Tune in today to hear Tim teach you how to make YOUR comeback!

Welcome to the Ed Milett Show. Welcome back to Max Out with Ed Milett and today's show is a special one for me because I asked all of you who you wanted me to have on the program and the same two or three names kept coming up over and over and over again in this legendary name, this legendary man's name kept coming up. And so I'm really happy for all of you and grateful myself that you've given me this time here today. So I want to welcome the great life strategist, coach,

minister of hope and faith to people. Tim's story. Thank you very much. Thank you. I mean that too. Yeah. So grateful that you're here, my friends. So we've just started to get to know each other.

Yes. We have so many mutual friends. And we're in this world together. But we're a dinner together the other night. Yeah. And you started to tell me know each other. We have so many mutual friends and we're in this world together, but we're a dinner together the other night. And you started to tell me a little bit about your story and we got cut off and I was in the mid, oh wife and I got back through and I go, I want to hear the rest of this story, right?

And so I know most of you know the after with Tim. If you follow him on social media, you've watched Oprah Winfrey show. You know, he is the guy that most a less people go to when they're in a crisis or they need help or they need advice, they call on this man this man and so and today you get to call on him Yes, but when it started out and everybody was calling on you, right? And so tell him a little bit about little Tim's story story little Timmy story Compton, California When I say that I don't say it in a negative connotation so much

Great stuff was going on in Compton as a kid, but we were a lower income family. We had seven people in a two bedroom house, but it was a super small house. And, but I learned a lot of respect in that house because we had my father, my mother, my three sisters and my brother, and I was the youngest by far.

You're the youngest, yes. So I had to really learn how to respect women in a certain way because we had one bathroom. And so you always had to be careful to make sure when your sisters are going in and out. So I learned a lot about respect. And then my mother, who was actually Spanish, some mixed heritage, her big thing was always,

don't do a halfway job. don't do a halfway job. Don't do a halfway job. So my sister's knew how to mold a lawn, and I'm phenomenal at washing dishes. And so, even though we were raising that cramped environment, my mother worked at Winchell's Donut Shop, and my dad worked at a place called Bethlehem Steel. So it was a real good training ground for me becoming Tim Storer.

Did your mom speak Spanish in the house or English? She spoke Spanish in the house for a long, long time. So I understand quite a bit of Spanish. But then later she really wanted to get her English down. So she was speaking predominantly English. But she still speaks very broken English today. Is that right? Yeah.

Is that right? That's amazing. So you start in Compton but somehow you end up in Atlanta eventually right? When does that happen? Well what happens to me is that I'm in Compton, California and we moved out later to East LA to another part. I then decided to go to seminary. How old are you now?

Right to second? No, no, no, no, when you go to seminary. I go to seminary 18. But it's an interesting thing because I was an athlete and I did pretty well. I love football, baseball, basketball. But I felt that I wanted to be a humanitarian humanitarian and if someone was to say at that time, who do you look up to? It would have been Mother Teresa because I'd read a book about her life about how she was a school teacher and

she would go to school to teach fourth grade and she'd see orphans outside in front and She started feeding the orphans. It went from four to 20 to 30 to 40. She then goes to the head of that Catholic school and says, hey, I think I better do something about it. And when I read this, it touched my heart. So I said, I'm going to seminary

to become a humanitarian. So that's when I went to the south, to seminary, to become a humanitarian. I never knew when I went to the South, to seminary, to become a humanitarian. I never knew that I had to give to communicate. I went there because I was gonna be, God's hands extended and helped under privilege. That's amazing, because I grew up outside of where you grew up in Diamond Barbs, not the same environment.

