We could just drink all night and then throw on a tunic and storm the castle the next day. Pretty awesome. I should sign up for one of your seminars for one of your programs, you know. We're not going to have as much time to say goodbye as you're going to wish that we did. I know that sounds grim and it's not really, you know, progressive or passive parenting. I get that. But I just want them to feel the value of time. I had the privilege of reading book, loved it, the book of Sheen,

Oh, thank you. You guys are up for the book of Sheen. We're going to give copies out. Say yes, the book of Sheen. Woo. Gover. Thank you. Thank you.

And let me just add. Just because you've seen the doc doesn't mean that you don't need to read the book. Yes. Yes. There's a lot of shit in the book that's not in the doc that I think is worthy of your time and energy. So thank you. And if I had the privilege, and I couldn't recommend it more. And if I had the privilege of sitting and chatting with Mr. Sheen alone, I would ask him 600 questions.

I'm not going to ask him here because I think they would be so fun and fascinating to like dig into, you know, in just a completely joyful voyeuristic way. But that wouldn't serve you or Mr. Sheen this moment. So I appreciate that. Yes, yes, yes. Thank you. And I'm going to venture to guess all this. these folks do as well. Yes. Yes. But I can say this, I get, if you've done something that you could look back on and go, oh my God, I cannot believe I did that. Raise your hand and say yes. Yes.

Yes. If you've done like 50 of those things, say yes. Yes. So I would love to compete with you someday for who has done more stupid and crazy things. So, and I think I might beat you. So. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. I really think that. That was fighting words. Yes, let's go. Let's go. So I can tell you a couple right now that you go, dude, like, really? But I think you got me. Yeah, okay.

Yep. So for everybody, for real, we're in this beautiful place of like unconditional love with boundaries. We're talking this a lot, Charlie, the space, and blinded, because it's really funny when people are like, could you believe they did that? And before we ever say they did that, it's like, what did we do? And how much do we squander? How much you screw up? and the net effect of anybody's life is to me what I'm hoping to look at and be inspired by.

So we said it before he came out. I don't know if you hear us back there, but just acknowledging you for the transcendent level of impact you've created and all these beautiful things you've done. And what was fascinating for me in the book was when you dug into in your childhood. I think it was you lived in the Philippines at some point during the filming of apocalypse now. Am I correct? Yes, correct.

Yeah. Could you share, like, what was it like? And it was in the book. It was so beautiful. Imagine like Francis Ford Coppola, you know, Martin Sheen as father. Like, they're living in a foreign land. I'm sure the, in the book outlines, certainly the advanced level of your emotional intelligence, your presence to a different world because of your dad. And so, but what was it like during that time? I thought it was so beautiful in the book. book and there was some challenging moments, you know, certainly for your dad, the family, other folks that were engaged in behavioral eccentricities in the world. Like, what would you want us to know about that and what did it mean to you, including nothing? And like every question I'm here is only if you think there's something valuable for you and the group. But what was that like apocalypse now, the Philippines?

And I think you were 14 when that was how? Is that, you know, I was 10. 10. I'm sorry. I was 10. Yeah. And I was there so long that I turned 11. Got it.

Because the joke on the set about the title was that they were starting to call it Apocalypse Never. And so, yeah, I mean, Francis threw a party one day to celebrate one million feet of film being shot. Wow. Yeah, no, it was interesting. Because we had traveled with Dad to a lot of his other locations. but you still felt like we still felt like we were still, you know, close enough to home to, that help was always, you know, just over the, just over the knoll, you know. And but in the Philippines, we, we knew that, I think I describe it in the book as an entirely

unexampled culture, you know. We didn't know what we were getting into. And the film had to overcome so many obstacles and so many hurdles. And, you know, from natural disasters to, you know, a very intense health crisis that my dad went through, you know. He had a heart attack making the movie, right? but then recovered and still went and killed Kurtz. So talk about an example of an absolute badass, right? That's a lot to live up to, you know.

