New episodes are being released every week. The link is in the description. I'm just stubborn, man. I just never give up. You're crazy until you're successful. Then you're a genius. Get alive. Be realistic.

People will convince you you're out of your mind for wanting to do this. Then once you're successful, they're like, yo, your drive, your tenacity was great. But it's like, yeah, well, where was that back then? I knew deep down that I could do something. I was different from other people. different experiences. There was something I needed to express. There was a purpose to how my life had unfolded, but I couldn't find it. If you look at the great ones, they have one thing in common. They suffered more than most people. Greatness really flows from our disconnection to who we are.

Intake, the outtake of what you call life is nothing more than time. And unless done something with is forgotten about. It's funny, when you're making lots of money, it's like admirable, it's respectable. It's like, look, those are traits we want. But when you're not successful, you know, you're a lunatic. I have extreme obsession to the point where, like, for me, it's much easier to think about something 16 hours a day for seven days straight than it's like to like gearship constantly. I'm like really good at just obsessing over one thing more than anyone else on the planet. If I were to say, what's my superpower? It's that I can just obsess endlessly about something and I can just have the same thoughts over and over and over and over again. It's very weird. Like,

It wasn't like it was work for me grinding YouTube for those 10 years or whatever where no one was really watching it. It's just like kind of who I am. There's a certain delusional quality that all successful people have to have. You have to believe that something different than what has happened for the last 50 million years of history. You have to believe that something different can happen. It don't matter how f*** up that shit might look. It don't matter how much it feel like it ain't going to work. Delisional.

Complete delusion. You got to believe the delusion. Because it's only delusional until it works. So is it really delusional? Once the world see it, there's nothing delusional about it. Now your delusion becomes, oh, he was a genius. We didn't see it when he saw it. We didn't understand it when he did.

We thought this was crazy. Everybody's a fighter in their own right. You're a fighter. I'm a fighter. Everyone that's in this room, even the newspaper, and they're fighters. But everybody don't get up every morning and run. Everybody don't go to the gym every morning.

And everybody don't have enough discipline to wait in the locker room for two hours or three hours, then go in the ring and do it. They've been taught all those years in the gym. And so that's what separates the champion. I'm a mediocre fighter. I got to the Patriots, and you talked about that one moment where I said, wow, I can really do this.

So think about it. I had been in all this competition at Michigan. I had Brian Greasy ahead of me lead a national championship. I had one of the top recruits in the country, Drew Henson, and I was staring those guys down every day. Here I come to the Patriots, and I get drafted, and I'm fourth on the depth chart. And I finally see Drew Bledsoe throw the ball for the first time.

And in my very naive, competitive way, because he signed a 10-year, $100 million-dollar contract, of the New England Patriots, when I was making $185,000, I looked at him and I go, I could throw the ball better than that, which I was the only one on the field who saw that. And I wasn't, but I had a belief that I could. If I worked the same way, and if I gained the trust and respect to my teammates in the same way, that if I ever did get that position, and I told this to my best friend, who was one of my roommates in college, I said, if they ever put me on the field, They're never going to take me off the field.

And they never did. In the race of life, life's not going to give you a glass of water when you're thirsty. And I realize that. And once again, people at Mount God, your life is horrible. It's not. Yeah. This is how I live. And if there's not people like me in this world with this kind of mentality,

it's not be like David Gagas. go run 200 miles take something from this remember where I started from you don't need to go where I went right I went this far because I started opening different doors to the cellar in my brain my god is this possible oh my God that's possible this possible I start to open different compartments you can leave them shut I don't care so what I do now in the morning times I do this because why life's not going to give me to get out of your free card. And if I come on here on this podcast and talk this stuff,

I have to live what I say. You've lost touch with who you are, the core of your being. You're on social media too much. You're listening to what other people are telling you. You're listening to what your parents told you you should be doing in life. Listening to what your friends think is cool.

You're listening to what the culture is all about, you know, the entertainment industry, etc. You've got to cut all that shit out. You've got to listen to yourself. And you've got to be a bit bold. and you have to embrace what makes you different. I say what makes you weird because I know personally I'm a very weird person. If you saw me at home, you go, whoa, he talks to his animals like that.

