And all of a sudden I'm looking at the chat, it's like, wait a minute, that's not who— that can't be him, what's he doing here? My mama love that commercial, my daddy love that commercial, my dog love that commercial. Blew up the entire chat. And she's like, all right, all right, all right, all right, that's a great commercial by the way. Now everything is about me in a roundabout way. And she said, of course that that press release is going to work because, you know, everybody is stuck in their crib and everybody's looking for something that to make them happy, and that commercial is going to do it. And you're going to go here for all the TV talk shows, you're going to go here for all the podcasts, you're going to go here for all the journalists, you're going to go here for all the radio interviews. And she gave me the entire breadth of her expansive history and her game in 10 minutes, and it changed my life forever. And it is the sole reason that you and I have been chopping it up for the last hour on this podcast, because I planted that seed. And now I've done damn near 1,000 podcasts, from marriage podcasts to SEO podcasts, anything. I don't— I could do a podcast about anything. Mm-hmm. I get to speak at places. I get to, I get to do things that everybody wish they could do, right? And I know that in, you know, if I'm still blessed to be healthy and still be around, I'll still be doing shows and I'll still be doing motivational speaking. That'll be getting bigger because I can express my— I've all— I'm always gonna be able to spit on this mic in whatever form I can, right? And I'm always training to get better, right? And as long as I got a voice you're gonna know about DC the Brain Supreme, a tag team. Everything now is about my legacy, about my family's legacy, about me putting stuff together so people know that I had a great father and knowing our family history and all that. Because when you put that out there, people— it becomes history. And people, kids 100 years from now gonna read it. Like, don't nobody think about like stuff like that like I do, you see what I'm saying? Yeah, ways to do things without just saying I'm gonna build a website for this person. No. People gonna hold on to my father. Passed just before the pandemic, thank God, because he lived a full life. My father lived a full life. He outlived all his friends, and he died on his 82nd birthday in his own home, in his own bed. Full circle of life. I would be— I'd be greedy if I was sad and wanted more, because I can hope— only hope and pray that I go out like that. Amen, right? Yeah, in your sleep on your birthday. Come on, man. Wow. Come on. Wow. Yeah, he didn't have cancer or nothing like— he just had his ailments. He was old and he was ready to go. Like, you can't discount when people know they lived a good life and they're ready to go. I've done all I could do here. I'm ready to go. Yeah, right. And that is the beauty of life. So I tell people, you live life to the fullest, because I, I'm— as long as you breathing, there's nothing you can't do. And I'm gonna ride it till the wheels fall off, right? Because at some point you're gonna get tired. And I thought, hey, think about it, I thought I was gonna go to the club forever, I'm balling forever. You got tired of it. Now you can't get— you can't beg. I don't even go out to eat, right? Because I don't like spending money for stuff that I could cook better than they do, right? It's not even about— it's not even about the money. It's about the quality of what I spent my money on. You do that, your mind is truly free to do anything you want because you're not bogged down by your hubris, right? You're humble. You're like, okay, what can I do to be better? How can I be better? What can I do? How can I keep growing?