But I kind of understand, like, you grew up in Compton, you're a good athlete, you come from a family that's like the family that you describe describe not every guy in those families is going I want to go to seminary yes when I'm 18 years old so was there was there did you were you raised in the church would you raise with faith so that was also around you that was part of sewn into you to young which I think was very important to me two things one was, second was sports. Because the faith of going to church and hearing about principles, character,

being compassionate, being nice to people has been something that I've been known for all these years. But sports, as you know, by having good coaches, man, the coaches, they brought greatness out of me. Can I ask you something about you just off the story? Just have observed this about, I'm just curious. I don't know that I've met somebody who, I'm serious too, so inspirational,

and you transfer energy so well, but really so poised. There's almost like an elegance about your demeanor. Thank you. I mean that. Did you have that one year, a little boy? Has that always been part of you, or did you learn that as you, I just said to the number one thing I noticed about you that I, there. Did you have that one year a little boy? Has that always been part of you or did you learn as you I just said to the number one thing I noticed about you that I there's just this composed elegance about the way you deliver things

Wow, that makes me emotional. Yeah, I think that it does I I feel blessed to be me So I feel blessed to be me. No, no, no. You know. So, growing up, again, with sisters and respecting them, respecting my mother's hard work, even though I was good in sports, I didn't need to talk about it.

I didn't need to talk about it, I didn't need to show off. Then I saw guys that were elegant and powerful. Like I look at a guy like Sidney Portier. Great example. Such class, such style and yet very understated. And there's a scripture in the Bible that says, only a fool tells his whole heart. Wow. And I was always a master chess player in my mind that I knew I was going to be Tim's story, but I didn't feel the need to tell people about it.

That's amazing. That is a single thing that stood out about immediately with you is that style you have. It's a grace almost. There's a piece about it. Almost like you're so confident and have so much faith that I don't think you feel like you need to throw it out there all the time. Just wanted to tell you I saw that in you. It's really a powerful thing that you have in you. You need to go to Seminar. Yes. You're there. 18. Not the normal place.

Not every dude in your neighborhood was going to Seminar. No, and so I'm out of my comfort zone. Yeah. First time I'd ever been in the South. So it was the first time that I've had dealt with prejudice, because I remember in seminary, so it's a Christian environment, I had three roommates in me. Two of the roommates moved out within the first two days because they didn't want to room with a black guy. I'd never faced anything like that.

In fact, when I was in school, I don't remember having one enemy. I was funny, I was happy. And so... Probably popular with your athlete. Yes, and so when I found out that they didn't want to ruin me because I was black, that really threw me off. It was a strange thing. It did not hit me with anger. It didn't make me want to be a revolutionary. It just threw me off. Just threw me off. Yeah, I did not have some of

you experience before. So you're not with one roommate, everybody else has three at the other place? Yes, so we ended with one roommate and then it actually became a challenge because the interview five more guys before two took the position of Yao, I'll room with the black guy, because at that time we have just a couple of black guys that were on campus. So that was a very interesting thing where I thought because it was religion, it would be a Kumbaya woman. Yeah, if we're going to be all together, it's come by all. Let's go help change the world.

But the adversity in my childhood always helped me with those kind of things. I remember my roommate that stayed, was trying to push my butt and says, doesn't that bother you? Can you imagine this guy did this? I said, ah, you know, it's okay. I don't respond when people are expecting to respond a certain way. And a saying that I've been saying for years now is don't get dramatic in the midst of the drama.

I could have 19 dramatic things hit me at once and you will not see it happen. My right arm could be blown off and you won't know my right arm is blown off. That's amazing. That is the number one quality of the really great leaders people have influenced that I've experienced. They're not always when you also have this. They're not always the best orator or the most common. It's one of the things even that I noticed. One of the things I like, by the way, there's no political figure that I'm like a huge fan of. I'm just not political. But one of the things I admired about our former president, about Obama, was that he just seemed to have an elegance and a grace and a composure and a calmness about him under pressure. I don't agree with everything for

him politically, but it did is it makes you feel safe. It gives you a sense of calm when the leader is that way. So you just obviously you manifest that big time. So you go to seminary. What happens from there? I know I'm a product in my life, I think you are too. I'm a product of obviously a lot of hard work, my faith, but also I've had the Lord's delivered the right people into my life at the right time. Yes. But the key thing is I was looking for them

and I identified them when they were there. I took advantage of that relationship in a good way. What happened when you're at seminary? I know somewhere along in there, some really good men got a hold of you didn't that. So we're side by side in that experience. Is that I really believe that the the emerging of Tim's story, the person, the brand, and what I've become is because of the power of partnerships where people saw me and they saw that this guy's got something.

