1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,600
Where did that come from?

2
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:04,360
Yeah, it came from a dark spot, to be honest with you.

3
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,400
I was a pretty good athlete.

4
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:09,760
Coming out of high school, I got a couple looks

5
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,520
to play collegially, but had a super bad attitude.

6
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:14,240
I had a super sullen attitude, thought

7
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,160
I was better than everybody.

8
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:18,680
Nobody was better than me.

9
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:24,040
And so through the course of my early 20s,

10
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,720
I felt like it was this game that I was playing that I

11
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,080
was living in my past and never in my future.

12
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,840
And the best days were behind me and not ahead of me.

13
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,880
And so in my mid-20s, literally, I

14
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:37,640
went into the Celebrate Recovery program

15
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,320
that I thought was for drug addicts.

16
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,760
And I'm like, God, take control of my heart.

17
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,160
I've got to figure this thing out.

18
00:00:43,160 --> 00:00:44,760
I'd just gotten married.

19
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,680
And really, I think that's where the motivating standpoint.

20
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,280
It was the first time really I got into a Bible.

21
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,720
I read it all the way through.

22
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,200
And that kind of churned my love for reading.

23
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,880
And so I just became a massive reader up until that point.

24
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:04,320
So when I was 26, I just wanted to read books, business books,

25
00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:11,360
just Napoleon Hill, Stephen Hawkins, all the good books

26
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,360
that I could nurture my mind with and grow

27
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:14,560
and to absorb their knowledge.

28
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,920
That's why I'm just a massive believer in books.

29
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:21,560
If somebody took the time to really sit down and really

30
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,000
put their thoughts on paper in depth,

31
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,080
man, I should probably give the good ones a shout.

32
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,760
And so right now, I'm into just finished a book

33
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,520
with Peter Atiyah, Outlive.

34
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,640
And just over the course of the last really 12 years,

35
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,720
as I've nurtured my mind that way through reading,

36
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:45,240
reading scripture, reading books, where I just become,

37
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,320
don't get me wrong, times get stressful.

38
00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:49,640
That's the whole thing in the Nutrisus logo

39
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,120
is that you're going to go through the valleys too.

40
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,880
But how do I just maintain my edge?

41
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,560
And one of the big ways to maintain my edge

42
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:22,560
is to maintain my body and my mind.