But yeah, no, it's interesting. And the reason I spend a lot of time in the Philippines on Apocalypse in the book is just because it was a, it was in a formidable, you know, transitional time for me, you know, and yeah, I, I, I just, I, I, I, I kind of surrendered it at one point that that's pretty much where we were just going to be living. That that's, you know, that we'd just put Malibu in our rear view.

And it was just, Manila or bust, you know. But yeah, I mean, I, I, I, it's, it's difficult to really describe things, you know, just in a different way than I already did on the page, you know, and that's not like a cheap trick to say, well, now, you know, obviously you have to read the book to get the real story. But it's, what, what I, what I also think about with the pocket. is then, you know, 10 years later going back to that same faraway land to do platoon,

which is, and narrate it. And if you think about the odds of that happening, like the son of the guy a decade later, does his own Vietnam saga and narrates it, that's, I mean, what would you place the odds of that happening? Yeah. I like the age of the universe squared. Right? It's,

yeah. So I knew, and I don't really write a lot in the book about, you know, the, the, the, the,

the, the, the, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or,

I, I, I, I think you, I think you saw, I think you felt this reading the book or, or, or, or, or,

that happened. with that I don't want to tell the reader how they're supposed to feel about the things that I'm experiencing. And that that that's a fine line that that that that that you have to walk sometimes. And if I could. So for. Sure. Thank you for going right there. Didn't answer any part of your question.

You know you'd certainly. None of it. Right. No. That what I, what I just laid out was useless. Not even. It was useless. Yeah.

Not even. Sorry about that. Not even remotely. Not even really. Because that's exactly where I was going. Okay. It was the intersection of Apocalypse Now and Patoon. I got you.

Okay, cool. Yeah. And I had our AI agents helping prepare. I did. And what that would have been like, and we don't need to go into this in this moment. But you, your dad, the meaning, the possibility. I'm definitely not trying to manufacture emotional moments. I won't do that.

So, but yes, the size of the universe squared, the possibility. of these two iconic films in the history of our nation depicting its deepest, greatest, darkest, struggles in war and Martin Sheen, Charlie Sheen being in these just preposterously impactful movies. Am I hearing you correctly? What was the last thing you said? Am I hearing you correctly? Yes, yes. Absolutely.

Yeah. Yeah. So. Sorry. There's a feedback loop. Oh, sorry about that. Yeah. No, it's fine.

Work on that. Yeah. So your transition from the Philippines into and through your high school years, you have your, the eight camera, what is that called the Super 8 camera, Rob Lo, Sean Penn, filming, friendship, movies, things. How was that transition from like childhood into film? I mean, I think you were in your first film. Was it nine with your dad that you had an appearance in something?

thing? Or am I wrong about that? No, that is correct. Yeah, it was a movie the week called the Execution of Private Slovak. Got it. Yeah. And then the progression into your film career. And actually, before you go there, what now is the ultimate mission? You're here, you're everywhere, currently. You're impacting the book, the Netflix documentary. What's the ultimate why behind it? And of course, there's financial abundance, right? And there's generating value. But what's the meaning, the purpose and from like this day to the end, if anything?

Because like some people I ask that question to, they'll say, ah, just kind of live each day and trying to be happy and fulfilled. Sure. But is there this larger why that drives your heart, your soul, please? Well, the larger why as far as this moment right now with the doc, with the book. And incidentally, two projects that weren't planned to happen simultaneously. They just timed out that way. But I'm grateful that they did because I'm seeing it as an opportunity, not so much as a comeback, but as a reset, you know, just where,

because there's still, you know, there's a lot of people that may only remember, remember me as the guy, you know, in a freaking bowling shirt or screaming winning, you know. And so it's, it's, it's, it's important for me that, that, that with, with this amount of exposure, um, and, and, and all of it positive, you know, doing so many appearances that, that people just get a sense that the guy is not insane. He kind of, you know, wandered off the res, for about three or four months, right? And that that was highly publicized. And that's all on me.

