Hey, million dollars worth of game listeners. You can find every episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen, ad free on Amazon Music. Right. The close proximity, entitlement from people that made it came up with you in the game or family members. How do you deal with entitlement when people say, Kev, the hard work you put in, I want the benefit of that or I want you to finance the lifestyle that you don't live for yourself for me. My circle is very small. Okay.

My circle is extremely small. There's not a wide variety of individuals and personnel around me. Like through the journey of success, the same people have been there from the beginning to the end. So the sense of entitlement, I'll say that we face or that is read of its head in our friendship and our group, we've been able to nip it in the bud because of our relationships. Like we're real friends, real brothers. Right. You know, the idea of checking someone or making one understand like when you're out of bounds or out of pocket, it's not as hard, right?

But I think the expectations are just unrealistic with what people expect you to do because of your success. People go, you're there and you get in all this. So why can't you just easily bring me on? Why can't you put me on? And while you're trying to get on, people expect you to do for. for them when you're still doing for yourself. Like, I'm just now in the position

where I can really make the extension of an olive branch and make things happen for other people. Make real career moves for other people. I'm just now at the point of real control. When you're still a work for hire, you're still a work for hire.

But you can't explain that to people that don't have an idea of what that means. Like, just because I'm in a movie, I don't run that movie. I'm not in charge of that movie I was hired to do the movie lead or no lead I may work for hire so it's not until that change and you you now

become the man that's in control of the machine like you really got the hat and you make the decisions and you're doing the cast and you're doing the budget and you're the partner with the studios because you're the studio now it's a completely different scenario but back then our

arguments or our I think our roadblocks that presented themselves was just based off of expectation and wants that weren't realistic. So my conversations was like, dude, you're talking as if you're not with me and if you don't know me, you're falling into the same space that people out there are supposed to fall into. It's like when everybody sees the basketball player get drafted,

the first thing they say is, oh my God, man, he's a millionaire, he got so much money now. He doesn't. He doesn't have so much money now. He just got drafted. He hasn't even received his first check. But that first day on draft day, people are like, hey, man, you know, there's a good time and you think you can help me.

He just got $10 million. Oh my God, man, we know you got the money that just came in. He doesn't have it. That money's paid out through the duration of a year and it's paid out weekly and weekly it's taxed and he's got a lifestyle he's got his bills.

So you can't spend all the money because the money has yet to come. But people are counting your money as if they know what the money is and how it's divvied up. And that's the biggest problem with entitlement. So when you talk about people's, the pressure that people put

on you, well, you're rebuttal. is don't have a lot of people that you got to fucking reply to you keep that number small because when it's small you're now having real conversations versus the fuck is you talking about like a bunch of those are draining

when it's small and people actually are receiving the things that you're saying and there's an understanding of why then that that small group grows and we don't get bigger in people we get bigger in knowledge and understanding

and development the reporter we have is one that just can't be infiltrated and that's why I love my fucking contained-ass group that plastic cup boy shit is for real like we built it we stand on it we abide by it and it's still moving until this day yeah there's been some ups and downs

but that nucleus of eight maybe nine tops it's a foundation that's life though ups and downs is a part of life it's the best you know what I mean but the the show a true friendship and true brotherhood is when you go through your ups and downs

and you're still together. Absolutely. You know what I mean? A lot of people go through ups and downs and then it's, I don't fuck with him no more. I don't, well, you really didn't fuck with him. Absolutely. You know what I mean?

So if they ain't do nothing that's that serious. Who stands the test of time? Right. Who's staying the test of time? And then, you know, that envy thing plays a major part, right? Like, who's really happy for you? Who's really happy for your success? Genuinely happy.

Like, who's really there? And they're like, dude, it's so dope. to see you do what you did like who's who's really looking at you guys in this space like god damn man the motherfuckers started here and now they hear yo it's dope to see from the outside and watch you guys

like where are you getting that energy from and where is it genuine and I think that's the separation right because you got different looks that you receive right you got that mm-hmm why you're not me right I'm over here I've been doing this shit forever yeah now you

right come on man like that That's crazy. Like, you got a bunch of those. That's crazy. That's crazy. That's crazy. Those add up. Absolutely.

But then when you do, you do receive the genuine and you look at where it comes from, man. I think it's, that's what makes it worth it. That's the, that's the ammunition and fuel that you need to, not just notice you doing the right thing, but notice the trajectory. Right. Like, it's going to get bigger, can't get bigger. But with the right people around you, your head can stay in the best spot ever. Right. And I do credit my fucking circle, my surroundings to me not going on the crazy side of Hollywood or the crazy side of, you know, ego or just that mindset that you're bigger than the world and you can't be humbled, right?

Like I'm, I'll say my guys have done a great job, guys household. By the way, I have been humbled. I've been sat down in more ways than one. So I'd have been punched in the fucking phase by life, by the business. And that helps as well. But my foundation definitely is one of the best pieces to this puzzle.
