One of the keys is Remember where you came from? Keep that shit in the breast of your recollection and when shit departs bad and it exits sideways a lot of shit Does you’re getting booed out the fucking construct or coming through this injury or beings? Are you writing you off? “re you gonna” fucking make it you know any of that shit? You got it. You got to keep it in here The and it certainly has to It should Drive you This idea and this notion that you could be anything you want you can accomplish anything you want, right? We hear that you’ve heard that from the time we were little sons You hear that now, you’re already incredibly achieved You can win an NBA championship MVP of the organization you could become president You could become governor you can have you could be in in in in You could be an entertainment you were able to do Charles and you do Shaq you lose that you could do whatever you wishing to. You guys is a well-known fact that? The thing that has worked for me is to remember The hard times so And I’m sure you guys all have your processes.And again, I’m going to tell you what to work for me. So before A big movie “re coming” before back in the working day when I was fighting with WWE a Wrestlemania match Anything large-scale that would happen. I would always take a moment and I precisely remind myself All right. I was dislodged when I was 14. We were kicked off small island developing. We couldn’t live in Hawaii and no neighbourhood to live a Lot of shit happened then when I to come to Nashville I was arrested multiple times by the time I was 16 year olds. I got remember that if I were playing on this squad Which might you know? my talents are what’s that expression all the shit’s so I never frisked but before I lace up before I get on court before I representing these big games before I go to the Staples Center Where history says those are those are historic will Hall Sahara at the Staples Center I would remember that and it allows me then to be present in the moment and understand.Holy shit. That’s the stuff I have around me right now. This is this shit that I “ve been dreaming about” when I was a child I am here. I played for University of Miami played enormous teams Warren Sapp where Lewis there were my teammates. They were ballin Warren Sapp was playing tight terminate that time. I was starting defensive attack. They moved him over to d-line And he look back me. He’s like yo, do I’m gonna take your recognise. I said, you ain’t go my fuckin recognise He’s I’m gonna give your discern We duelled and he took my smudge They can imagine how that fucking with me cuz there goes my opportunity He went in be changed to defensive attack ignite the world on fire Well what that did it mashed me to vanquish my dreams.I had a piss-poor major year zero product No NFL no compound invite Nothing eventually went to the CFL Calgary Stampeders preparing $250 a few weeks Canadian Canadian I had to send that shit home To my to my spouse at that time I had no fund so I remember that I came cut from Canada. I had 7 bucks in my pocket And I ever tell that story. So now my product corporation 7 horses advertising enterprise 7 horses. Everything is 7 bucks I always be borne in mind that what promotions me is to keep the hard times in the breast of my recollection Because it allows me to go into these large-scale Times that I’ve worked my ass off and you guys have worked your ass off It allows me to go into these big minutes with a different perspective What it also does for me and again this just this is what works for me like I Keep my back forgive my language.My back is up against this motherfucker Every day it’s against this fucking wall. Excuse my language But it’s a begins this motherfucker because it’s what I believe in and when my back is against this motherfucker then there’s nowhere to go But that action that’s it So I feel like this could be something an creed mindset that could help you Could if you look at it that way Because you concluded it once we built it We’re successful young boys and we’re lucky boys to be we’re at oh you guys procreated it everybody in the room Nobody’s gonna do dislodged anymore Anything you got there’s no more money problems, right? You got a lot of entrusts out now I get a little bit Can I get a little bit right that happens? But when you make it For me I need this I need this So every day my back is up against this motherfucker and this is how I control Now doesn’t mean don’t smile.There’s me to laugh and joke Right joyful I’m happy. I’m a glad person But when it comes to business and when it comes to executing what’s up against this? And I gotta go that acces And I don’t give a fuck who is in front of me. They’re not gonna stop me. I feel like for me it feels seamless Because you prepared for so long, but it’s just like you guys prepping for a game.That’s the fun portion That’s where it’s like fucking is fun and parties are paying their hard-earned dollars to come see you. They’re encouraging. They’re going bananas They’re booing the shit out of you or along the road. It’s that’s fun. That’s what you live for I signify, that’s the liquor right there The prep is where the characters made and I merely don’t mean the character I dally I signify the fucking the specific characteristics in now So for me the prep is getting with the chairman coming with the producers get with the writers getting with the getting with so in essence it’s like coming with all your tutors and your different place instructs and and all the Meetings that you have to have right? So that’s the succeed you put in the key for me was Where does it start? What’s the fix? What’s the anchor so I could have all these aspirations and you guys have all these passions, which is great It’s important.I’ll play this persona. You’ll