I mean, it wasn't like I didn't know that there was a camera. You know what I'm saying? But so, no, so it's a really cool moment for me right now to just deal with so much from my past and stuff that people knew and other stuff that I've revealed that, you know, nobody knew. And just to kind of push everything, just present it in a way where you can watch it, you can read it, you can listen to it. And then I feel coming out of this that I can really focus on just moving forward, you know. Thank you.

Thank you. And if I may, and why? Like, so, yes, it's, first of all, it's so valuable what you're doing. Thank you. It really is. Because everybody in this room has suffered from times that they've lost center a bit. By the way, Michael Johnson, Michael Smiken, Adam Gugino, a friend of Valencia. If we played the audio and video of me in Atlantic City with,

the episodes for the commercials for the Aspire event and heard me the entire time and had the video of my pants being around my ankles as I was screaming and yelling. Do you think that the world would think I'm sane? Michael Johnson. Right? So, and I think this is a part of it. Like, you just, you're just on film more, you know, like, and these things are captured more. And so, I'm curious, you know, in my heart for, you know, you shared this piece. How much do you think this is just people overreact when people are famous and fundamentally overemphasize a moment of challenge that they themselves have probably been in in their life? Like, you know, so I'm, whatever, however you relate to is how you relate to.

it, but whether it's about you or just celebrities, athletes, Hollywood folk, anybody that's caught on camera in a moment, like how much do you believe in your heart that it's just this overstated distortion of reality that the public creates versus, yeah, it's like the human condition. I know, any thoughts? Yeah, no, I think we're living in a time where everybody's really has a thirst for the next spectacle, you know. But there's there's more, it feels like

there's more of that today. And I think just because it's, it's it's so easily documented. You know? It, I mean, how many cameras are in this room right now?

Trip, over a thousand, right? So, but I I think there's another, there's another element that comes into play with, with, with, with the amount of attention or, or, or, or, or, the amount of, um, focus that, that, that, that, that is given to one event or, or, or a particular individual, you know, I can use myself as an example. Um, I think it had a lot to do with, uh, with a, a, a, a multi-generational connection that I had built over the years through film, through television of a relationship, right?

That does in some way build a trust between an audience and the person that they're drawn to, the talent they're rooting for. So I think there was something in play

when I, you know, had that, had that grand departure from all things sane, I think people felt they were curious as hell, but I think they were also, they were concerned for my health, but they also felt in a way almost let down. Like I had broken some covenant or something that we had spent. years developing. Does that make sense? Yes, that's true. Yeah, it does, yes. Yeah, and I think that was a part of it, which I think is also connected to the reception

and the compassion and the love and the excitement that I'm encountering with this return, this, you know, this invite that's been extended back to, back into the fold, you know. So, yeah, I feel like people have missed me. Yes. Wes. Amen. So thank you. Thank you.

So I'm not wrong in feeling that. No, you're not wrong. Okay. Okay. So thank you. Thank you. So why? Why?

I have my own ideas about why people love you and appreciate you and value. you, right? Yes. But what do you? So, because we, and this is part of what we're here to teach, right, is how people become influential. And he's, we're here like trying to teach things. We are. Believe it or not. Yes. So if, if not, I could ask you about that night you wrote about in the book. I'm just kidding. Right. So we are. And what we're looking to do, that's what I do for a living. I got it. Your personal law firm, we teach people how they can generate more financial abundance. Okay.

More time freedom and impact. And so I was on my way to going blind and being broke. I did how to do it. My college baseball career, captain the team, dot, dot, dot, I was going to get drafted. That I have right now as pigmentosa. Same eye condition as Steve Webb, you know, a quick background. And so I don't want to go blind to be broke. So I don't want to be a business person.

I wanted to be an athlete. It wasn't going to happen. So I had to figure out how you do things. And all of a sudden discovered marketing and sales were a thing. I was horrified and disgusted because I thought marketing and selling was gross and bad. And I was going to be a high school baseball coach, football coach, but I didn't go blind and be broke and do that.