So when I was in seminaries of freshman, there was a guy that was 10 years older. He'd gone to seminary late. He was in a senior year, but he was 10 years older than me. And he was from South Carolina, and he says, Tim, you got something about you. And I really want to help you out and he said I do this thing It's for the ROTC and I'd like you to come and start speaking

Well, I had never spoken in front of a crowd before. I had never been in toast masters I'd never taken one speech class in eighth grade So this was not something that I thought I could really pull off So this was not something that I thought I could really pull off. So he literally coached me in my style and in my teaching. But what I found that I did not know is that I had a really funny sense of humor when I spoke. And a lot of the ROTC guys, you know, military, were laughing and enjoying it. And I was telling stories of David and Goliath that were funny. And the guy says, Tim, holy, smully, you got a gift.

But here's what was cool about it. He said, I'm supposed to be doing this for six more months. Once a week, they love you so much. I'm giving you the gig. And you get paid $50 every week. Well that meant laundry money. That was laundry money and gas money. So that was literally your entrance into this space eventually was literally from seminary ROTC speaking to these guys. That's literally how all this is.

That's how it all started. And then listening to my stories and laughing, and me saying, wow, I'm onto something. And then as seminary continued, I met with some people. I created a curriculum for inner city kids. Because now it's going into my mother's Theresa Faye. Serve people. So I found a tough area where the seminary was. And I began to go into the schools and speak on goal

setting you can do it set back to come back. Wow. And how did I do that? I was studying Norman Vincent Peel. We're thinking grow rich Robert Schuller and I was taking those dudes and put some swag to it. Yeah exactly. And so how's that grow into it? I don't leave too far forward, but that guy who's throwing some swag into it, speaking to this group and then going into the inner city, ends up then sitting with Oprah Winfrey, ends up working with Steve Harvey, right? What's that journey like? Like, did you just start chasing your passion?

Because there's no plan for that. There's all these entrepreneurs watching this, business people, right? They're watching this. They're like, I don't, they think they have to, like, the perfect path to go where they want to go, right? There's just, there's a certain part of just expecting a miracle, right? They're watching this. They're like, I don't know. They think they have to have the perfect path to go where they want to go, right? There's a certain part of just expecting a miracle, right? There's a certain part of your life, but speak to that a little bit. How do you go from there to this, like really, world-renowned figure you spoke in front of, I don't know, hundreds of thousands, probably millions of people by this time.

What's the biggest crowd you spoke to? 85,000. 85,000 people at one time. From that little room where you're speaking to this guy's group or 50 bucks, right? How that journey happened and what advice would you give to entrepreneurs? This is something you're going to understand 100%. Proverbs 1211, he who works as land should have abundance. Whoever chases fantasies lacks wisdom. There's my life. He who works his land, what's my land, Tim's story? If you're in the fifth grade, work your fifth grade land.

If you're a single mother, work your land. If you're overweight, work your land, get in shape. He who works his land, shall have. The word shall means certainly, it's fixed, it's determined. You shall have what? Abundance. Abundance is overflowing more than enough. I am freakish at working my land.

I am a working machine. I'm in the middle of eight companies. I'm doing movies at a high level. I'm doing plays. Rehab recovery, which we'll talk about later. I'm in the middle of the restaurant business now. rehab recovery, which we'll talk about later. I'm in the middle of the restaurant business now. I'm working my land.

So I'm up most mornings about 445, like you. I go to the gym. I'm working my land. So Vesantita Gonzalez, my mother, when she was so hard on me to do the dishes correctly, she was teaching me to work my land. So one thing you will always get from me is I will damn work my land. And you saw that by me showing up on time. Absolutely. Early. Yeah. So the posse that I'm with today,

I told him many times. I said, okay, let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's be on time. Yeah. Turn your phones off. Let's be on time. Yeah. I your phones off, let's be on time. Yep. I'm freakishly that way. Yep. But I will tell you something, I worked my land and it gave me abundance because it's the law of the harvest.

And I'll work you through this. It'll take me literally 60 seconds. Do it. You got to plow the ground to plant the seed, to water the seed to get the harvest. So your whole life is what's happened to you. You've been plowing plowing plowing plowing plowing plowing plowing. Okay, hard work planting planting planting planting by faith. Yes. Watering by faith. watering by faith, and pay days on its way. So pay day hit you and your wife in this wild way. Why? Because it says it's going to happen.

