
And so what was it that made that switch from like, I'm not sure I'm the guy, but oh, it is my path.
113
It's the sum of all things leading up into that point.
114
I think it's all the doubt.
115
It's the imposter syndrome.
116
It's the, the blessings that you can't really accept fully.
117
you listen to other people speak who are successful
118
or you see examples that you kind of feel connected to like man
119
that that kind of feels like me or what he just said
120
or what she just said I kind of I resonate with
121
that you know I feel like
122
that sometimes you know other people who are looking at you
123
saying no Mike this is what you have this is what you can be this is what you are Nah, nah, that can't.
124
No, that's too good.
125
No, that ain't me.
126
You know?
127
Your own presence in a situation where you have to step back and look at yourself and be like,
128
am I this guy right now?
129
Like, oh man, there's a room full of people who showed up because of something I'm doing,
130
and they're in service or in support of my idea, my thing.
131
Okay.
132
That looks and feels like I'm the guy, okay?
133
I'm in an industry where, you know, the success of your work and your art has been,
134
you know, dictated and validated by other people's opinions.
135
And whether those opinions are factual or projected on you from their own individual perspective,
136
I think it was a combination of all those things, and I've always been curious and walked towards the, how do I make myself better?
137
What are the things that I need, the tools that I need in order to improve myself, the way I think, the way, how do I maximize myself, you know?
138
So from, I think, getting a, you know, an executive coach, you know, who talks to executives all day and,
139
you know, how to create healthy conversations, the right type of conversations to have as you're building a team around you.
140
Because, you know, as you know, it's not just us.
141
You know, we have an entire team of people that surround us
142
that help us achieve our dreams and get the big idea done.
143
You know, a spiritual advisor a spiritual coach
144
that i have um who you know helps me uh do my energy work my spiritual work
145
and and and and help sift through the noise and and and find those things and i think it wasn't until
146
i had you know roles that challenged my spirit
147
and myself in a real way that that that in the weight
148
and where the attention was so loud
149
that it was you know it was deafening and it was
150
and and i couldn't you know um see clearly
151
and you know these champagne problems you know i'm saying i you know you know
152
that like you know we're blessed so but the weight is
153
so heavy you know and people sometimes think
154
and they see what we have or what you know are what we're you know what what we're doing and it's like, oh, just be grateful, you know,
155
or just, you know, what are you complaining about, you know?
156
And, you know, most people wouldn't be able to walk, you know, a block in our shoes, you know, with this stuff.
157
And I think it was, and you have moments where you resent things and you're angry at,
158
you know, the feelings that you accumulate for not being clear or not understanding, you know, why this.
159
There's a lot of whys, and you're not going to get all the answers, but you want to, you know, be able to get to a place where you're clear.
160
So to answer the question, when did I decide, when did I, like, you know, when did I feel like that?
161
Maybe two years ago, maybe a year ago.
162
You look at where your family has come from, and shit, look at your bloodline, you know.
163
You look at, you know, your community, you're like, man, there's a cycle there.
164
from generation to generation that happens when you get to yourself and you're like man
165
can i stop this can i change this i could do
166
this once you it's like once you once you know better
167
you got to almost do better once you see it you can't unsee it
168
and i refuse to ignore it i refuse to see it an opportunity
169
that i had to change things and act like it didn't exist
170
and i think that was the thing for me
171
that was like nah i gotta i gotta if that's my purpose if that's my path
172
is to just see it and i can see the pieces
173
and if i can just continue to do this or
174
if i stay down the pathway on that
175
and i i might be able to make a big difference in my nephew's life
176
or my my my future children's my future grandchildren's life i got to do
177
that because there's still been so many people that might
178
that didn't that that it wasn't the perfect storm for them to have
179
that opportunity that's been something i've always felt since having the name michael jordan
180
and understanding that there's another guy out there named michael jordan
181
that was the best ever to do something and being teased
182
and picked on about that and and and
183
and made me for a moment not wanting to play sports
184
but then it was like nah i'm actually going to make
185
sure i'm competitive i'm going to compete at least i'm going
186
to compete you're going to at least see me i'm going to be somebody that
187
it's not going to be oh his name is this it's going to be oh no
188
but he can play
189
or oh no he can oh he yeah he has something about him something
190
that is formidable that is above average that is
191
that is unique to him and
192
and i it gave me a healthy chip you know so
193
so and i
194
and for the the people who are listening who you know who do have you know
195
that doesn't feel like they can change the circumstances with the way they think
196
or they feel just hold on just endure endure you know
197
uh look at things differently challenge yourself to look at things
198
as the glass half full challenge yourself to think four steps
199
ahead think your way through it like now we have so many tools We have so much information.
