In this personal vlog, the speaker (Hector R. Perdomo Sr.) finishes a post‑walk workout and shares a multi‑layered message with his audience, the "Nate Smith Nation." He describes his routine—30 laps with a backward‑walking segment every ten laps—to illustrate the principle that repeating the same action yields the same result. He expands this into a broader mind‑body philosophy, emphasizing that the heart initiates action, the mind directs the body, and self‑love and gratitude are essential. He recounts his own hardships—divorce, multiple periods of homelessness, and a recent episode helping his brother’s struggling multimillion‑dollar business—to illustrate resilience and the importance of helping others. The speaker then makes a fundraising appeal for the Naismith Foundation/Naismith University, honoring Dr. James Naismith and Kobe Bryant, and urges viewers to donate, support youth programs, and embody a universal human‑race ethic of assistance. He closes with a reminder to keep the foundation solid for the future, a brief timestamp (Feb 28, 7:13 am), and a motivational sign‑off.

Yo, yo, what's up, Nate Smith Nation? Uh, just finished the workout. Um, it's like I said, I got the old school timer, old school clicker. There's the laps. Oh shit, my bad. There's the laps, 30 laps. Uh, like I said, the last one, or the every 10th one I do, I go in backwards. Um, it's, uh, just to remind the body that you gotta, you gotta change it up, man. You keep doing the same thing, doing the same thing, expect a different result. That's a formula for madness. Well, wish you all the best. As you can see, I'll be back again, uh, continuing to grind, get this Naismith Nation going. Please visit the— please visit the website at naismithfoundation.org, especially if you miss Kobe. We got a little piece on him for that. Uh, this is the post The post-walk, uh, I'll have every time just to let you guys know that I finished the workout. And, um, try it. Um, walk, and then a certain number of laps or whatever you do, turn around and walk backwards and see how much your body reacts and how it reacts to it. I mean, I had a young lady said that she's seen what I was doing and she really bugged out because Number one, when she did the research, she said it's way more than just physical. The mind, like I said, you gotta— the mind is everything, guys. The heart controls everything, but the mind is what makes everything move, you know what I mean? Everything starts from the heart, goes to the mind, the mind tells the body what to do, and the heart finishes it with completion. Love yourself, love those who love you, keep doing what you're doing. Live every day like it's your last and, um, do your best. If you can help us out, any donation will help us at, um, because we want to create this, uh, amazing tour. It's going to help kids and, um, hopefully it even helps the people that work there. We don't want to just impact youth, we want to impact anybody that we can. You have people that can't think right, you know, and I was one of them. And I thank God that I, uh, I went through an episode with my brother that I had to go to Ohio because that's where he lives. And, uh, it's unfortunate that his wife left them and he stuck— he was stuck running a multi-million dollar business by himself. And I went and I helped them, but he didn't appreciate the help I was giving him. So I realized what he was going through is what I went through back 20 years ago. And realizing that, um, when I Lost— what, I lost my family, I got divorced, and been homeless 3 times. And I learned that you gotta just keep it moving and be grateful. Don't do stupid stuff because you're gonna pay for stupid decisions. I'm not telling you every decision you're gonna make is gonna be the greatest, but at least do your best. Help those that need it. If you— there's things in this world, there's a saying in Spanish that Lo que se ve no se dice. In other words, do what needs to be done. If you see an old lady needing help, somebody needing help, or you just stepping up and protecting somebody that can't protect themselves. I've seen that on a video that a lady did the sign with her hand that she was in trouble and people came to her aid. And that's what we need to do. We got to remember that there's only one race, it's the human race. I don't care what has been done in the past. You can't live in the past, you can only learn from the past. And that's what I'm doing. I'm learning from my mistakes. I lost focus on what I should have been focusing on, is making sure that this foundation is solid, especially after I'm gone, because that's the goal. The goal is to leave a Naismith University and bring everybody in and do our best and remind everybody who Dr. Naismith is, because Dr. Naismith is not— he's not dead. His spirit lives on in the game, in the environment, in the world he created. But a lot of people don't even know he was a Renaissance man. His life will be told, how he went from an orphan at 8 years, 8, 9 years old to an amazing, amazing educator with 4 doctorates, 2 masters, 2-time decorated veteran, and a tremendous person on top of all that. And he was an athlete. So take care of yourself, take care of your body, strong and bodies. Stay— keep your mind clean, clean, uh, clean and clean in mind and lofty in ideals, and you will get somewhere. Thanks again. See you again. Today is February 28th. It is approximately 7:13, and, uh, let's see what happens next time. Uh, not boring, but kind of boring for the people that don't understand that you got to take care of yourself. Peace out.
