1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,400 What's up BFam Podcast. Today is a solo episode and I just want to talk about a little bit 2 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:18,160 of myself. Today I'm going to talk about my upbringing and how it made me who I am today. 3 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:24,680 Well, my upbringing from my perspective because it may look different from the people who 4 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:32,880 actually raised me but in my eyes I say this all the time. Growing up I always was moving 5 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:39,600 around. Whether it be from house to house, mom and dad were never together. So whether 6 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:48,080 it be from house to house or from living space to living space, we moved around a lot. Downtown, 7 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:55,320 midtown, southwest, Clinton Township, Grosse Pointe, the east side, the west side. I was 8 00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:02,760 all over Detroit from a very young age and I feel like becoming accustomed to that. I 9 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:14,320 was always looking for something to be busy with. I was in a lot of activities growing 10 00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:21,440 up. Whatever sport it was, I was in it. If it was an after school club, I joined it. 11 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:28,040 I always kept myself busy because I thought that was what life was all about, being busy 12 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:38,680 because my parents always had me moving around. I feel like in a sense it worked out for me 13 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:48,920 to my advantage because I knew a lot of people who were sheltered during their childhoods. 14 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:55,720 Parents always hovering over them. Nothing that's not going to stable households but 15 00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:01,960 some households are too stable. Parents don't trust the kid, want to know everything that 16 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,160 the kid is doing, who are their friends, who are their parents. This, this and that. It 17 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:15,760 was just like I'm glad I got to skip over all of that. Let me think. So yeah, back to 18 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:23,560 what I was saying, always moving around as a kid and as I got older, I started to realize 19 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:34,720 the toll it was taking on me because I would start to forget things. You know, always moving 20 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:39,600 around, yeah I'm getting a new experience but also always moving around, I got a lot 21 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:48,560 of information coming in from anywhere and everywhere. So I was experiencing so much, 22 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:57,600 it was becoming stressful because one week I'd be at my dad's house. So I'd be at my 23 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:05,120 dad's house, school, sports, living arrangements at my dad's house, after school programs, 24 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:11,920 homework, friends hanging out and then boom Sunday comes and I'm going to my mom's house. 25 00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:20,080 Living in my mom's household, it was way different from my dad's. So now I got a lot of chores, 26 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:28,520 still got school, still got sports, after school programs, friends, this this and that. 27 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:34,560 I never really got to embrace all the experiences I was having because my brain was always on 28 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:41,440 the go. Not necessarily my body but my brain was always moving at this rapid speed. Picking 29 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,000 this up here, picking that up here, let me remember to get that, gotta remember to get 30 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,840 this and I'm doing all of this without a notebook, pen and pad, anything. I'm just trying my 31 00:03:50,840 --> 00:04:00,400 best to grasp onto everything that I had to remember and I was just stuffing it in my 32 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:07,440 brain and by the time I got to high school it was starting to burn me out. I started 33 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:14,960 to realize that I was having mental breakdowns and not like lashing out on everybody but 34 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:21,440 I would become so overwhelmed with the responsibilities that I was taking up that it would build up 35 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:27,960 and it just spew out at random moments and I'm like this isn't healthy. You know what 36 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:35,480 I'm saying? So I'll say the negative impact that growing up in a disconnected household 37 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:41,480 would have to be just the amount of stress it can bring and put on one person. I had 38 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:52,080 to pick up a lot of responsibilities as a kid as well. Two single parent households, 39 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:57,760 some things I just had to pick up and learn how to do on my own. Parents can't be there 40 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:06,760 all the time because they gotta work too to provide a healthy home. So they gotta work. 41 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:14,200 So I had to learn how to do some things early especially at my mom's house. Let's see, 42 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:18,920 at my mom's house she taught me how to cook at an