00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:12,600
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Shape Get Sheared podcast, full of people, politics and popular culture.

3
00:00:13,100 --> 00:00:15,600
I'm your host, Austin Green. I want to welcome you to the show.

4
00:00:16,900 --> 00:00:24,900
So I want to discuss a truth with you that I've discovered through the process of reinventing myself.

5
00:00:24,900 --> 00:00:29,900
And on this journey of becoming the best version of myself.

6
00:00:30,900 --> 00:00:35,900
And that is something that I discovered when I was on my...

7
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:41,400
So for those of you who have never heard the story, I've told it multiple times, but I will tell it again.

8
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,900
I was in the Air Force for about two years.

9
00:00:45,900 --> 00:00:53,900
And during that time, I almost took my own lives and I ended up in a mental hospital for about 28 days.

10
00:00:54,900 --> 00:00:56,900
And that was when I hit rock bottom in my life.

11
00:00:57,900 --> 00:01:03,900
I had no encouragement, no idea what to do with my life. I thought my life was over.

12
00:01:04,900 --> 00:01:07,900
And it was only realizing that I had everything in front of me.

13
00:01:07,900 --> 00:01:14,900
Because for the first time, I had nowhere else to go but into my own side sheet.

14
00:01:15,900 --> 00:01:22,900
And it was doing that that made me realize that the only person that mattered in my life wasn't just me.

15
00:01:23,900 --> 00:01:26,900
This is when I found myself on the brink of despair.

16
00:01:27,900 --> 00:01:31,900
I discovered that it was making people happy that I wanted to do.

17
00:01:31,900 --> 00:01:36,900
But I was trying to make the people happy in my life that didn't... that weren't on my team.

18
00:01:37,900 --> 00:01:39,900
That didn't care about me.

19
00:01:40,900 --> 00:01:44,900
I would go out of my way to please people who didn't care about me whatsoever.

20
00:01:45,900 --> 00:01:52,900
And in doing that, I realized that I had to take a step forward in a new direction.

21
00:01:53,900 --> 00:01:55,900
Turn over a new leaf, as it were.

22
00:01:55,900 --> 00:02:00,900
And it was only through doing that that I changed my life.

23
00:02:01,900 --> 00:02:05,900
And it was that first step in the new direction that changed my life forever.

24
00:02:06,900 --> 00:02:12,900
So I'm here to assert to you today that one more step could make you free.

25
00:02:13,900 --> 00:02:16,900
Could give you a life that you could never have imagined.

26
00:02:17,900 --> 00:02:19,900
But you can do it if you're living in fear.

27
00:02:19,900 --> 00:02:24,900
You can't do it if you're living in a state of scarcity, unhappiness.

28
00:02:25,900 --> 00:02:27,900
You're not going to get there.

29
00:02:28,900 --> 00:02:32,900
You're only going to be upset, disappointed, and unhappy.

30
00:02:33,900 --> 00:02:36,900
And I don't know about you, but I don't want to live in that kind of...

31
00:02:37,900 --> 00:02:38,900
I don't want to live in that kind of world.

32
00:02:39,900 --> 00:02:41,900
Now, admittedly, again, this is not going to be easy.

33
00:02:42,900 --> 00:02:43,900
This will not be easy.

34
00:02:44,900 --> 00:02:46,900
In fact, for me, it's been the hardest thing I've ever done.

35
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:50,900
I wake up every day asking myself, what can I do to improve today?

36
00:02:51,900 --> 00:02:56,900
How can I help share with other people so that they can also work hard?

37
00:02:57,900 --> 00:02:59,900
Because making no mistake about it, it's not easy.

38
00:03:00,900 --> 00:03:01,900
Nothing is worth doing. It's ever easy.

39
00:03:02,900 --> 00:03:04,900
But let me tell you something.

40
00:03:05,900 --> 00:03:08,900
The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.

41
00:03:09,900 --> 00:03:11,900
And it is only through taking that step that you can change your life.

