I realize that everything I ever dreamed of lives in the sky and I must jump every single
Starting point is 00:00:51 day to go reclaim what's mine. And that's royalty. As long as you believe in that very gift that you have in the bottom of your stomach, that fire that burns, that dream that wakes you have in the bottom of your stomach, that fire that burns, that dream that wakes you up in the middle of the night and have you screaming
Starting point is 00:01:10 to the sun, rise, so I can go after this dream. That is the very thing that you should taste every single day. It's you versus you. Your dream versus the world. You're going to have to be phenomenal in everything you do because everyone in the world is chasing greatness. And what can you do when a man is going 100 miles per hour and you haven't even started the engine yet? Embrace being the engine visible. And they say, cannot do the best gifts come from the Father.
Starting point is 00:01:46 They will not see you coming as you rise, as you work every single day, tirelessly, for what you dream of. Now if you turn your back on me, I promise I'm going to make you turn around. You will call me king. You will call me. I promise I'm gonna make you turn around. You will call me king. You will call me king. We gotta make this decision in our lives today, kings and queens, that we will not be ordinary. We will be
Starting point is 00:02:18 great. You have an everlasting potential and as long as you have a heartbeat, as long as you have air in your as long as you have inner lungs, you have an opportunity to change this world, change your life, and live your dream today.
Starting point is 00:02:34 We will be kings. I see millions of motivational speakers that speak to the rich that speak to the successful I said who speaks to the broken who speaks to the individuals that are still in the process who speaks to the individuals that doesn't want to live anymore? Every motivational speech you ever heard, I was talking to myself
Starting point is 00:03:15 and I was telling my story. I couldn't read till I was 16. I buried my mother to a heroin overdose. My father was a hitman. I used to sneak in crack houses to sleep next to my mom to make sure she was safe at night. But through all the chaos and all the pain
Starting point is 00:03:48 God built a warrior so when y'all see King Hollis and every time I drop a speech I'm dropping it for you that person that want to give up on his life I'm dropping it for you that person that don't know that they have greatness his life, I'm dropping it for you. That person that don't know that they have greatness inside of them,
Starting point is 00:04:08 I'm dropping this for you. See the difference between a good player and a great player. See that good player does just the minimum to get by. That great player pushes his body past the limit.
Starting point is 00:04:36 He leaves every single drop of blood on the field. And whatever he does in life, he wants to be remembered as the greatest. He does that extra 10 when a coach only asks for 20. He runs that extra mile. When a coach only asks for five.
Starting point is 00:05:18 See, he knows. He's going to have to dig deep inside his soul to bring out that king to bring out that legend to bring out that power
Starting point is 00:05:43 that lays in every single one of us. But we won't go deep enough to get it. We're not going to be good. We're going to be great Being broke is a mindset That's something that you put inside your head That's something that you tell yourself every single day I literally started from the side of a Turkey Hill gas station. And all I did was ask someone,
Starting point is 00:06:29 could you give me an opportunity to go into your studio? Could you give me an opportunity to walk into this place every single day and create my motivation? The time didn't take long. It was only two to three minutes and I'll finish a speech and I'll give it out
Starting point is 00:06:44 because many of you guys don't know I do not write speeches. Everything I do is from the heart. So what I did was I truly believed that I have something special to give this world and I want you to know that you have something special to give this world. Don't ever believe that the lack of funds is the reason why you're not being successful. This is not true. The lack of belief is why you're not successful. Every single human being on this earth is a walking million dollar check. And our belief in ourself, our grind, our true grit to wake up every single day and tell ourselves and tell the world that I will be something special is what separates you from everyone else I learned that when I stopped being envious of people and stopped judging people and stopped being angry that I'm not on their level is when I truly started to elevate in my career.
Starting point is 00:07:52 I said, I told myself I would never take a dollar bill from another person. I will never sell my dream in my gift to anyone for any dollar amount. Don't you ever do that. And every morning you wake up and you look in the mirror, I want you to look in that mirror and I want you to tell yourself that I am special, I am great, and I am phenomenal. Nobody will stop me for reaching my goal. My goal, my individual goal is to become one of the best speakers of all time.
Starting point is 00:08:31 But I know I have so much work to do. While they sleep, I must work. While they party, I must grind. While they procrastinate, I must go after my future with a relentless effort. And I want you guys to grow to be successful with me. I don't want to just be successful by myself. I want my message to grow other people and make other people successful. That's what life is truly about.
