New episodes are being released every week. The link is in the description. You don't gain confidence by going to a spot that makes you feel good. When the alarm clock goes off in the morning, get up.

Don't wait. Don't hesitate. Get up. And you realize through hard work, you can outwork anybody. Now, how bad ass they are. A real man in the dark when nobody's watching, he put, men work. A real man when coach ain't even watching, he's studying

film on his own. Because he lost the process. Obsession's going to be talent every time. You got all the talent in the world, but are you obsessed? Is it all you ever think about? Let's face it, it's you against you out there.

You have to be willing to outwork everybody in the world. I became obsessed. with being the baddest motherfucker that God ever created. Am I that? I don't care. I believe it. He said before you even become number one, start to proclaim it and say it long before happy. The journey getting there is harder than going through it.

You got to be the hardest workers in the room. Opportunity out. If you will be a champion, if you will be a beast, you're going to have to go through something. Day after day, after day, grind after grind, after grind. Aren't you ready to take a break? Yes, but listen to me, I can't, why? Because I grind for Jayland, I grind for Jada, I grind for Didi, I grind for my mother. Are you hearing what I'm telling you?

So the days I want to hit that alarm clock, I think about my why, I can't quit. No one will outwork me. No one. Don't tell me you want it. Show me you want it. Are you willing to put in that time? Are you willing to study film? Are you willing to run those sprints all the way through?

Not halfway. You see, the game of football was created in the realm of gladiators. It was an arena for the warrior who kills the most. You see, football comes from the same bloodline of gladiators. And when you step into that arena Oh it takes a special man To step into that arena Because when you step into that arena

You don't know if you're gonna walk out I don't know To these 60 minutes That's what makes you special That's what separates you Display something That you already know you have in you To be unselfish

Football takes a certain mentality There's no better feeling in the world and smelling those hot dogs and hearing that band on Friday night. There's no feeling better in the world. They're walking out on Saturday. What you do all off-season. And once you understand that king this game, it's not for nice people. Don't play the game.

To just see the crowd and others play it. Make their bloodline proud. To take Mama out of projects and put sister in college. to dress their mother up to one day stand outside of a beautiful home and say this belongs to you, Mama. I ran those prints, I ran those hills,

I broke my arm for you, Mom running when I was bleat. For you, Mama. See, Mama, this game, yes, is dangerous. But it teaches us how to be a man. It teaches us responsibility. It teaches us to go to class

because without it, we can't do what we love. And that's play the game of football that you have enough. Take all that pain that you felt your entire life. And right now I'm talking to one of you seniors. Before you step on that field, take yourself back to that dark place. That place where you had no hope. And I want you to remember how far you came. And when you step on that field, Saturday or Friday night, you look your teammates in the eyes.

And you tell them, I only come this far. You know, Denzel Washington talks about consistency, the importance of consistency. You got to put it into work, you got to go for it. But you have to have consistency. Because without consistency, you're putting into work, the dream is nothing but a dream. And I get all of that. But you have to be able to look at yourself. And you have to be able to be honest with yourself.

And know when you mess up. Because when you mess up, what I mean when I say is going to be able to be honest. to catch you is at some point you're going to look at you and you're going to say I didn't go for it. But I often tell people this, particularly when it comes to relationships, relationships come and go. Things don't work out sometimes. But there is nothing on earth worse than when you know you're the reason in that stuff. See, if somebody mistreats you, if somebody that you love don't want to. you know more but you wanted them and you treated them right and blah blah blah but it didn't work

out it hurts but you'll be fine most people will be fine when you're not fun is when you know it was you and you messed up you messed up you messed you heard that everybody you've run across has had apprehension about who they are where they are where they're going etc but really the most important thing It requires like a literal look in the mirror. Asking yourself how you will feel if you never try. Because there's no one that could become all they could be without looking at them. What is your definition of greatness? My definition of greatness sustained excellence.