42
00:03:11,900 --> 00:03:15,900
Because you can easily just stay at the crossroads and do nothing.

43
00:03:16,900 --> 00:03:17,900
I'll tell you a little story.

44
00:03:18,900 --> 00:03:22,900
When I first got out of high school, I had no idea what the hell I wanted to do.

45
00:03:23,900 --> 00:03:24,900
Nothing. Zero.

46
00:03:25,900 --> 00:03:28,900
Everybody would be like, oh, Osso, what do you want to do now?

47
00:03:29,900 --> 00:03:30,900
You have the whole world in front of you. What do you want to do?

48
00:03:31,900 --> 00:03:34,900
I would sit there and say, well, I don't know.

49
00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:37,900
I really had no idea what I wanted to do.

50
00:03:37,900 --> 00:03:46,900
And so what I would then say is, oh, well, I, uh, oh, no, I'll just go do this or I'll go, I'll go to college, I guess.

51
00:03:47,900 --> 00:03:49,900
I don't really have anything else to do, I suppose.

52
00:03:50,900 --> 00:03:52,900
So I did that. Didn't like it very much.

53
00:03:53,900 --> 00:03:56,900
Then I went back to, I would, I moved back in with my parents.

54
00:03:57,900 --> 00:03:58,900
And I felt like a complete loser.

55
00:03:59,900 --> 00:04:03,900
So I then worked for about a year, felt like a complete loser of fraud.

56
00:04:03,900 --> 00:04:06,900
Hated my life, saw my friends winning.

57
00:04:07,900 --> 00:04:08,900
I was happy for them that they were winning.

58
00:04:09,900 --> 00:04:12,900
I thought to myself, damn, I'm straight losing out here.

59
00:04:13,900 --> 00:04:14,900
This is disgusting.

60
00:04:15,900 --> 00:04:16,900
I felt sick.

61
00:04:17,900 --> 00:04:19,900
I felt like I was a complete loser of fraud, like I said.

62
00:04:20,900 --> 00:04:21,900
So what did I do?

63
00:04:22,900 --> 00:04:25,900
I said, you know what? I'm going to throw myself in the deep end.

64
00:04:26,900 --> 00:04:28,900
I'm sick of sitting here, not doing jack shit.

65
00:04:29,900 --> 00:04:30,900
I'm just going to throw myself into something.

66
00:04:30,900 --> 00:04:32,900
So I threw myself in the US military.

67
00:04:33,900 --> 00:04:36,900
And it was the best decision I ever made.

68
00:04:37,900 --> 00:04:38,900
Cause it changed my life.

69
00:04:38,900 --> 00:04:39,900
It gave me the wake up call that I needed.

70
00:04:40,900 --> 00:04:42,900
Now it was extremely painful.

71
00:04:43,900 --> 00:04:44,900
Very painful.

72
00:04:45,900 --> 00:04:47,900
Basic training changed me forever.

73
00:04:48,900 --> 00:04:49,900
It broke my weakness.

74
00:04:50,900 --> 00:04:53,900
And molded it into something stronger than it was before.

75
00:04:54,900 --> 00:04:57,900
There's a line, I'm not a huge Star Wars guy.

76
00:04:57,900 --> 00:04:59,900
I think Star Wars is interesting.

77
00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:06,900
I think the newer Disney version of Star Wars is probably the one of the worst storylines I've ever seen in my life.

78
00:05:07,900 --> 00:05:10,900
But the original ones are very interesting.

79
00:05:10,900 --> 00:05:26,900
And one of my favorite lines that Vader has is when he's talking, it's in one of the more recent shows where he talks about how Anakin Skywalker was weak and he destroyed him.

80
00:05:27,900 --> 00:05:29,900
I, you know, I might be sociopathic.

81
00:05:30,900 --> 00:05:31,900
You can say whatever you want about me.

82
00:05:32,900 --> 00:05:33,900
But I relate to that.

83
00:05:33,900 --> 00:05:39,900
I relate to, I destroyed the weaker version of myself because he was inferior.

