I'm the best, but he never won a championship without Angelo Dundee and Michael Jordan never won a championship without Phil Jackson, so you have to have someone who can see something in you that you can't see and who can take you away. to a place inside you that you can't go alone Hello everyone, welcome to

man great, thank you, thank you, it's a pleasure to be here my friend, it's so good to have you, you are an incomparable motivational preacher and I use that word very intentionally.

You have a way of conveying a message with goosebump-inducing, empowering chills, it's truly extraordinary to witness and it becomes so much more powerful knowing that you didn't start there, that didn't come naturally, you know your beginning and you've called life a battle for turf, yeah, what do you mean the things you get in life, you know, Frederick Douglass said we may not get

everything

we fight for, but all we get will be a fight , so I? I love the quote that life is a fight for territory and once you stop fighting for what you want, what you don't want will automatically take over, like getting ready to come here to see you.

First of all, I want to thank you for the great work that you are doing, I watch you and study you, and you have had incredible guests that have

impact

ed my life and I am preparing to come here. I am being treated in cancer centers in the United States for stage four cancer, which I have been kicking. butt for 27 years and I've been working towards a six pack before I got here. I still have a pack and have been working on getting some muscles so I can wear my t-shirt, but they weren't big enough. I put on a long sleeve, that's awesome, man, tell me about cancer.

You've had such an optimistic attitude about it. It is truly extraordinary. It was your initial reaction. Did you go through a point of despair when you were first diagnosed? How did you frame yourself? That doctor Alfred Golson who has since passed away was a very unusual guy and he told me that Mr. Brown has cancer, I said, can you give him a second opinion? He said yes and you are ugly too I said oh my God so I didn't do it you have the opportunity to be afraid because those three words you have cancer three of the most feared words in seven different languages ​​I saw it as a fight and from that moment on up to this point my psa was four 2400 and that means prostate specific androgen and now it is below zero and has metastasized to seven areas of my body, which was good because seven is my lucky number.

Well, then no, I was never afraid of dying from it and I think I read something. by dr norman primos wrote a book called the biology of hope and he talked about the fact that when something happens to you you don't deny it, you challenge it and i was defiant that i was going to get through this. To handle this, there are people who often times, when something happens to them, they embrace it from a place of fear and that brings them out and Elsie Robinson said that things can happen to you and things will happen around you, but the most important things are the things that They happen to you and you have to get up inside yourself and deal with it and deal with it so fortunately it never bothered me but I had cytokine pain that made me talk to unknown bullies and I was in a wheelchair for several months talking from milking a wheelchair and it was something I dealt with that scared me will this ever end it was 24 hours I lost a lot of sleep it was exhausting going to all kinds of specialists in and out of the country and only one day it stopped and I'm glad I over that, you know, I just feel like when you go through some things, there are certain things you never want to see or get, that's what I should see again. but fear hasn't been the biggest challenge that I've faced with the things that I've been facing in terms of my health, well, talk to me about the process that you go through mentally, so there have been a few moments in your life. knowing your story, they seem like really key turning points, being told you're teachable, but mentally, that's probably something that would define most people and they'd find it hard to escape that, being told you have cancer.

It's stage four and they don't know how to treat it like it's something that consumes most people, how do you build that resilience? So maybe by the time you get to cancer you've already worked hard, so maybe I understand what that's like. When you are, you are protected by the mechanisms that you have built, but in the beginning, how did you manage to get out from under the labels that people put on you? The easiest thing I did was get out from under the labels and To live the life I live, the hardest thing I've ever done in my life was believe I can do it.

What is the difference? The difference is that when you don't know what's impacting you and it's something that's stopping you and you don't know, the great anthropologist Margaret Mead was in a restaurant in London and a guy was serving her and he told her that there were several Americans here tonight and She said, "Yes, let me know when you serve them dessert." tell you exactly how many are here he said oh you couldn't and then she came

back

and said okay I did it and she got up and walked and came

back

and said there's about 25 here and she looked at the list how did you know that?

