You know, when you're playing football,
you know what I'm talking about.
When you make a play, you get to looking in the crowd.
It's so dark out there, I can't really make eye contact with nobody.
You know what I mean?
But when you make a play, score a touchdown,
you look in the crowd and be like, hey,
tight enough.
Y'all saw that?
Tight enough.
What's good in the city?
Everything.

dress how I want to dress, and speak my mind,
and that Atlanta going to come out every single time.
Yeah, absolutely.

He capping, y'all.

But this ain't real.
But see, I told you, listen.

I would have thought, if I ain't know any better, I would have thought you were from Atlanta.
I would have thought.
Because there's some chuggers, there's some finessers, there's some scammers.
All we need is an opportunity and some time.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
We'll talk our way out of anything.
Speaking of that, I still be scamming now.
Yeah.
I ain't gonna lie to you.
I still.
I know, because the lights hitting it, it look good, don't it?
Yeah.
Shit, this ain't just from the lab, nigga.
Nah.
You fix the cone, that fool's gone.
Straight from the lab.
Ain't nothing wrong with that.
Where did this Cam Newton?
The Cam Newton with the hat, the bow ties, the ascots, the look every day.
I asked this man, he did my podcast about three months ago. I said, Cam, you the look every day. I asked this man he did my podcast about
three months ago. I said Cam
you do this every day?
He's like Unc, every
day. I said hold on
what if you're not going nowhere
important? Every day.
Yeah.
You tell me listen
it's in you.
It ain't on you.
You see what I'm saying?
Come on, man. When you got that expectation for yourself,
and I'm open about, you know, every night I lay my clothes out.
Yeah.
That's just if I got something to do.
Now, if I'm going to my son's game, I still got to, you know what I'm saying?
I got to step. I mean, I still got to, you know what I'm saying? You got to put on.
I got to step.
I mean, I ain't never played today.
I played as me fight me, but other than that, I got to step.
I'm talking about big boots, steel toe, porn star step.
So at the same time, when I'm dressing up, it's nothing that I don't feel like I could not make go.
And then this is what they're going to say.
But he doing too much.
That's cool, baby.
You just ain't doing enough.
You see what I'm saying?
While I'm going through my clothes and I'm saying oh that's gonna go with that that's gonna do it
this never ever ever ever ever did it ever register in my mind to say today I'm just gonna
blend in right right oh I'm just gonna just be a backup dancer right oh I'm putting this together
because somebody might like it I like it I don't give a damn what y'. Or I'm putting this together because somebody might like it.
I like it.
I don't give a damn what y'all like.
I'm still waiting on a day that somebody dressed just like me on the same outfit.
I was watching a Receiver documentary in Las Vegas.
Devontae?
Devontae Adams and Mad Max, Max Crosby, wore the same outfit.
Twice.
Twice. He saw it. Two times. And Mad Max, Max Crosby wore the same outfit twice.
He saw it.
Two times.
He was disappointed.
He said twice.
But when you're talking about clothes, it's so many clothes that exist for us to all say we're wear the same thing and I'm like bro just because you got money and
your outfit is expensive that don't mean you got style come on now come on now it just it just don't
now you know you gotta just you gotta be able to put it on now let Let me just stop right there. Y'all go. You good. Listen. You,
the thing about you
is you're unique
in everything that you do.
Your style
and your creativity
is your vision
and your eyes.
That's what separates you
from everybody else
and it's been that way
for a very,
very long time.
So you can do it
and you can get away with it
because of the way
you carry yourself.
Like you always say,
it's not
what's on you it's what's in you everybody can't do what cam newton do you have the confidence to
be able to pull that shit off everybody got everybody else most of the time 90 of the time
they gotta look like the mannequin they ain't got no choice they gotta look like the mannequin
they just care too much they care what people think about. They just care too much. They care what people think about them. They just care too much.
See, this is the thing.
When I pray to my God,
as long as me and him good,
what I got to...
Please don't.
I'm locked in with him.
So, it's so many people that just
they try to feel like I don't need
nobody but you caring about how many
likes you got. I don't care.
I don't care if you like it.
I don't care if you comment but y'all need to go
subscribe to my YouTube.
But
the reality of it all is like bro
I've always
idolized the thinking of these two individuals.
Old people and babies.
Because they're going to keep it a buck with you.
If your breath's stinking, oh, baby, come here real quick.
Let me get you a peppermint.
It's humming a little bit, honey. You know, if something is a defect with you, my son going to say, excuse me, sir, why you don't have, it's just in him.
And he doesn't, we are taught to care.
Once we unteach that from ourselves, that's the thing about life.
We all are uniquely
our own version of our best selves.
So why should somebody else dictate
how you should do what you do?
I know you heard what Brady said.
Brady said the quarterback play
has been subpar
because they dumbed it down.
What's Cam Newton's take? Because you know
if you'd have said that, it'd have been trending
and they'd have been coming at you. He better
give it up.
Why he hating? This, that,
and the third. Like, man,
it's truth, but
we pick and choose who we want to take
advice from. True.
Hey. I'm going to let that marinate.
It depends on, sometimes
they hate the message
depending on the messenger.
So
when I say what I say,
it's how I feel.
I've really been good at
football. God has blessed me to be good at football
since the ovaries.
You see what I'm saying?
Yes. And at
Wesley, I was good at football.
Right. When I went to Florida,
I was a five-star athlete.
When I went to Juco,
I was a five-star athlete.
When I went to Auburn,
when I went to Auburn when I went to Auburn
she didn't get it
we ain't on the same
Wi-Fi
you were supposed to
every single time
I said that
you were supposed to
work
you did
when I went to
it's two pieces
go on now
and then when I went
to the NFL
like bro
like I've really been
good at football
for a long time
so
my insight and my take is something that is always in question.
I'm like, how?
You know why.
Tell me why.
Here's the thing.
Tell me why.
The thing is what you do is that you tell it how you see it.
Tom even said, he was on Stephen A's podcast,
and he said he can't always be as honest
as he would like to be because they have family.
And plus, Cam, let me tell you the reason why.