200
There's a lot of misinformation out there, but there's so much information to be curious.
201
Find something that does resonate with you, even if it's not in the world that you ever thought you would be in.
202
Find something that you align with.
203
Because everybody aligns with something.
204
That's not an excuse I'm willing to take from anybody.
205
Align with something and find your positivity.
206
Find your intuition within that thing.
207
And be obsessed about it.
208
What have you been obsessed with lately?
209
Like, what would you say is the thing you're most obsessed with right now
210
or that you have been in the past couple of years that has kind of just attracted?
211
I've been obsessed with getting my team right.
212
I've been obsessed with getting the right personnel on the right brain frequency
213
and getting everybody on the same page to accomplish these things
214
that we need to go accomplish because I truly believe it's going to be better for everyone.
215
I think it's really going to make an impact, you know?
216
And so there's an obsessiveness that you got to have to over-communicate, to follow up, to be redundant,
217
to be consistent, you know, that you need.
218
And I'm obsessed about it, you know?
219
Strengthening my family, I'm obsessed over it, you know?
220
To lead by example, you know?
221
And break generational trauma and curses i'm obsessed over it um
222
and i'm obsessed over every project that i uh lend myself to
223
so this next movie that me
224
and ryan's doing i'm literally you know i'm growing all my stuff out you know i mean my hair
225
and stuff like now i'm becoming obsessed with it you know and that character and
226
it's it's a it's an addictive feeling to have a thought
227
and see it come to fruition to create something out of
228
out of you know out of an from an idea yeah um
229
and to be persistent and to see it
230
and to manifest it you know uh manifestation i just love it you know what i mean it's cool
231
so so that's something that i've been i've been really really um locked in with
232
and i think it's also something
233
that it's going to help people you know there's there's always a i don't want anything that's not multi-hyphenated.
234
I want anything that I'm involved in, it has to have layers to it.
235
You know, how do you help?
236
How do you educate?
237
What's the leave behind?
238
What blueprint am I leaving for the next generation?
239
You know, I got a nephew now, you know, that is looking up at me constantly.
240
Yes, because of height, but also because of the example, you know, and he's mimicking everything i do you're mimicking anything i can
241
say something do something like a citizen type of way oh snap he's doing it too crazy
242
so it clarifies your intention when you do things
243
because you want it to have you know purpose
244
and intention you know um so those are the things
245
and i'm obsessed with being the best version of myself
246
and that's a daily thing you know um and some days are better than others,
247
finding myself in a world where there's so many seen opinions about yourself
248
when everybody's telling you who and what you are, you know, learning how to live, you know, growing up in it, like, and it's so wild.
249
I've been doing this for 25 years straight, you know and that's a wild thing to think about
250
but man more than half of my life has been my identity was been through the work
251
that i've been doing and
252
and growing up in with you know social media what didn't
253
exist now it does at a point where i'm old enough to understand what
254
that can do so i'm obsessed with finding myself now uh after and and not having to prove anything to
255
other than myself and my family, you know?
256
But really myself.
257
And realizing that that is enough.
258
You know what I'm saying?
259
Like that, like giving your best is enough.
260
And sometimes we lose track of that, you know?
261
And yeah, so for anybody out there, you know, you're enough, man.
262
How have you been able to learn how to sense or understand
263
whether someone's on that same brainwave brainwave and as you said
264
or brain energy as you are and and has
265
that same value set that you have i think it's a a lot of conversations
266
and and and sometimes trial and error uh i think my in my intuition
267
and my gut is is the first you know litmus test
268
is the first kind of line of defense you know
269
that i that i have of like energy's vibe you know i'm saying like okay
270
that that that
271
that you feel on par how you know how you answer a question what are the things
272
that you're saying you know um are you speaking from ego
273
are you speaking about you know what what is the what
274
is the thing you know you you know we're used to we meet
275
so many people we have to use quick judgments
276
and who gets our time you know um who do you open up to who do you not
277
and i think
278
when it comes to building into a team especially nowadays you're
279
coming into something that's that's well oiled yeah you're coming into a machine already
280
so you have to fit not just with me but you have to kind kind of fit with everybody.