That's right. He who works as land shall have abundance overflowing. So that's what we recognize in each other. I love that. We saw each other and we recognize the God flow, the God overflow. Yes, that's exactly right. I see that on you. I saw that abundance on you.

The other thing is this is that I sense that most of your confidence comes through your faith. 100% and me too. So there's all these guys out there teaching these strategies of how to become more confident techniques and things like that. And there are things you can do. Keeping promises to yourself, but that's actually based in scripture as well. So, most of these techniques you hear are actually riveted and based through scripture.

And so, when I meet another man any time in my life, there's a connection. I go, his confidence is rooted in his faith. Yes. That is a depth of confidence that most people won't get from some technique or strategy, right? 100%. And so, people that are watching this, that are in the business space that go,

hey, listen, I've tried and planting seeds. I have been working where I am, and there hasn't been this harvest, this abundant harvest yet. What would you say to them right now? What do they need to hear? Well, one of the things is that you have to make sure you're working the right land.

Good. See, there's a difference between a good idea and a God idea. Just because you're pretty doesn't mean you ought working the right land. Good. See, there's a difference between a good idea and a God idea. Just because you're pretty doesn't mean you ought to be in a beauty contest. Just because you can sing doesn't mean you should be on American Idol. Just because you can talk doesn't mean that they should be you or me. And so when I'm working with people a lot of clients, they are misplaced in their position. One of my boys is Marcus Allen.

Marcus Allen played for USC. They anyone on, as you know, Oakland Raiders becomes Hall of Fame running back, right? Yes. One of the greatest running backs of all time. Yes. When he started USC, they had him at fullback. He was taking a beating, man,

because he had the block for the running back. He's taking a beating, okay? The running back goes down. He's the one that approaches the coach and says, Hey, you gotta consider something. That's right. Put me a tail back. They put him a tail back. He wins the highest control.

I didn't even know that. Yes. So some of the people that are watching today, you're in the wrong dog on position. Wow. So it takes guys like us to help reposition them. Oh my gosh, that's so true. Yeah, so you're working the wrong land. Oh my gosh, that's so good. That is so good. Speaking of that wrong land, I want to talk to you about that. Yeah.

There's like a million things I can ask you. We're gonna lay this little window, right? Because I think that's so profound, too. I mean, you keep beating your head against the wall. You're working the wrong land. You're working the wrong way. There's no grace on what you're doing. See, because here's a deal. When God's favor is on you, God's favor is God's blessings, bestowments, little extra. You got favor and I got favor. Quincy Jones said to me, he said,

here's how it's going to work, Tim. You take all the energy that you did towards helping all those hundreds of thousands of people speaking to 75 countries. But some countries I've been to 80 times, I've been to 75 countries, but some I've been to 80 times, okay. He said, you take that, you shift it to the entertainment business, and I'm telling you right now, you're going to take over.

Wow. And so I am. Wow, that's the space that you're now, and that's why you're in that space. I'm in you right now you're going to take over. Wow. And so I am. Wow. That's the space that you're now. And that's why you're in that space. I'm in that space. OK. Quincy said it would happen.

I put my faith to it. I work my land. I work my butt off. And bam, I do it. Why? Because I have favor. You have favorites, right? OK, so watch this.

Favor comes on the person. So favor's on your person. Yes. Favor's on you. But So favorite's on your person. Yes. Favorite's on you. But favorite's also on your path. Cause just cause I have my favorite on my person doesn't mean it's on that path. Hmm.

Is that just so bad? Oh my gosh. From someone, from someone who's in this, like I'm going to steal that from you. No, no, no. No, no, no. Cause it's so damn true. It's like the trueest thing.

It's like, Favorite's on your person, but it's not on the path it's so damn true. It's like the truest thing. It's like, it's like, it's papers on your person, but it's not in the pack. I turned down a gigantic movie today. Did you really? A gigantic movie. It's a $30 million movie. The guy says, I'm gonna make you a producer, Tim,

whatever you, I turned him down today. Why? I'm already doing another big movie. Then I got another movie. Then I got two plays. Oh my gosh. I don't want to do it. Back to back.