Anybody could be great for a moment. Anybody can have their moment in the sun. But who you truly, truly are at a particular craft. It's whatever it is done over a sustained period of time. To me, first take being number one is not what I'm proud of. I'm proud of the fact that it's been 11 years. That's what I'm proud. and the fact that I was able to do that at a continuous level,

that means I had to put my head down and just be about the business. I'm brilliant because I know I'm not. I steal from those who are. And I learn from them. And I disseminate that level of brilliance that I got from other people, always giving them credit, number one. Number two, here's the biggest thing. I think I'm the best

because I think about how can I make my bosses more money how can I get some of it that mentality is what makes me the best that's a game changer because what I'm saying is I'm not saying I'm the best

because I articulate myself on television better than anybody else even though I think I work as hard as anybody but I work more than anybody or that I got Even though I've been number one for 11 years in morning television, part of the interruption is number one on the ESPN, not me. I'm not those guys.

They're the institution. You see what I'm saying? I understand who I am. But what I'm saying is that you show me what winning is for the brand, and I'm going to bust my buck to go and get it for you. I've shown I'm trustworthy, that you can trust that I'm going to be at the 10th. or I'm going to go down swing. But there is never a moment

that I'm on the air that I don't think about what they want. And a lot of times, it's just like a musician. If you're JZ, you run a rock nation, you're a billionaire, blah, blah, blah. Do you make music just for yourself or do you think about what the audience would want? If everyone could take this in and realize it's about the win-win. When I was playing high school ball, the freshman, I'm trying to make the varsity.

And I wasn't as good yet, but I was tall, so they put me in there, right? I would listen to the coach and say, in complaining about some of the starters who weren't hustling. He said, we need more hustle. I need you guys diving for balls, jumping out of bounds. And I was just like, I'm going to be the hustle guy. I'm going to do what he needs, what he wants, so I can play. And try to help him win. And that got me on the team.

It's like working for a company. It's like, if you can help the company make more money and show them that, they're going to want to continue to support your growth. The win-win. So for me, that's brilliant. And I don't think a lot of people probably think you think that way. They don't. Because if I wasn't interested in making a difference,

if I wasn't interested in impacting lots of others in a positive fashion, they would have not been interested to give me the time of day. I had to be interested. There's something greater than myself to get their interest to elevate in me. Being as excellent as I could possibly be on a day in, day out, week in, week out,

month and month out year in year out basis. Why is the truth so important? You have to have the truth to have a starting point and your true self is found in that very uncomfortable zone. We all look for toughness. We all want it, but we look for it in a comfortable environment. You will not find toughness in a comfortable environment. those of you who are listening to this, you will not find it.

The only way you find it is to drown yourself in a position where you're just out of sorts. Where you can't swim and you're drowning. When you're drowning. And you say, you know what, man? Dad. Once you come face to face with who you are, you have a starting point. It's in our head saying, you know what, man? Dude, you're not doing shit.

You're wasting a bunch of percentage here. In this other 80% is suffering, pain, failure, failure, failure, self-doubt, darkness. And then a whole bunch of light. But to get to this light, you got to go through all of this shit. You're not succeeding and you're not achieving. It's because you're afraid to go in that dark place to find yourself. You're setting goals You know you can reach

And when you do that That fear That insecurity That doubt That's where you grow You must always set goals That you think you cannot achieve And then there you get better

And that long clock goes off at 4 or 5 in the morning Your mind says no You just say this is what we do It's what we do now Because to get to where you want to go, the amount of pain involved, the amount of mental pain of how many times you're going to have to do something that you don't want to do to get to where you want to go. Every day, you must ask yourself, did I do enough?

And then once you do this over and over and over again, it becomes like breathing. I don't want to live this lifestyle, but to get to the other side of this, I have to. So if you really want it, you realize what trying is and what trying is not. It's inevitable. Pain is unavoidable. We can't live without pain. How much pain can you endure? Are you willing to use your pain?

Sometimes pain can be your friend and sometimes pain can be your enemy. There will always be pain. There will always be betrayal. There will always be somebody that doubts you, somebody that overlooks you, somebody that underpays you, somebody that undervalues you, somebody that talks to talk but doesn't walk the walk, somebody that's with you but not for you. We're always going to experience pain. You just got to understand how to use pain to your advantage. You've been through too much. to retreat. Don't run from the discomfort.

Lean into it, feel it, and remind yourself that it is only temporary. Pain can lift you up even when you're filling down. Pain will remind you that you are still alive. We'll push you beyond your threshold. It's just doing it's just doing it's just. God. So use it.

Because there's always going to be there. There will always be a measure of pain in your life. In order for things to change, you've got to be willing to get up and do something. You don't have to be perfect, but you've got to make a move. Pain is an indicator like that lets you know that you need to take action on something. See, we're talking about the game. We're talking about growing. We're talking about growing.