He's talking to his bottle of shampoo when he's showering. That guy's strange. I like it. I don't mind being weird. I use it to my advantage. I put it in my books. You have weirdness to you, whoever you are. Things that you might sometimes be a little bit ashamed or embarrassed or uncomfortable with, right?

but you shouldn't be. What makes you different, what makes you particularly strange, if you want to use another word, is your strength is your source of power. For me, that was a gift that life gave me was this like low-key delusional belief. And so when I was living in Moss Side,

stealing pizzas and stuff, I started recording it in my diary and doing little videos. And it's crazy. In the first page of my diary, I lied to my diary. I said, I'm recording this journey because a production company has asked me It was just that I always believed I'd be here.

However, when I try and impose that onto people and tell them the importance of self-belief, and I see these people who have got their confidence just absolutely in the bin because of experiences they've had or their dad when they were four years old told them that they're a piece of shit. And my fluffy words, you know, when they're 35, aren't stronger than those words that their dad said to them. You know, I struggle to try and tell them how to get to that place of genuine self-belief. Because, as I said, you can't fake it. If Stephen had to shred it out in Musline, I'd still be there. How did you cultivate that self-belief?

Being told no all the time, being told I can't all the time. And I think for me, I know that there's certain things that I'm not amazingly great at. But I guess the self-belief thing really came from always knowing that I was meant for more. For me, I always thought, why should I limit myself? I believe that anybody can do anything. I think you can break the model. Steve Jobs, break the model. Mark Zuckerberg, break the model.

I think that there's no one blueprint that you have to follow, and that's what I get most of my inspiration from for myself. So you and I agree on that completely. You can do anything you set your mind to. Absolutely. But most people don't. So solve a riddle for me. Why don't they?

I think they don't because of fear. I think a lot of people are afraid to jump all the way. It's kind of like having faith. A lot of us say we believe, but we don't really show it. Through my journey, I figured out the one piece I was missing. I thought it was cars. I thought it was women. The one piece I was missing was me having the courage to face myself.

And once you do that on a daily basis, it's not about the running. People are going to be, you're about working out. Where I got my work ethic from was the hours I had to spend learning this. When you sit down and you're not smart, You have a disability. And you still want to be in the top of your class? I didn't want to just get by. When I realized that I can learn do hard work,

and I can beat the valedictorian in school, but I got put in 10 hours more a day than he does. You know what kind of strength comes from that? When you're sitting down and that guy, that valedictorian study for an hour, and you know, I caught you. I caught you. And I am dumb.

but I have the work ethic to catch you. That's where David Gaga's got really invented. It was at a kitchen table with 20 spiral notebooks that were empty. And then three months later, they were full. This is unbelievable. There's no miles. It's not about the miles.

It's that. Having a discipline every day to say, for me to learn this one math problem, it could take me 10 hours. Wow. And that's where it, and you realize, hard work, you can outwork anybody.

Remember how badass they are? You have to be the champ before you be the champion. You understand? Does that make sense? Yeah. You can't just pop this by training and doing push-ups and knocking people out. This is I'm not the channel. You have to be the actual champ.

Your conduct, your lifestyle, have to be the champ before you have to be wear the belt. I tried 24 different businesses to finally get to absumo to finally eventually get rich. So yeah, you're swinging, you're swinging, but just one works? Awesome. But I think people don't swing enough. They don't even get started swinging, and that's, you know, they're not ready on the sidelines. And there's never a good time. The best time is right now.

It's not yesterday because that passed. It's not tomorrow because you don't know. It's right now. The reason I always do things that I think I might fail at is because I don't care what anybody thinks if I lose. It's a very big deal, guys. The reason I take so many risks and always did, and that's why I won, was because if I lost, I didn't care about what anybody thought about my L. It's my fucking L.

I'm telling you, if you can figure out how to get every voice out of your mind, your whole life will change. Doesn't mean you don't take advice from people. But if you realize how to get quiet up here, everything's different, man. What's scary about failure? I love losing.

It means I learn something. If I'm really honest, to have a certain level of success, I do believe you do have to be obsessed with it. If your goal is to be successful, but then also have weekends and also have a certain standard of relationship and have family, that's not wrong. That is your goal and you do that.

But when people say that to me, my goals are, I want to be exceptionally good at this one thing. And that is going to require a certain level of dedication.