Starting point is 00:09:07 It's about picking great individuals and taking them with you. We got to make this decision in our life today, kings and queens, that we will not be ordinary. We will be great. We will be kings. This life is about serving and giving and being true. We live in a world where people believe everybody is out to get you. But I'm telling you now, some people is just out to love. So for the rest of my career and the rest of my life, I want you to look at William Hollis as your brother, your family, because we are. It doesn't matter what color you
Starting point is 00:09:53 are. It doesn't matter where you came from. The only thing that matters is who loves you now. Growing up in the projects of Pontiac, Michigan, I realized two things. I realized that I won't make it if I believe that this is my reality for the rest of my life. And two, I had to realize that all the knowledge and my gifts were already placed inside of me at birth. All I have to do is fine tune.
Starting point is 00:10:32 All I have to do is keep working on this craft every single day. And I can be successful. When I sat on the side of that Turkey Hill gas station, I realized that no one would believe in me. No one, no one will say, William Hollis, one day your speeches will be played all around the world. No one. And I realized that pain was necessary. I realized that without my belief, I cannot go to the next level. And I want you guys to know every piece of motivation I give you, I'm talking to myself.
Starting point is 00:11:17 The world just happens to hear. Let's become legendary. Let's not focus on who don't see anything in us. Let's focus on everything that does. You are filthy rich. You were born rich. We're going to forget about the generational lack. We're going to forget about the people who left us.
Starting point is 00:11:44 And we're going to focus about the people who left us. And we're going to focus on the people who love us. We're going to focus on the people who believe in us. Because you have greatness inside of you. You have an everlasting potential. And as long as you have a heartbeat, as long as you have inner in your lungs, you have an opportunity to change this world, change your life and live your dream today. You are not broke. You are filthy rich. You were born rich. We will be royal forever sometimes your life won't turn out how you plan it turns out how you work for it.
Starting point is 00:12:50 How you wake up and you chase that dream every single morning. It's what you give your time and your energy to. That takes you to the next level. You see, I witnessed the death of my mother, the death of my grandfather, the incarceration of my father, and still I stood. Because when I walked in those projects,
Starting point is 00:13:19 I realized one thing. I realized this, that my dream never lived down there. I realized one thing. I realized this and my dream never lived down there. I realized that everything I ever dreamed of lives in the sky and I must jump every single day to go reclaim what's mine. And that's royalty. You see many of us believe that just because our father was a drug dealer And our uncle was a drug dealer That that is our life and that is our forever But I want you to know something
Starting point is 00:13:52 That is only a lesson to show us to be something more Than what they thought we could be You see when a family tree is dying All you have to do is take care of the roots. And if the roots is too dead to bring the tree back alive, you plant another one. Young king and queen, I'm sorry, but we live in a generation today where you're going to have to grow up right now. You're going to have to be phenomenal in everything you do because everyone in the world is chasing greatness. And what do you do when a man is going 100 miles per hour and you haven't even started the engine yet?
Starting point is 00:14:39 The best gifts come from the Father. They say, well, why do you want to be great? I want to be great for me. I want to be great so the Project Babies can look in the mirror and say, I am too. I am special. That flower grew in the same streets that I grew up in That rose rose up through that concrete And so can I
Starting point is 00:15:09 It's a mentality Roses can grow in the projects If you take care of the soil It don't matter how big the house is, baby. It's the love inside of it. Take care of your community. Take care of your brothers and sisters. Hold cowards accountable for what they put in your neighborhoods.
Starting point is 00:15:43 Put your crown back on your head. Let the world know your name. King and queen. This means you gotta work. This means you have to grind when they sleep you gotta grind when they walk you gotta grind
Starting point is 00:16:11 when you do not feel like it and this in all areas in life school, sports your religion consistency is the tunnel to greatness consistency will turn an ordinary Consistency is the tunnel to greatness.
Starting point is 00:16:33 Consistency will turn an ordinary man into something he never thought he could be. I want you to look in the mirror, young kings and queens today. If you're growing up with nothing and you're growing up without, I want you to look in the mirror and I want you to say these words. I want you to say that I am royalty. I am more of my generational curses. I am more than my drug addict father. I am more than my incarcerated uncle no I'm not better than them
Starting point is 00:17:10 but I want to do better for them I want to give our last name a legacy that will be remembered forever that when people speak of it, people will smile automatically. See, this type of greatness I'm talking about, I'm talking about when I die,
Starting point is 00:17:33 they can't even fit another body in the church. Because what I gave the world. You see, you see all these men standing on top of the world You think they're special You think they're everything But you don't know what they did
Starting point is 00:17:49 To get there, king and queen Are you willing to sell your soul For material things? Because right now We're losing the battle to the evil And I'm telling you, young kings I need you to come back I need you I need you to come back to the kings and queens that I know you are as great citizens.