84
00:05:40,900 --> 00:05:41,900
I didn't like him.

85
00:05:42,900 --> 00:05:44,900
He was weak, needed the correction.

86
00:05:45,900 --> 00:05:47,900
And he got broken and reforged into someone who was better.

87
00:05:48,900 --> 00:05:52,900
That's why I'm very big on not letting other people give you titles.

88
00:05:53,900 --> 00:05:55,900
Put labels on you that you don't want.

89
00:05:56,900 --> 00:06:01,900
If you don't like the way that someone labels you or whatever, you can change that.

90
00:06:01,900 --> 00:06:02,900
You can change that.

91
00:06:03,900 --> 00:06:04,900
You can change that shit.

92
00:06:05,900 --> 00:06:07,900
You really think that someone else has the right to label you?

93
00:06:08,900 --> 00:06:09,900
Who the hell do you think they are?

94
00:06:10,900 --> 00:06:13,900
At the end of the day, it's only you who would take that step forward and say, hey, you know what?

95
00:06:14,900 --> 00:06:15,900
No, no, that's not who I am.

96
00:06:16,900 --> 00:06:18,900
You don't get to define who I am.

97
00:06:19,900 --> 00:06:20,900
I do.

98
00:06:21,900 --> 00:06:22,900
And that, that takes strength.

99
00:06:23,900 --> 00:06:24,900
That takes resolve.

100
00:06:25,900 --> 00:06:26,900
Most people don't have that resolve.

101
00:06:27,900 --> 00:06:28,900
They want to sit there and be like, oh, okay.

102
00:06:28,900 --> 00:06:31,900
Well, I guess I can be like that if they just want me to.

103
00:06:32,900 --> 00:06:33,900
Well, fuck that shit.

104
00:06:34,900 --> 00:06:36,900
You need to come out here and say, you know what?

105
00:06:37,900 --> 00:06:38,900
No, no, that's not who I am.

106
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:42,900
In fact, not only is that not who I am, let me tell you who I am.

107
00:06:43,900 --> 00:06:44,900
That's what you should do.

108
00:06:45,900 --> 00:06:48,900
Don't just sit there and say, I'm not this.

109
00:06:49,900 --> 00:06:51,900
Say, I'm not, I'm not this, but I'm that.

110
00:06:52,900 --> 00:06:53,900
I'm not a loser.

111
00:06:54,900 --> 00:06:55,900
I'm a winner.

112
00:06:55,900 --> 00:06:58,900
I'm not a drifter. I have purpose.

113
00:06:59,900 --> 00:07:00,900
These are the things you need to tell yourself.

114
00:07:01,900 --> 00:07:03,900
Cause if you don't, someone else will tell you what you are.

115
00:07:04,900 --> 00:07:08,900
And if they tell you for long enough and you don't replace that with the truth,

116
00:07:09,900 --> 00:07:10,900
that is what you will begin to believe.

117
00:07:11,900 --> 00:07:12,900
Trust me on that.

118
00:07:13,900 --> 00:07:18,900
If you don't put in, if you don't put something into the void, someone else will do it for you.

119
00:07:18,900 --> 00:07:24,900
And you'll be more than happy to rob you of what you could have been with what their limited version of you is.

120
00:07:25,900 --> 00:07:33,900
And that is why I'm telling you right now that one step could make you a free man, make you a free woman.

121
00:07:34,900 --> 00:07:35,900
And it's you who has to take that step.

122
00:07:36,900 --> 00:07:38,900
Because someone else might lead you off a cliff.

123
00:07:39,900 --> 00:07:44,900
Or even if they lead you in the better direction, it's not the best direction.

124
00:07:44,900 --> 00:07:48,900
Cause only you, only you know yourself the best.

125
00:07:49,900 --> 00:07:52,900
People will only see what you show them.

126
00:07:54,900 --> 00:08:05,900
And even if they know you really well, the only person who can truly know you is the person who resides between your eyes, between your two eyes, between your ears.