When you do what Tom does,
if you're too honest, they won't do press,
they won't do production meetings with you.
It's hard to get information and talk about
what's going to happen if they don't sit down with you.
Well, I'm glad you said that. this year you said across a person that said in 2024 the truth
gonna be exposed so i don't care it's no right way and for anybody who has somebody going through
this i'm just trying to make a point here there's no right way to tell a person you got cancer. Right. The truth is the truth.
And if you're telling me what I think and I know it to be the truth, I got to tell it how it is.
I'm not going to sit up here.
You want the job or not?
What job?
The job that's paying Tom Brady $37 million a year.
You want that job?
I want the truth.
Okay.
Well, Cam, I'm going to be honest with you.
You're not going to get that job.
That's cool.
I got to be honest with you. You're not going to get that job. That's cool. I got to be honest with you.
Okay.
Now, also be honest.
It ain't a lot of us that's really getting that type of money in the first place.
What about $10 million?
Huh?
What about $10 million?
It never was ever presented.
Who's making that?
But I'm saying, I mean, you know, Troy makes that kind of money.
What you call him?
They took his money down.
You got Greg Olson.
He was making $10.
In the intro.
Hold on.
You forgot Tony Romo.
Oh, Tony Romo making $19. Making $17. $20. You forgot Tony Romo. Oh, Tony Romo making 19. Making 17.
It's flying over y'all.
I know what you said.
Well, say it then. Who
is us?
It's me. It's me. Because
when I sit up here and I say
this saying right here. I love the
Buckhead Theater. This is really nice.
But the truth of the matter
is why I grew my
hair the way I grew my hair and the way I stand up for what I stand for it's
like I want to impact not just bucket but bank head too yeah so when I look at
the water boys giving me money and they sit up here telling me a bit bro help me
out bit bro I'm gonna take the time to let them know you don't pass the seven
to eight other cars just to get to my car.
Now, if you was a real businessman, that five dollars or that two dollars or that eight dollars or that two dollars or that 50 cent would probably add it up to the same twenty dollars that you're trying to scruffle for me.
And I'm the seventh car.
But when I keep it a big buck oh Cam is bitter again and I'm like no Cam is just an individual
that has understood I know exactly who I am and I know exactly what you're trying to do
I'm just not going to allow you to do that so you can make the money and still be who you are
they just I heard a quote the other day that said you can make the money and still be who you are. They just,
I heard a quote the other day that said,
Keep it above.
I'm trying to filter it
because now you got me thinking.
Everybody knows who they are. filter it because now you got me thinking. Everybody
knows who they are.
But in any type of negotiation,
they don't expect you to know
who you are.
Hold on, nigga. Hold on.
Hold on.
Now bring that to me again slow.
Everybody knows who they are.
All right, stop right there.
Okay, come on.
But in any type of negotiation,
they hope that you don't know who you are because if you know your worth you already know you're
trying to give me three hundred thousand dollars to cover sports and i know i'm gonna bring a whole
different outlook to it and i'm gonna make y'all ratings soar through the roof and do all this and
do all that and you're still trying to play me, and it's hard to watch the person
who you're paying more than me,
and you're trying to get,
come on, bro.
I'm good.
That's what y'all...
I got a question for you.
When you hear people say,
I know my value,
or you hear people say,
I know my worth.
So whatever you believe your worth of value is is only as good
as what someone is willing
to pay for it
so what do you do
when it comes to that
knowing your worth and knowing your value
but how do you get someone to buy into
what that is
they're not used to
seeing me
in this space so this i'm saying so this is
the thing this is why you impact and inspire me so much see the espn shannon sharp is a whole
different shannon sharp than what you see on club shea shea and definitely from nightcap and then
let me get there yeah let me i'm trying, bro. I'm just trying to drive.
You know what I mean?
You feel me?
You know what I mean?
I'm trying to drive,
and that person is extremely different.
Yes.
Sitting from blue screen to blue screen
with Chad Martavius Johnson.
Ocho.
No. You feel what I'm saying
yeah for sure
like those three
people are different
yeah so for me
I've
mimicked
to the best of
I know
I know how
so I see
okay
Funky Friday
is Club Shea Shea
okay
right
yeah
you got Nightcap
what me and my dog Peggy do on fourth and one
that's nightcap okay i just ain't got no espn deal yet but see that's my see that's where you
gotta have to pivot remember what i said no but no no no no no no no listen linda
you don't want to be on tv no you don't want to be on TV. No. You don't want to be on TV.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
See, this is the thing.
Okay.
I'll put it like this.
So when I do my stream, I just been streaming within the last 30 days.
Right.
I beat you to that.
But bro, I stream and there's 30,000 people watching my stream.
Yes.
So I'm going to dumb it down again for you.
Like you asked, like knowing your value, it's not that I don't know.
It's just I haven't been able to prove to y'all I know who I am.
I know who he is too, man.
Just trust and believe.
Once that volume of content gets the three to five times a week.
Hold on.
We talked about that, didn't we?
Come on, now.
We talked about that.
I'm trying to tell you it's a plan.
It's a means to the madness. I'm trying to tell you it's a plan it's a means
to the madness I'm not you can't treat me like a backup singer when it's giving Justin Timberlake
you know I'm saying it's giving Beyonce knows you dig it's giving David Ruffin
I'm like you see what I'm saying yeah and. And when you talk like that, they be like, see, there you go.
He trying to be.
But listen, I never wanted to blend in.
Right.
I know who I am.
And I know how to connect with people.
See, the thing that they don't want to tell you is I got a degree.
You see what I'm saying?
Yes, sir.
Like, sociology is something that the study of people,
like I really am intrigued.
So when I'm talking to a person,
I'm really trying to get into understanding that person.
See, I don't go off all the branches of the tree,
even though they may be green, they be red,
or burgundy, or orange.
Oh, that's cool.
I want to get to the root.
But that's a skill. So you have to the root, but that's a skill.
So you have to look at the Dan Patrick's of the world. You have to look at the Oprah Winfrey's
of the world. You have to look at the David Letterman's of the world, the Shannon Sharpe's
of the world and take all these different styles of, of, of the art of conversating
and apply it to your own.