early age, taught me how to clean at 43 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:27,680 an early age. I had to learn how to iron my clothes, had to do chores. She was getting 44 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:37,000 me ready responsibility wise. You know what I'm saying? So every Saturday morning or Friday 45 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:44,000 night if I wanted to go out Saturday, Friday night I would have to clean the bathroom, 46 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:51,000 sweep them out the hallways, do the dishes. She gave me those responsibilities from very 47 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:56,240 early on because she didn't want, I guess she didn't want to be burnt out cleaning 48 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:01,800 the whole house up and taking care of the kids. So I'm so grateful she taught me how 49 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:11,040 to do that because it dawns on me now every time before I go out I make sure the dishes 50 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,080 is clean, before I go out I try to make sure my room is clean, make sure the bathroom clean 51 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:20,640 of somebody coming over, the bathroom clean if I'm going out. I just like to have, she 52 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:27,720 gave me the sense that it's important to have a clean household before you leave because 53 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:34,240 a lot of us don't think about this but dude however you leave your house before you leave 54 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:41,440 the house is how you going to act when you get outside the house. Yeah it's crazy to 55 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:48,520 think about how living spaces or living arrangements can affect one's mood and I started to realize 56 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:54,720 this. It's books written on this, how to make your bed, a book like that. I haven't read 57 00:06:54,720 --> 00:07:01,400 it yet but I'm pretty sure it's about how getting that one little win a day, you know 58 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:08,080 what I'm saying, waking up, making your bed, seeing your space clean can give you a clear 59 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:13,960 conscience to start the day. You know what I'm saying? It's way easier to focus on what 60 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:24,040 you're doing when your space is clean. See I know we always talk about external and internal 61 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:29,600 problems and should I fix the external or should I fix the internal? It's really a mixture 62 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:38,320 of both. It's neither one more than the other. You know what I'm saying? Both extremities 63 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:46,560 are real and both of them have an effect on you so our inner world is really reflected 64 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:56,000 by our outer world. A dirty room can lead to a dirty mind. Not like that. But a dirty 65 00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:05,840 room can lead to a messy mind. Cluttered. You know what I'm saying? Your mind is cluttered. 66 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:11,480 You can't think of anything. You can't seem to remember anything. Everything is jumping 67 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:17,920 around at you. It seems like everything is misplaced but it seems like once you clean 68 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:24,480 the room you declutter your mind. Now everything is easier to remember. You know where you 69 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:33,720 place stuff at. You can hear your thoughts. You can witness your thoughts because when 70 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:41,760 my room is messy I can't see a single thought going in my head. I just know what I'm thinking. 71 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:52,960 It's just everything bouncing around. But when I clean the room up even if I just tidy 72 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:58,200 it up. I'm not saying you gotta deep clean, wash the sheets, wash the covers, clean the 73 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,280 floor. Some people might have to do that. I'm not saying you gotta do all that but once 74 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:10,440 I get a little bit of order going on in my life it's easier to think. So instead of my 75 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:16,000 thoughts being scattered around it's more like thought. Oh okay thought. Oh alright. 76 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:22,360 Thought. Oh alright. Thought. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? It's easier for me to think. 77 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:27,200 So I'm really grateful for my mind and that aspect for teaching me about that. Now let's 78 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:39,760 think about, let's think about, hmmm, hmmm, always moving around. Oh yeah. Growing up. 79 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:45,880 Yeah I used to be with my parents sometimes. Not a lot. Well I don't know. As a kid it 80 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:50,880 didn't feel like a lot. And I'm not mad at that. Because I would get to spend time with 81 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:56,480 the older people in my life. I spent a lot of time with my grandparents. And I'm so so 82 00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:01,960 so so so happy that I did that. Because getting that outlook and perspective on life really 83 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:10,080 helped me today. I'm so glad they gave me off to somebody older and wiser. You know 84 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,160 what I'm saying? I got to spend a lot of time with my great grandma. Even my great great 85 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:22,240 grandma. You know what I'm saying? I got to witness them and be there with them. And I 86 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:27,520 might not remember everything that they were saying word for word, bar for bar. You know 87 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:35,000 what I'm saying? But I'm sure, I'm sure they were passing on knowledge beyond my years. 