So I had to figure out how to succeed. I went to Ivy League undergrad. I went to law school. And nowhere could I find how to do that. So that was my search, it worked. I created massive freedom, my massive financial abundance. In my own little mini way, I became microfamous within certain ecosystems of business and opportunity,

which is something I teach. So what we're here to do is to study that. And one of the principles we talk about, and it's a very codified mechanism. We're a stand for the fact that we're the best in the world in teaching and doing this. It bets out with all kinds of fun people for codification of it, et cetera. So why I say that is because you have, we all have, a level of heroic unique identity that causes people to be drawn to us. And so how I would describe your heroic unique identity is that you are incredibly funny. You're brilliant.

You're witty, right? You're loving. You've played heroic characters. You know, you died for your brother. And, you know, Red Dawn. You went for it in Wall Street, lost yourself, violated covenant with your father, refound it. You turned in the true evil-doer of the movie, of course, Gordon Gecko.

You reset yourself, you know, and then you went into comedy and television or Pacaosa. I'm sorry, Platoon. So you have all of these, this various elements of your personality that show your resiliency, your wit, your diversity. So those characteristics are magnetic. Like that's not not the same thing that you could say about a number of other mega Hollywood celebrities like yourself. Or Muhammad Ali or Sugar Ray Leonard. These are universal characteristics in that, you know, Joseph Campbell's hero's journey that you represent.

And as you articulated a moment ago, and then you had your moment where you went off, some of those characteristics went off the track. But of course, the hero's journey is about resiliency. So with the depth of love, you've created for yourself, it isn't challenging because you had so much identity, so powerfully magnetized. Then the fact, I think people love the comeback even more than they love you staying there the entire time. It's why after Ali lost a Frazier and comes back.

So I see some of those elements, I don't see, they're clearly demonstrated what you're experiencing right now. This is like what we teach here. But what I'm curious about is how you relate to that. You know, do you, why do you think people love you? And like how you're loved. It's clear. I mean, obvious, you know, right? You walk down the street, it will stop you, you the extra autograph.

You're famous. You're one of the most famous people in America. That's absolutely true. It was true. Before the last couple of months, it's been true for much of your life. why do you think that people I give you some my thoughts you know why do you believe people love you so much please i i think that um there's been a consistency that that that i i think folks um they i think they applaud the fact that that that that i've i've maintained a level of honesty that that that i've maintained a level of honesty

that has been a through line from, you know, right when I started, you know, getting the attention and just never, never, never betrayed that. You know, if things went sideways or, you know, off the rails, whatever, I was, I was always the guy that owned it. I was always the guy that's here for that. You know what I'm saying? So thank you. Thank you. So I think I think that's a big part of it because if you if you look at at that specific terrain in my industry, that's not usually the case.

You know, people don't usually, they're usually looking to, you know, have a fall guy or some fantastical alibi that nobody believes. leaves, you know. So, I mean, that, that's just the main thing that comes to mind as far as the why. And I won't, I certainly will reveal any of the amazing, super interesting, inspiring, funny, crazy moments in the book. Thank you. Yes. But it is. And one of the things I didn't see the book and maybe I missed it, was you ever blaming anyone? So consistent with what you're just sharing, it seemed that you were always presenting a reality, sharing it, accepting responsibility, being so uber transparent. But if anywhere the finger was pointed in the book, it was at yourself. Am I recounting that accurate?

100%. You are. 100%. Yeah, because if I blame people, then I'm presenting myself as a victim. And there are no victims in my book. Thank you. So is it also accurate to say that some of the things you, first of all, do you feel comfortable saying things that you love about yourself or respect about yourself or proud of these words that are accurate? I don't want to like have inaccurate questions. So are the things about yourself that you love and respect and are proud of? Are there those things? I'm not the best person to rely on for, you know, accessing that, that type of stuff about myself.

I think that's, I see others doing that. And it's nothing that I'm, that's not something I'm, I'm drawn to, you know, but I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm drawn to. But I, I, I, I. I mean, no, I do take credit for the accomplishments and the perseverance and the discipline and the focus and the longevity and all that stuff. But I don't ever really think about, you know, I'm a good guy. I mean, I just based on the response of others, I'd like to think that that there is a goodness that should. shines through just and just, you know, walking around, just in my daily life, you know. How do you or not, if you don't mind, relate to the concept of self-love, loving yourself?