Because now, for me, I've always tried to be the modern-day Arsenio Hall.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
And just bringing it with a twist. So I look at streaming now, where I have 30-plus thousand people
in a two- to three-hour span, and I'm saying, like,
yo, all this is is a radio show.
Yeah. hour span and I'm saying like yo all this is is a radio show yeah but you when you look at it like
that it's like okay I have a more direct to consumer yeah body of work rather than that
so once whoever it doesn't matter what platform sees the value in that? We'll cut the check then.
I heard you saw you, you said it, and I want to know what your thinking was.
You said you were disappointed that your former coach was there when you got there.
Y'all came in together, if I'm not mistaken, Ron Rivera, didn't call you when he was in Washington.
Why did that upset you so much?
That was my dog.
Like, we've been through so much.
I always hear his voice in my head.
Yeah, kiddo.
You know, man, this, that, like.
I say this respectfully.
He raised me, and I raised him
he was a rookie head coach I was a rookie player I was not going to allow him to fail in Carolina
not under my watch because there's the oath and as it's it's just in us as athletes that when somebody takes a chance on you, no matter what round it is, you feel obligated to give.
Because no matter what you want to say, they've allowed you the opportunity to take care of your bloodline. So, when what was happening, or what had happened in Carolina with me and Coach Rivera, we had
numerous talks and discussions about the game of football and about life.
So, when I was going through the transition of being out of Carolina, I was like, yo,
I was damn coach.
And it wasn't just him.
See, that's the thing I can't blame a head coach because he
may not have picking power but Marty Herney the same thing he was he drafted me right he was in
DC and he said no it's I'm gonna take it a step further. The head trainer that they had, Ryan Vermillion, was there.
Nobody.
So me going through this whole resurgence, like, yo, like, damn.
I kept asking my agent.
I'm like, yo, they ain't called?
Washington ain't called?
I don't know what's going on.
So maybe you weren't as close as you previously thought
man I'm an action person bro
I'm an action person
and I teach my children this
man I could tell you anything
but if I don't prove on a day to day
basis that I love what I showed you
that don't mean nothing to me
have you had a conversation with him
have you spoken to him
no sir
it's not no beef.
And I don't want nobody to kind of take what I'm saying is that I'm angry.
Because there was a business decision that has to be made.
And I knew I was coming off a shoulder injury.
It's that.
That's all it was.
That was like for me to just say, hey, kiddo, how you doing?
Hey, how you feeling, though?
Let's come up here for a physical.
Let me really do a deep dive.
That's the relationship we had.
And it was the things.
And I told Coach Rivera, I was like, yo, this was in Carolina.
I was like, in any short yardage situation, Coach, give me the fucking ball.
Is that why it hurts so much, Cam?
Because if you think about it, Cam,
a lot of them damn injuries
came because you stood on that hill
and you fell on that sword.
And you say, man, look here,
after everything that I've done,
at least bring your boy in.
Give me a look over
and see if I'm a good fit.
Bro, I'll give you a golden nugget, bro.
And I put this on Hattie Lou Newton.
That's my heavenly angel or that's my earthly angel.
That's my grandmother.
The biggest misconception about Cam Newton was that he took a lot of hits.
I didn't take a lot of hits.
I delivered a lot of hits.
That's not
the point though. Anytime you see
me hitting somebody, I knew I was
going to win that battle. Me too. As a
quarterback.
As a quarterback, we
have
the opportunity to slide.
I slid. That's not how I. Right. I slid.
That's not how I got hurt.
I got hurt, and I'm keeping a big buck.
I got hurt in the year 2016.
That year, the year before we went to the Super Bowl.
Correct.
I caught so much flat, so much, and rightfully so still to this day.
Cam, why didn't you jump on the phone
right it was an effort thing because that's what my dad taught me he didn't teach me skill
he just taught me effort god give you that he ain't gonna he not gonna beat you
that that's f that's the mentality that's something that's just engraved in you
at a young age it's like i don't care how are. I don't give a damn how fast you are.
You're just not better than me, bro.
That lion mentality.
That's what my dad taught me.
And that clip, that viral clip that people see,
like Cam not jumping on a fumble, that was pussy.
And my dad didn't teach me that.
So I was disappointed.
The following year, we was playing the San Diego Chargers,
not the L.A. Chargers, the San Diego Chargers.
It was a contentious play, but it was an interception.
And the effort in me said, I have to go make this tackle.
This is not in the pocket.
This is not me running the football.
This is not me.
Other than saying, it was triggering,
okay, let me show the world, right,
that I'm really going to make a tackle.
The guy, it was just me and the DB,
and he had a person,
but I was trying to push him to the sideline.
What happened was, when I was trying to push him to the sideline. Right.
What happened was when I was trying to push him to his sideline, my arm had extended.
Ah.
And I fell on my own.
That's where I.
Subluxed your shoulder.
My shoulder.
When I got up, I was like, hold up.
I thought, because Melvin Ingram.
Mm-hmm.
Mel. Mel.
No.
Yeah.
He was. Melvin. He was. Linebackgram. Mel. No. Yeah. He was.
He was.
Linebacker.
Yes.
He was blocking me.
And that's my dog.
We gambled.
You know what I'm saying?
Every time he come to Atlanta, he had to.
My brother's good friend was his account, like account of CPA or money man, whatever.
So I was very familiar and i was like bro after
the play they were celebrating i was like dog you damn you my shoulder like i felt it instantly
but i'll go back to it it wasn't in the pocket i wasn't running this was me in my mind saying to
myself i have to go make this tackle in any any other situation, I would have just said, you know what, bro?
Hell with it. It is what it is.
But that play
is the reason
why my career went downhill after that.
And
nobody really knew. It was like
Cam after injury.
The J.J. Watt or the T.J. Watt
hit, that didn't make it any better
either.
But it was on that same shoulder that it wasn't in a pocket.
It wasn't me running.
It was an effort play.
And this is the thing.
It got called back.
You got injured on a play It didn't even count.
So the moral of the story is, don't give a damn what a person may think,
because if you think too much about it,
shit, it'll just fuck your whole life up in the first place.