281
You know, you have to know how to communicate the things you need to know how to communicate to.
282
You have to, the ego is something
283
that can get in a lot of people's way when joining a team and joining something that's already really established.
284
And I think, I think coming to a place of learning and listening is really important and not taking things personally.
285
I think, I think, and then it's something to the people that's already been in the team to understand
286
that there's going to be additions and there is a process of, there's an onboarding, There's a welcome, there's a thing that you have to,
287
to bring people into the fold in a way to get the best out of them.
288
So I think there's been, there's been those learning things along the way.
289
That's really, that really helped me identify people who, um, that fit and work well within the circle, you know?
290
Um, and, and, uh, yeah, I think that's been my, my kind of process thus far.
291
Um, and then, yeah, I always want to create an environment where people want to be.
292
Yeah.
293
You know, you're not here for a check.
294
Yeah.
295
You're here because you believe in what we're doing and what we want to do.
296
And I'm pretty transparent about those things, you know, so.
297
So I think I think just being extremely transparent and forward with those things and and and know that there's nothing personal.
298
This isn't it.
299
You know, like I'm know, like I'm the best, I'm the guy that's always going to give you a great recommendation.
300
You know what I mean?
301
Like I want people to win.
302
At the end of the day, I want people to win.
303
And seeing somebody in their strengths, you know, and being like, okay, I can use that.
304
This would be helpful in this way.
305
And if that works out, it works out.
306
And if not, then man, I want to see you do well.
307
Yeah, I love that.
308
Yeah, we I remember years ago I was listening to Eric Schmidt who is the CEO of Google for a bit.
309
Yeah.
310
And he was talking about how they were looking for smart creatives
311
and I love that that they had two words that kind of summed up what they look for.
312
They look for people who are smart creatives and for me it became humble champions.
313
I was like, I want humble winners.
314
I want I want the people who can who want to win
315
and have that ambition but are able to put their ego aside
316
because then we're going to speed up getting there because the thing that slows you down from winning is ego.
317
But like the thing that stops you from passing the ball is ego or, you know, bowing out and saying it's your turn is ego.
318
And so but but you still have to have that champion mindset because it isn't just about, oh, yeah, no, no, no. You do your thing.
319
Like and that was a big thing.
320
And then the other thing that worked for me was I was like, I need to work with people that I could go to breakfast, lunch or dinner with if we didn't work together.
321
Yes, man.
322
Do I actually want to go to breakfast, lunch and dinner with this person?
323
Because I probably will be when I'm traveling or on the road.
324
that means I like spending time with them, which means I'm happy to coach them.
325
And I'm happy to learn from them.
326
Exactly.
327
Whereas if I don't want to, and initially I was like that.
328
I used to just hire people who were great at what they did.
329
We didn't really have chemistry.
330
Like we didn't, we couldn't hang out.
331
And that wasn't because they were wrong.
332
It was also because I wasn't aware.
333
Gotcha.
334
And then of course, yeah, the mission, the purpose is, I mean, that's core and central.
335
Because even for you, I mean, you're spending time from your family with, you know, your team becomes your extended family they are your family.
336
You're eating, like I said, breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
337
You know, like there's a part of you that, you know, it has to feel like I'm getting a little bit of my family here.
338
And if it's not that, you know, it's really hard for me, you know?
339
And obviously like, you know, you have a bigger company and there's employees and you're not going to be as personal with everybody within the company.
340
You know, you're not having breakfast, lunch, lunch, and dinner with everybody.
341
But there's a feeling of, you know, So I don't mind on a Sunday, everybody at my house watching the game,
342
spending time, because that's when not the nine to five time to be creative
343
or the nine to five time to do the job.
344
That's the that's the extra mile.
345
That's the oh, I had this idea and I was just thinking, oh, we're looking at something together and this would be great.
346
The best ideas sometimes come from those just hangout moments
347
and those moments where you're just spending time with people that you work with.
348
So, yeah, I think that, yeah, you're right.
349
That's really important.
350
Yeah, for sure.
351
Before the obsession point that came up, which was fascinating, I'm glad I asked you that and you went into it.
352
You're talking about, like, you know, you live in an industry and you talked about social media where people have an opinion of you.
353
People, even an opinion is that people have a lens because they've seen you in a particular light.