127
00:08:06,900 --> 00:08:08,900
That's the only person who can really tell you who you are.

128
00:08:08,900 --> 00:08:14,900
And that's why I firmly believe that one more step could make you free.

129
00:08:15,900 --> 00:08:17,900
But the only person that could take that step is you.

130
00:08:18,900 --> 00:08:24,900
Now, trust me, other people will guide you down other paths if you are not willing to make that step yourself.

131
00:08:25,900 --> 00:08:29,900
But you want to learn to run, but you're not even walking on your own yet.

132
00:08:30,900 --> 00:08:33,900
But that's okay, cause everyone has to start somewhere.

133
00:08:34,900 --> 00:08:36,900
Everyone starts somewhere.

134
00:08:36,900 --> 00:08:37,900
Nobody starts at the finish line.

135
00:08:38,900 --> 00:08:43,900
Even if they have every possible advantage, they can still fail.

136
00:08:44,900 --> 00:08:49,900
Just look at how many rich people's kids are drug addicts, delinquents, lowlifes, you name it.

137
00:08:50,900 --> 00:08:56,900
And there are people who grow up in the mud and they make it all the way to the Hamptons.

138
00:08:57,900 --> 00:08:58,900
I mean, riddle me that one.

139
00:08:59,900 --> 00:09:02,900
It all goes back to you need to take the step forward.

140
00:09:02,900 --> 00:09:08,900
The final step you ever make could be the first one on this new path that you want for yourself.

141
00:09:09,900 --> 00:09:11,900
Now you could start with baby steps.

142
00:09:12,900 --> 00:09:16,900
You don't, I didn't get down the path I'm going on just in that one moment.

143
00:09:17,900 --> 00:09:22,900
Well, you could start down one path and end up at a totally different path.

144
00:09:22,900 --> 00:09:31,900
But you need to be able to tell yourself, I am not going to accept anything that I don't want.

145
00:09:32,900 --> 00:09:41,900
Now, look, I understand that when I talk in this self-improvement motivational way, it could be easy for you to say, Austin, this is hyperbole.

146
00:09:42,900 --> 00:09:45,900
This is, this is you just talking out of, you know, your butt.

147
00:09:46,900 --> 00:09:47,900
This is, this isn't true.

148
00:09:48,900 --> 00:09:49,900
How was this livable?

149
00:09:49,900 --> 00:10:00,900
Well, at the end of the day, I can't give you a direct direct, I can't give you a direct plan for your life because likely I don't know you.

150
00:10:02,900 --> 00:10:08,900
Now, if that's something you would like help with, I'm, you're more than welcome to hit me up on Twitter and tell me about your life.

151
00:10:09,900 --> 00:10:10,900
And I can see how I can help you if that's what you want.

152
00:10:10,900 --> 00:10:19,900
But at the end of the day, you are, you're getting in the way of your own happiness.

153
00:10:20,900 --> 00:10:23,900
Of course, other people are going to be in your way.

154
00:10:24,900 --> 00:10:25,900
That's a given.

155
00:10:26,900 --> 00:10:27,900
In fact, that's their job is to be in your way.

156
00:10:28,900 --> 00:10:31,900
Frankly, that's all the people's jobs to be in your way.

157
00:10:32,900 --> 00:10:36,900
You really think that other people are just going to help you out of the goodness of their hearts?

158
00:10:36,900 --> 00:10:41,900
I mean, there are people who will help you out while helping themselves out.

159
00:10:42,900 --> 00:10:43,900
There's nothing wrong with that.

160
00:10:44,900 --> 00:10:49,900
But just realize that no one's just going to help you out and hurt themselves on the back end.

161
00:10:50,900 --> 00:10:51,900
That just doesn't happen that way.

162
00:10:52,900 --> 00:10:53,900
That just doesn't happen.

163
00:10:54,900 --> 00:10:55,900
And I don't blame them for that.

164
00:10:56,900 --> 00:10:57,900
No one should do that.