We're talking about suffering so that you can go further. The choice is yours. Use the pain to your advantage. That Eric Thomas that grew up in Detroit and had like that Detroit mentality, while I love it, it doesn't transfer to every community. I had to, let the dream destroy you. Let it strip you. Let it remake and mold you. Don't be afraid.

Some of you are afraid. Listen to me, wherever you're from, if that's where you're from, where you from, if you leave, you can always come back. I promise you. I promise you when you come back, you can get right back into conversation. Ain't nothing going to change. I promise you, whatever world you're from, if you go to other worlds, you can always go back to that world. The version of you that you are right now is a blessing, but it won't take you to the next level. What got you here won't take you there. So let the dream destroy you, tear you down, redefine you, build you back up, make you stronger.

The first version of Eric Thomas, the high school drop out, that guy would have never been able to stand here and help you. I had to destroy that Eric Thomas. No matter who you are, if you're average or if you're good, when you get around greatness and you stay around greatness, you start listening to great podcasts and reading great books and you start hanging around great people when you start becoming a part of great masterminds, God,

you just evolve. And I don't know what happened, but every year I went from a high school dropout and homeless to I started to becoming every single day more of who I am. And I can't believe it, my next goal is to win the Nobel Prize. Why? I had to come up with something. I am giving you permission to be great. I'm giving you permission to be everything you were called to be, to do everything that you're capable of doing, to have everything you're supposed to have.

Listen to me. have to be careful when you hang around average people. All they're going to do is tell you what they can't do. And that's okay that they can't do it. But that has absolutely nothing to do with us. We can go from being homeless in high school dropouts to having PhDs, writing books and becoming the voice of a generation. We can do whatever we believe we can do.

And we don't need anybody's permission to do it with ours. You are brilliant. You are special. Yes, you're different. Yes, you're not doing it to traditional route, but greatness is upon you. You got to keep going. You got to keep going. You got to keep going.

In the 12 years to get the four-year degree turned into a master's degree. And the master's degree turned into a PhD. Guys, I can't believe it. I went from being a high school dropout, from being homeless, living in abandoned buildings, to eating out of trash cans, to Dr. Eric Thomas, to writing six books. Are you hearing what I'm saying today? Stop playing small and start playing big because I am. All right, all right, all right.

Let's stop. On three. One, two, three. I am. One, two, three. One, two, three. I am. Listen to me, I was literally homeless.

I was coming to church, not really taking showers. I wasn't brushing my teeth. And this guy looked at me and said, you need to get your GED. You need to leave Detroit. I'm going to send you to college because greatness is upon you. I was 16, 17 years old. I had never spoken a day in my life, and this guy saw it. Like, he saw something to me that I didn't see,

and he gave me permission to be where other people said I couldn't be. He gave me permission to believe I was great. He gave me permission to think I could change the world. He gave me permission to start something that had never started in my family before. gave me permission to say I am I am listen to me very closely when you graduate and you get a job if you want to get paid you never say no you never say it can't get done don't you ever say out your mouth it can't get done even if you feel in your heart it can't get done you don't say it out loud you let the broke folks say that you

let the folks they find first say that you always say it can get done even if you don't think it can get done just say it and try to make up something I'm being real. I'm being real. I don't deal with people who say, or they get paid real low in my company. They like maintenance when you say, I don't know how,

or I don't think it can be done. I'm like, okay, cool. You won't be like at the end of the year when bonuses getting passed up, you won't be getting no bonus. What I need you to do is I need you to kill the noise. I need you to embrace the I am. And however you get it done,

I need you to get it done. Not everyone needs to understand your purpose. Everyone needs to understand your mission. But the truth is, it's about passion. It's about discipline. It's about awareness. It's about accountability. You should know that being uncomfortable is not the end for you.

It is. a wake-up call that you have been comfortable for far too long. People think if they're in a comfortable state that everything is okay. But it's not okay. Because when chaos shows up, you've got to have the ability to push through it, to fight through it. Why were you at the gym so many hours because you were trying to get it. Why did you turn down those parties and those drinks and those drugs? Because you were trying to get it. Now it's time to grind. Now it's time to fight. Now it's time to believe. Now it's time to know that your success story has yet

to be told. It ain't going to happen by itself. It's not going to change by itself. You've got to be prepared to put in the work to get to that next level and go beyond. You rise up from negativity.