He said, how can you do this? You understand how much money you're going to make? Don't take me off my favorite path. Oh my gosh, I love that. So favors on my person, favors on my path. By the way, people are constantly given to that temptation to leave their path too. Both people will not see their path to the end of the harvest.

Isn't that true? They can actually get diverted off these paths all the time. There see their path to the end of the harvest, isn't that true? They can honestly get to burn it off these paths all the time. There's one thing to be on the wrong one, but when you are on the right one, follow it to the end of the path. There's the answer, the answer, the answer, the answer, the answer. You just hit the answer. So it's Dorothy needing to go back to Kansas for the Wizard of Oz. Watch out, cool this is.

So she says, how do you get back? Follow the elderbrae grove. How do I get back for the elderbrick road? Okay. So the scarecrow at one time he takes her off the path. That boy is gonna catch fire. The Tin Man. The Tin Man is looking wide on him. Bam! Okay? All right, the the Cowderly Lion has an emotional breakdown and needs a therapist, okay? Then we have the wicked witch and even Toto takes her off the path. So be careful who you partner with. You gotta have people in your posse that keep nudging you back on your yellow brick road.

That is eight men. What's amazing to me for y'all, for're, for those of you that are watching this, I'm like getting so excited. Because here's the thing, in this space brother, listen, in this space, it's a sound chamber. Everybody says the same things. You don't, you say the right things. You say, it's like, it's a absolute fact.

So by the way, say one thing I notice on you, just so you know that you might see on the camera, you can see God's goodness on you. Thank you. You can see it on you. Like there's a the reason that you're that look at you. The reason there's so many great blessings are now coming your way and have come your way in your life as you've sewn these seeds for decades into other people's lives and it's on your face. Look at you get emotional. But I just want to say it's like I interact with certain people. It's like you can just see God's

goodness on brother. Yeah, thank you. You really. It's like you can just see God's goodness on the brother. Thank you. You really can't look at you. And see, that's the difference between religion and relationship. Like I really, I know God. I know you do. We're very close. And so yeah, so favors on your person.

It's on your path, but it's on your efforts. See, people have said to me for years, isn't all this stuff wearing you out? Absolutely not. It's not wearing me out. I'm gonna tell you why it's not. Because I have favor, I have favor on my efforts. This is very, very powerful stuff.

So, as you know, wherever God guides, He provides. So all these doors that He has happening for you. So, as you know, wherever God guides, He provides. So, all these doors that He has happening for you. Because, you know, as I've studied you now the last two years, look at your life, man. I'm proud of you. Thank you. I really am so proud of you. Thank you.

You got so much going on, you're going to go into the TV space, and you're going to do phenomenally huge. Thank you. I'm going to prophesy another thing to you. You're going to be gigantic in Europe. Europe's not going to know it, hit them. You're going to be so big in Europe. And I'm going to tell you why. There's a void in Europe for you.

There's a gigantic void. A lot of the big boys, they cannot translate to Europe because they're bringing in an American type of way to Europe and it's not working How do I know it because I mean you're above the time? Yeah a guy like you you're gonna you're gonna blow Europe wide open. Thank you. Just watch what happens to you in the next 24 months in in Europe. I feel that's all my I'm telling you what's gonna happen. Thank you. I love that kind of so watch this So favors on your person. It's on your path, but it's on your efforts. So we are anointed by God to do what we do.

Yes, that's right. That's right. So that's why we feel a supernatural energy and a surge and sway. Yep, I do. I can feel it from you when you're talking. It's talking. Yeah. When you, just out of this path for a second, by the way, thank you for that prophecy.

I mean, you feel like a million bucks. Thank you. Yeah, it's real. A lot more than a million bucks. So people are on this path, and I know you're working in this space too, and I just want people to hear this, because I think there's a guilt. There's a shame sometimes that comes with these people out there that they want to win in their life.