165
00:10:58,900 --> 00:10:59,900
Nothing is ever free.

166
00:10:59,900 --> 00:11:05,900
That's why this whole notion of getting things for free when I see it on Twitter, I see politicians talk about free.

167
00:11:06,900 --> 00:11:07,900
There's no such thing as free.

168
00:11:08,900 --> 00:11:09,900
Someone's paying for it.

169
00:11:10,900 --> 00:11:14,900
And if it's a taxpayer thing and you pay taxes, you're paying, sir.

170
00:11:15,900 --> 00:11:16,900
You're paying, ma'am.

171
00:11:17,900 --> 00:11:18,900
What kind of garbage is this?

172
00:11:19,900 --> 00:11:20,900
You think you're not paying for it, schmuck.

173
00:11:21,900 --> 00:11:22,900
You're paying for it every April.

174
00:11:23,900 --> 00:11:24,900
What do you think tax season is for?

175
00:11:25,900 --> 00:11:26,900
What do you think those numbers are?

176
00:11:26,900 --> 00:11:30,900
Your paycheck, if you work a W-2 job, I mean, come on, bro.

177
00:11:31,900 --> 00:11:32,900
What is this, amateur hour?

178
00:11:33,900 --> 00:11:34,900
What the hell is going on here?

179
00:11:35,900 --> 00:11:36,900
This is ridiculous.

180
00:11:37,900 --> 00:11:42,900
But again, this goes back to if you're W-2, there's nothing inherently wrong with that.

181
00:11:43,900 --> 00:11:45,900
If you actually like what it is you're doing.

182
00:11:46,900 --> 00:11:48,900
Too many people hate their life.

183
00:11:49,900 --> 00:11:50,900
They hate what they're doing.

184
00:11:51,900 --> 00:11:54,900
But then when you ask them, oh, OK, so you don't like your job, well, what is it you want to do instead?

185
00:11:54,900 --> 00:11:56,900
They'll just give you crickets, nothing, zero.

186
00:11:57,900 --> 00:11:58,900
They have no idea.

187
00:11:59,900 --> 00:12:02,900
Or they might have an idea and say, well, I don't know how I'd make money off of this.

188
00:12:03,900 --> 00:12:07,900
You can make money off of beekeeping.

189
00:12:08,900 --> 00:12:09,900
You can make money off of flower arrangements.

190
00:12:10,900 --> 00:12:11,900
You can make money off of cupcakes.

191
00:12:12,900 --> 00:12:15,900
You can make money off any damn thing in this modern economy.

192
00:12:16,900 --> 00:12:17,900
What are you kidding me?

193
00:12:18,900 --> 00:12:21,900
Now, admittedly, the celebrities are getting more and more into the content creation game.

194
00:12:21,900 --> 00:12:26,900
So if you want to get into the content creation game, which I would highly recommend, highly recommend it.

195
00:12:27,900 --> 00:12:32,900
Your window is closing if you're not a celebrity or a pseudo celebrity.

196
00:12:33,900 --> 00:12:34,900
So keep that in mind.

197
00:12:35,900 --> 00:12:38,900
But it all comes down to a sense of urgency.

198
00:12:39,900 --> 00:12:41,900
Let me tell you something. I am never giving up.

199
00:12:42,900 --> 00:12:43,900
I have decided what I want to do.

200
00:12:44,900 --> 00:12:47,900
And in fact, I can go back to having a normie job ever again.

201
00:12:48,900 --> 00:12:49,900
I can't.

202
00:12:49,900 --> 00:12:53,900
First of all, the human resources hippos are probably going to find out who I am.

203
00:12:54,900 --> 00:12:56,900
Look up what I did in the past.

204
00:12:57,900 --> 00:13:03,900
I'll be like, you said this on this day on this podcast episode, you said this and this is offensive.

205
00:13:04,900 --> 00:13:05,900
So we're firing you.

206
00:13:06,900 --> 00:13:07,900
We're not hiring you.