354
and I was wondering like what do you think something
355
that people get right about you and what's something
356
that people sometimes get wrong about you like what do you feel like
357
when it comes to
358
that like I'll tell you mine like I feel like for me a lot of people think
359
that I get like often because of what I teach
360
and what I'm sharing
361
and what I'm guiding it's like oh well Jay must get everything perfect all the time
362
and like you know he's like super deep
363
and like always just saying profound things and and that's not true obviously
364
because as much as that is who I am and
365
that is my heart i'm not always like
366
that like i have i have bad days i have bad
367
moods i have off days i have i have days
368
when i'm not feeling that way right and so that's that's something
369
that people get wrong about me sometimes in that perception because
370
but i'm dedicated to this work i'm obsessed with it i'm obsessed with being better
371
but that doesn't remove me from having flaws and weaknesses and and
372
so yeah yeah you should do a blooper reel you should
373
do a blooper outtake reel of those moments She has your team, catch you in these little moments, and you should put one out.
374
That'll be fun.
375
That'll be fun.
376
That'll be fun.
377
I like that.
378
I like that.
379
That'll be a good one.
380
I like that.
381
I think for me, it's like, I think I've intentionally stayed out the way
382
so much where I'm not giving anybody anything to go off of other than what I want you to know.
383
You know, I think that's been it for a long time.
384
I've always had the approach of, like, not speaking on things and not giving them life.
385
You know, there's...
386
There's going to be perspectives and there's things about you that just aren't true.
387
Do you care to correct somebody or not?
388
Because most of the time, people's minds are made up no matter what you say.
389
It is what it's going to be.
390
Stay out the comment section.
391
You get some great entertainment in there, but then you can get a lot of stuff
392
that is just people who want to project the thing that's going to get the most attention.
393
And the issue that I have with a lot of that is, they can be completely false.
394
And we have an industry of, we were talking earlier, the lack of journalism, the skill of that, that will run with those things,
395
knowing that there is no basis to them.
396
But now that's a narrative that's attached to you, that you have to be strong enough and strong-minded enough to ignore knowing it's not true,
397
or this human nature feeling of wanting to know no, that's not true.
398
I want people to know this about me.
399
And I've always walked on that line of, you know, not caring, trying not to care,
400
and knowing that I'm enough, and knowing my truth, and the people who know me know me.
401
You know, I am about my community and my people, you know, wholeheartedly.
402
And a lot of the choices that I make and the things
403
that I want to do and be a part of is in service of that bigger picture, you know, of helping that, you know, my community in a big way.
404
So I think the biggest thing sometimes if they ever feel like
405
that they're not my top priority is maybe one of the biggest misconceptions.
406
You know, the love I have for my community, regardless of people's approach, I think everybody has a different strategy
407
and approach to how they affect
408
and make change everybody it doesn't all look the same um
409
and because it may not be typical or the average voice
410
because the package is different and the craft and my field is different
411
so i have a different set of boundaries that exist in my lane that I maneuver without in and out of.
412
Like I love playing chess.
413
I love, I love, I love strategy.
414
I love, I love reverse engineering and building things.
415
So I think, I think that's one of the biggest things.
416
And, you know, sometimes ignorance and a laugh or a joke or a like or a thing, we've, we've
417
encouraged the behavior of negativity and things and loudest is all is the thing and and
418
and that's just not what that's not what I'm into yeah
419
I'm into the love of things I'm into the the humanity
420
and bringing people together the best way and
421
but also I'm human yeah no I appreciate
422
that I mean I also think we've put a false pressure
423
on the definition of authenticity meaning you share everything with everyone
424
and i'm not sure i vibe with that definition
425
because i think authenticity by nature is you sharing what you
426
feel comfortable with each person like that's what it means to be authentic
427
and you could argue
428
that authentic just means being however you want to be in any given situation and
429
so i think there has become a false pressure of oh
430
you got to show you're authentic by showing every part of yourself
431
and i don't know if that
432
that triggers anything for you is like what's the definition of authenticity for you
433
or for me that's what it is
434
but what is it for you i think it's um
435
but then in hindsight there's a there's a piece of it
436
that not even just to go back
437
but there's there's also like maybe that's my insecurity framing what the loudness of the things
438
that I'm most sensitive of is this noise somehow yeah it
439
triggers us for a reason it you know I'm saying some stuff
440
that you just go oh yeah yeah whatever
441
but it's like man like why does that but why does
442
that bother me so much yeah like there's something there's something about
443
that that because I know what
444
that does in the bigger like I'm always thinking bigger picture it's very rarely that I really focus on the thing.