Let's say in America we eat differently than you when we eat a dessert, you eat it from the crust to the tip, we eat it from the tip to the crust when you eat a piece of pie, how do you do it? you eat yours, definitely yes, from the tip to the crust, you sure do, okay, and there are things that when you are in my situation you live in a dominant culture that is designed to destroy your sense of self and your belief in yourself. and you have to learn ways in which you can begin to connect with this power that you have within yourself to manage where you are.

The key is to constantly be in a perpetual process of discovering the truth of who you are and constantly striving to look. To find ways that you can escape the self-talk, I talk to audiences all over the world and I also coach speakers and tell them that when you speak, there is a goal that you want to achieve when you speak to an audience. because the way people live their lives as a result of the story that they believe about themselves, so you as a speaker, when you speak on this show, when people watch you, what you do is you distract from the dispute and inspire, distract to the people of your current story with your guests and the questions you ask through the process of continuous questioning and the way they respond and the things they have learned, you dismantle their current belief system and inspire them to create a new chapter in their lives, etc., but that is an ongoing process. to constantly interrupt that conversation, what psychologists call your self-explanation style because life is going to hit you in many ways and many things come back, you know, negative thoughts and how you feel about yourself don't die. they come back once you stop doing the maintenance work in your mind listening to motivational messages going to seminars and workshops spending time quietly listening to the small, still voice within who I really am am this really me am I doing my best am I just reflecting what is? around me because all of these things affect how we present ourselves in life and therefore having a strategy to find ourselves continually reaching higher or robert schuller had a book it's not very popular but I loved it it's called peak by peak, peak by peak because you are constantly reaching higher to discover and discover your best self.

Yeah, I want to talk about that difference so you have the notion of finding out who you really are and I guess you mean under the labels so people tell me that. I'm not smart, but that's not necessarily true, so I want to get to that layer of what I'm actually capable of doing, but you also talk about us having this profound capacity to change and you talk about people needing to be relentless. I tirelessly pursue that growth. I find that juxtaposition incredibly interesting where you have a real you that you would maybe call potential and then there's actualized potential, that's how you see it or there's something else, absolutely there's a real you.

I know Richard Wright said it best, he said that the urge to dream has been slowly removed from me through life experiences, so when you live in a culture that is designed to destroy your sense of self to the point of that you are marginalized, where you have a feeling of hopelessness and helplessness and you are terrified I remember going downtown with my mother and I saw a water fountain I think I was about five years old and I ran and drank from the water fountain, suddenly she grabbed me by the neck and said, never do that again and he started hitting me in the back of the head and in the face and he threw me to the ground, he hit me relentlessly, relentlessly and I said mom, please, it's me, mom, it's me with this crazy look . in her eyes and then a white police officer came and he had a baton in his hand, he was hitting it with his left hand, he said, okay, you've hit that kid enough, now I won't have to hit him with this baton and he walked away. laughing and my mother collapsed and started crying and saying Leslie I'm so sorry I'm so sorry I said mom why did you hit me like that she said these water fountains are for white only children and if that rug hit me with her baton she would have to kill me. , I would have fought him until he killed me and I left you and your brothers and sisters alone to get up on your own, I am so sorry and the book called Learned Optimism Sillaman talks about the The fact that between the ages of 0 and 5 We determine what is available to us and what is not available to us and that was a defining moment.

I knew there were certain things I couldn't do, certain places I couldn't go. They used to have signs in Miami Beach. That being said, no Jewish dogs or cullets are allowed, so now you have to operate within the limitations of dominant society and the things they have created for you and it is a challenge to see yourself beyond that and work your way out. of that even after. Those laws have changed because that has become such a part of you that you unconsciously operate within the parameters of what has been established, like if you are driving down highway four or five and you get off at an exit where You weren't going in that direction but you did it unconsciously because you've done it so many times that many people are not making a conscious, deliberate and determined effort to think beyond what life has thrown at them. you end up doing the same thing over and over again Einstein said that the thinking that has brought me here has created some problems that this thinking cannot solve and so through relationships through reading through studies through goals and Dreaming beyond your comfort zone allows you to start living from your imagination instead of your story.