Like, it doesn't, yeah, like, how does that statement, like, yeah, if somebody in the audience said, or if somebody said, hey, I love myself, like, is that, how do you relate to that or not, just self-love? I look at it more as if I'm doing things that I know are really healthy or positive or just, you know, that I'm tapped into a frequency that I thrive inside of. I view that as a form of self-love. But I don't like take inventory at the end of the day or really try to break things down before I. before I've been engaged, you know, it's, you know, I should, I should, I should sign up for one of your seminars. One of your, one of your programs, you know.

Yeah. If you think, if you think that we would have a lot of fun, Charlie and I say yes. Yes. So, so, yes. Fire at LBI. So, and I am in awe to be sitting here. Oh, thank you. I pinch myself by being here.

That's amazing. It is a blessing. Thank you. Thank you for that at the highest level. I do. So I'm just, you know, a kid that grew up in Jersey City and, you know, born in hospital with a living in the house. My parents are divorced. My grandfather was blind.

So the thought of being here is a blessing. And it is also, I think, predictable for every. everybody here to learn how to do that. And that, again, is our work, which you are a stand for. And so from that place, you know, if, and again, I always ask, I don't want to presume things and questions that are accurate. Sure. But do you ever think about what you'd want to feel and think on your last day,

if you're blessed and privileged to know was your last day? if you were to be spoken, I've ever remembered are these things that you do think about, whether it's from a higher vibration or a healthy place or just no place. Or is it, because I do relate to people sometimes. So like, oh, like my world, my life is about, you know, I take it every day at a time, I try to live my best thing and I keep it right here. Like, what's that all about for you? Like, like, how, like, what, how would I want to spend my last day if I knew it was the last day? No, no, if you could fast forward to that day, what would you like? What would you want to have accomplished between now and then, or you don't even think that way or feel that way?

You know, is there that for you and your legacy to be? I actually fantasize about that more in a comedic setting that the people that would be in the room, right? Please. That I can say to all of them, this is the day that I kept talking about to all of you, that all of that stuff that that that you know all of that time that you took from me for me having to

engage in your bullshit you know this is this is the day when I really need that time back because because that is amazing unbelievable

because you know with as much that that that was absconded with this wouldn't be the last day this would probably be my last month you know I hope that I am not in that camp

at the end no not even close no but I do actually tell my sons I tell them you know we're going to be on my deathbed and because I'm solving this thing for you again we're not going to have as much time

to say goodbye as you're going to wish that we did. You know, I know that sounds grim, and it's not really, you know, progressive or passive parenting. I get that. But I just want them to feel the value of time, the value of time.

No. You know? Let's hear about that. So, so, oh, and also, I'm not dying in a hospital. Okay. I'm not dying in a, I don't care

what's going on health-wise. Where would you want to die? I'd be in tropical waters. Beautiful. What do you like to do for fun? I'm sorry? What do you like to do for fun? Oh, we didn't finish the dying part.

Oh, I'm sorry. Let's go back to dying. Yes. It's really tough. Please. No, I just, I see people. I've seen people. People I love dying hospitals.

And I just, I'm just not, that's not, that's a picture I can't paint for myself, you know. So I would go somewhere beautiful with, with people I cared about and others I'd just met. And just, you know, keep an emergency dose of something if it got too painful. You know, I mean, you've got to plan ahead. Sure. Yeah, and just, you know, confronted on my terms. That's awesome. Even though you're in a moment where it's like you, like the absolute, like the most grand example of not being in control of that moment, you know.

Amen. But you know what? Yeah, maybe spend a little more energy on the living stuff. Yes. on the stuff like right here right now. And, you know, like in a situation like today, you never really know what the moment is going to be

until you're in the middle of it, you know? But today, I just, I wish to have more time again to have done a little more research just about, you know, what all of this is. I was, I was given the, I was given the cliff notes.