They want to do better. They want to chase their path, but they're shamed by some skeleton, some behavior, some addiction, some thing they've got going in their life, right, and they think, well, I'm not worthy, I'm saved by the grace of God, I'm a sinner saved by God's grace, like I'm not sin free, neither are you, right. So that gives me such comfort,

doesn't give me permission to sin, but it gives me comfort in knowing I'm still saved, I can still have favor, right? And I think a lot of you think, well, you don't know my sin. Yeah. You know, my sin is a worse sin. I'm glad you're bringing that out. Yeah, I'm addicted to this or I look at that or I'm doing this. And so they've got this thing, they see their path, they're willing to put the work in, but this anchors on them that I've just got this thing I can't tell you about or I'm addicted to. One of the spaces that I'm super proud of you for working in is people that are working in addiction space as well, right?

You're just so wonderful, man. This is the difference you make for people. Talk a little bit about the work you're doing in that space because you know that I come from a family riddled with addiction. My dad's been sober for many years, but I grew up in an alcoholic, drug addict type family. I know the dysfunction that creates the stress, the anxiety, the hardships, and it gets passed to generations. I don't know if it's a genetic passing or an environmental passing, but it's passed.

You hit it both ways. It is genetic, and it is in environmental. So it's learned behavior at times. And so for me, many times you don't realize how dysfunctional your family is, and how you get older. And then you're like, you think everyone's family's this screwed up or something, you're like, wow. Wow, how do I get out of there? And then there's three things that can happen.

You can get intimidated, frustrated, or you can get motivated. So I feel like guys like us, instead of just getting intimidated, frustrated, I got motivated to change. But at the same time, I had inherited weaknesses that I did not know I had because they came from my father and my father's father. They were passed down. So, you know, I would say the biggest setback I've had in my life is to be divorced. I married into a very powerful family.

And I married into a family where I still call my father-in-law. He was an aide to three of our presidents. He's a brilliant man, double doctorate, and married to his daughter for 13 years and it doesn't work. It was like, wow, we should have dated three times and that was it. There was nothing there, there was no energy.

She didn't like what I did for living. She didn't like the energy of what became Tim's story. And it was a very difficult thing. Because divorce is divided force. So you have force, and now divorce is divided force. So you have force, and now I had divided force. And it was the first time that I felt that people could pick on me and really have good information.

It's a little bit legitimate criticism. Yeah, that's good way of saying it. So they're like, wow, look at him, oh Mr. Happy, Mr. Everybody. I know for a fact, he went to a divorce, and then people can then start rumors and start things. I will say this to you, I did not handle it well. When I say I did not handle it well, I was never verbal. I never fought back. I never protected myself. But I was inwardly in a lot of pain.

I felt a lot of pain and a lot of shame. I really did. For a long time. And that comes with everybody's mistake or misstep. I think you're going down that track just for the jump in on that. It could be your divorce that gives you shame or pain. It could be your drinking that does it. It could be your drug addiction. It could be your addicted to watching porn. It could be your, you don't know how lazy I am. You don't know how often I make a promise I don't keep.

Because if I do those things, what's the path out of that for somebody? The path out of that is number one, something path out for you. The Psalm 103 says, the God does not treat you as your sins deserve. The word treat is a very interesting word because most people are used to a treatment and like let's say if your father's bothered with you, he may not say something but it's a look. Yeah. You're like, oh man, I didn't even do anything. Just give me that look. So he's treating you or the mother that maybe would give you the silent treatment.

Yes. So the Bible says, God does not treat you as your sins deserve. So when we fail, we always feel like, oh, I deserve something. Psychologically, and emotionally, we think we deserve something. Psychologically, and emotionally, we think we deserve something. And so it's very, very common when people meet me

and they know that I'm a spiritual cat, if they know that they're up to some bad crap, because I'm with a lot of famous rappers. And they're like, meet me and they're like, oh, dude, you know, like, just so you know, I've been off weed for like a week. I'm like, I'm not even talking about weed. It just comes out there, you're confessing.

So my way of getting around this is that God does not treat you as your sins deserve. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His love for those that fear Him. I will tell you that even when I made bad choices, I still loved God. Yeah. I just didn't have my crap together, but I still love God, even when I was making bad choices, I still loved God. Yeah. I just didn't have my crap together,

but I still loved God, even when I was making bad choices. And then last thing on this, it says, for he knows your frame. The know in the Hebrew, the word is a word yada, which means more than he's familiar. I mean, he knows it, he knows it, he knows. So this is amazing thing about your life, okay? Come in from what you came from.