Starting point is 00:18:11 You know, young kings that walk in the room with his pants pulled up and young queens that cover her body and only show her face because she knows she beautiful. And she loves the skin she in. You see, I want to bring us back to that. I want to eliminate the N-I-G-G-A mindset and bring the king mindset because that's where we were born of. Royalty. You see, kings and queens, life is like one man standing on one single street. And the and the creator says stay in your lane if you stay in this lane you will continue to ride but if you pay attention to all the other cars you will crash
Starting point is 00:18:54 what do I mean I mean don't pay attention to the next man pay attention to the next man Pay attention to the best man See the best man is whoever you believe he is Because the mind has power Your mouth and your words have power I became a speaker by walking into a school after having suicidal thoughts, ready to blow my brains out. I wanted to give some children something that they can take forever, something that can last forever,
Starting point is 00:19:36 something that can push them to the next level. And then I wanted to die. But God did a funny thing when I walked out that school in Redden, Pennsylvania. Five minutes walking down that street, I get a phone call and they say, Mr. Hollis, how much do you charge to speak? And that was the day my career started. Since then, I have done nothing but speak. Since then, I've paid every bill with nothing but what I make and what I speak. Since then, I've had a meal every single night.
Starting point is 00:20:25 Since then, I've met beautiful, kind people that helped me go to the next level. Since then, since then, you get my point. God is amazing. See, I thought it was about time that somebody came to the world and they gave people true words. You know, not just talk to the people with the big wallets and the big purses. I'm talking about the people that have nothing. I'm talking about the people who can barely get car service and barely feed their babies. I'm talking about the mothers left alone. I'm talking about the fathers just lost and never had a father and had a baby and still don't know how to be a father.
Starting point is 00:20:58 And they call the dead every single day. See, the thing about this world, they believe that you can just vanish somebody into something, but I want you to know something. With God put his hands on it, you cannot vanish anything because that's the same man that turned dirt into man. See, we tend to forget these things. We tend to forget how extraordinary our Father is. See, you got powers and we like Him.
Starting point is 00:21:31 You gotta awaken that power. You gotta bring it to life and you gotta show the world that this is real. People always ask me the question, they say, Will, when have you found what you love to do? I say, you find what you love to do when it becomes easy to you and amazing to the world. See, I hope you're listening to me today because I'm giving you my heart. I'm giving you my soul. I'm giving you what they call real motivation. See, no, I will never come to you kings and queens with that lion, tigers, and bears because I'm not a lion, tiger, or bear.
Starting point is 00:22:06 I was born in the jungle, though. But we made it out. Because you know what they say about real lions? Take over the pack. And we leave it. See, that's the thing We got a lot of lions out there in those neighborhoods Drug dealers, killers
Starting point is 00:22:29 Whatever you want to call yourself And I want you to know King, you special You misguided but you special I know you grew up without a father And your mother left you And nobody ever loved you And nobody ever told you you can be anything And you believed it left you and nobody ever loved you and nobody ever told you you can be anything and you believe but I want to tell you this that you are phenomenal you are a
Starting point is 00:22:52 king you come from royal blood you stand on the tip top of pyramids you are royalty king you are life you are star You are a life. You are a star. The question is, do you believe you are? Everyone has been an underdog. Streams all the way back to Little League. When you were a toddler, people would look past you and believe that you didn't have what it takes. What do you want to do
Starting point is 00:23:38 to prove them wrong? How are you going to go about that? See, it's beauty in the underdog. Because nobody sees you coming. The struggle of getting people to believe that if they put you in. You won't let them down. The struggle.
Starting point is 00:24:11 Of making people believe. That you have what it takes. To get the job done. But remember. They will not see you coming as you rise as you work every single day
Starting point is 00:24:31 tirelessly for what you dream of it doesn't matter who says you're not good enough it doesn't matter if they say you're not good enough. It doesn't matter if they say you're not qualified enough. The only thing that matters is that you're willing
Starting point is 00:24:52 to work your behind off to change their mind for it. Embrace being an underdog. Embrace being the individual that they say cannot do it. This is what life is all about. When we see the underdog win, it puts belief in us.