445
It's always about what's the cause of that in a bigger conversation, you know?
446
The authenticity to me is being able to sleep at night,
447
being able to go talk to my mom and knowing that the people that know me, every fiber of my being,
448
my intention, knows my heart through and through, that they see the same person.
449
They're able to connect with the same energy and the same vibe and the same spirit.
450
My energy has never changed.
451
You know, I think being authentic to that frequency is super important to me.
452
No matter where I go, no matter how I evolve and have to mature and grow up, I want my energy to always feel the same.
453
That's why when you meet certain people and it's been years
454
that go by and you pick right back up where you left off.
455
It feels like no time is lost.
456
The energy is never, it's always the same.
457
And I love when people I haven't seen in a long time or come at me like, man, whoa, it feels, you know, it's the same.
458
And that just lets me know that I'm not losing myself.
459
I'm not losing track of, you know, who I am and where I come from.
460
And I am always gonna be an agent of change, Trojan horse or not, you know what I'm saying?
461
And yeah, and continue to lead by example.
462
You know, I know the path that I'm on isn't easy.
463
Sometimes it may look easy, you know, for the successes or whatever,
464
but it's behind closed doors, I'm doing the work.
465
So the future generations have it a little bit easier or have a little bit more tools to use.
466
And they can ask for certain things that won't be like, what?
467
It'd be almost standard for them, you know.
468
And, you know, from my vantage point,
469
I'm able to see a lot of the roadblocks that exist within systems,
470
you know, and paperwork. and precedence.
471
I've been chipping away at those where I can in places.
472
And there's so many, look, I say I a lot in this interview.
473
There's so many people out there that are doing that type of work, you know, that exist, men and women in these places that are breaking down door ears,
474
that are chipping away.
475
It's like Shawshank Redemption, you know, rock at a time, gravel at a time, you know.
476
Eventually, that hole's going to be open, you know what I'm saying?
477
Eventually, it's going to be open but just chipping away.
478
And unfortunately, everybody can't be the loudest one in the room.
479
You know, gotta be.
480
Sometimes you gotta be the quiet guy in the room.
481
Gotta listen and look and pay attention and move how you need to move.
482
The chess pieces, they have different rules and different movements for a reason.
483
You know, and they're on the board in different places for a reason.
484
And I know my place on the board.
485
And I think that's what it comes down to, right?
486
It's like, I appreciate you bringing out that point around how things
487
that trigger us give us somewhere to focus on within ourselves. For sure.
488
I feel like that too.
489
Like, I'm like, there's certain things that just don't phase me at all.
490
And I can look like the most detached guy and like, I'm bulletproof.
491
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
492
And there's something that gets through that vest.
493
It's just like...
494
And you know it's because there's a part of it that feels true.
495
And there's a part of you that you've allowed for it to feel true.
496
Because it could be that you are, there's a part of your self-esteem you haven't worked on.
497
There's something you took from your childhood and made true for you.
498
And now when someone else says it and you didn't even know where it came from.
499
But, you know, I was talking to a friend the other day
500
and we were talking about how one of his mentors was letting him down
501
and we discovered in
502
that i've been friends with this guy for like 20 years we're best mates
503
and it was like 20 years later we figured out
504
that he'd made his mentor his father figure okay
505
and he didn't really put two and two together until just now
506
and neither did i for him
507
and he was like wait a minute no wonder i'm feeling
508
so much pain with this mentor of mine
509
because i'd made him a father figure and gone through
510
that feeling of he's superman
511
and now realizing he's not even though though i'm a 40 year old man for him
512
and so it's just so interesting how the stuff
513
that gets under our skin yeah it can just be hidden there
514
and it gets stale and stuck and and then you don't look at it
515
because you're like oh no no it's nothing it's nothing
516
but at one point
517
when you feel safe enough you have to kind of like look under the hood
518
and go you know why is that there
519
but coming on to the point you were just making around paving the way for others
520
and setting an example and the responsibility that comes with
521
and like you said there's so many people doing
522
that i feel like how would you define your current purpose like how do you define with everything you're doing
523
because you talked about purpose being a big thing for you
524
and you talk about the mission of your company like what is the purpose of
525
that work which doors are you trying to open
526
which paperwork you're trying to shift what systems are you trying to affect i think i have my purpose right now
527
yeah that's what i mean yeah you know i think i
528
have a chapter 25 years acting um you know producing you
529
know being in front of the camera being talent learning
530
so much about the world about myself about the industry you
531
know i think being a representative from my community in a way that places
532
that a black actor hasn't gone you know um obviously you have the greats you have the Wills and the Denzels, you know what I'm saying, that I look up to in a big way that,
533
you know, that through their talent, the business and the craft has extended to a new height.