When God chose you, he knew what he was getting into. He knew man, he may lose his temper. Right? He may get too feisty. He may do something crazy. Yes. But see, God would never give you the invitation if he was overly concerned about your limitation. Oh my God Do you love it? I love it. There's this is I was honest with you. Yeah, this is my favorite conversation

I probably ever have I'll be honest with you like don't you feel good right now? You I just feel good, right? Yeah, God's not tripping. You know, I work with Charlie Sheen. Oh my God. God's not tripping on Charlie. Everybody wants to get ticked off. Charlie's my boy, man.

He calls my mom to see how she is. God's not tripping on Charlie. He knows his frame. He comes from addiction. Yes. Okay? He's an addict. Yes. Yes. God's not tripping on Robert Downey. I mean, look at Robert came from, first time I met Robert, started working with him in

1998. He became Iron Man, what made $60 million last year. God's not tripping on our frame. He is not tripping on our frame. And that's so, so important that we don't paralyze our kids in their current situation and thinking, that's it. No, that's not it. Wow. He's going to make a way where there was no way. Yes. God put you in my life just so you know, I just got this right now.

Yeah. Literally. But each other. I need you. Yeah. God put you in my life. Like I'm positive. It's like, I need you. I need you. God puts you in my life. Like I'm positive. It's like, it takes a lot to reach me. Yeah.

You reach me. I know he's reaching you all. No, thank you for that too. Brother, you're such a good man. Thank you for that. Feel it. I can just say something about the recovery. My friend Walty Barrow is a cool guy.

He's a businessman. Yes. Made a lot of millions. And God began to speak to him about the recovery world. He knows what it's like to go through pain, even with his own family and addiction. And so he started something called Merrow's Recovery. And we're going to put all the information down later. And I like to see maybe you put it on your website because we're changing people's lives. And so one of the things that he did, he said,

hey Tim, with your comeback background, can you come? Yeah. And just share, we call him clients, because we don't want to call him patients, we call him clients. And to every person, when Walt would see them, he puts a 10 on their forehead. That kid could be strung out on heroin,

just laying like this. But we put a 10 on their forehead. Because we're speaking to that possibility. Yes. And so, you know, in this whole recovery world that we've been doing through, merrose recovery, we're seeing so many young people's lives change forever.

Praise God. By speaking to the life in them. Yes. Yes. They already know they're in trouble. Yes. Don't speak to the death in somebody when to the life in them. Yes. Yes. They already know they're in trouble. Yes. Don't speak to the death in somebody when they know they're dying. Yes. My sentence, what I would just say to you is I just learned something that I think I do pretty well. I want to acknowledge this. Yeah. I do

that with everybody. I always speak to their possibilities. Yeah. Like I think that's the way to treat people. I love to speak to their possibilities. And we were talking earlier about your program. I definitely want to put them in a website. We're definitely going to put a link up for them there. Yeah. You talked about, not just people in recovery, talk about a comeback. Yes.

All these people watch is like, I want to come back. And so if I'm watching this, by the way, here's what's crazy, whether it be Robert Downey, Jr. or Charlie, or Oprah, or Harvey, or whoever is that you've worked with, right? Yeah. This is what's amazing about the social media space, access to something like this,

when the elite are the best in their field, and I don't care whether they're an actor or they're the best school teacher in the world, both impress me equally, and I know they do with you as well, but when the best in their field can get access to you, and everybody else here can as well, you can have access to this same person, you can have access to his inspiration,

his mentoring, his coaching, his information. So I don't always want to do this at the end. I like to this same person. You can have access to his inspiration, his mentoring, his coaching, his information. So I don't always want to do this at the end. I like to do it now. How does someone, I can tell them, they're already searching, they're already following you on Instagram probably, right? But beyond Instagram, where else can someone find you and start to engage with you? How do they do that? Okay.

So at TimStory.com, we offer some really unique mentoring programs. And one of them is I'm spending more time with people and doing a 60 day program to take you from recovery to discovery. And here's what happens, most people spend their whole life in the recovery zone, because they're constantly trying to fix something about themselves. So this is the comeback, sort of speak. This is the comeback. OK, OK.