Starting point is 00:25:18 The underdog represents all of the people that's looked at as nothing. We are the true champions. Everyone on Super Bowl Sunday they wrote for the underdog because it's something about watching the little man,
Starting point is 00:25:46 the small people, the people that they say are not that talented. Watching them succeed. We had the whole world take our belief out of our head and stab us in the heart with a dagger. And told us do not believe.
Starting point is 00:26:11 But as they continue to stab. We continue to fight. Because they don't know about the nights. When we cry. When we bleed the pain we bled the pain. Out of our system. The blood was the tears. And the underdog.
Starting point is 00:26:37 Is what kept us going. It was the dog. Underneath the trash. Underneath the pain. And we fought to come out of that. Now watch the next time you say, forget the underdog. Because that dog has more bite than that pit bull keep fighting the underdog is truly the greatest Oh, this is the comeback.
Starting point is 00:27:35 Yeah, yeah. This is the year of the comeback. You don't know the feeling training. Every single day. Putting your body through pain. Pushing your brain to its limits. Just to come out. And injure yourself see when you're on top
Starting point is 00:28:13 everybody loves you everybody wants to come to the party but when you're hurt when you're hurt When you're broken down, King Who is around? The only person that will give you the strength to rise up And be who you are truly meant to be Is you
Starting point is 00:28:42 It's that lion inside your chest that said, I won't let my career end this way. I'm going to be greater and better than anything you've ever seen. Because I know what disappointment looks like. And I don't like the look. I'm coming back for everything they told me I wanted. I'm going to show the world that whatever is broken can truly be fixed. For every athlete, every man that put his all into something and he fell short. Well, just like those kids standing in those elementary schools when that teacher asks them to do something and they can't do it
Starting point is 00:29:52 they quit they power they cry but not us we're gonna do it until we get it right. We're gonna do it until we write
Starting point is 00:30:12 the end of our movie the way we want it to end. Now if you better give, you better get your money back. The comeback. This is for the dreamers. The dreamers that cannot sleep. The dreams.
Starting point is 00:30:53 They'll run away from us when we're running our fastest. We will not be last. We will meet our dreams in our paradise. We will marry our dreams. We will hold them tight to our hearts. And we will make them ours. Make them ours forever. Come here, dreams. I'm chasing you. It's all on you. If you fail, it's because you stopped running. If you fail, it's because you stopped running.
Starting point is 00:31:27 If you fail, it's because you stopped grinding. You stopped caring. You stopped working. You stopped working for that dream. That dangled in your face the gift that God left you don't be the person that forgets to open your gift
Starting point is 00:31:55 because that dream has everything you need in it that dream is the road has everything you need in it. That dream is the road that will lead to your paradise. Aren't you tired of McDonald's? Aren't you tired of living check to check? Your dream is your million dollar check. We're going to turn that apartment into a palace.
Starting point is 00:32:31 Let's go take what belongs to us. The underdog is truly the greatest. Greatness will only come to you if you run to it. Greatness will only arise when you step in the fire. you're not afraid to get burned. Mistakes happen. Trials and tribulations happen. Deaths happen. But you gotta keep going.
Starting point is 00:33:16 You gotta keep believing I need you to develop that what now mentality you know exactly what I'm talking about when you lose that job when everything disappears what now When everything disappears What now? Let me tell you
Starting point is 00:33:52 What now is dedication Relentless effort to achieve your dreams Putting a plan together Not just jumping into the water With no life vest Putting a strategic plan together To not just jumping into the water with no life vest. Putting a strategic plan together to be greater than you were yesterday. To be greater than anything anybody could ever imagine.
Starting point is 00:34:20 See, this thing about dreams, we believe that it's up to other people to believe. And the truth is, the only person that needs to believe in you is you. Sometimes when terrible things happen to us, we go into this dark shell and we stay there and we believe that this darkness will be our home forever. But you got to understand that every pain is a lesson every lesson that you learn in the process of life it's turning you into something phenomenal life is pain in it we lose some of the greatest things we ever had but one of the hardest things to do
Starting point is 00:35:04 is to keep going. Is to keep chasing. You show the beautiful, beautiful taste of greatness. You blend your trials and tribulations with triumph and celebration. Because your son and your daughter, your brother, your sister,
Starting point is 00:35:22 your mother, your grandfather, your grandmother, they're depending on you. But first you must ask yourself, are you willing to lay down and bleed so you can see the dream? They won't understand this brunt, this blood, sweat, and tears
Starting point is 00:35:41 of waking up every day, doing something over and over again, knowing that you ain't letting me get paid for it. Knowing that you don't even have a mirror in your life. You see, that is the true sign of a champion. When I say rise, King and Queen, I say rise for you, not for me. That freshman that's getting ready to go to college, are you going to take the obstacles that come with it? Are you going to study when they party? Are you gonna take the obstacles that come with it? Are you gonna study when they party?