207
00:13:08,900 --> 00:13:10,900
Whatever. So just be aware of that.

208
00:13:11,900 --> 00:13:13,900
If you're going to make content kind of like mine that could offend people.

209
00:13:13,900 --> 00:13:18,900
Well, then you're probably going to have a hard time finding a nine to five job.

210
00:13:19,900 --> 00:13:22,900
It's in the corporate American world, but that's okay.

211
00:13:23,900 --> 00:13:24,900
That's totally fine.

212
00:13:25,900 --> 00:13:30,900
You got the paid price, pay the cost to be the boss, as they say.

213
00:13:31,900 --> 00:13:33,900
And the end of the day, if you want to be a normie, that's fine.

214
00:13:34,900 --> 00:13:36,900
You want to just use this information on a low for a side hustle.

215
00:13:37,900 --> 00:13:38,900
You're more than welcome to do that.

216
00:13:38,900 --> 00:13:42,900
But it all comes down to taking that first step.

217
00:13:43,900 --> 00:13:47,900
It all comes down to taking that step in believing in yourself.

218
00:13:48,900 --> 00:13:50,900
For God's sakes, you don't believe in yourself, do you?

219
00:13:51,900 --> 00:13:52,900
I don't blame you. I didn't either.

220
00:13:53,900 --> 00:14:03,900
In fact, when I first thought about doing this show, I would tell all my friends that I was going to start doing my own podcast and to help people understand the complexities of the world.

221
00:14:03,900 --> 00:14:09,900
I've asked questions my whole life and I continue to ask every single day.

222
00:14:10,900 --> 00:14:13,900
And then they were like, oh, that's great.

223
00:14:14,900 --> 00:14:17,900
And then I didn't do it initially because I was scared.

224
00:14:18,900 --> 00:14:28,900
I said, dude, who's going to want to listen to me talk about the problems of the world, my problems, try to talk about other people's problems so they can live a better life?

225
00:14:29,900 --> 00:14:30,900
I mean, who wants to listen to that?

226
00:14:30,900 --> 00:14:32,900
How do I know I'm qualified for that?

227
00:14:33,900 --> 00:14:34,900
That's what I said to myself.

228
00:14:35,900 --> 00:14:38,900
And it took me realizing, wait a minute, I don't need to be qualified.

229
00:14:39,900 --> 00:14:40,900
I just need to be honest.

230
00:14:41,900 --> 00:14:43,900
I just need to be honest.

231
00:14:44,900 --> 00:14:48,900
I mean, how many people do you see in the media that you think, oh, maybe that information is credible.

232
00:14:49,900 --> 00:14:50,900
But is this person credible?

233
00:14:51,900 --> 00:14:52,900
Do I even like this person?

234
00:14:53,900 --> 00:14:55,900
Do they even know what they're talking about?

235
00:14:56,900 --> 00:14:57,900
How do I know that I'm making this crap up?

236
00:14:57,900 --> 00:14:59,900
You ever ask yourself that question?

237
00:15:00,900 --> 00:15:01,900
I do.

238
00:15:02,900 --> 00:15:04,900
I said to myself, I'm not a liar.

239
00:15:05,900 --> 00:15:06,900
I have no reason to lie to people.

240
00:15:07,900 --> 00:15:14,900
If I want to watch liars, I can go on CNN and MSNBC and ABC and all the other channels in my opinion, because guess what?

241
00:15:15,900 --> 00:15:16,900
That's why I think about them.

242
00:15:17,900 --> 00:15:21,900
They're fake news in my estimation for the most part, or they're exaggerated or anything else.

243
00:15:21,900 --> 00:15:27,900
So at the end of the day, I said to myself, I'm not a liar.

244
00:15:28,900 --> 00:15:29,900
I enjoy being honest with people.

245
00:15:30,900 --> 00:15:32,900
In fact, a lot of people don't like that I'm so honest about stuff.

246
00:15:33,900 --> 00:15:34,900
They're like, dang, that was harsh.

