I Got one question to ask you
Starting point is 00:01:04 Did you do this thing alone? I've trained 99% of my life alone. No one patted me on the back. I did all of the work alone. Wolves don't lose sleep over the opinions of a lesser species. Be alone. Go to that dark space. You may not want to fight that battle, but you need to. A beast is someone who can go through hell and be grateful that their legs are working. What are you?
Starting point is 00:01:40 Are you a sheep or are you a wolf? Are you a sheep or are you a wolf? When you train alone, I can take myself to such a level of real, real passion and purpose. Nobody's gonna feed us. You gotta feed yourself. The feeling I get is something I can't even explain. I don't need anyone. It's on you. You gotta want it as bad as you want to breathe. Success starts with you.
Starting point is 00:02:12 It's all on you. If you want to be strong, you gotta learn to fight alone. Yes, you're tired. Yes, your mind is saying give up. Yes, it's saying quit. But you cannot quit because you realize you have not reached the goal yet Day in and day out you got to keep on working and if you get knocked down, so what? Rise up And get up Nobody's going to believe in you until you've already done Nobody's gonna come and celebrate with you until you've already done it. Nobody's going to come and celebrate with you until you've already done it.
Starting point is 00:02:46 Which means you're going to have to work for a long time by yourself with no applause, with no awards. No one's going to believe in you in the beginning. Nor should they. Be okay with it. If I have to do it alone, I will. Start alone, but get started. Can we unlock the power of nature to tackle microplastics? At the University of British
Starting point is 00:03:15 Columbia, we believe we can. Dr. Orlando Rojasin team at the Bioproducts Institute are finding cleaner ways to clean microplastics from our drinking water, using filters made of natural, renewable materials. At UBC, our researchers are answering today's most pressing questions.

So many people love to have the opportunity to find the easy way out
Starting point is 00:04:04 and celebrate something that they never really worked hard to get. It gives you an opportunity to appreciate the challenges more, the letdowns, the failures. It gives you more ammunition so when you do eventually get to where you want to be, just in case that moment comes and you get knocked back down You understand what it feels like and you know, you're not gonna stay down for very long because you know what that ground feels like This life is relentless You better keep coming back from all your failures all your doubts all your shit
Starting point is 00:04:42 You better keep fighting keep getting up never lay down that's one thing we should all agree on if you've been broken once you know how that feels that means try and break me again one thing in life suffering has no expiration date it don don't give a f*** if you're black, white, poor, rich. Where you come from, how you were raised. It will keep coming after you. Stay home. It hurts when we lift these weights and we're trying to accomplish a goal. It hurts. It's painful. It's daunting. It's cumbersome. I don't want to do it. I'm sweating, I'm bleeding, I'm crying, I'm suffering. But after I've suffered, there is a reward.
Starting point is 00:05:33 See, we spend too much time thinking about how bad it hurts instead of how good the future will be after the pain. And so after the blood, after the sweat, after the tears, after I've cried, all of them gonna cry. I want to use the pain to my advantage. At what age should you have everything together? For us normal people, it takes time. Because not only do you have to mature and grow, there's things in life that if you have a big enough dream, you're not the person you need to be right now to fulfill that
Starting point is 00:06:15 dream. Now you keep moving towards it. You keep doing what needs to be done. But the same time you realize that you yourself are gaining in knowledge and in experience and in personal growth. Do you still struggle with all of the shit that you talk about? Oh my God. Like all of it?
Starting point is 00:06:38 Yes, that's why I'm so fucking relatable. I do not have this stuff figured out. I am shoulder to shoulder with everybody. They look and see and then are quick to adjudge your ability, but they weren't there. They weren't there through the struggle. They weren't there through the sleepless nights. They weren't there through the pain. They weren't there through the trauma.
Starting point is 00:07:02 They weren't there through the tears. They weren't there to pick you up. You did that! So what gives them the right? What gives them the right to judge you? They don't know your ability, my friend. They don't know what you're capable of. They don't know what you can do. So you find a way to push through. You find a way to keep going because nobody can tell you anything When you're the one who dragged yourself out the dark when you're the one who dragged itself back into the light my friend They have no business in your business So you keep going We all gonna go through it y We all have to go through it.
Starting point is 00:07:45 Including myself. I'm gonna tell you something. When you are doing everything in your power to be the best make up of yourself it's always gonna be an adversary that's gonna try to take that away from you. Now the best way you can overcome this is having the faith. Now it doesn't matter what you believe in as long as it's something that's positive that's going to get you through it. Imagine if you could use pain as a fuel. Imagine if you could
Starting point is 00:08:17 use the pain as a passport. Imagine if you could use the pain to push you, to condition you, to prepare you for the stages in the rooms You've got to walk into with the tables You've got to sit at and the stages you have to stand on what if the pain can make you better? What if the pain could be a muscle what if the pain can cause you to reach higher to? To run faster what if the pain could help you? What if all pain isn't hurt, but it's help? I'm sick right now my friends.