I was given the cliff notes and and given a, um, a, a, a, a pretty, uh, legit, uh, deep dive into you, right. And so, uh, and, and, and honored to, to, to be here. And, and, and, and, and thank you. Um, and it, uh, so, yeah. So, yeah, so this is a little bit on the fly just kind of putting, putting, putting the, the pieces together. So I'm not going to say I'm totally up to speed right now. But I'm getting,

I'm getting close. Entirely intentional. Entirely intentional. Okay, good. Yes. Good. So, and I know as we, we draw towards our last few moments together. Not on the planet.

Just fucking. Just. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay, okay, good. I'm hoping. I'm hoping.

Okay. Amazing. So, you are amazing. Oh, thank you. Thank you. You see the power of fun and humor and wit. You say yes. So, kind of says, how do you?

What, if anything, was your training in humor? Or was it natural model? Did you have somebody you looked after and taught, picked up from on screen? Like, how would you support these people and getting some access? to a micro fraction of the wit of Charlie Shee. Oh, gosh, thank you. No, I grew up in a very humor-filled household. You know, my dad is just a jokester, you know.

And he'll always, he'll lead with humor. And then, you know, decide based on whatever happens to be next. But no, it was just, it was the influences. I grew up on sitcoms. I grew up on, you know, the comedic influences of what were some of your favorites. Like Woody Allen and Mel Brooks. And, you know, later on, you know, George Carlin, Rodney. Dangerfield.

I mean, just like these geniuses, you know, but I always related to the straight man. You know, I had a ton of respect for the person, for the clown or the jester, right? The zany person with the handling that part of it. But like, you know, my favorite character, I'm totally dating. myself on

Get Smart is the chief is Ed Platt. You know, so even if you look at a lot of the comedy that I've done, I'm always the anchor. I'm the guy in the eye of the storm and everybody else is that that maelstrom that cyclone around me,

you know? So that's where I feel comfortable. That's where I feel that there's, I'm much, more attracted to the subtlety of humor and not like in an intellectual sense, but just in the simplicity of it, if that answers your question. Oh, thank you. And that's what we're here for. You know, we're here to dig into those types of elements.

So thank you. Massively helpful. Oh, right on. Yeah, awesome. So any, like, what do you do for fun? and enjoyment. That was not a joke. I mean, fun for me is a weird word

because there's been so many different definitions of that word versions but then yeah, what do I do for fun? What do I do for fun? I mean, I don't have to seek fun. There's fun in everything that I do just by doing it.

You know what I'm saying? Yes. Yeah. Yeah, because I never say, hey, if we do this, we're going to have fun. Because guess what happens? You never do. You get there and it sucks. And so I think just,

Again, it's, it's, I, I can find humor in everything. And even if it's just me in an internal, private, secret monologue walking around, some of the jokes work, some of them suck. And, but it just, it keeps it light. And that doesn't mean that I'm not in the moment engaged, right? But it just, all the voices in my head are all me, right? So it's not one of those things. But, but, yeah, there's a lot of dialogue that is sort of a soundtrack to everything that I do.

So that is fun for me. That's literally fun. And I guess this will be, I think, maybe if you have time just for one question from audience. Oh, of course. Yeah. So is there a. hey, this would be something I'd like to have happen in the future, whether it be in projects, impact. Is there anything like that? Or, again, is it more just, hey, you're rolling and,

like, how do you make decisions about where things go next? Like, what projects you're accepting. Is it fit into a larger, you know, sort of vision for Charlie Sheen? Or she's like, project by, hey, that's cool. That's fun. Like that. Like, how does that fit together or not? Well, I, you know, for the first time in a very long time, I'm reading material that's at a level I haven't been, I haven't had access to in forever. And I think what the doc did that really helped is it took everybody through the filmic journey and through all the archival, you know, just to remind people that this thing didn't start out, you know, with comedic intent, you know. And so that's been a really powerful and beneficial reminder to, you know, the folks I have to rely on to get work, right? that they're that i what i'm hearing now is that that people are excited about me