247
00:15:35,900 --> 00:15:37,900
You could add a little sugar or salt on that.

248
00:15:38,900 --> 00:15:43,900
And I said, no, sugar, excess sugar gives you diabetes and too much salt gives you hypertension.

249
00:15:44,900 --> 00:15:45,900
I don't need any of that.

250
00:15:46,900 --> 00:15:49,900
But it was that simple for me.

251
00:15:49,900 --> 00:15:50,900
But is it that simple for you?

252
00:15:51,900 --> 00:15:53,900
Is that why you're not pursuing your dreams?

253
00:15:54,900 --> 00:15:57,900
Are you afraid of what other people might think about you?

254
00:15:58,900 --> 00:16:01,900
Are you afraid that other people might judge you, look down on you?

255
00:16:02,900 --> 00:16:04,900
You don't need to go and tell everybody what you're doing all the time.

256
00:16:05,900 --> 00:16:06,900
We don't.

257
00:16:07,900 --> 00:16:09,900
Be silent and build the empire on a little like consent said.

258
00:16:10,900 --> 00:16:11,900
You can do that if you want.

259
00:16:12,900 --> 00:16:13,900
But you need to take that first step.

260
00:16:13,900 --> 00:16:18,900
That first step could set you free and help you live a life that you've always wanted.

261
00:16:19,900 --> 00:16:21,900
But only you have the power to take that step.

262
00:16:22,900 --> 00:16:23,900
Someone else can't do it for you.

263
00:16:24,900 --> 00:16:26,900
You could have all this apart in the world.

264
00:16:27,900 --> 00:16:29,900
But if you're not going to go out there and take that step forward.

265
00:16:30,900 --> 00:16:31,900
It's like you ever met those people who go on diets.

266
00:16:32,900 --> 00:16:37,900
But before they actually go on a diet, they're like, so I'm going to start my, I'm going to start my diet on Sunday.

267
00:16:38,900 --> 00:16:39,900
But before that, I'm going to eat whatever I want.

268
00:16:40,900 --> 00:16:41,900
And then I'm going to go on Facebook on Saturday.

269
00:16:41,900 --> 00:16:45,900
And I'm going to post a big thing about how I'm going to lose weight.

270
00:16:46,900 --> 00:16:49,900
And then the first week I'm going to post how much weight I've lost.

271
00:16:50,900 --> 00:16:51,900
Man, fuck all that shit.

272
00:16:52,900 --> 00:16:53,900
Who to what?

273
00:16:54,900 --> 00:16:55,900
That's just stupid.

274
00:16:56,900 --> 00:16:59,900
First of all, please don't ever be that person.

275
00:17:00,900 --> 00:17:01,900
You look stupid.

276
00:17:02,900 --> 00:17:06,900
First of all, so many people just either put you on silent or blocked you.

277
00:17:07,900 --> 00:17:08,900
But more than that.

278
00:17:08,900 --> 00:17:11,900
Don't do things for attention.

279
00:17:12,900 --> 00:17:14,900
Do it because you actually want to do it.

280
00:17:15,900 --> 00:17:17,900
I don't need to post pictures of me going into jail.

281
00:17:18,900 --> 00:17:23,900
I might one day for people, but I want to have a decent enough physique to prove that what I do works.

282
00:17:24,900 --> 00:17:27,900
Before I just regurgitate some other crap someone else has done.

283
00:17:28,900 --> 00:17:29,900
Or give you bad information.

284
00:17:30,900 --> 00:17:31,900
I don't want to do that.

285
00:17:32,900 --> 00:17:33,900
Why would anybody want to do that?

286
00:17:34,900 --> 00:17:35,900
I'm not here for a quick buck.

287
00:17:35,900 --> 00:17:43,900
If I was, I'd be lying to you about how great relationships are and how no one lies about anything and how I'm better than everybody.

288
00:17:44,900 --> 00:17:46,900
I mean, at the end of the day, what's the difference, right?