88 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:41,280 And it's important to do that for a child. Because even if they can't remember it's still 89 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:49,440 going to show up in their daily actions. Because I don't know if a lot of people know this. 90 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:56,240 But when a child is developing, I want to say all the way up until the age of seven. 91 00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:02,560 They really developing off of a subconscious mind. I forget if it's the theta waves that's 92 00:11:02,560 --> 00:11:10,560 going on. Beta waves. It's a certain type of brain wave that is prevalent. That is prevalent 93 00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:18,600 in the mind at an early age. And if you, essentially you can program your children. You know what 94 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:24,680 I'm saying? So I was getting programmed by my nana, my great grandma had a PhD. So I'm 95 00:11:24,680 --> 00:11:29,800 getting programmed by a college professor, a doctor. And then I'm getting programmed 96 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:36,560 by my great great, my great great grandma, uh, Graham. I don't know what she did, but 97 00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:42,800 I know she was smart. Me and her years. Uh, my granddad, working man, uh, somebody who 98 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:47,960 knew a lot of people, a very sociable person could start a conversation with a brick wall. 99 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:52,520 You know, I was there. I know that seemed possible, but he'd find a way to do it. So 100 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:59,280 I'm getting his outlooks on life when he's just talking. My grandma, uh, my granny, somebody 101 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:06,480 who was very personable as well. I'm getting her outlooks on life. And it's just, I was 102 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:12,400 able to get all of these different walks of life. So young and that, that worked to my 103 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:23,600 advantage. And even when I did see my parents, they weren't particularly, uh, they weren't 104 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:30,800 so much as a, how can I put this? They was beyond their years as well for as young as 105 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:36,220 that, for as young as they were, they knew a heap of stuff. You know what I'm saying? 106 00:12:36,220 --> 00:12:43,040 So I was blessed to have some kindness and parents. Some people out here don't got, don't 107 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:49,320 got, I'm talking about being smart, don't got. No, I still don't know what to replace 108 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:55,200 it with. Some people don't got, do not got. Some people don't got some parents that got 109 00:12:55,200 --> 00:13:02,680 any type of sense. And I would hate for that to be me. That'd be so crazy. I don't know 110 00:13:02,680 --> 00:13:10,440 where I'd be at with my parents. I'm so grateful for them. But yeah, they were smart beyond 111 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:15,600 their years. So picking up on conversations growing up, even if I can't remember them 112 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:24,640 now, I know they had a huge impact on who I am today. And that's amazing. You know what 113 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:36,200 I'm saying? Let me think about how else my upbringing affected me as a person. Growing 114 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:43,960 up, I did have to go without, I wasn't the, I was privileged in the people that I was 115 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:55,480 around. But as in money in that aspect, I wasn't, we weren't the richest at all. I don't 116 00:13:55,480 --> 00:14:02,480 even think, excuse me, I don't even think we were middle class for a minute. My parents 117 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:10,240 never really pushed that narrative onto me, making it my problem. But now that I look 118 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:22,200 back or when I hear them talk to me about how I was raising me and my sister, it seems 119 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:33,880 like we didn't have much. But I'm so glad that I got to come from poverty essentially. 120 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:39,600 I wasn't homeless, but it was times that I wasn't, I didn't have my own home or my parents 121 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:47,240 didn't have a place to call their own home. And I commend them for staying steady because 122 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:55,400 they doing great now. And they inspire me every day. They like two different people, 123 00:14:55,400 --> 00:15:04,600 but like they quadrille in the sense of how they operate when it comes to kids. But yeah, 124 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:13,320 so coming up from poverty, living in the projects, it gave me a very, very humble beginning that 125 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:23,880 I still and always will remember for the rest of my life. They taught me how to be without 126 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:34,320 and a lot of people are always with so that when they without, they life is falling apart. 