Starting point is 00:08:49 But I can't stop the grind. In a world where everybody is so comfortable and brave people, why don't you be the one to get on top of it? Why don't you be the one to take on the challenge? Why don't you be the one to never give up? Why don't you be the one to take on the talent? Why don't you be the one to never give up? Why don't you be the one to never stop? Why don't you be the one to never give up? like premium Blackjack Pro, the dazzling MGM Grand Emerald Knights, or try to score in Gretzky Gold

The thing of dreams, what you see in the movies can become your reality when you work for it.
Starting point is 00:09:59 It's the deposits and the contributions that we make behind the scenes where nobody can see it. It's the days and the minutes and the moments and the hours and the reps that you put in. It's the meals that you missed. It's the times that you lost sleep. And people may have thought you were losing your mind because you logged out of social media for months at a time to build something.
Starting point is 00:10:37 You paused on hanging out with the boys or the girls so you could manifest it, so you can see it finally. I've come to the resolve that every table that I sit at, every room that I walk in, every stage that I stand on, every life that I enter, the question I want to ask myself and the question that I want to ask you is did things get better because you were there it is what we do in secret it is what we do in silence it is how we work on ourselves and condition ourselves when nobody can see it that will determine how we execute in public.
Starting point is 00:11:26 And I'm just wondering if there's anybody listening to me out there that has come to the resolve that now is the time to become the person you know you've been destined to be. Most of us are not okay with silence. We gotta talk, we gotta hear TV, we gotta listen to the radio, we gotta watch social media. It's just a constant, wrapped in this world of distraction and noise.
Starting point is 00:11:54 We never get to the place of manifestation. Learn how to do this thing without talking about it. Multitasking is not for most people. Being a jack of all trades is not something to be proud of. It's not a badge of honor. That you will have a desire and hunger to master something to work smart and not just hard. Release what God has given you.
Starting point is 00:12:21 Master one thing at a time. Everything that is within us, we give to an idea. Master one thing at a time. Everything that is within us, we give to an idea. When we can get along with ourselves, we can execute relentlessly. Because whatever it is that's been fighting your bloodline, whatever it is that's been running through your family, I pray that your testimony is that it ran in your family until it ran into you. And the moment that it ran into you, it got a rude awakening. We can be steady
Starting point is 00:12:53 and persistent under pressure. We won't buckle or grow fatigued if we can understand our in our design and how to faithfully fulfill the assignment that is on our life. You gonna do this? Okay, fine. That's all I needed. That's all I needed for him to do that. And it became personal with me. For me, anger was good. Anger was good because it was motivating.
Starting point is 00:13:22 The more I could create an enemy, the more I wanted to go and kill those guys. I've been listening to them laugh my whole career. An Irish man win a fight in the UFC? Hell no, laugh, laugh's all around. Hell no, he's all talk, he's all hype, he's a joke. The sound of laughter and the sound of doubt motivates me. I saw you celebrate my losses
Starting point is 00:13:42 like I wasn't gonna win again. You gotta wanna be successful so bad that you forget to eat. That's how bad you gotta wanna be. I'm just wondering if you are bold enough, daring enough, if you can believe in your dream again, if you can get committed, if you can make it personal. It's personal. Because it's about you. It's personal.
Starting point is 00:14:00 It's personal. It's personal. It's personal. It's personal. It's personal. It's personal. It's personal. It's personal. It's personal. It's personal. It's personal. It's personal.
Starting point is 00:14:08 It's personal. It's personal. It's personal. It's personal. It's personal. It's personal. It's personal. It's personal.
Starting point is 00:14:16 It's personal. It's personal. It's personal. It's personal. It's personal. It's personal. It's personal. It's personal.
Starting point is 00:14:24 It's personal. It's personal. It's personal. It's personal. It's personal. What will kill them if they f*** with me? You've got to create a lot of different emotion to heighten your sense of awareness and focus. It's about you ultimately actively moving through your emotions rather than being stopped by them towards a goal. I think when change hits and it's personal, that's when the perspective shift comes. Get into something that's really personal, that means something to you. I think that's the key to what we do. It's got to be personal. It's up to you to carry on. Remember you owe you something. Continue to believe that. We all have desires and dreams. Make your dream a reality. I'm talking concrete commitment. The commitment that says, can I stay true to what I said I would do long after the mood that I've said it has left.
Starting point is 00:15:11 When you get personal, when you make it personal, everything changes. Don't make it personal. What a joke. It has been personal. When week after week I'm choked up, fighting back tears with every sentence, it's personal. I have waited my whole life. I will wait no more. That's why they say many are called few are chosen.