So that's where I was.
So when anybody says the things about it,
it's like, bro, it's documented.
Well, you can go back, and I can tell you the play.
Lovely.
I'm going to tell you why.
New England's experience made me the businessman that I am today.
Because everything is a business there.
It ain't nothing but business.
At all.
It ain't no friendship.
It ain't no love. It ain't personal. It ain't no friendship. It ain't no love.
It ain't no commitment.
Oh, you was there too.
Top to bottom.
Straight business.
Tom Brady left.
Coach Belichick left.
It's business.
But no, it's different though.
It's the real thing when they say the Patriot way.
And this is the thing about Coach Belichick that we know,
but to experience it firsthand,
I felt like I was in a 365-day internship.
It really wasn't 365.
It was like I was there.
I was like a lab rat.
They wanted to see if it was going to work.
It didn't work.
But it was just like, yo, what I learned there,
my challenge every morning was trying to beat Belichick into work.
Right? And then when he was going on his treadmill, he would still be walking and he would still be watching film.
He would have that iconic yellow pencil still taking notes.
I would see how he would bring different emotions out.
And he was a teacher of the game see that's the thing that people don't understand about people in positions of pastors coaches teachers or anybody you're still a teacher teach he taught the game find
myself in a couple team meeting rooms that bro he really had if he had to give an almanac of how many
players that he coached we were watching in modern day was that 2020
we was watching lawrence taylor film
like he's it he's that type of person like he showed john elway film just to be able to
appreciate where the game has come from and i appreciated that so I'm not gonna let nobody say man
Yeah, New England was a while like no, bro
How I run my business now and anybody knows who work alongside me? No, bro. It's all about accountability
This is right foot what you Chad I fuck what you uh, but it's like if you're not doing what you're supposed to do
Yeah you're supposed to do is yeah hey we can be we can be friends we still be friends
but he's heard me say this on nightcap yeah it's a simple way to do things we
don't get it done we got got accountability. We go on vacation.
We go on vacation.
Now,
you don't want to work on it.
That time,
that time,
Frank,
that's fine.
I'll find somebody that will.
For sure.
And guess what?
Everybody want to work on that.
Like real talk.
Like you,
I've never,
see,
this is the thing too,
when you're talking about being great,
sometimes you have to understand being great is boring.
It is.
It's very monotonous.
It's like every day I got to wake up.
Same thing.
Every day I got to go to work.
Every day I got to wake up.
Every day I got to go to work.
Every day I got to wake up.
Every day I got to go to work.
Every day I got to wake up.
Every day I got to go.
And it's like, hey.
But if I would have kept going for 10 minutes, everybody would have be like, man, all right, bro, we get it.
But that's that's what being great is. It's like every single day.
So you can't sit up there and do any shortcuts to the top.
But the thing when you think about anybody great that has ever did anything and sustain their greatness.
Oh, for sure. Let's say Jordan ah that's not a good example for what I'm about to say yeah Tiger
Serena um I would say Peyton um Brady no not not for this point. Okay.
I wouldn't say LeBron for this, but anybody great, let's say Michael Jackson.
They had a person to direct them whether they wanted to do it or not.
Or do you talk about the driving force of their dad? Their father, their family, they understood.
Serena, daddy, I don't
want to go serve that man. Listen, baby,
I got plans for us to get
out of Compton, and it's going
to take you swinging this racket.
Make sense to you?
Tiger was a phenom
at five.
Daddy, I don't want to hit
plus today. Baby, I got a plan to get us up out of California.
Yep.
And it's going to take you
par.
Yeah.
You still going to say it?
Cam, par.

I'm Michael Kassin, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on good company.
The podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next.
In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything
but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche
into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen.
What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there are so many stories out
there, and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content,
the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen.
Get a front row seat to where media,
marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide and hear how leaders like Anjali are
carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets. Listen to Good

Muhammad Ali was never afraid to express himself loudly and boldly and stays true to form in Ali and Me, an eight-part Audible original. Guided by his own
words, this series explores Ali's life and legacy through never-before-heard audio recordings and
discussions with those who knew him best. Muhammad had this real sense of his own personal values and
principles, things he believed in, his own sense of conviction. Those convictions never wavered.
Hosted by Muhammad's wife, Lani Ali, and his close friend, award-winning broadcaster, John
Ramsey, Ali and Me goes beyond the boxing ring to delve deeply into Ali's extraordinary
life through conversations with Billy Crystal, Mike Tyson, Rosie Perez, Common, Will Smith,
and Bob Costas.
It created a North Star for me of how I want to be in the world, you know.
As a child, as a young person, he gave credence to my audacity.
There's no debate that this is the greatest global sports figure of our lifetime.
Listen to Ali and Me me now on Audible.
Cam, you had a viral moment, and we'll get you out of this.
You've been doing these camps probably since you...
Before you, you and your dad have been putting on these campss and I remember calling your dad and your dad probably told you
I said no I ain't doing that no more
because your dad went to Savannah State
his dad's a couple years older than me
went to Savannah State
I said man I'm telling my cam
he's like man cam
love them kids man cam
they gonna give that up
have you done anything different?
What have you learned from that situation that happened?
Exactly.
It got handled, you know what I'm saying?
No, no, no, no, no.
I ain't going to do that.
I ain't going to do that.
No, but check this out, though.
Those weren't kids.
Yes.
Those were grown men.
And even with that, we had history.
See, that's what people don't understand.
So they coached with you before?
They was under my program.
Oh, okay.
So when things spiraled, and I'm like, bro, you know me, but you ain't never really seen that side. They didn't
know that side. They'd never seen that. They see the laughing and the happy go loving. But I'm
saying when I flip that switch, we gonna move some fucking furniture in here. And it's gonna
take a lot of people to come get me up off you. That's just the reality of it. But I was disappointed
at how he was coming at me. And I didn't see the other person who also was under my program that I was like, bro, what's happening here?
You know what I'm saying?
So it wasn't about the kids.
Because anybody who knows me understands, I can't stop.
Because when I stop, I may appease to Buckhead. But what about Bankhead?
These kids have to understand.
