A man from Stillwell, Oklahoma, a low-income town known for strawberries and marijuana, grew up on a dairy farm hating it. He set a clear vision anyway and built his way out, wishing he'd had mentors like Will Smith along the way.
The path was not paved for you to be a millionaire. You have to start out with a little bit different upbringing. So, uh, I grew up in a small town east of here called Stillwell, Oklahoma. So we were known for two things in Stillwell, Oklahoma. Number one, we were the strawberry capital of the world. Number two, we were the marijuana capital of the world. That's not good. That's not good. But I grew up on a dairy farm. Very low population. I had 4 brothers, 3 sisters. There was a lot of people, but not a lot of money, not a lot of food. I hated every second of every minute of every day being on that farm. And I knew that that's not the life that I wanted. I knew there was something more out there. This small little town, East Oklahoma, was not where my destiny was going to be. And so from that humble beginning, I set a destiny, I set a passion, I set a vision, and then I went out into the world and I achieved it. And it was not easy. It was very, very tough. You see, I wish that when I sat in the stadium like you guys are sitting right now, that I had somebody like Will Smith and Adrian and myself to come and tell me What's out there? What's going on out there? What do I have to face? Because when I was your age, I thought I knew it all. I thought there's no way I'm gonna be stuck here in this small town on this dairy farm, that I can go out there and I can become anything I want. And I knew that, but I didn't know how, and I didn't know what. So I want you guys to listen to us today because we've all achieved it, but we were all sitting right where you're sitting. Wanting to know what's out there and how do I go get it. And that's what we're going to share with you today.