Starting point is 00:15:34 It's about, it's about you having a vision of possibility for yourself that has to do with being great. Because I'm gonna make it personal. Because it's always been personal... to me. Ontario's best casino action is just a click away.

Starting point is 00:16:35 In every arena you walk in, there's pie. And the thing is, is that that pie doesn't get any bigger. The pie never gets any bigger. It's the discipline, desperate, dangerous mentality of an individual that says, I'm going to push whoever I got to push out of my way to get my piece of the pie. Those are the people that get the pie. Because the pie doesn't get any bigger and the pie does not pursue you. You have to go after it.
Starting point is 00:17:04 So whatever it is that you're going after, whatever it is you feel as though you've been destined to do are you willing to push whoever whatever out of your way to get your piece of the pie so if you're listening to me right now there's anything in your life that is defeating you if there's anything in your life it seems like an improbable feat, you gotta smell blood. Once you get that scent like a hound dog, you get that scent, you see what is possible, you see what you are capable of. In the face of adversity, in the face of challenges, in the face of everybody that says you are not enough, you're not tall enough,
Starting point is 00:17:37 you're not big enough, you're not wide enough, you're not fast enough, it's in that very moment that the dreams gotta get bigger than than the disappointment Then the fear then the anxiety then the stress then the overwhelm It's got to get bigger the dream once that dream gets bigger and you get a scent for that dream You start to smell that dream. There's nothing on planet earth that can stop you you become armed and dangerous You are the most dangerous individual on planet earth individual on planet Earth. And so an underdog is just somebody who refused to live in the setback. It is a person who rebels against your reality. Your reality of me is that I'm not enough. Your reality of me is that I'm not qualified. Your reality of me is that I'm not quick enough. I'm not fast enough. I'm
Starting point is 00:18:22 not tall enough. I'm not linear enough. This is your reality, my reality of me is that all I have is all I need, I'm coming after everything you said I couldn't have. If you're gonna come back from the setback, the number one thing you have to do is make up your mind that you are no longer going to live in the pain of the past. Pain is inevitable
Starting point is 00:18:45 and it is unavoidable and when we talk about this underdog mentality the underdog is just a man or woman who has made up their mind they are no longer going to live in their setbacks they are no longer going to live in your reality your reality of me says I'm not enough your reality of me says I can't do this. Your reality of me says you won't finish today. My reality says all I have is all I need. I'm not living in my shed back any longer. I'm moving forward. When we talk about a dog mentality, the dog scrambles, the dog barks, the dog runs after whatever it wants. When a dog is hungry, move out of its way! This is killing for blood!
Starting point is 00:19:32 And the reason why you don't have what you want is because you are not hungry enough! You are going to have to push, push, push, push, push! You have to push, push, push, push, push. Nine times out of 10, the underdog always comes out with the win because the underdog was more hungry. The wolf that is on the hill is never as hungry as the wolf that is climbing the hill. The underdog is still trying to prove himself. The underdog is still trying to tell himself. The underdog is still trying to tell the world,
Starting point is 00:20:06 I can do this. And the underdog is an individual who refuses to live in the dark. Nothing that you want will manifest itself unless you aim for it. And you won't aim for it unless you know what it is, and you won't know what it is unless you ask yourself. And then you might say, well, why don't you ask yourself?
Starting point is 00:20:32 And the answer is, well, maybe no one ever explained to you that you needed to, which is a crucial issue. And then maybe you don't also trust yourself. If you had the job or career track that would motivate you, just hypothetically, what might that look like? This is dreams we're talking about. We're talking about dreams.
Starting point is 00:20:53 This is really raging. You become the best, you have to almost become fanatical. You know, this is my life, this is all I live for, this is my air, this is all I live for, this is my air, this is everything. Dreams require sacrifices. People don't want to sacrifice. Following your dreams is a lonely, solitary, scary, dangerous pursuit.
Starting point is 00:21:17 You can't wait for somebody to think you can do it. And when you get to the point where all you want to do is be successful as bad as you want to do is be successful as bad as you want to breathe, then you'll be successful. And I'm here to tell you number one, that most of you say you want to be successful, but you don't want it bad, you just kind of want it. You don't want it badder than you want to party. You don't want it as much as you want to be cool. Most of you don't want success as much as you want to sleep. Nobody knows but you.
