Time I figured out I was lacking in a lot of Areas you know because I have a high School diploma so you hear the whole Saying if you're the smartest person in Your group you need a new group I figured that out right away so I Always look for people that were smarter Than me and I've surrounded myself by People who are smarter than I am now Here's here's the catch with me I don't Care how smart you are I don't care what You know They ain't a person living go out hustle You can't hustle my grind is unnatural There's no one on this Earth on today That's going to out hustle me my father Taught me that he said boy look they can Outthrow you they can outrun you they Can outdash you they can out sing you But don't you let no man outwork you Work covers a lot of things my ability To work and grind covered a lot of my Flaws and so I started surrounding Myself with really really smart people And the smarter I got in this business I Kept looking for people who did Something better than me [Music] Let me ask you a question how many of You in here have been through some hard Times How many of you have had some days you Ain't know how you was gonna make it

What helps me is my transparency see the Fact that I'm willing to tell people That I messed up that I made mistakes Because you gonna mess up and make a Mistake you don't think you can make it [Music] So see what I decided was to be Transparent about it and I appreciate Y'all doing this study on my life Because like it's it's a trip man you Know I'm I'm just a hood boy I come out Of Cleveland Ohio I come from the dirt And y'all and I'm at a law school I'm a Case study and then y'all said you don't Know who you're gonna do next whoever it Is it ain't fitting to beat me [Music] Very few people gonna give it to you the Way I'm gonna give it to you because They don't want it they they want to Tell you about this side of it they Don't want to tell you about the side That got them here that's my specialty I'm telling you you fitting to mess up So bad You Finna blow it But you can blow it And recover from that Let me tell you something you're allowed To make three major mistakes in your Life and you gonna use up all of them I didn't use my three I have no more [Music] All right
You're gonna need everything that Happens to you you're going to need it To happen in the exact order that it Happens to get you where you want to go Remember something Listen to me Everything you're going to go through And going through is God preparing you For what you asked for That's that's a fact man young people Listen to me that's a fact look if You're not a spiritual person look I Know you was what's coming so I I just Have the way I talk and this is the way I am I'm just telling you spirituality Has something to do it don't get hung up Out here with this ignorant mess right Here this whole ain't no God My mother was a Sunday school teacher And she told me when I was a little boy I didn't understand it then but she kept Saying boy one day God gonna give you a big house up on the Hill You can't get a big house up on the hill And don't tell nobody else how to get up There She said remember that and that stuck With me when I got old I finally learned What she was talking about And the foundation got formed 20 Two years ago When my father died
And It was second Most crippling Time of my life the worst thing ever Happened to me was my mama died when I Was 40. man That pain I thought I was gonna die man And I'm a tough dude you know I'm I'm Really tough I'm really tough guy man I Can take a lot but my mama passed man Can I talk I didn't know what to do She was the greatest person I had ever Known in my life three years later my Father died from heartbreaking He wasn't sick or nothing he just his Heart was broken he's telling me all the Time boy Guess I just gonna see your mama this Ain't nothing down here without him And I said man That was cold to me and at my father's Funeral when he was in that casket man I Was sitting there And I was thinking on that day I said Man What would I have done if it wasn't for This dude right here I there's no way I could have make it I Grew up on 112th Superior I'm in the Hood we we was doing some tough catch up In there man And it it's just no way I would have Gotten out of there without his guidance
And on the plane Going back home after the funeral I said Man What do boys do that ain't got no father What do they do Because I'm trying to tell you something Man Trying to be a man Without a male role model Is like an Explorer without a map It just ain't no way to get help and so I said man I gotta start doing something About that so I said my Foundation was Going to be originally Boys who were from single parent homes Headed up by women And I was going to teach them the Principles of manhood and how to dream Because you know it's hard for single Women when they got boys because it's a Daunting task for a woman to try to Raise a boy Because you have no idea how to do it And that's not any just being Disrespectful to a woman it's like when Brandon Carly was born I had no idea how To turn a girl into a woman what do I Know about it I ain't no woman Their mother did that She turned them into ladies and women I Don't know the first thing about it so Guess what you can raise your child to Be law abiding God-fearing You know smart a good student but you
Can't turn him into a man though It takes another man to do that so I Started the foundation at first just for Boys And it my whole mission with these boys Is to teach them only two things the Principles of manhood and dream building [Music] See one of the problems with school Systems today And this ain't knocking education I just Know what the problem is because it's a Problem for me see School Doesn't teach you how to be successful What school does teach you how to Memorize recall information And apply some logical thought And then if you can recall it good Enough we'll give you an a And we'll give you a high G Point GPA And we'll give you a degree And that's perfectly fine But after that We gotta start doing this thing called Life and life ain't got nothing to do With your GPA life don't care that you Magnum Laude Hell don't give a damn man I'm telling You right now it just don't and so what I focus on and the problems with schools Instead of having study hall you know What schools should Implement schools Should Implement a dream building course
For kids to sit them down in a room once Every 30 days and just talk about their Dreams Because your dreams is more important Than your education Nothing is bigger than the dream see you Dream one day of being a lawyer and Inspired you to get the education to Fulfill the dream See without the dream man you're gonna Drop out You ain't gonna pass the bar Your dream is to be a lawyer You dig but if you take the dream out The equation what you in here for You studying this hard if you if you Don't see your day itself one day being A lawyer you're gonna go through this You've already been in school for years You got a degree I don't know why you in Here you people are brilliant but it's This dream that's got you in here so if Schools would Implement a dream system To ask people see if you ask a little Boy what you dream of doing I want to Fly an airplane well you ain't got to Kick it go to school now cause now guess What to fly airplane you probably gonna Need to be good at math and science and Engineering it Spurs them to get an Education That's what the dream is doing so I Talked to the boys about dream and what Real manhood is real manhood real men
Take care of their children real men Honor women real men obey the law real Men go to work every day Our young people today man I don't care What nobody say they even feel how you Want to feel like I say this one right Here Little man you can change a person's Life with your dream I'm in front of this log school today Cause at 10 at 10 I dreamed of being on TV at 10. But see you you got to write these Visions out yeah you you think that's it When you become a lawyer nah man you got Obligations after that You got to change some lives you got to Get right so the mentoring Camp I got Was to get young men to dream and become The proper type of men real men it ain't Your Realms it ain't your chain them Ain't your girls in the video that ain't Your money to spread on the table It's not Now the girls program is different Because Marjorie takes girls from all Different backgrounds Marjorie's philosophy is if you mix the Privilege with the underprivileged and You give the underprivileged a chance to See what the privileged side lives like They get a vision of what that is but Then you take the privilege and all of a Sudden they develop a heart for the
Underprivileged see y'all y'all right Now y'all privileged The question is will you have a heart For the underprivileged After you become lawyers when you change Something you can do it man Cause it ain't just about the money So we spend millions of dollars on this Camp So he taught me to size up so this Camp Will allow me to service thousands of Boys and girls instead of hundreds And you have to give back most of you Come from families that understand that You have to give back God blesses you to Become a blessing You know you can't It doesn't work any other way For somebody To think enough of me to do something Like this Is deep I ain't no study [Music] I'm a miracle I'm telling you [Music]