289
00:17:47,900 --> 00:17:48,900
Everybody does that shit.

290
00:17:49,900 --> 00:17:50,900
I'm not here to lie again.

291
00:17:51,900 --> 00:17:54,900
Speaking of honesty for a second.

292
00:17:55,900 --> 00:18:00,900
Apparently, statistically speaking, people who swear are more honest than people who don't.

293
00:18:01,900 --> 00:18:02,900
I don't know if that's true, but I heard that recently.

294
00:18:02,900 --> 00:18:04,900
I thought that was funny.

295
00:18:05,900 --> 00:18:08,900
Reminds me of my old military days when everybody would be swearing all the time.

296
00:18:09,900 --> 00:18:14,900
Versus those really polite people who talk really nice about you and then give you the brutal stab in the back treatment.

297
00:18:15,900 --> 00:18:16,900
A too brutal treatment.

298
00:18:17,900 --> 00:18:24,900
But my friends, all this is to say, I took that first step and I love my life now.

299
00:18:24,900 --> 00:18:31,900
The question is, what are you going to do that what is your first step that could change your life and set you free?

300
00:18:32,900 --> 00:18:34,900
What is that step for you?

301
00:18:35,900 --> 00:18:36,900
Because if you don't know, that's where you should start.

302
00:18:37,900 --> 00:18:40,900
But if you do know, then don't hold yourself back anymore.

303
00:18:41,900 --> 00:18:44,900
Look about how much you have to gain.

304
00:18:45,900 --> 00:18:49,900
I want you to win, but you need to want to win just as badly, if not more.

305
00:18:50,900 --> 00:18:51,900
And only you can do that.

306
00:18:51,900 --> 00:19:01,900
My friends, if you have any questions related to how I took my first step, why will my first step look like all that good stuff?

307
00:19:02,900 --> 00:19:03,900
Don't be afraid to ask me on Twitter.

308
00:19:04,900 --> 00:19:05,900
You can DM me. My DMs are open.

309
00:19:06,900 --> 00:19:08,900
Let's go to at ship gets shared.

310
00:19:09,900 --> 00:19:11,900
Austin Creed, you'll find me up and hit me up in the DMs.

311
00:19:12,900 --> 00:19:13,900
Ask me questions if you have them.

312
00:19:14,900 --> 00:19:16,900
I'm more than happy to answer them.

313
00:19:16,900 --> 00:19:20,900
My friends, I hope this motivates you.

314
00:19:21,900 --> 00:19:24,900
I really hope that you take this opportunity to better your life because it changed mine.

315
00:19:25,900 --> 00:19:26,900
This information I gave you today.

316
00:19:27,900 --> 00:19:29,900
I really hope that it does the same for you.

317
00:19:30,900 --> 00:19:32,900
Hopefully you don't have to go through such hard times that I did.

318
00:19:33,900 --> 00:19:37,900
Hopefully you can learn from my mistakes instead of having to learn to your own.

319
00:19:38,900 --> 00:19:39,900
My friends, God bless you.

320
00:19:40,900 --> 00:19:41,900
God bless your families and God bless America.

321
00:19:42,900 --> 00:19:43,900
Have a great day. I'm out.

322
00:19:43,900 --> 00:19:46,900
I might do something special for Christmas. I'll let you guys know what I decided to do.

323
00:19:47,900 --> 00:19:49,900
But until then, my friends, I really care about you.

324
00:19:50,900 --> 00:19:51,900
I want you to win out here.

00:19:52,900 --> 00:19:54,900
Stop getting down on yourself.

326
00:19:55,900 --> 00:19:56,900
Don't doubt yourself.

327
00:19:57,900 --> 00:19:59,900
You'll have plenty of doubters, haters, may sayers along the way.

328
00:20:00,900 --> 00:20:01,900
Don't let them do that work for you.

329
00:20:02,900 --> 00:20:03,900
My friends, take care of yourselves.

330
00:20:03,900 --> 00:20:12,900
I'm out. Peace.