You rise up from fear. You rise up from doubt. You rise up from weakness. You rise up from the excuses. You tell them. the world that you got work to do. So you got to stay dedicated. You've got to keep on pushing forward.

You've got to keep on fighting the good fight. You've got to put aside the excuses. Because excuses won't lift you up. Excuses won't give you the power that you truly need. Don't sit back and have a pity party. Don't sit back. and wait for an opportunity to happen. It is up to you to go out there and get the opportunities.

You want success? Then go get it. You want to be better? Then be better. You want something more than what you have right now? Then you've got to have the desire within your heart and go strong and go with everything you have. I'm ready to wake up each morning. Knowing that every day is a new adventure.

This is what it's all about. The future. Now, my mind is clear. You have to wake up from the lazy mentality. You've got to get past this mindset of thinking that everything is supposed to be easy. Believe me when I tell you, I know what it feels like to be uncomfortable. But I'm not the only one that had to suffer through something.

I'm not the only one in the world that had to go through some kind of agony, some kind of lost, some kind of setback. But I didn't give up. I didn't quit. I had to realize that I need to be unlawed. uncomfortable. I didn't say to hey, why am I doing this and why is this happening to me? What did I do? I didn't say that to myself. So today, you rise. When they put you down, you rise. When indignness starts to keep inside of your heart, you rise. When you start to feel

that no one cares about you, you rise. When everyone thinks that you are less of yourself, I'm here to remind you right now that you have everything you need to rise. You know that good things don't come easy, but you are ready to embrace the hardship. This is my life. You are stronger now than ever before. The time that you have right now is to make a difference. Make it possible through the good and the bad. Make it possible.

Do better. Be better. Keep moving. Never quit. Be productive. Be strong. Be powerful. And from the bottom of my heart,

rise up and conduct your business. Pain doesn't mean you're finished. Your pain is trying to get you to get up. See, there's the physical pain. There's the physical pain. mental pain. In fact, there's even the spiritual pain. It could be a painful day emotionally. It could be a painful day relationally. It could be a painful day financially. Are you going to complain or are you going to use it to your advantage? Your pain is calling you to a higher level

of thinking and a higher level of performing. We have to come to a conclusion. And know you got to hurt so you can grow. It hurts when we hit in the gym. It hurts when we're lifting 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. For those that are fighting and battling, With mental stress, let me remind you, if it did not make you, it can never break you. You got to know how to rise above it.

You got to know how to endure. You got to know how to fight forward. And that pain, there's never a day off. Maybe this pain wasn't my enemy. Maybe this pain was building me up even through the hardship. So instead of a temporary fix, I'm challenging you to use your pain as fuel so that you can begin to design the life you want. You see, you can't build muscle without discomfort. You can't build a business without experiencing challenges, rejection.

You can't get a strong and fit. body by just laying around and eating whatever you want to eat. No, in order to get there, you have to experience the pain of discipline. Imagine if you can use pain as a fuel. Imagine if you could 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 and the rooms you've got to walk into and the tables you've got to sit at and the stages you have to stand on.

What if the pain can make you be? What if the pain could build muscle? What if the pain could cause you to reach higher, to leap farther, to run faster? What if the pain could help you? What if all pain isn't hurt, but it's help? I'm going to use the lessons I've learned to my advantage. Let pain serve its purpose. You're not supposed to go through life without a struggle.

You're not supposed to go through life without some kind of a setback throughout the course of your life. You will build on it and you will grow from it. If you really want to grow, you've got to be willing to admit when you are the issue. There were times when I was ready to give up but I pushed through the pain and I made it. And that means that you can make it too. Just like you made it through your last storm, you're going to make it through this one. Dry those tears and get back to work.

Dry those tears and get back to your mission. It goes up at your door. When people try to inject it, inflict it, use it to your advantage. I'm not complaining because life got heavier. I'm celebrating because I'm getting stronger. Let's go! Use the pain. Your time is not up yet.

Your time is right now. Your time is at this moment. And through the pain, you must rise up again. But as long as I can feel it, I'm not in the state of paralysis. If you can feel it, you can move it. I know you're tired. I know you're weary. What are you going to do with your pain?

Keep going. Use it to your advantage!