Because when I grew up, Pac-Man, Amar Carroll, Batman,
these guys was the only people that I saw come from where I came from
that made it to the league.
Eric Berry was a person who was in the same trajectory.
I'm like, bro, this is my way out.
I've never seen where I'm from a doctor ride around in a Rolls Royce.
Right.
Pac-Man came to my school in a Rolls Royce.
So I'm like, what does he do?
Oh, he play football?
Bet.
I seen some other Rolls Royces, and we're not going to tell you what the profession that they did.
And me growing up in church, I was like, you got to do what?
Nah, I do that. But that is what was the whole thing.
So my whole allegiance of who I am as a person, say what you want, but I'm going to be out there with them kids. I have to, because
when I was growing up in Atlanta,
and still to this day,
say this with all due respect,
but Michael Vick was a god to me.
Yeah.
You still live in Atlanta.
No, not like, no.
You don't know Baby D.
You don't know Michael Vick.
I know Michael Vick. I literally Michael Vick I literally and I told
Vick this I was like bro I spent my last 50 cent my we had 50 cent and it was 10 cent for lunch
my mama would give me 50 cent to get at the lunch lady right I spent my last. I didn't eat for a week because of the book fair.
It costs 50 cents to get his poster. So I had to finesse my way to eat.
But I could finesse. But they had like cybersecurity at that. You know, you can finesse that poster.
I spent my last 50 cents on that Michael Vick poster. And I would see every day, visualizing myself to how that, and for him to be in Atlanta, if he would have threw a camp, if he would have made himself accessible, not to say he didn't.
I just never had that opportunity to touch a person. But just to be around a person and to ask real questions, that's needed. And for the
people who do give back, giving back and philanthropy comes in many different forms.
Mine is being with these kids and when they ask questions like, man, coach, like man Colt what's the first thing you bought like real talk
like
man twin Colt
hey
you ever been to Magic City
what the more money you ever spent
in there or spent in there
like
that's what spent
you know it's the lingo
you know what I'm saying
but it's one of them things that That's it. Spank. It's the lingo. You know what I'm saying?
But it's one of them things that I can't, I don't know nobody that's doing what I'm doing.
And if you are, man, my hat goes off to you.
I spend a lot of money.
If I were to take this business plan and gave it to my financial advisor,
he would have been like, bro, what are you doing?
You're losing too much money on something that you're not getting back.
It's like a return on your investment.
You're not getting no ROI.
Right.
No, but what I am getting is like every person who's came through the C1N Cam Newton Foundation,
they know, bro, I seen Cam there.
Like, bro, he ride his Ferrari, his Lamborghini, his Rolls Royce, his family van.
He ride all his old schools. Coach, why do you do that? Because I want y'all, I know what y'all
boys like. I got to look like it for y'all. Because you ain't got to rob and steal and sell drugs,
bro. You ain't got to do that. You can have a podcast. That's it. Like me. Yeah.
You see what I'm saying?
So it's so much purpose in me.
And so for somebody to say what they want to say, it's like, bro, you ain't from where I'm from, bro.
Because if you was, you would understand, bro. There's some trenches out here.
And these kids, they got no hope. So for you to see that, for you to give them that,
that's of its utmost importance
for the growth of our ecosystem.
Thank you.
I like it.

your very own Atlanta native, Cam Newton.

if you put your left thumb, it has to be your left,
but you put your left thumb in your palm and you squeeze it,

Made for This Mountain is a podcast that exists to empower listeners to rise above their struggles,
break free from the chains of trauma, and silence the negative voices that have kept them small.
Through raw conversations, real stories, and actionable guidance,
you can learn to face the mountain that is in front of you.
You will never be able to change or grow through the thing that you refuse to identify.
The thing that you refuse to say,
hey, this is my mountain.
This is the struggle.
This is the thing that's in front of me.
You can't make that mountain move
without actually diving into that.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month,
a time to conquer the things that once felt impossible
and step boldly into the best version of yourself
to awaken the unstoppable strength
that's inside of us all.
So tune into the podcast, focus on your emotional well-being, and climb your personal mountain.
Because it's impossible for you to be the most authentic you. It's impossible for you to love
you fully if all you're doing is living to please people. Your mountain is that.

I'm Michael Kassin, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on Good Company,
the podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next.
In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary.
We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold,
connecting audiences with stories
that truly make them feel seen.
What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core.
It's this idea that there are so many stories out there,
and if you can find a way to curate
and help the right person discover the right content.
The term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen.
Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide.
And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the
most crowded of markets. Listen to Good Company on the iHeartRadio app,

In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal
that looked like it might bring down his presidency.
Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir?
No.
It became known as the Iran-Contra affair.
And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second.
I'm going to ask...
I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn. In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran Contra, you'll hear all the
unbelievable details of a scandal that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago, but which
few of us still remember today.
The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you.
Please do.

Muhammad Ali was never afraid to express himself loudly and boldly
and stays true to form in Ali and Me, an eight-part Audible original.
Guided by his own words, this series explores Ali's life and legacy
through never-before-heard audio recordings
and discussions with those who knew him best.
Muhammad had this real sense of his own personal values
and principles,
things he believed in,
his own sense of conviction.
Those convictions never wavered.
Hosted by Muhammad's wife,
Lani Ali,
and his close friend,
award-winning broadcaster,
John Ramsey,
Ali and Me goes beyond
the boxing ring
to delve deeply
into Ali's extraordinary life
through conversations with Billy Crystal, Mike Tyson, Rosie Perez, Common, Will Smith, and Bob Costas.
It created a North Star for me of how I want to be in the world, you know.
As a child, as a young person, he gave credence to my audacity.
There's no debate that this is the greatest global sports
figure of our lifetime. Listen to Ali and me now on Audible.
Our last guest of the night, guys, he really doesn't need any introduction. You've heard me
mention him on several occasions.
He was the guy that raised me.
He was the guy that I wanted to be the most like.
My brother, Sterling Sharp. That's what we do. Yo, y'all can hear me?
Do me a favor, man.
Please give Sterling, man, another round of applause.
Please, man.
Real shit.
Legend. Legend.