534
So they've opened up doors for me that I didn't even know was possible.
535
Now it's like, oh, wow, now we have this and that.
536
Now I could do that and do that.
537
So they've kicked the door down in a way that's like, you know, internally grateful.
538
So like leading by example is a big purpose, you know, for people to be able to see it
539
because it was big for me to see it and think that I can do it too.
540
So there's that part of it.
541
There's the business side of things that I've got an opportunity to learn from investing your money.
542
You know, what do you do with the savings and the things that you do have?
543
I'm a big sports guy.
544
You know, I've always wanted to, you know, own a team.
545
I'm competitive.
546
I wanted to be involved in that environment, that energy, you know, of sports.
547
And I found a football team, you know, in Bournemouth.
548
and great part.
549
Soccer, as in football in my world.
550
Yeah, football your world.
551
Football in my world, yeah, yeah, yeah.
552
I've literally had to like, you know, bite my, I cannot say soccer anymore.
553
No, it's football.
554
It's football.
555
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
556
And great, great partner, you know, Bill Foley, he owns the Las Vegas Golden Knights
557
and really trying to turn that program around and just amplify it in a big way, but learning, you know, how to invest in those things.
558
You know, oh, there's gonna be a new stadium oh this opportunity to invest
559
in real estate oh wow now you invest in real estate
560
and something that's going to be around for you know however many year lease
561
and this and that okay cool i could take that
562
and oh wow uh investing in you know started a jv
563
for you know um underneath an umbrella company to have your own product
564
and then from there you can create another jv oh you can invest capital
565
or you can have a venture for oh oh snap okay
566
wow this is a whole other game this is a whole other nuance of acquisitions
567
and investment and capital that i never even knew exist i'm used to you know w9 forms
568
and taxes you know like you know what i'm saying on
569
that you know on on the talent side there's a whole other game to be played um
570
and and taking that information just the information that that exists and what
571
that would do to you know to to the next generation you know knowing what's available to him knowing
572
that there's other ways to maximize my my brand you know
573
your brand um creating things ownership of things um as streamers
574
and studios and there's there's so many other platforms
575
that you know people are content crazy you know podcasts you
576
know it's become a business as well you know a new you know a new venture that
577
that people would be able to monetize their own their own
578
following their own their own likeness in a real way retirement what does
579
that look like really you know do you know really a
580
will well we're leaving a will behind like what like i mean no i mean there's things
581
that you just don't get taught you know there's nobody you know
582
so so i've stumbled on it upon it these things within my and my intuition and my partnerships and my relationships.
583
But again, it goes back to like the why me, this one guy that has gotten access to all these things.
584
And my man over here, my guy over there, you guys would never know about none of these things
585
because of whatever your life path has taken you has not been in these areas
586
or nobody's had the opportunity to say those things to you.
587
So I put that on me as a purpose to be able to give
588
that information in a real way real way
589
and identify the you know people that are hungry enough
590
and you know that want it you know
591
that want it they got to want it
592
and they got to be then come on let's go figure
593
it out all right let me let me let me figure
594
out how to help set you up with the right people
595
so you got the right conversations you know
596
and then you also got to be careful who you help
597
too you know you can't you know you want to help everybody
598
but you can't help everybody um
599
but you can leave a blueprint for everyone you know sometimes that's all a person should need sometimes is seeing it
600
and being in in the thought then you got to leave
601
it on the person to do their their part of the work to lift
602
that part of the weight to put on that burden to go do that for themselves their family
603
their their their people within their their circle so yeah like is there a lesson that you learned recently that you're like, I wish I learned this one earlier.
604
I think being unapologetically honest with what you want.
605
And that goes across the board.
606
I was trying to think of something that kind of crossed the board.
607
If you can communicate your truth and not worry so much about how somebody's going to react to what you say,
608
because a lot of times the fear of how somebody's going to react
609
to what you really want to say is what stops you from saying it sometimes.
610
And you find another way or you put it off or you don't say it.