returning to something uh dramatic something intense something uh you know i i've i've i've never played a detective and people people could say oh you did the rookie i'm like no no no no that that was we were like um two guys uh you know we like stolen cars is what what was our was our division, G-Rides, they call them, me and Clint Eastwood. Yes, I'm very little. Yeah. But I've never played like a hardened, down on his luck detective who's, you know, who caught that either the case he could never solve or the one that's going to make a break or define

his career. And those are the shows that I'm, that I really lean into, that I'm a huge fan of, you know. So if something like that happens because of all of what's happening, then absolutely. I don't really believe in manifesting stuff. But I do believe in being aware of when the energy is moving in a specific direction. And that's what I can feel is on the path. Awesome. And this is definitely also not a manifesting space as well. Just like, I didn't say he said that, but to be clear, this is more like sports peak performance.

So like business peak performance would be how like this room relates, like lawyers accounts, finance, service, there's real estate deal. Yeah. So I don't, I don't see you like chanting into Christians and all that. That's Bella, Verita. Bella, are you here? Yeah. We had her rescued from, that's more of your coast that she said. Yes.

stuff like this way. Yeah. So the, how about is there a favorite role? I know words are particular. Or is there something you just truly enjoy differently than everything else? It was all kind of the same as all these beautiful, incredible things you've done. Is there a one, two, three, or a couple to top? Or they're all kind of, you know, they all are very meaningful to you.

How about that? You mean that I've done? Yeah, your roles from the past. Oh, gosh. the stuff that I like this just seems like from another lifetime it seems so long ago people ask me

well what's what's your favorite movie and I like to say I haven't made it yet yeah let's hear for that that's what I mean but as far as the stuff that I that I exist that I've been in that like what

The most fun I've ever had on a film was the Three Musketeers. Really? Yeah. I love the Three Musketeers, by the way. Yeah. Thank you. No, they sent us to Vienna. They overpaid everybody.

They gave me 28 days off. And, yeah, we would just drink all night and then throw in a tunic and storm the castle the next day. It was pretty awesome. It was pretty awesome. Yeah. Good times. That is super fun. The hardest job.

The hardest film job. was platoon hands down but rewarding um the hardest job period i've ever had and the most rewarding was was was was writing that damn book really yeah why i didn't use a ghostwriter wow yeah i i thought that would be completely inauthentic and i felt like um then it's not then i'm you haven't written your book you've just told the stories to someone you've known for an hour And I wouldn't have, I don't have the language for it. Maybe you do. But there's a, there's a tone and a mechanism of delivery of the book I've never seen before.

Oh, thank you. Yeah. For real. Thank you. Is there, do you have a phraseology for? I don't know. I, I, I, I, it was sheened? Like, how's that?

Yeah. Yeah, I had to, I just tried to sheen it up. But I, I, I wanted to write how I, I thought. think and then I wanted to write in a rhythm that I like to read. Selfishly, I wanted to just have the audience, have the reader feel like they fell into something welcoming, comfortable. And I also wanted them to feel. And again, I'm not trying to tell you how to feel with the book. I said that about a half an hour ago. But just to create this vibe that you've not just opened a book, but you've stepped inside of a movie.

Yeah. You know? And it lands that way. Again, I'm pretty strong with language and description, but it really is a unique way. Thank you. I think of seeing inside of your heart, your mind, your being, like you'll describe. It truly is. And there's some words that I couldn't find the existing words for things I needed to describe a certain way.

so I just made some shit up but people read it and they say well yeah of course that needs to be a word and I'm like well it kind of is now what level if you believe and know this man is an absolute

genius say yes oh shocks come on now thank you and I don't say we do I say what I do not mean yes we do not like that's a big part of our space Like, we don't ingratiate, but we acknowledge mastery.

Sure. James Prudian, are you here? Okay, so James' mom's in the hospital. Are we going to give him the one question we're going to have for you, police from the audience? That's okay. Of course. I know James for decades. Chiropractor in Jersey, amazing man.