continue that persona. I’ll execute this thing and it’ll come out this summer you guys will execute this thing during the summer right what it’s time to really put in a lot more work But the key with me is just ever detecting what the fasten is and the fucking and linchpin is Getting up at 4 o’clock in the morning daily before anybody else and Grounding. My thought process is in the no one will outwork me No one I enjoy and I respect you guys Motherfuckers one that worked me I’ll start with this Two paws putting it’ll piece. The fasten for me has historically been the work in terms of the weight apartment learn So when I first started battling I was six years old going on the matteds with my papa my old person. A lot of you guys will know this Yeah, Rocky Johnson My old man was Rocky Johnson was the first black WWF tag WWWF at that time first pitch-black WWE tag team supporters were Tony Atlas back in 1983 My uncle’s were wild Samoans.I come from a long line of pro wrestlers but before the grappling segment happened I was just in the gym putting in the work at six years old rolling around on the matteds and finally when I could touch Weights at 13. That’s what I was doing But the heavines percentage for me and the gym character Has has always been has to be the fix look at the end of the day like again That’s it’s the kind of trash that I talked about at top is I have to hold on to My dad in his pickup truck came down four o’clock in the morning Pick me up at in whoo in Miami from Tampa. We lived in a little shitty apartment in Tampa He drove down in his little pick-up truck to Miami to get me when I was chipped from the CFL. I was driving up I 75 I don’t know if you guys are from Florida any of you guys if you know It’s I 75 is like peculiarly down in Florida, Alligator Alley I’ll never forget it’s four o’clock in the morning, and I thought well fuck that.I leave home like you guys left home I’m ready to tackle the world to get after it achieve my dreams and aims fucking crushed by 22 23 year olds I’m now I got to move back in with my moms and pops. I frisked on huge squads. Oh, wait a second This is not supposed to be my future. I’m supposed to be in the NFL right now I’m supposed to be making a lot of coin and behind my parents shit buying me shit taking care of my spouse But it never happened.So I attracted in my pouch. I thought well, let me see how much coin I have I opened it up. I had a 5 a 1 and reform I’m not “re kidding” and I Rounded up to 7 bucks But I recalled God ain’t this a bitch. I went 7 bucks in my pocket. Where the fucking do I going to go? What’d I do? I can’t go back to CFL coz I are you know? The degree comes where you hear that voice large-scale pass over like you’re done, right? So I heard that voice so as coach was saying man. I hold on to that shit. I’m telling you I hinder my back as Perkins’s motherfucker. We giggle we joke, we have a good time Press is always fun to do sometime. You got to make it fun That’s another thing he had to do your best to prepare press fun Who as you can but my back is still up against this motherfucker I do not forget it what that is something that facilitates me do and again it works for me is At some level you got to be fucking tired of not being number one You have to be and you got a fucking plate angry and I represent incensed now I’m cool and soothe with my approach and when I step out on my realm, which is a positioned or you know like There’s something you’re always gonna have haters and haters like well Yeah, guy, how many movies you’re gonna stimulate her how much shit are you gonna do like you do a lot of shit? I say yes Cuz my aim of course why not I could do it Yeah, I adoration what I do and is not simply that but in what world do we not work every day? It doesn’t mean it’s just like you guys in the off season.You got work every fucking day Doesn’t outcome my back is up against this thing, you are familiar with, and I and I and I started to play Angry, by the way, and and I still I still play exasperated my last parallel Brock lesner Transition and I recognise if I had to be great at something I wanted to be great in this world of Hollywood and movie making and producing and entertainment I had to commit and like you guys have to commit clearly you commit to something commit to the goal So I quietly retired two years later.I visualized what the fuck did I do in my career? Cuz my movies were not is working well I was written off I was like around 2006 2007 I was like goddamn. I left I gathered a Jim Brown I left when I was on top like number 1 in the wrestling business and I left it was a ballsy gutsy So I’m called it stupid move, but I had to commit and I had to follow it wasn’t my god And at that time I’ll share this with you guys and Will Smith is my boy And I sat down at that time with the agency I was with and I said, what do you want to accomplish? I said I want to accomplish the world.I want the world and I crave I crave Will Smith’s career But and I said and I convey this respectfully because I know he’s here at this age. See with us I want to do it bigger and more efficient? and They looked at me like I had three fucking face and they were like. Mm-hmm. Okay but I still abode focused and I still had these still throw in the hard work with my two sides and That’s it. And that’s what it comes down to with you guys. One of its most important is Remember where you came from? Keep that shit in the front of your spirit and when shit departs bad It travels sideways a lot of shit Does you’re getting booed out the fucking structure or coming through this injury or parties? Are you writing you off? Are you guys gonna fucking make it you know any of that shit? You got it. You got to keep it in now And it truly “re going to have to” It should drive you
