Where did that come from?
Yeah, it came from a dark spot, to be honest with you.
I was a pretty good athlete.
Coming out of high school, I got a couple looks
to play collegially, but had a super bad attitude.
I had a super sullen attitude, thought
I was better than everybody.
Nobody was better than me.
And so through the course of my early 20s,
I felt like it was this game that I was playing that I
was living in my past and never in my future.
And the best days were behind me and not ahead of me.
And so in my mid-20s, literally, I
went into the Celebrate Recovery program
that I thought was for drug addicts.
And I'm like, God, take control of my heart.
I've got to figure this thing out.
I'd just gotten married.
And really, I think that's where the motivating standpoint.
It was the first time really I got into a Bible.
I read it all the way through.
And that kind of churned my love for reading.
And so I just became a massive reader up until that point.
So when I was 26, I just wanted to read books, business books,
just Napoleon Hill, Stephen Hawkins, all the good books
that I could nurture my mind with and grow
and to absorb their knowledge.
That's why I'm just a massive believer in books.
If somebody took the time to really sit down and really
put their thoughts on paper in depth,
man, I should probably give the good ones a shout.
And so right now, I'm into just finished a book
with Peter Atiyah, Outlive.
And just over the course of the last really 12 years,
as I've nurtured my mind that way through reading,
reading scripture, reading books, where I just become,
don't get me wrong, times get stressful.
That's the whole thing in the Nutrisus logo
is that you're going to go through the valleys too.
But how do I just maintain my edge?
And one of the big ways to maintain my edge
is to maintain my body and my mind.