Legend.
Legend.
I was a big fan of the show.
Oh.
I was a big fan of the show.
With my, I was a real big fan of the show
until I had to follow the discussion about Angel.
My religion wanted me to be around people bad,
but I'm glad to be here
do you realize I grew up with him but tonight was the first time I met him
yeah yeah and I've always been a big fan and we say that a lot but you know guys
that have a passion for what they do. It ain't about money.
It's not about cars or diamonds, although we have them.
I enjoyed watching you play and do what you did.
Now, the antics I probably could have did without, but I really did enjoy you as a player.
I really appreciate the way you play.
Thank you.
I appreciate that coming coming from and this is
this is one of the things if you if you for those of you that watch when i played obviously i was
vilified through the mainstream media because of my style of play with the antics and having the fun
but to get the credit from my peers and those that came before me you don't know how much that means
definitely one of the best ever thank you means. Definitely one of the best to ever do. Thank you, I appreciate it. Definitely one of the best to ever do.
A lot of times people ask us, ask me,
they ask you, man, how much of what you'll say,
how much of what your brothers say about your grandparents, what your grandfather said,
what your grandmother said,
how much of what he's saying did they actually say?
I'm going to do it this way. For those of you who have grown up in a I'm gonna say a black church you know uh when they
talk about Christians and Jesus the shepherd and the sheep smell alike whatever he says
he got it from somewhere he didn't come up with it on his own.
So when he says, my grandma used to say, doesn't so, she actually did say it.
When he said, you know, my grandfather used to say this, definitely used to say it.
So Cam and I had a moment backstage, and I was sitting in the audience listening to Cam and he said
something that I've been saying for years that I never thought anybody heard, but obviously he felt
the same way. And if you look at Tiger Woods and Venus and Serena and Shannon Sharp and Sterling
Sharp, and I don't know Chad's background, so I gonna leave him out but the successful people
that came from nowhere were told what to do. What does Richard Williams know about
playing tennis? But we have Venus and Serena. What in the world did Earl Woods
ever know about playing golf? But he gave us Tiger Woods. I will say this. My brother and I have never had a fight.
Now, he used to cheat, and I used to beat him down, but we never had a fight. The only time
my brother told me what he wasn't going to do was that he wasn't going to go to Savannah State
College. And I said, that's good, because I'm on the way.
I'm leaving Columbia.
I was in school in South Carolina.
I'm leaving.
Bro, you're not going to the Army.
That's not going to happen.
The only time he and I ever had a disagreement,
I have never in my 59 years on this earth tried to be his father.
But we were always taught that if you have to look past your own dinner table to find a role model, there's something going on in your home. I only wanted him.
Bobby Dandridge.
His nickname was Mr. Clutch. We had Franco Harris and Tony Dorsett.
I wanted him to look at his own dinner table and be like, remember, it's the shepherd and the sheep thing.
I never told him what to do.
I never tried to instruct him.
I never led him.
I lived my life. But the wonderful thing, and for those of you who have kids, you know this, the wonderful thing is he was watching.
And I am so proud. I'm proud of that guy right there because I'm proud of Chad because
the perception, the persona, and who he really is, is actually two totally different people.
You don't realize how hard it is for him to come out here and do that.
That ain't who he is.
That is not who he is.
I'm ruining it for you.
And for him, he didn't go through anything he's led by us by a
higher power that put him where he wanted to be and what he went through on
TV he needed to go through that so he could get here and sometimes
many many times in a family you go through things that are hurtful.
But he had to go through that to get to here.
And he had to be here to get him.
And those two together are doing some really good stuff.
They're fun to watch.
They talk about really good things.
Not the anal part. But they talk about really good things. Not the anal part.
But they talk about really good things, and I'm very proud of both of them.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
Appreciate it.
You remember the time we was washing Popeye's truck?
Yeah.
Which one?
The black and white one.
The black and white one.
Yeah.
And we came up, and we did a half-tail job.
And he said, anything is better than nothing.
But what did he tell us after that?
Well, the thing about doing a half-assed job is it doesn't take any more energy or an ounce of care to do it right.
And we always learned that I'm going to do our job, play football, be a host or have a podcast.
I'm going to do that job better than anyone else does anything else.
When you have that passion because of how we grew up.
Can I tell you this quick story?
Sure.
Me and this guy were junior deacons and used to lead devotional service
i told y'all the junior deacon i'm supposed to be preaching i used to say i used to say
now let's go down in prayer with brother shannon shark and brother shark would get on his knees and let it out so it's it's so amazing to be here but it's so far from how we grew up
and what we did Chad is crazy because the thing is is we were taught we never had an opinion. We were never asked what we liked,
what we wanted, what we wished for.
We were always given an opinion.
We never were asked what you want for Christmas.
This is what you got.
I think we were the only family that got,
for Christmas, we got five pair of the same jeans.
He and I, one year growing up, our moms for Christmas bought us white suits like we were
John Travolta. But it was so much fun because we didn't know any better. It was what we had. I had
him. He had me. Now, the only only fights he was my brother and I'm the only
one who could hit him and there was only one time that I almost got in a fight over him do you
remember that what's the guy's name Danny Danny Doggett on the bus I kept hearing my brother go
quit Danny stop Danny quit Danny I was up at the. So I jumped up and I went back there and I said, do it again.
There was no, I need to keep talking to him.
Just do it again.
But my brother used to, he couldn't beat me.
Now, he would lie and tell you that he has.
My brother has never beaten me
if the game's to five I would let him score so we could keep playing
he would score and run in the house and be like oh my god I beat that old joke I can't believe it
and because of that I had to go and beat him down because he cheated but you know we
both have families have kids and I just I don't get a chance to do this often because I stay as
far away from the public as possible as a football player I never talked to the media although I
ended up in media for 21 years I just never never felt comfortable doing it, never wanted to.
And it was part of who I was.
But my brother never followed me around.
I followed him.
The only time in my athletic career I ever been reprimanded was by him.
I was in the 10th grade, and he came up to the fence.
We were playing Southeast Bulletin.
We had never beaten, and he goes,
what's the matter, are you scared?