611
And then maybe the situation doesn't change and you get frustrated
612
and upset about why this thing doesn't change
613
because you kind of maybe might not have said it the way you wanted to say it.
614
You know, and I think there's a, you know, a way to be unapologetically and still be respectful and speak your truth.
615
If I think I would have done that earlier.
616
I would have been further along in relationships
617
that I have with people I care about and and
618
and not intimately I mean I mean I mean across the
619
board like work relationships business family female friends you know whatever
620
it may have been I think being honest with with with where you stand
621
and how you feel it's really giving another person an option an opportunity to be as honest with you.
622
And whatever your fear of that is, of that outcome, is never really as big as what you make it up to be.
623
You know, it's really not that.
624
So I would say maybe just being honest and living with the results, you know?
625
And tomorrow is not promised to anyone.
626
But time will move on.
627
You know, you will move past it.

القواعد في هذا الفيديو
أكثر التراكيب التي يستخدمها المتحدث، مع العبارات نفسها من الفيديو:
| التركيب | في الفيديو |
|---|---|
| المضارع التام المستمر have/has been + -ing — حدث بدأ سابقًا وما زال مستمرًا | I've been doing · I've been chipping |
| المضارع التام have/has + اسم المفعول — حدث ماضٍ ما زال له أثر الآن | you've been loved · they've always provided · i've definitely made |
| المبني للمجهول be + اسم المفعول — التركيز على ما يحدث لا على من يفعله | being told · were laid · was raised |
| جمل الوصل who / which + جملة — معلومة إضافية عن شخص أو شيء | people who could · person who started · people who are |
نطق يحتاج إلى انتباه
يستخدم المتحدث 234 من الصيغ المختصرة، مثل I'm, you're, I've. انطقها بصيغتها القصيرة كما تسمعها.
- أصوات “th”: authenticity /ɑθɛnˈtɪsɪti/, authentic /ɔˈθɛn.tɪk/, pathway /ˈpæθˌweɪ/, strengthen /ˈstɹɛŋ(k)θən/, underneath /ˌʌndɚˈniθ/
- أصوات “sh” و“zh”: intuition /ˌɪn.tjuːˈɪʃ.ən/, audition /ɑˈdɪʃən/, accomplish /əˈkɑm.plɪʃ/, intentionally /ɪnˈtɛn(t)ʃənəli/, obsession /əbˈsɛʃən/
- الكلمات الطويلة — انتبه لموضع النبر: authenticity /ɑθɛnˈtɪsɪti/, intuition /ˌɪn.tjuːˈɪʃ.ən/, internally /ɪnˈtɜːnəli/, intentionally /ɪnˈtɛn(t)ʃənəli/, inadequate /ɪnˈædəkwɪt/
أصوات يجدها متحدثو العربية صعبة:
- /p/ — ليس /b/: انطقه مع نفخة هواء: blooper /ˈblu.pɚ/, blueprint /ˈbluːˌpɹɪnt/, paperwork /ˈpeɪ.pɚˌwɝk/, transparent /tɹænsˈpæɹənt/, accomplish /əˈkɑm.plɪʃ/
- /v/ — ليس /f/: مع اهتزاز الأوتار الصوتية: vibe /vaɪb/, vest /vɛst/, evolve /ɪˈvɑlv/, advisor /ædˈvaɪ.zə(ɹ)/, oven /ˈʌ.vn̩/

كيف تتدرب بهذا الفيديو
- استمع إلى الفيديو كاملًا مرة واحدة دون أن تتكلم، ودوّن الكلمات التي لا تعرفها.
- ابدأ بسرعة 0.75×، وردّد جملة جملة، ثم عُد إلى السرعة العادية عندما يصبح الأمر سهلًا.
- سجّل صوتك وقارنه بالأصل، مع الانتباه إلى كلمات مثل intuition, audition, humble.
ما هي تقنية التظليل الصوتي؟
التظليل الصوتي (Shadowing) تقنية تعلم لغة مدعومة علمياً، طُورت أصلاً لتدريب المترجمين الفوريين المحترفين. الطريقة بسيطة لكنها قوية: تستمع لصوت إنجليزي أصلي وتكرره فوراً بصوت عالٍ — كظل يتبع المتحدث بتأخير 1-2 ثانية. تُظهر الأبحاث تحسناً كبيراً في دقة النطق والتنغيم والإيقاع وربط الأصوات والاستماع والطلاقة.