Disney said that imagination is a preview of what is to come and that is why when I was a child I dreamed a lot about taking care of my mother. I used to go with her to work cleaning houses and she supported her children andI cooked for these wealthy families. My mother could bake a sweet potato pie so good that you couldn't eat it with your shoes on or you had to take off your shoes to move your toes. Toes and I used to look at these big, beautiful mansions and say Mom, what's up Leslie? When she makes me a man, I will buy you a big, beautiful house like this.

Oh, you don't have to do this. I said I know, but you didn't have to adopt us either and you did. So I am here with you because the two women, one gave me life, the other gave me love, God took me out of the womb of my biological mother and put me in the heart of my adoptive mother and by her example and my love for her and the passion. that I felt in my heart I have to do something to make her proud I have to do something to put myself in a position to be able to take care of her that drove me Nietzsche said if you know the wife of life, you can endure almost anything, Jesus, that was a lot.

I want to return to this notion of dominant culture. You look so young. I forget how long you've been walking this planet. 75. I am 75 years old. It's amazing, man. So thank you, you're so optimistic, you're so positive, you laugh so quickly, going back to the way that the dominant culture can dismantle so many people, what are the ways that the dominant culture is dismantling people's creativity, your current spirit? That's why people should be attentive, just think about if you are an immigrant and you are watching television and you see people who can come from white cultures without any problem, like the president's in-laws, but people of color who come from other countries.

They separate them from their children and put them in cages and there is silence, there are millions of people protesting and saying that this is not what we are as a country, this is inhumane, I believe that we all have a responsibility that we want to live. a life that will outlive us the work that you are doing there are people that you will never meet whose lives you have transformed that you are living a life that will outlive you just think about the fact that this program has Given the hope of many people and there is hope in the future, It gives you power in the present.

Every 40

seconds

someone commits suicide, but because of something you say or because of some guest you've invited and while they're sharing their story, you interrupt that story. of being desperate and helpless and not wanting to be here anymore and because they took the time to watch you create an experience. Oliver Wendell Holmes said that once the mind of a man or woman has expanded with an ideal concept or experience, they could never be satisfied. to return to where I was and so at the end of the program at the end of one of your presentations there are people who, thanks to you, their lives will be transformed and they will become a pencil, as Mother Teresa would say, in the hand of God and begin to write a new chapter with their lives.

I want to talk about it, write a new chapter. So you've talked about the little voice that people have the need to create a quiet listening space that combines that with the notion of the type of culture. of undermining people and whether it's based on race and oppression or whether it's just the school system teaching you to be a good cog in the machine or whatever else people have to fight against, how can people listening to this now? especially if it's an adult who's had all these labels put on them and their creativity has been stifled, what process do you follow to hear the voice?

What kind of communion can you do to create that imagination that will allow you to get out of that? and move towards something new that's why you and your team designed this program so that they do what they have to expose themselves to something that gives them a different vision of themselves and in addition to that they have to put themselves in a community of what I call oqp only quality people, a gentleman who dramatically transformed my life, I was a junior at Booker T Washington High School in Miami, Florida and I went to his class looking for another friend and he told me, go to the meeting and work on this . problem for me I said sir, I can't do that he said why didn't I say I'm not one of the students he said do it anyway. and the other kids started laughing saying he's leslie, he's dt and he said what's dt, he's his brother he's smart but he's the dumb twin and I said I'm sir and he came from behind his desk and told me He pointed and said no.

Do you ever say that again? Someone's opinion of you doesn't have to become your reality and he taught me three things. He said if you want to be successful in life, young man, he said number one, you have to change your way of thinking, he said no. get in life what you want you get in life what you are number two practice oqp only quality people who earn between two and three thousand dollars from your closest friends I found out I left all my friends bankrupt I said they all had to go because I used to be so broke that I walked by the bank and set off the alarm, you know, and the third thing is to develop your communication skills because once you open your mouth you tell the world who you are, he said, those are the three main things you want to work on.

