1
The way that I felt about craft and life in general was, I don't give a f* what you think, you know?
2
I don't care what you think about me.
3
I had come from an environment with very little cheerleading going on.
4
And so I created a sort of survival instinct where I would cut people out, you know, and minimize opinions.
5
And the way that I would do that is I had to believe
6
that my opinion was greater than everybody else's opinion around me
7
man we got to get to the root of what the
8
is going on here you know something wrong with you you
9
know let's get well i got arrested in georgia for fighting with a cop wound up in rehab
10
and uh didn't hear a damn thing about god spirituality personal
11
growth accountability my whole as soon as i got to rehab was let me get back to this hustle
12
so i started writing a script in rehab that's how mad
13
i was i wasn't listening to no therapy i had been therapized my whole life
14
that it felt like you want me to focus on the
15
problem well how am i gonna like how am I gonna hack this focusing on the problem thing
16
and how am I gonna find my way back to this hustle
17
so I can get back to my ego
18
because really all I cared about was my ego I didn't
19
give a about getting well you know it was all about
20
get well for you get well for the camera I have
21
experienced ego death you can't run no more bro you got
22
to let go you got to let go in full
23
and I want to get in my car
24
and I drive up to Utah and I'm in Utah for three months and while I'm in In Utah it allows me, it gives me, they take my cell phone from me.
25
And if they didn't take my cell phone from me, I was never gonna be able to deal with what I needed to deal with.
26
I had never known how to pray cause I could never cultivate silence.
27
I had no absence in my life.
28
Every unforgiving minute was full of some f*ing scroll, or some more like ego feed.
29
Constant, non -stop rotation of this, this ego thing and that ego thing and bop bop bop bop bop.
30
Just constant fulfillment of like my own personal desires and they took my phone from me.
31
And just for that reason alone, I would urge anybody to go this route if you're in a situation like mine.
32
Just to get the phone out of your pocket.
33
And what that gave me was time to really assess what had been my operating systems.
34
What had been the motivational force in my life.
35
Which was always me.
36
It was always ego.
37
It was even the smallest decision.
38
The smallest decision to even go into food.
39
Everything.
40
Everything you eat.
41
Everything was ego.
42
Everything was ego.
43
I would eat that not because it tasted good, but because it would do this or do that you know?
44
And, um, when do you become a man?
45
When you get a driver's license?
46
Like, what do we do?
47
You're 16, we give you a driver's license?
48
Okay, well, like, you get a job?
49
Like, when do you become a man?
50
You become a man when you become responsible for other people.
51
And part of that is taking accountability.
52
I grew up in a culture that told me going to war made you a man.
53
Going to prison, coming back, coming back, makes you a man.
54
Making a million dollars makes you a man, you know, and it doesn't.
55
And you don't know it till you've done all these things and realize damn I'm still a little boy.
56
Or been around people who've been there a bunch of times.
57
Also my definition of warrior has changed.
58
Me too.
59
You know, I didn't really know what that meant.
60
And really it's about bringing others back.
61
And that's my whole mission, really.
62
It's just like, dudes who've been where I've been, or something similar, just know it gets better.
63
It does.
64
It don't make no sense.
65
It doesn't make no sense.
66
It's irrational.
67
It doesn't make any sense on paper that I could have joy in abundance in my life,
68
that I could feel any kind of joy in my life after being what I've been.
69
Pain is an adhesive, bro.
70
If you've been through it, you can connect to people, period, end of story.
71
Rock bottom bottom isn't when you experience the worst moment in your life
72
that bottom is when you change It's about what you do with it once it happens.
73
So like you know I had no love in my life I had no purpose in my life.
74
My whole purpose as you know was just craft
75
It was just I'm gonna be good at this thing
76
and that's all that I have the only thing I care about in life is
77
Being a good actor and that's such a vapid shallow existence and he said welcome to AA.
78
And he said, I need you to go home and clear out, like clear the decks.
79
And I'm like, nah, man, like for me, and I don't know if you felt this way, but every woman was the one for me.
80
There was never a two.
81
If you liked me, you were the one.
82
And that had to do with my insecurity and my fear.
83
And he's like, well, look, man, I'll tell you what, you know, you can keep doing it your way or you can try some new shit because the way that you're living, you're fully, you're doomed is what he said.
84
You're doomed.
85
That was the word.
86
And I flipped to this page.
87
He made me flip to this doctor's opinion we got in our book.
88
And in the doctor's opinion, how our book starts, it mentions the word doomed.
89
And he's like, this isn't like another AA guy.