His mom is really fighting for her life. She is an amazing insane fan. So it's the fact that James is asking you a question. Oh, wow. 10 on 10. So, James, what would your question? Hey, James. How are you?

Mr. Charlie Sheen. And she is like what I call her, Zora Victor. of the event. Let's get a mic for James. I showed her a picture of the event. And I always point to my friend Sean, who I've known for much 30 years. Right. She goes, that's Charlie Sheen.

And I said, yeah, ma'am. She goes, you tell him, as she is cancer. Her eyes, you tell him, I've seen every one of his shows, not once, twice. Wow. And wow. My name is Mary. And I've been a huge fan of your movies. And my question is for those of us who grew up undersized,

shorter, bullied, thank you for Lucas. Oh, right on. I mean, Rudy gets all the credit, but that was just an amazing movie. Oh, right on. Thank you. And the other thing that I just can't, many people don't know, is the first time I remember seeing you in a movie that was so impactful was sort of a cameo at the end of Ferris Buse the day off.

Most people don't know you were in there. And I just got to tell you, you are awesome. Oh, thank you. Oh, thank you. But thank you so much. My mother, Mary, says hello. Oh, okay. Well, will you send a message back to Mary?

She wants a picture of me and you together, if that's okay. We'll get that in the room. Yeah, I mean, that's, that's easy. Okay. Easy woman. Yeah. Is she going to, is she going to recover? Is she going to make it?

Is she going to? Most like, or do we still know? know most likely um before Christmas I'm sorry yeah yeah okay yeah yeah my best friend I'm sorry all right well um she uh she's out a good place at home right now okay it's not in the hospital all right well there you go let's go there you go how about that and she and she made that point when you said it you took me up because that's what she said to the oncologist. I'm going home.

Get me out of her. All 95 pounds of her. Wow. Four foot 10 Armenian woman and an amazing human. She said, wow. Okay. This is really powerful. Yeah.

Can she, I mean, can she, do you call her? Does she get on the phone? Oh, yeah. Okay. Then let's you and I get on the fucking phone with her. Right. Okay. Absolutely.

All right. So we'll do that. Thank you. We'll do that. Done. Thank you. It's the least I could do. Thank you so much.

My pleasure. And that's the power of identity and the heart of the man like Charlotte. Thank you, Charlie. So I know that you have people to see, places to go, and I know we have a moment for our certification partner and elite that are going to have the privilege of seeing you for a moment in a little bit. And if I could ask this as just a final question for this is a room full of people that want to see their life grow. and they want to be involved in projects that matter for the rest of their life. And they want to feel that sense of purpose and fulfillment that we don't want to feel. And what would you have as a message for them?

And absolutely, in whatever way, Charles, you want to deliver it, that they could take away that would make their life a little better. Maybe it's access to humor. Maybe it's having the special potion, you have in your pocket for the end. But whatever it would be as a message from you, to them in what we call a final final from Charlie Sheen. I mean, yeah, something

I really wish that I had tapped into a lot sooner. And I do actually, I think I mentioned this in the book. If is just this idea of, and this is something you have

to consciously like lean into is trying to not to take things so personally. I'm telling you, that may not mean anything right now, but if you start to look back in a lot of situations that didn't turn out or didn't, you just were not, didn't bring the result that you wanted or however that manifest, it's, it's, it's, that is like, I don't, I don't believe in regrets, but I do believe in learning from. you know, a lot of stuff we wish we could do over. And that's just, you know, just looking back on things, it's the one question I asked myself, why did I take everything so freaking personally?

And so I think there's value in that. And I think there's freedom in that. That's just the nugget that feels germane to today. Amen. And if you think there's massive value in that for you? Let's hear it. Mr. Charlie Sheen has been an honor and a privilege. I could not thank you enough for taking the trip here.

I thank Darren Prince and a more hug. Thank you. God bless you. Thank you all very much. May it all happen. If you know you've been in the presence of a master on your feet, one more time. What's here for Charlie.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