That will free you from living in Liberty City, living in poverty and in the city, it will help you escape from where you are now because I see you looking at me and I know you want more. I can see the hunger in your eyes, which is why my book is about to come out called You Have to Be Hungry I love that idea I love that title So how do people get hungry? It makes you hungry to find something that is you. I believe we are all born unique, but most of us dye copies. you have to figure out what turns you on, what resonates with you, one of the things that I realized that allowed me to be successful as a speaker.

The speaking industry has been hijacked by people who speak to sell and it's okay to do that and make money I speak to change lives because someone spoke and changed my life so this is my passion this is my drive this is something I feel in my heart and that's why the key to that hunger driven life is a heart centered life I didn't do what I'm doing for years because of my programming because of the culture I grew up in. I saw other people with degrees, doctorates, masters and credentials that I don't have and I convinced myself that I couldn't do it, but Mr.

Washington that day we became friends and he taught me that not only does someone's opinion of you have no why determine your reality, but he said that you have to work on yourself and you have to have an unstoppable attitude and no excuse is acceptable and you must make it a priority, something non-negotiable in your life and maintain a constant vision of what you want to achieve, see it achieved and do

everything

you can to find a way to achieve it. win despite setbacks despite disappointments despite your failures I tell people when I'm giving presentations you will fail on your way to success I have a saying when life knocks you down trying to land on your back because if you can look ahead up, you can rise up, and so those experiences of pursuing goals that are beyond your comfort zone and having relationships that challenge you and surrounding yourself with coaches and mentors that can take you to a place within yourself that you can't go. just because you can't read the label when you're locked in the box and those experiences challenge you to go to the next level and continue moving forward in your life doing new and exciting things that eye has not seen ear has not heard know in the heart of humanity what god has in store for you when you live a centered life deciding that you're going to live a life that will outlive you you're going to live a life that tells a life that will build a legacy and change the planet you know horror man said we should We are ashamed to die until we have made an important contribution to humanity, so my goal is to make an important contribution to humanity.

I am a father of ten and five children. and five girls I'm suing the people who came up with the rhythm method the method to work you know I have rhythm but arithmetic doesn't work well and I have 15 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren and so on every day when I wake up my way of thinking is what? What can I do to touch and impact someone's life today? what is it? What does that look like to see you? I'm so excited I started doing push-ups. I said, well, I'm going. to continue, he will see that I have muscles too, man, what you have done with your mental muscles is so extraordinary that I don't know if you need to worry about anything else, tell me about your grandchildren, your great-grandchildren like it.

If you had just an hour to spend with them, what would you give them in terms of setting them up the way Mr. Washington set you up? What are those basic principles that you think are most impactful? Know yourself and I think we are taught not to conform to this world being transformed by the renewal of your mind is because I want to say it sounds very clever but I don't really understand it I know what it means is don't live the life you want. It has been given by the culture by your parents by your circumstances by the people around you that Sydney Harbor here he wrote a book called the measure of a man and he said that when you go for a walk with someone something happens without it being talked about, said O you adapt to their rhythm or they adjust to your rhythm that you have adapted to and therefore the things that we pick up and think are our choices, but they are the choices that we have been programmed by life to make.

What to do when we leave the house in the morning we are bombarded with more than 6,000 advertising views through Facebook through Twitter through Instagram through television through our phones and through our communities and through computers and all of these things impact us every day. So if you don't have a program for your mind, then your mind will become programmed and you will find yourself doing things that you didn't know that affected you through marketing techniques and strategies that they will create. A thirst inside you arose in an era that said if you built the best mousetrap, the world would be the way to your door, but if you knew it, the marketing people would sleep outside your store to buy a phone they had never before. touched or seen. but because of the marketing they said I have to have that and when they get it it's a smartphone with their doll because they don't know how to use it and that's me.