Starting point is 00:36:09 Are you gonna dream when they sleep? Are you gonna beat the obstacles? This is the question you must ask yourself. What we hold back? What are we holding back? The journey where a man or a woman is made The journey The places where you bury loved ones And you gotta keep going on without it
Starting point is 00:36:59 The journey The journey The moment when you get that phone call. When you've been going to interviews for months and months and months. And they give you that call back and they say, I'm sorry. We just didn't have what we were looking for. Is somebody out there right now There's somebody out there Talking about quitting right now
Starting point is 00:37:30 And I want you to look me in my eye And listen to me You are special No matter if you have a degree No matter if you work at McDonald's You are special. You're gifts. You're special gifts.
Starting point is 00:37:49 You were born with it. That's where you will find your greatness. The journey. I need you to understand this. It's you versus you. Your dream versus the world. Don't let them stop you.
Starting point is 00:38:11 Let them see it. Let them see the shot. Some's gonna fail tests. Some's gonna lose family members. But what not? Keep tasting the dream
Starting point is 00:38:26 that hurts you the dream that bites and eats at your soul because this is the only thing you want to do but just like when coach used to say keep running I can hear him now he's saying keep running
Starting point is 00:38:41 keep running I know you, keep running, Will. Keep running. I know you're tired. Keep running. You want that degree? Keep running. You want that high school diploma? Keep running. You want to sell your mom off in projects?
Starting point is 00:38:55 Keep running. You want a beautiful life? Keep running. Let them watch you rise like a phoenix. And become one of the greatest this world has ever seen. The journey. This journey of life. This journey full of ups and downs.
Starting point is 00:39:21 And pain. Are you ready for? Are you going to sit down in the valley of pity for the rest of your life or are you going to rise and keep running? This is you versus you.
Starting point is 00:39:49 Listen to me again. I need you to understand this. This is you versus you. You see, once you stop paying attention to everything that has nothing to do with you, your life will change. You wake up every single day, you get on your Instagram, you get on your Facebook, and what do you do?
Starting point is 00:40:12 You scroll up to see what's going on in other individuals' lives. And I need you to teach you the lesson of staying in your lane. Understanding your unique gifts that you have to give this world. You see, what I will relate to you guys with is the fact that I started off with a terrible
Starting point is 00:40:40 household. I started off with people telling me, you're going to be just like your father. I started off with the echoes of the daughter screaming that you will stay in this pit of hair for the rest of your life. And as I watched around me, other kids listened. Other kids made this a part of their DNA. They decided to make this their reality. But I ran away.
Starting point is 00:41:22 I ran towards my dreams because I understood that if I do not make it, my family dies in this pit of hell. But the only way I can start running is when I realized that it was me versus me. Not him versus me or her versus me or them versus me. It was me versus me. Stop paying attention
Starting point is 00:42:00 to the man that's already a hundred miles ahead of you and focus on your next step. Put your crown on and become a king. Put your crown on and stop asking for other people to make you great.
Starting point is 00:42:24 And you take it. And no, this will not be given to you. This will not just be handed to you. You're going to have to take it. No, not with force or power. But I'm talking about your pure work ethic I'm talking about relentless effort
Starting point is 00:42:52 I'm talking about that ordinary man outworking the so called extraordinary man put the crown on! I'm going to tell you a story about one day I had to wake up and I had to go all the way down to another city
Starting point is 00:43:16 to speak and I had no money to get there. All I had was a dollar and 25 cents and a burned desire All I had was a dollar and 25 cents. And a burned desire to make it. You see, on this day, I learned about life and journeys. I learned that there's going to be people that you love the most,
Starting point is 00:43:46 that you look in their eyes and you ask them, do you believe in me? You ask them, do you believe in me? Their mouth will tell you yes, but their eyes will tell you no. But it's not about what they did to you It's about what you're going to do when it's done Yes, in life we have plenty of people that say But, but, but But I say, but what now?