127 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:41,800 But my favorite quote is a corner bread, no, no, no, no, no, a crust of bread and a corner 128 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:54,320 to sleep in. It's a quote from a poem, but a crust of bread and a corner to sleep in. 129 00:15:54,320 --> 00:16:00,960 That's all I need to operate. And that's, I'm glad I can have that mindset because it 130 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:08,760 don't take much for me to be happy. I'm not so much as a materialist. I do like clothes. 131 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:15,640 I do like fashion. I do like good quality things, but I know if all of that was stripped 132 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:23,360 from me and I had to wear the no brand, the no name brand, the Walmart stuff, I'd be all 133 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,600 right. Because I'm grateful that I'm still living because there was a lot of times I'm 134 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:33,040 pretty sure I was on my way up out of here and I wasn't, I didn't even know it. So I'm 135 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:39,480 able to have that crust of bread and corners of sleep in. I remember I didn't even have 136 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:45,120 a bed. I mean, when I was born, I didn't have a crib. You know what I'm saying? I went straight 137 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:51,680 to the big boy bed. I was, tied me up in a little cover and put me on the bed, man. We 138 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:59,040 didn't have the money to get a crib. You know what I'm saying? I still turned out fine. 139 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:05,760 When I lived with my grandma, with my mom, we didn't have a bed. But she didn't make 140 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:12,160 that me or her problem. She didn't let, my mom didn't let that show in her actions that 141 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:18,280 that was a problem. So, so we on the flow. Set the palette up. You know what I'm saying? 142 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:24,760 As long as I got to be with my mom or have a place to sleep, a room to sleep in, I was 143 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:38,160 grateful. And it really, stuff like that still dawns on me today. So when I'm in situations 144 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:42,200 where it's like too many people for the hotel room, I sleep on the floor. Y'all can have 145 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:47,120 a bed, man. Cause it's like, they going to do all this complaining. All you need is a 146 00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:54,320 cover and a pillow. And really all you need is a cover or a pillow. You don't always necessarily 147 00:17:54,320 --> 00:18:02,720 need both, but to have both is a luxury as well. And yeah, I'm just, I'm just so grateful 148 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:12,600 for that humble beginning and having that different perspective also makes it easier 149 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:20,640 to see both sides of the coin. Because think about it. Some people are born into poverty 150 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:25,880 and when they born in the poverty, some don't know how to get out. So they only see that 151 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:30,640 side of the coin. They think they know what the other side look like cause they see the 152 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:36,600 high life, the rich life. They might see it on TV ads, newspapers, or they just might 153 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:43,160 see people who they think are rich. And some people that's born into royalty. Yeah. Some 154 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:49,320 people just born into royalty. They don't know what it's like to be poor. Yeah, they 155 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:54,800 don't know what it's like to be poor. They don't, they don't understand what it's like 156 00:18:54,800 --> 00:19:02,440 to struggle. And that can have a negative impact on them as well because nothing is 157 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:09,040 guaranteed. So if they were to lose everything that they had, think about how that would 158 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:15,280 affect them. They had lose their mind. They never been there before. It's too dark to 159 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:25,640 see, you know what I'm saying? But me, you know, essentially growing up poor in a sense. 160 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:32,760 And then where I am now today, I went to a private school. I went to a private school 161 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:39,240 so I was able to see these rich people firsthand. I was able to go to their house and see how 162 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:47,720 they live. Now I know what it look like on both sides, hand to hand, firsthand experiences. 