Only time I'd ever been reprimanded,
I was a starting quarterback,
only time I'd ever been reprimanded as an athlete
was reprimanded by him.
We both have kids.
We both have families.
I believe this with all my heart.
Our love for each other probably supersedes that than our kids
because of what we've been through.
I mean, there's only one person in my life that I know exactly
what he went through to get here.
And he cried when I told him I would never play another down in the NFL
he cried I was actually kind of happy but he cried
and I will say you know that if you've seen his hall of fame speech
he said that he was the only player in the hall of Fame that could say this, that he was the second best player in his own family.
That was true, by the way.
But no, I really do.
I don't know Chad and I've never crossed paths with Chad and it was really nice. The thing was when he saw me
he made me feel like
we had known each other for years.
I knew
how uncomfortable he was
having to come out here and do this.
I don't see my
brother nowhere nearly enough.
When he said he was doing this
I had to be here because
I paid for a hat. three hats actually, for your guys.
I bought them hats.
So I paid the $38 for the swag out front.
Don't ask me why, but that's love because I really do love and care about him.
And I want to say this.
I'm very proud of you man.
I am really
proud of the
I'm proud of the guy you are man.
I am. I'm really proud of you.
We love y'all.
Thank you.
Guys when I say this in all sincerity
the only person I ever wanted to be in my life
was this man
he was everything I wanted to be
it upsets, I wish my sister today
is my sister 64th
wait a minute I'm 59
she's 5 years older than me
no she's 65
64, 5 and 9
she's
he can't spell it you can't add so y'all 65. 64. Five and nine.
He can't spell and you can't add.
So y'all go free. But here's what's funny.
He can't spell, I can't
add and we still sitting in the same
spot.
So you ain't better than us.
She would get so upset
because he got a shirt that had Mr. Clutch on the back
I wouldn't got a shirt
that said Mr. Clutch on the back
we dressed
and people laugh
tell them about my college girlfriend
and your first college girlfriend
looked identical
no
you don't understand.
Identical.
Same hair.
Same shape.
Same teeth.
Same height.
Same height.
Identical.
Everything was identical.
For real?
It wasn't the same girl.
The hell, nah.
It was not the same girl.
Nah.
But because I saw, like I said said I saw him every day and I saw
the way he carried himself I saw the way he did things he was a more he was always a more serious
person than I was I was not very serious at all I was always telling jokes I was always trying to
be funny and um that's why you couldn't get in prison with your grave they were bad they were
bad uh but I just think the thing is that once i saw because when
i see him and that's why i knew i could be i could be with whatever i wanted to be because
when he went to college i was like well i'm going to college too hell he could do it i could do it
he eat the same food i eat he sleep where i slept he getting rained on just like me yeah he got to
go to the woods to use the bathroom just like me. Here, let's go to college. I'm going, too. That's right.
He went to the NFL.
I'm like, he going?
I'm going, too.
And so that's just the way I looked at it, man.
It was just unbelievable.
Because my grandfather died.
I was eight, about to be nine.
He was about to be 12.
And he took over.
He was the dominant male figure in my life, Ocho.
He was the one that I followed.
But I would do things as a small child, and he would get in trouble.
And my grandmother would ask, Barney, why are you so hard on Spanky?
He said, because it's his responsibility to teach Shannon.
He said, because Mary, I ain't going to be here always.
And I never understood. But he's not much older than me you make it seem like he's like
10 11 years older than me but he knew even though I didn't that I watched everything that he did
I hung on every word that he said and he could get to me he could talk to me when nobody else could
like at track meets, something was going
on. My coach would call him. He's like, don't say anything to it. I got it. And it was, man,
it's an unbelievable feeling to have someone that you know, that you know, sincerely, genuinely
loves you, cares about you. And there's nothing that this man wouldn't do for me and it's vice versa
he knows that whatever
it ain't no when he made it to the
NFL he's like we made it
when I went to the Hall of Fame
I never said I I said bro we made
it we did it man
Ocho it's a to have him
by my side to know that
he's
we don't get to do this.
We don't get to do this.
And I'm not saying talk about each other.
We don't get to sit next to each other often.
I'm trying to think the last time we were this close for this long
would have been 2011 at my hall of at my grandma's funeral
in the hall of fame in 2011 yeah the. What year was that?
2018.
Would have been Philly, New England.
Philly, New England, yeah.
So it's not like we get to spend time.
I mean, we talk two or three, four times a week or text two or three, four times a week, but we don't get to do this.
And we're old enough now where we can say I love you and not feel weird.
Because nobody ever said I love you the way we grew up.
That was not something you did because as a man, you never showed.
I love you by what I do.
I love you by what I say.
I'm not going to love you by telling you.
So for us to get here, we're supposed to be here and I hope more people not just black
people more people would when you get a chance to give someone flowers give them to them don't be
ashamed or afraid to say good morning to somebody who doesn't look like you or how you doing to someone who doesn't look like you
and I think I've learned that over the years
because when we did the same things
when we both played football
we could talk football
when we both did TV
we could talk TV
I play golf
he doesn't
so we don't have anything in common right now
but we can still find out how each one of us, how we're doing.
And I'm very proud of how he handled the Skip situation.
He almost lost it.
The Afro-American almost came out.
I know you saw it when the glasses went on the table.
Skip, I'm in the effort all the time. I was like, I said to myself, that is the end of the sharps on TV.
Because I knew what was going to come next. And I was like, Skip, I hope you can fight.
But no, I say that in jest.
I never thought he would lose control.
I was really shocked that he yelled and screamed.
But he yelled and screamed not because of what Skip said.
He yelled and screamed because he was so hurt that a someone he liked and trusted would say or
do that to him and he would never say this I'm not on TV I don't do anyone else's media at all
except PGA Tour golf I go on their show but I don't do anybody else's because you can't ask me about him because I'm not going to give you anything about him.
Do I like his success? You're going to have to use your own imagination. Do I think he is doing
the right thing? You're going to have to use your imagination. I do not talk about him.
Everybody goes, when are you going to be on Club shea shea i was like i was first
before it became club shea shea and and chad they were famous i went on then because i was like i
see where this train going and this is way before cat way i do not want to be anywhere near where this thing's going.