So we have different plans. It runs a 60 day recovery program, online mentoring. So there's a lot of things on TimStory.com that they can go to. But let me just explain the comeback to you. Yeah, it's really cool to know, but Winfrey, because she's like you and she's like me. She's very down, man. She's cool.

And we were talking about something and she said about a person that was struggling. And I said to her, Oprah, you got to remember, a comeback is not a go back. A comeback is not a go back. Because if they try to keep going back and trying to fix this thing, they're gonna constantly be here and here's the two things they're gonna miss. They're gonna miss here and they're gonna miss here.

They'll never be present and they'll never be future. It's beautiful. Because they're always looking back, trying to fix it. So it's like a woman who's having trouble with their kids. And they're constantly just going back, trying to fix it, fix it, fix it, fix it. Had I's like a woman who's having trouble with their kids and they're constantly just going back trying to fix it fix it fix it fix it. Had I not got pregnant at 14 fixed it fix it fix it. A guy who's struggling fix it fix it fix it okay. So a comeback is this okay. Number one take responsibility for your bad choices.

And I work with, as you know, the most powerful people on the planet, but all over the world. I am life coaching people from all over the world, from India to South Africa, Europe, guys at own billion dollar companies. Number one, dog on it take responsibility. Man up. Okay. One super powerful celebrity you know. His manager said nobody has

ever talked to him that way. Nobody. You're lucky he didn't slam you up against the wall but yet you made the guy cry. Because I said to him, I said, your dad was even intimidated by you. I said, I'm not. I said, man, up. It admit what you just did. It's a story. I did it. I'm sorry.

I mean, the famous guy. So number one, man, take responsibility for what you did. Okay, so own it. Love it. Secondly, get help. If you're in quicksand, it's hard to get out on your own. So now the power of partnership comes in. Okay, I need help.

Okay, I got to go Bible on you again. Go. Pity the man who walks by himself, he cleanses the asses, for nine sests. Because if he falls, he has no one to pick him up. Most powerful men have nobody to pick him up. I'm gonna tell you a cool story that Smokey Robinson does not mind me telling the story.

Smokey Robinson was struggling with drug addiction. And nobody knew it. The William Smokey Robinson, one of my best buddies, okay? He was struggling with drug addiction. So he's in a big mansion struggling with drug addiction. His friend found out that he had been missing for days, keeps ringing the door, knocking the door, but he knows Smoky's gotta be in there, because no one can find who's gotta be in there. True story, goes to the shed, somehow finds an axe in a gigantic mansion.

Axes down the damn door. Finds Smoky, strung out on drugs, in the bathroom on the floor. These Smoky, strung out on drugs in the bathroom on the floor. These smoky robins strung out. Dying on the floor, his friend loved him enough to take a DMX and ax a door down. That's true partnership. That is true. Give me somebody with an ax.

No kidding, you're right. We all want that person with the ax. Man, I didn't even know that. I'd never have even heard that before. Yeah, that is powerful. That is powerful. So you got, I'm just processing this. So you got to take responsibility.

You got to ask for help. You got to ask for help. Okay, look for the right partners. But I want to partner with someone like you or me. Right. I want somebody that's been in the trenches. Yes, I agree. That's why they come to me.

Wow. They do come to you. I'm coming to you now. It's what's actually going to happen from here agree. That's why they come to me. Wow, they do come to you. I'm coming to you now. What's actually going to happen from here? But that's what they come to me, because I understand the crap. Yeah. My father died when I'm 10. My brother passes away because of drug problems.

I got pain. Yeah. I got pain. So I don't care how powerful the person is, and their pain may be as small to someone else. It's just TMZ did a story. I'm like, that's not that bad. I don't really think it, but they're like,

what am I gonna do? But I understand the pain, man. You gotta get somebody to understand. They turn their test into a testimony. They've been through it. You're the most inspiring person I've met. You are the most inspiring. My camera crew is nodding.

Because when you get a lot of folks together, I don't care. You're right. Man, it's risky business. The reason I started a church, because I wanna go after these people,

that they love God, but they've been hurt by religion. Oh boy. And so many have been hurt by religion, so many judgmental people, so many people, people, people down.
