“I think I grew up in a tough environment. I had four different fathers. My mom was a very intense and passionate woman. We never had any money. We were very, very poor. My mom was probably the most important influence of my life by far. Very loving woman, but very stressed woman and under that stress she drank alcohol and took prescription drugs. And when she did that, she became very violent. So I took the brunt of that and then figured out how to manage her emotions, basically. That's where all my beginning training really happened. And yet at the same time, she was loving and she pushed me. She believed in me. She wanted me to be something. So she influenced my life in so many beautiful ways. And then probably changed my life the most, though, is my forefather especially made it clear no one gives a damn about anybody else. We lived in what I thought was an upper class community or city, but we were on the other side of the tracks. It was lower middle class. We were literally right by the railroad tracks where the worst of the worst.”

“I grew up in a tough environment. I had four different fathers. My mom, she drank alcohol and took prescription drugs. We had no money, no food. And then the thing that changed my whole life was a knock on the door on Thanksgiving. There was this tall guy standing there with two bags of groceries and an uncooked frozen turkey in a pan. And my dad saw this man. He said, we don't take charity. And he went and slammed the door on the guy, but it became a very useful indistinction for me about how he and I process that day differently because there's three decisions you make every moment of your life. And the real problem is the story you have. For example, that day my dad's focus was de facto enough at his family and he was worthless. However, I took that as strangers care. And so the story is the belief you've told yourself over and over because belief is the invisible force that controls everything in your life. And then there's the third decision, what am I going to do? And so what I decided to do is someday I'm going to do this for others and suffering where I can. And so I'm going to show you how to get clear what you really want, figure out what's been stopping you, put the plan in place.”

“I'm trying not to cry. I'm just like, I hate suffering. I've suffered myself. And so I hate to see anybody suffer. And so this is my mission. This is what I'm made for. And I'm just one guy. I can't do everything, but I can do a lot. I always try to help people say, How could you turn your worst day into your best day?”