163 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:54,400 And I feel like that make it easier to choose. You feel me? That make it easier to choose 164 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:59,040 what I want to do with my life. You see some people live their lives based on what they 165 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:05,840 think they, how they have to live because they know no other choice. No other choice 166 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:12,360 is available to them. But me, yeah, I know what it's like to sleep on the floor. I know 167 00:20:12,360 --> 00:20:16,600 what it's like to sleep in a king size bed. You know what I'm saying? You waking up with 168 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:21,360 a maid in your face or you waking up on the lake. You want to yeah, I know what that's 169 00:20:21,360 --> 00:20:29,880 like now. I've experienced it. So now I know I have to, I have the choice and I choose 170 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:35,880 to go get this paper. You know what I'm saying? And not even because I'm scared to be poor 171 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:41,040 because I know that's the better option. Both is hard. Being rich is hard and so is being 172 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:48,360 broke. So I might as well have be rich and let it be hard too. Even when this is just 173 00:20:48,360 --> 00:20:58,720 a piece of advice, even in life, life is going to be hard regardless. All right. And we get 174 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:04,120 a choice. I mean, you got to pick a struggle. I read that in the book. You got to pick a 175 00:21:04,120 --> 00:21:08,120 struggle because whatever you do, you're going to struggle anyway. So you might as well struggle 176 00:21:08,120 --> 00:21:16,520 having fun. You might as well struggle doing something you like. It's hard to succeed and 177 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:23,200 it's hard to fail. So I rather it just be hard succeeded. You know what I'm saying? 178 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:29,200 You have a choice and never forget that. I want anybody that's listening to understand 179 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:36,480 that you have a choice. It's really up to you. All your bad decisions are up to you. 180 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:41,720 All your good decisions are up to you. And I'm going to tag on that in a minute, but 181 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:46,560 all of your bad decisions are on you. All of your good decisions are on you. Everything 182 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:53,360 is your responsibility. So be responsible. But also think about it like this. There's 183 00:21:53,360 --> 00:22:02,920 no such thing as a good or bad decision because we always make decisions based on the information 184 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:09,720 that we have at hand. That's one part. And then there's also no such thing as a good 185 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:16,560 or bad decision because we not God. We can't distinguish between what is good and what 186 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:22,680 is bad. We only see what is good and what is bad in that moment. But think about the 187 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:28,400 quote unquote bad decisions that you have made in your life. Right? Think about them 188 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:32,920 then and think about them now. Are you glad that they happen? Because look at the outcome. 189 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:37,760 We don't know what the other outcomes is. So it would be naive for us to deem something 190 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:42,520 as good or bad or have a regret about it. We got to be grateful for everything that 191 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:48,080 has happened. There's no reason why we should be complaining and we're doing better today 192 00:22:48,080 --> 00:23:01,520 than we were doing back then. So yeah, that's a great thing. Let's see. Growing up without 193 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:08,640 a car also put me in a position where I didn't have to have the luxuries of a fast car, fast 194 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:13,600 bike, this, this and that. All I needed was my friends, you know what I'm saying, and 195 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:19,920 my imagination. I was in communities where it weren't too many kids, but it were kids. 196 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:24,760 They might not necessarily have been the same age as me, but I was young and they was young, 197 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:29,520 you know what I'm saying? And we got to play together and I got to share that experience, 198 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:36,720 that humbling experience that there's no worries even when we should be worried. I know somebody 199 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:43,840 could feel that. There's no worries even though you know you should be worried. We were just 200 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:48,560 kids. We were just hanging. And I'm glad I got to get that experience because some kids 201 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:57,040 was stuck in the house. Some kids' parents just hated the idea of danger. I don't know 202 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:03,920 what my parents was on. I guess they just trusted me to go out and not die. But Detroit 203 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:23,440 is a scary place. That's only if you let it be. Let's think. Yeah, this is a short episode. 204 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:28,640 I'm pretty sure I can think of some other things, but I just wanted to get that quick 205 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:35,920 episode off of my chest. Just so I can leave you with one thing if you didn't pick anything 206 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:55,240 up from this video. I will say, don't use your past as an excuse. Yeah, don't use your 207 00:24:55,240 --> 00:25:01,520 past as an excuse. You can finish the sentence if you want to, but that's all I got for that 208 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:08,840 piece of advice. Don't use it as an excuse. Do not use your past as an excuse. Let your 209 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:16,000 past push you forward. Be grateful for whatever upbringing you have because if you still alive 210 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:22,640 today, you're doing something right. If you're still alive today, you're doing something 211 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:39,200 right. That's the BFM Podcast, man. Thank you for listening.