90
This is a doctor telling you you're doomed if you don't figure it out.
91
And he goes, to put it in perspective, if you went to Kaiser Permanente right now, and they sat you down and put your, you know, x -rayed you and put your x -ray up on a light board
92
and you're looking at a picture of your clavicle and the doctor said, hey man, you see that gray spot just above your chest cavity?
93
You're doomed.
94
And you wouldn't be thinking about the job
95
that you got to get to or the girl you got to hold on to
96
or where are you going to go on the, for Father's Day or what that you, immediately your whole life would get very small and the only rational response to that kind of information is, well, what do I do?
97
And, and I, I'm driving back from the beach back to where I'm living
98
and and I get out of my car and her bags are packed.
99
She's on her way out.
100
And something in me from having heard what I just heard, what feels like this is, now I can't get no lower.
101
I hear this like I can't call it.
102
And it becomes like this, the most diplomatic breakup I ever had in my life.
103
And I say, what can I do?
104
And can I get you a car?
105
And she goes, no, don't worry about it, go get well.
106
I just want to give you one more opportunity
107
if you want it just to speak about your your wife man
108
and just about what she means to you and
109
and you know her her path
110
and her relationship with all this I know she's been a
111
part of your life for a long time just just if you
112
if you feel in it just speak on her yeah well
113
I'll never be able to speak on I don't I don't
114
know nothing like this relationship I never have in my life
115
I never had even my parents even my father you know I never had what I got with her
116
which is to enter my life to be with me she
117
had to take a loss she had to like eat to
118
be with me to be with me she had to to
119
re -enter being a part of my life she had to take a hit in ways
120
that I've spoken about before and in other ways too probably you know
121
and uh what I no love to be is selfless loving action
122
and i've never known anything as loving or as selflessly
123
active as what this woman did for me in my life she showed up for me at a time
124
when i mean this is the first time i saw her we had been estranged for like years
125
because of my jealousy she went and did a movie with another actor
126
and i thought she was cheating on me
127
so then i cheated on another baby it was just a mess it all yeah weak little boy like nonsense
128
and we hadn't talked for two years
129
when all the hit I wound up at this rehab right in Utah
130
and they do some call family week
131
and every week on a Sunday everybody who's involved in the
132
program has their family show up on these Skype calls
133
and everybody will show up in the same room your mother
134
your father your brother your sister your wife your friends what us you
135
and the people know it's you the whole squad of you
136
that are in this group like 12 of us
137
and my family everyone's family pops up on the screen week
138
one no one shows up for me no one they got the calls i know they got the calls
139
but no one showed up my mother my father no one no one showed up manager friends no one showed up
140
week two same thing so i'm sitting in this room
141
and even the person who's like therapizing me she's starting to
142
feel like this she's empathizing with where i'm at everybody else
143
in the room we dude who like you know this isn't just alcoholics this is like an arsonist
144
and like child predators and all kind of wild people in this group right
145
and they got people showing up for them
146
and i don't have nobody showing up for me week two
147
week three i'm there 90 days there comes a point where
148
family week comes around i say to my therapist like i'm
149
not gonna go you know like i don't i don't want
150
to subject myself to this like i'm i'm on a path
151
and you know let me just stay here like i don't
152
want to keep reminding myself of how my situation is
153
and um and she says no i think you should show up this week
154
and I show up thinking all right my mom's gonna be on there you know my mom will be on
155
and Mia is on the screen you don't deserve
156
that kind of you know me you don't deserve
157
that kind of like like I don't deserve
158
that kind of you know I don't put I don't put her through years and years of
159
nonsense bro just like I don't have nothing to offer her
160
either you know I mean I'm in the middle of my
161
it you know I'm like two months into this program you
162
know I don't even have nothing going on I don't even
163
have no I have nothing nothing going on I'm making this list she's at the top of list
164
but I I'm not reaching out to her nothing like that and Yeah,
165
you heard her voice like she's like an angel you know what I mean she and uh
166
Everybody does that shit I'm gone you know
167
so they let her go first cuz I can't even believe
168
and they all know cuz I had no family show up for me
169
and she just she unmutes and she's like hi Shia so
170
and it's like she's prepping a movie she ain't got no time for this you know
171
but she found time and she said hi Shia
172
and we just smiled we had nothing else to say
173
but she saved my life dog like it before the kid before the job before Before God,
174
before any religion, before any of it, before laugh, before a laugh, before a laugh, before a laugh,
175
before Bo, before a phone, before anything was this woman's face and uh, there wasn't no promises made,
176
there wasn't no long conversation being had, nothing.