I have a smartphone but all I can do is text it hey that's good enough so we have our grandchildren in a room and we tell them not to let themselves be programmed by the culture you have to figure out that you have to Know yourself and what you want to spend. time reading reading is very important give me some powerful books one of the books i enjoy is by my mentor mike williams he saw this less proud before i saw it i was a radio station disc jockey wvko in columbus ohio and he said hello

brown

ie, I said yeah, he said, you know why you're going to see Robert Schuler and Tony Robbins and Zig Ziglar, I said because I like the message, he said no, he said, that's what you are, man, you can do that and he said, you know why what bert charles gives you so much. a lot of hell here I said well he just doesn't like me no because you have outgrown this place there is something else you can do you can do what those guys do but at that moment I was suffering from possibility blindness I couldn't see I had the conversation in my head about being mentally labeled as teachable and failing school twice, but over the years the experiences continue to come off and you wax the floor, you don't put wax on the existing floor, you remove it first since it was finished. the years the seminars the workshops the examples the things that are observed as people like you begin to detach and penetrate and connect with that part of me that says I can do this I can do more and I deserve more and that is why I would teach my children, they have You have to transform your way of thinking, you have to continually improve your relationships, my youngest son, John Leslie, poses a question, he said, when you have goals and dreams that you want to achieve, he said, ask yourself who should I count on and who should I count on and many People never achieve their goals because they have too much toxic negative energy that drains the people in their lives and you have to have goals outside your comfort zone that challenge you because to do something you've never done You have to become someone you've never been and you have to have a mentor who has experience, who has been there, who has done that and, as a result of that relationship, because you can't see the picture when you're in the frame muhammad ali said I'm the best but he never won a championship without angelo dundee and michael jordan never won a championship without phil jackson so you have to have someone who can see something in you that you can't see that that can take you to a place inside you that you can't go alone so I would show them the value of having a life coach, that life is an adventure and it will be a challenge and to prepare yourself because you are going to fail on your way to success, life will slap you in the face and don't waste your time complaining about it and telling everyone that eighty percent don't care and twenty percent I'm glad it's you too, right.

I want to close the circle of books. real quick, so give me two or three books that you think everyone should read. The Road to Your Best Things by Mike Williams. I wrote the trailer for Live Your Dreams. Is very good. Other. It is a little known book that peopleNo. I'm not talking about that, it's by Robert Collier called The Secret of the Times That's a book that really inspired me That Mr. Washington gave me The Secret of the Times Another book that is the secret of the times The secret of the times is that you have the power to do more than you will ever be able to begin to imagine don't underestimate yourself you don't know enough about yourself to become a cynic and that's why you have to challenge yourself to access that power that you have within you you are more than one conqueror and the other is a little little book that I don't care how many times I read it, I always get something of value.

James Allen as a man thinks and they have a female version as a woman thinking those are books that I really enjoy. What is it? As a man thinks, I tried to read it and to be honest I couldn't understand it, but I've heard a lot of people I respect a lot say that that book really has something. What am I missing? You know, he died in prison. and despite all the things he went through because he was a guy ahead of his time, his experience in the area where he was and being in prison for his philosophy of life did not make him bitter, you know, we have all heard it said that things in life they will make you bitter or they will make you better and he got better, he did even deeper work while he was incarcerated before he finally died, so he focuses on The value of not only changing your mind, but also having a program to do a job of maintenance in your mind, because those negative thoughts will come back with a vengeance once you stop the ritual of whatever you are doing and it will keep those negative thoughts in check.

Thoughts are like weeds, you can't kill weeds, you can, you can hold them down for a minute, but once you stop doing things to master those negative thoughts, because we have been taught not to like ourselves, That's if I told you, Tom. you can't do this program you just don't have what it takes you have a face only a mother could love tom you can't do this so he did this study someone else has to come and say tom don't pay attention you can do it tom can you do don't listen to this you can do this listen to me darling you can do this 17 times to neutralize that time and so when we think about him and his work and He did a very deep work and focuses on how to begin to immerse ourselves in those conscious thoughts and impact that subconscious mind to create a continuous process of renewal of the way we see ourselves.

Yeah, I want to talk about that process that I think is really powerful. It is a great analogy that negative voices like weeds will keep coming back and the moment you stop gardening you will have problems again. What is your gardening process like? What do you do in a day? Daily to keep it clean, we've developed a program called Four Steps to Greatness and it's a cyclical process, a self-awareness where constantly, every day, when I wake up, I read, I wake up and there's a Scripture. I love because all things work together for good for those who love God and for those who are called according to his purpose and so I meditate on that and visualize myself doing some good things on the planet.