Starting point is 00:21:45 You can't get advice on what you should do with your life. You take control of the circumstances. You take control of the outcome. You take control of your life. It's in our hands, it's on us. And nobody can make that decision for us. It doesn't start with them and they, it starts with me. Whatever the fuck you're doing, just prove to yourself
Starting point is 00:22:05 it's the shit that you wanna be doing. Build around that. This is the only life that I have. And I'm going to take the leap of faith. I'm gonna jump in it. I must live what's in me. And all of us have something in us that we must live. And if we don't know what it is right now,
Starting point is 00:22:21 we must create it or we must find it. All of us have this, whatever this something is that gives our life that meaning, that value, that power and that happiness. See when you get married to purpose, married to destiny, married to who you've been destined to be, everything changes. It's not about external validation, it's about your relationship to yourself. And you know when your head hits the pillow at night and when you wake up in the morning what that relationship looks like. It's not about them, it's about you.
Starting point is 00:22:58 You know life has a funny way of throwing us curve balls. Just when you think you can't go any further, it shows you that you got more left in the tank. My story will let me tell you. It's a journey through the streets of life. But I didn't come this far to come this far. Those words, they're more than just a saying to me. They're a way of life. You see life taught me a thing or two. It taught me that when you feel like you've hit rock bottom, when you think you have nothing
Starting point is 00:23:51 left, that's when you got to dig a little deeper. There were times when I had nothing but the clothes on my back and an empty stomach, but I never gave up I looked at the struggle in the eyes and say not today not tomorrow not ever if you want to achieve anything in life you got to put your feelings to the inside and grind if you want a better life for you gotta put your feelings to the fucking side and grind if you want a better fucking life for you, your family, your children, or anything else.
Starting point is 00:24:29 All of us have the power to transform our situation. The proof is in the pudding. All you have to do is open up your phone and you will see millionaire after millionaire, billionaire after billionaire, shredded physique after shredded physique, talking about how they changed their lives by doing the work you can either choose to believe them and follow in the path or
Starting point is 00:24:50 You can act like a victim and say they had it lucky or it's easier said than done Stop being lazy. There's no other way to put it. There's no other way to explain it In order to see success, you got to strap your shoes and your guy feet and start walking Just talking and dreaming and gonna get you there In order to see success you gotta strap your shoes in your god-fucking feet and start walking. Just talking and dreaming ain't gonna get you there. Affirming that life ain't gonna get you there. The work is gonna get you there. Don't tell me you have a dream if you're not willing to wake up and chase it.
Starting point is 00:25:23 Don't tell me you are going to do great things if you keep hitting the snooze button. You want to be the greatest. You want to be the name. Take care and thrive. You think any of the goats wanted to stay in bed for five more minutes? Stop being lazy and move on and be about your business. Be productive, be powerful, conduct your business. Not everybody needs to know your every move, your every step because sometimes there are outsiders that will come in and they will distract you from your destiny. When you quiet yourself, when you turn down
Starting point is 00:26:37 the value from all of the things that are holding you back and turn up the value within you and knowing that you have all you need within yourself to push forward, then all things are possible. So if I could tell you anything in this moment, it would be to divorce distractions living vicariously through the lives of people that are posting on social media, not their journey, not step by step, not the process, but they're posting their highlight reels. They're showing you the best of their life. And you're comparing your worst days to their best days.
Starting point is 00:27:19 You're distracting. Get off social media for a moment. Anybody that built something significant in the age of social media took a step back. They unplugged, they uninstalled the app for a season. You gotta live at the edge of your abilities. Constantly challenging yourself to jump higher, leap farther, run faster, to break through, not to go around. If we're going to manifest the future that we see in our heads and hold it in our hands, then we have to rewrite the code. We've got to unlock new paradigms, new behaviors. Beat on your craft and work on yourself so diligently, so vigorously, so energetically, so dynamically, so very strategically that we force ourselves to achieve.
Starting point is 00:28:16 Just be quiet and work in science. This is all that is needed from you. So whatever life has for you, and you stand up, and you work hard, and you keep moving, and you keep believing, and you stay powerful. There are many of you listening to me right now, you can drop it in the comments. You've never been single. And some of you have been single your whole lives.
Starting point is 00:28:53 But here's my question, can you create? Can you implement? Can you build? Can you execute? Can you invent it? Can you imagine it and fulfill it? Alone. Without sharing the details. Without spilling the beans. Can you build something so beautiful, so life giving, so unbelievable? With just you and yourself. Or perhaps you and your coach. You and your mentor. You and that one person that you know you can can depend on I don't need to communicate this thing to the world
Starting point is 00:29:27 I just need to get done You can't build a business you can't erect an empire With the wrong people and the wrong systems We never really get to the place of releasing our brilliance of uncovering our gift talents and abilities because we don't spend enough time with ourself. Beating on our craft, becoming the best version of ourselves, we spend so much time talking about what we're going to do, posting on social media about what we think. That we spend so much time and resource and energy,
Starting point is 00:30:10 and we never really become. I think most people grossly underestimate the power of working on themselves. I'm sorry. You