177
Just her presence, the ministry of presence.
178
Sometimes that's all you need to offer a person who's in a situation like that, is like, just to be present.
179
And she was present for me at a time when I didn't deserve to have nobody in my life.
180
She's a real one, man.
181
She's a real one.
182
Yeah.
183
I'll never be able to...
184
I'll never be able to.
185
It's the first time I really understood love because I didn't have nothing to give.
186
And I was sitting there thinking like, well, I don't have nothing.
187
And you're showing up for me like you're going to be tied to this shit.
188
It didn't make no fucking sense.
189
And love is irrational that way.
190
You can't rationalize real love.
191
It doesn't make any fucking sense.
192
And I had spent my whole life trying to rationalize it.
193
Yeah, she gave me hope bro, when I was really like running on fumes.
194
I wasn't running on empty, but I was running on fumes.
195
I had a sponsor in my life who was kind of, he was saying, yo, be patient, the kid will show up.
196
Miracles will show up.
197
This was another miracle.
198
Bags packed is a miracle, you know?
199
Them laughing in the car is a miracle.
200
My wife's face on the Skype call is a miracle.
201
It starts to add up where, you know, it becomes this like, it creates faith.
202
You will be father?
203
Yeah, in March.
204
And what do you think the best gift a father could give a daughter is?
205
Unwavering stability.
206
The rock of Gibraltar.
207
Unmovable.
208
Unshakeable.
209
I think of it this way.
210
I think it's true for men and women.
211
When a little kid goes to a park, and they've never been to a park before, and they see a bunch of little kids playing, and mommy and daddy are right here.
212
They go out two or three steps and they get scared
213
and they come back and they grab the hand and the hand is there
214
And then they go out a little bit further
215
and they take ten steps And then they get scared
216
and they come back and they grab for the hand and the hand is there That's a parent.
217
I'm always here.
218
No matter what I'm always here.
219
That's the gift of That I always wanted from my parents That I hope to give to my child is stability, is to be a rock an unmovable,
220
unshakable, forever love an unjudgmental hand I'm always here.
221
You come to find that most of these stories of saints in the faith were f*ed ups.
222
Full -blown f*ed ups.
223
They weren't perfect people who did perfect shit their whole lives and then wound up.
224
They had to have experienced real negative shit in their life to be able to have this other thing,
225
this salvation, this hero's journey.
226
They're explaining saints to me.
227
It's like the hero's path, you know, and I'm a writer.
228
I'm in my head.
229
You know, what is my hero's journey?
230
I'm always asking myself, well, what?
231
And I, this is sort of, and I always thought it was going to be through the craft
232
that my hero's journey was kid from the bottom came to Hollywood with no training.
233
And now, now I'm like, you know, working with these people and this, and I'm doing that.
234
And that was my hero's journey.
235
And it was so curt, it was so blunt and lazy.
236
And it wasn't like this other thing that's available and
237
so you get around these dudes and you hear about their path
238
and how these guys got there
239
and you start meeting dudes who like professional tennis players you
240
know got lost on steroids you know drugged up got completely wayward
241
and then decided to enter the order and
242
so these are dudes who know something about competitive you know
243
competitive sports they know about like ego in the way
244
that i do the only people i've ever been able to
245
feel like i'm close to in terms of the way that I deal with my craft is athletes.
246
It's sports figures.
247
And you find that a lot of sports figures are deeply insecure people.
248
You know, you get respect based on what you can do and how hard you work.
249
And sports is like that.
250
And that's a shitty way to live.
251
Because everything that comes to you is based on you and what you do.
252
And if everything in your life surrounds you and is centered on you,
253
you become a f*ing a vapid self -interested, selfish self -centered human being,
254
how could you not, the world is happening in front of you the default setting already is
255
that you're completely self -absorbed but then when you're involved in a meritocracy like working for commission basically, then it's all about your efforts,
256
your efforts dictate how your life is gonna go, yeah and that really is my purpose in life now,
257
is to like be able to express the reality of my life that you could be where I just was.
258
Now I don't need to be anything.
259
I don't need to be a certain this or a certain that to have permission to have friends
260
or a wife or or anything like I I deserve it and that's a hard thing to
261
To say that you deserve love when on paper.
262
No, you don't so I was there for 90 days
263
and in that 90 days I I made a list all these people
264
that I hurt and and I mean a bunch happened
265
but uh i came out
266
and um just hit the ground running trying to make amends
267
trying to right these wrongs this is also still a part of
268
that there's some people who don't want to talk to me you know
269
and uh and i understand that and so my purpose now is to be patient

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