The next step is not just self-awareness. but the next thing is self-approval, you have to have a program that increases your sense of self-reading by doing good work by volunteering by constantly looking for ways in which you can improve all dimensions of your life being a better father being a better husband a wife or to be a better person because we want to have a holistic approach to life because if your achievements exceed your sense of self, you will unconsciously engage in self-destructive behavior and we are witnessing that now on a national level, yes. We are touching on what perhaps I find most distressing in life.

I want to know about your mom and how you were able to see her so well the same way you know this kid couldn't see her father. What did your mom have? You have said that you have quoted Abraham Lincoln is saying that everything I have or will have is the result of my mother and you said that you feel the same. What did she have, her spirit, what did she do, that she impacted you so much? She, I think she lived a heart-centered life because I don't feel like I was given away. I've never looked up my birth parents until recently because of these various ads on TV, you know, and they said something.

It happened to you or some of your children. You want to know if this is something that runs in the family, but a journalist once asked you how you knew, as a single mother with a third-grade education, that you could raise seven children alone and your response It was simply that I felt that the Lord would make a way in some way and that's why every time I pursue a goal, even if I don't have the money, even if I don't have the resources, even if I don't have the connections, I remember sending I sent him one of my messages to Guntherenker, who had a Tony Robbins Personal Power commercial every 30 minutes on TV, so I sent them one of my motivational cassette tapes at the time and they sent me a ton of access.

You have an inspiring story, but you are black and I responded to you and said thank you for telling me that I would never have known and you have not reminded me and at the end I wrote I will see you from above, okay and so because my mother she made an exit no way promised our birth mother said that our birth mother mr. moore said that his mother was confronted by her birth mother i took her to liberty city on 62nd street in this abandoned building and it was said that this lady had twins and she didn't want them They separated and when I brought Mamie there, my mother, your biological mother, got up and stood in front of her and got close to her nose and said: Are you the one?

Will you take good care of my children? Mom said yes, you promised to never separate them, she said yes, you're going to be good to him, she said yes, I promise, I swear to God you will, and she and he said there was an expression of determination in Mom's face as she was

holding

us in a light blue blanket leaving there that she was going to do this no matter what, so I learned to become a no matter what from my mother and I learned the power of faith and relationships, she never met a stranger. she talked to anyone, she talked to a telegram, friends, you know, and I admired how when things happen, when she lost a job, she couldn't, she couldn't work anymore and she started selling home-made beer and moonshine to keep food going. the table and she was arrested you know she went to jail for us and I was 10 and they said I was an old man because I became a man then I sold copper and aluminum at Pepper's junkyard I cut grass I polished shoes I sold newspapers to provide until mom came back and when she came back because I opened the door because like this guy who came to a house and was what today you call an undercover agent during that time we called him stewed pigeon and uh and he said I want to surprise your mother no let him know that I'm here I have some friends I want to meet her and I opened the door and he threw me against the wall and and and he hit me and they He went back and they brought mom in handcuffs and she said: I told you never to open the door without telling me and I told him : I'm so sorry mom, I'm so sorry and when he came out he never mentioned it.

She never mentioned that, but mom, she sacrificed mom, we never went to bed hungry. Mom kept a roof over her head when she went out, she supported the kids, she baked sweet potato pies, she cooked for people, she found another way to generate income for us, so. that's why I admire him so much, yes, that's incredibly powerful, you've actually lived that in your life, which is extraordinary, you once told a story that really moved me, anyway, be relentless, don't stop, don't put excuses, selling door to door and you and another guy started at the same time, I think that would be really powerful, especially given the context of how much your mother planted that seed in you.

Yes, this is a time when you have to be hungry because it's over, according to the labor department. More than 20,000 people lose their jobs every month and are replaced by artificial intelligence, which is why I used to sell TVs or a guy called Sam at the door.