So Club Shea and Nightcap, I can say this.
This is probably the last time you'll see me publicly.
Because they are going in a totally different stratosphere.
And I want to thank Cam Newton.
I told Cam backstage, I am very impressed by him because they are a lot
alike and and you have to admit Cam is the largest human being you've ever seen
dude is gigantic. Quichol? Man it's an honor for me, obviously someone I watched when I was young, growing up.
And it's so surreal hearing all the stories about you through Unc.
Yeah.
Watching you play, seeing the highlights, and now being able to sit here in person and hear the stories.
So the stories that I do hear, now they come into fruition because you're saying the same thing.
Because sometimes I think I'm be lying hey sometimes I think you'd be lying and exaggerating but goddamn you regurgitating the same thing that he be saying how about this here I told a story
and people like man ain't nobody say that me I cuz me you Arnie, Eugene, Lanny. Three other guys.
We all standing around.
They was talking about a girl they had all had sex with except my cousin Lanny.
He said he didn't want to have sex with her because she had the crabs.
What did she say?
Something to say about the elves.
No. The lobsters
So
My religion
Will not allow me
To follow these dudes
I'm going to heaven
They are not stopping me
From going to heaven
Where my homeboy Bucket at?
He's sitting back there Next to where I was sitting.
Bucket.
Where Bucket?
He's sitting right there.
Come here.
Come here, Bucket.
Hey, Jordan, help.
Where's Jordan?
Jordan, help Bucket get to the stage.
My homeboy, he just had his knee replaced, and he just tore his ACL in the same knee he had replaced.
My homeboy got buzzer luck.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, Buck,
come right here. Man, he can't get up there.
Ain't no way in hell. He ain't got to get up here. I'm going to give him
my mic.
Oh, you got to sit down?
Okay. Just stand right there, Buck.
Hey, homeboy. Yeah.
I told a story. Okay.
About the guy that walked in there with the chopper.
Yes.
You were sitting on the couch.
I was.
Buggy, go tell the story.
I ain't going to say nothing else.
I want you to tell the story in its entirety because I left a big piece out at the end.
But you tell the story how you remember it.
Reading the Jet magazine, Shannon said, homeboy, hey, I'll be right back.
I said, okay.
One came in the back door. one came in the front door.
And I looked, and then the guy knocked on,
walked in on the, in the bedroom on Shannon.
Shannon like, man, I know Bucket ain't walking in this house on me.
I mean, walking in the room on me.
Then I looked, and the man just stood there.
Hey, you sharp? Yeah, there. Hey, you sharp?
Yeah, man.
Hey, man, ain't got no beef with you.
Hey, she just be lying to me and everybody else.
So we got in my truck and hauled up.
So we was going down the road.
By jury.
We was going down the road, and Shannon said, man, I left my Rolex.
I said, man, I left my Rolex. I said, man, damn that damn Rolex.
And Shannon said,
man, I just paid $25,000.
Man, I don't give a damn. That man got a
sawed off an AK-40. Man, we going
back. I said, oh, Lord.
So I turned my truck
around. We went back. Old boy
gave Shannon his watch and we left.
And that was true. True story.
What happened when we was pulling off and driving down the road?
Driving down the road, the girl ran outside half naked.
Stop, stop.
I said, Shannon, didn't she go right there?
Man, stop this truck.
I said, oh, we finna get killed messing with you.
So I stopped the truck.
She jumped in.
I blacked.
I'm glad y'all stopped.
He was beating the shit out of us.
So that's actually how it happened.
I had gone to school with her. I had just come in time for homecoming he got the name but let me tell you i get he got the name bucket i came in time back
this was in 91 i said 91 yeah i said man pick me up from the airport i ain't gonna get no rental
car this time pick me up so back then you know you could walk to the you know you could walk to
the gate wait till your person come off, and he walked me down.
So I was like, okay, we cool.
I was like, I know he done got something real nice for you, boy, to ride around in.
So, you know, I go to the passenger side.
I open the door, get in and sit down, and he's still standing there.
I said, what the fuck you doing?
I said, man, get in.
He's like, man, the driver's
side door won't open. I got to get in through the passenger.
I said, man, you come
pick me up in this damn bucket.
And ever since then,
he's been
named Bucket.
And it was a five-speed manual, so I had to
step across it. you know and and he
painted it yellow canary yellow but that's a this is my biological brother me and that man
they're as close as me and him there's nothing I wouldn't do for it with With my kids, my daughter was in Jacksonville.
He would come see me play.
I was playing with the Ravens.
I was playing with the Broncos.
He would go pick my daughter up.
She refers to him as Uncle Fuzz.
He would go pick my daughter up, bring her to the game, hang out.
I'd see my daughter.
He would take her back home.
When I would go places, he would come up here and stay with my daughter,
make sure everything was, hey, whatever your daddy said, go.
You know what your daddy said.
And that would be the end of it.
So, bro, I love you more than life.
I appreciate everything you've done to me.
And I love you too, brother.
And just what he said, he had me watching over his daughter.
He trusted me with his daughter.
And that meant a lot to me.
That put our friendship to a point where it was brotherhood
for me to watch over his teenage daughter,
to house sit with her.
Ain't too many people going to trust him.
Let me save you from yourself.
You, hey, you giving out too many family secrets.
Man, Ocho.
Yeah.
We got two more of these.
We in Houston on Sunday, and then the following Friday, we're in Dallas.
Bro, this has been an unbelievable experience.
Beautiful ride so far.
Beautiful ride.
I can't think of a better person I would want to share this journey
with. Your dedication, your
work to get better.
You know, I put

work with because I have a lot
of expectations. You ain't the easiest person
to grow up with.
But bro, what you've done over

The Made for This Mountain podcast exists to empower listeners to rise above their inner struggles and face the mountain in front of them.
So during Mental Health Awareness Month, tune into the podcast, focus on your emotional well-being, and then climb that mountain.
You will never be able to change or grow through the thing that you refuse to identify.
The thing that you refuse to say, hey, this is my mountain. This is the struggle.