Starting point is 00:44:23 You see, that's what life is about That's what this journey is about It's about what now? You see, that's what life is about. That's what this journey is about. It's about what now? Once we take our eyes off our destination, we start to trip. We start to trip over fake family members and fake relationships. But I promise you,
Starting point is 00:44:50 if you look in the mirror and you ask yourself, what do you have to do to be successful? I promise you, your heart will tell you. People always ask me, Will, what is your morning routine? My morning routine is whatever it takes to be the greatest. I like to walk in new pastures and go into new valleys of battles and see if God gave me what it takes to continue to fight that.
Starting point is 00:45:30 I will take that phone call. I will answer that email. I will go to the slums. I will go where the killer's at. Because I have a duty. From the man above to save the souls that's dying inside. You see, the biggest mistake you motivators make in this world is you try to change too much. And what happens when you do things too fast?
Starting point is 00:46:07 You make a mess You see me? I learned this very thing Take it, keep it, caress it Meet them where they are So you can take them Where you want them to go. Wake up every single day. Thinking about how can I change my life?
Starting point is 00:46:48 How can I stand on a stage with the giants? I started as a homeless on the side of a Turkey Hill gas station, and I told myself I will not die here. I said, how can I build a million dollar business with no money? A conscience in my head spoke to me and it said purpose. They said, when you work for your purpose, your purpose will begin to work for you and dreams and beautiful things will start to manifest. And I truly believe this. As long as you believe in that very gift that you have in the bottom of your stomach that fire that burns, that dream
Starting point is 00:47:34 that wakes you up in the middle of the night and wakes you up and have you screaming to the sun rise so I can go after this dream that is the very thing that you should chase every single day. if you chase this dream with consistency and you believe your booking and your calendar will fill up you want me to come to the middle of the projects i'm coming you want me to go where murderers sleep and live i'm coming you want me to fight that abusive husband that's beating on you?
Starting point is 00:48:05 I'm coming. I'm going to take drug dealers and turn them into community leaders. I'm going to turn murderers into security. I'm going to turn drug addict mothers back into beautiful queens. I'm going to turn broken me into kings. And I'm going to show them that everything you tried to hide, God placed inside of me to tell the truth. So when I say the kings are on the rise, we are on the rise. Whatever you want out of your life, it's up to you to create. Because every human on this earth was born with this empty canvas.
Starting point is 00:48:57 And your life is what you paint. There's nobody more special than anybody on this earth. It's just people that's willing to go down into the valley of nothingness. The valley of darkness. And come back with the sun. It's time that real comes to life. That's why the world is falling in love with this motivation because it's real. You can feel it.
Starting point is 00:49:31 You can see it. You know it. Because my motivation comes from my darkest days. And when I realized that I was going to have to put on my hard hat, that I was going to have to put on my boots hat That I was going to have to put on my boots And I was going to have to strap up and fight for this dream That's when things started to happen I told people I never wanted to be the man and the leader That stood in the front and everyone stood behind me
Starting point is 00:50:02 I wanted to be a leader That everybody stood on side of me and we fought together and we gonna sell our soul for a taste of a light bulb I don't care if you that small boy sitting in the project halls I don't care if you that small boy sitting in the project halls I don't care if you that girl That mother treats her like trash and calls her her name I don't care if you that young boy who never had a father Take him outside or throw a football
Starting point is 00:50:37 I don't care if you that father That they say is not a good father But they don't understand you never learn how to be a father you never learn how to love I want you to know that you still are something and as long as you got air in your lungs life in your body you can be anything you want to be you can be anything you want to be. This is what we must do to take back our city. This is what we must do to change this world. We must come together collectively.
Starting point is 00:51:17 We must understand that these older cats have sold their soul to the devil for a dollar. And they forgot about the babies at the bottom. They never went back. They left us. We don't need you anymore. But are you willing to die? Are you willing to sleep outside of that CEO office for an opportunity? You see, just getting to the opportunity is hard. Seizing the moment is a whole nother monster.
Starting point is 00:51:58 So while you're fighting and you're calling to get to the next level, let me tell you something. If you're a person out there buying, trying to buy your way to the next level, let me tell you something. If you're that person out there buying, trying to buy your way to the top, I'm going to let you know something, King and Queen. You can't buy a legacy. This you must earn.

Starting point is 00:53:25 I mean, this gift that the whole world wants to buy. But he makes us work for it. He makes us grind. He makes us feel the pain of the process. And for me, I would say I'd rather have it no other way. See, we get a lot of people that throw all these
