2:23
Speaker 1: Bro't you know Jay Anthony Brown did that one time
2:28
Speaker 1: my body and he put it and put it put
2:31
Speaker 1: his hand on my on my body one time a
2:33
Speaker 1: couple of years ago when I was doing time joining
2:34
Speaker 1: the show. So it has been done before. But I'm
2:38
Speaker 1: telling you some brother, you're you're a blessing because really,
2:40
Speaker 1: you know, I talked about a balanced life and it
2:43
Speaker 1: all goes back to good health, a good health and
2:46
Speaker 1: good good lifestyle. And that's the that's the core of
2:49
Speaker 1: how you operate. Because your popularity on you know, your
2:52
Speaker 1: powerful social media plan. And then like friends of mine,
2:55
Speaker 1: like Stephen A. Smith, you know, they they they screamed,
2:59
Speaker 1: they screen your the positives about you, even the relationship.
3:02
Speaker 1: When I had Morris on the show, Morris Chest on
3:04
Speaker 1: the show talking about the book which we are we
3:06
Speaker 1: will get into detail. It's about what what started all that?
3:10
Speaker 1: What you know, what started you into this this this
3:13
Speaker 1: program of fitness? Well you know what. I started off
3:16
Speaker 1: as an athlete. I was at tracking basketball athlete in
3:19
Speaker 1: high school and college. I was a school record holder
3:22
Speaker 1: at cow State Fullerton. I had a hundred or two
3:24
Speaker 1: months before and the relay. So um, I've always been
3:27
Speaker 1: an athlete, but I was a skinny, scrawny kid. So
3:29
Speaker 1: I made fun of um. And so what motivated me
3:33
Speaker 1: to get in the fitness and sculp my body and
3:35
Speaker 1: build my body was was being made fun of and
3:38
Speaker 1: then people saying you're scrawny, you're skinny or whatever. And
3:40
Speaker 1: so once I was able to build my body, I
3:44
Speaker 1: just had a huge motivation to desire to want to
3:46
Speaker 1: help others. And what I try to teach people, it's
3:49
Speaker 1: not about you trying to look like me. It's trying
3:52
Speaker 1: to It's about you being the best version of yourself.
3:55
Speaker 1: Because we all have our own DNA and the reality
3:59
Speaker 1: is that there's some people will never have my abs
4:02
Speaker 1: or my biceps in my back, but you can't be
4:04
Speaker 1: the best version of yourself d N A Y. And
4:08
Speaker 1: that's what I try to teach scope your best body,
4:11
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And that's really important. And
4:14
Speaker 1: because of the fact that it's about motivation and about
4:16
Speaker 1: looking in the mirror at you, and it's called you
4:18
Speaker 1: can win not I ways tell if everybody has a
4:21
Speaker 1: different story to success. And that's what you're telling me, Rashan.
4:24
Speaker 1: You know, because we laughed about me saying stick in
4:26
Speaker 1: my head on your body, rasha that's not your goal.
4:28
Speaker 1: Your goal is to be the best you. And that's
4:30
Speaker 1: the motivational factor that keeps everybody you know realized think
4:34
Speaker 1: can reach it correct. A lot of times people will
4:37
Speaker 1: quit because they're not able to they're not able to
4:41
Speaker 1: look like a certain person that quit and they're improving
4:46
Speaker 1: and they're getting better, but because they're not getting the results,
4:49
Speaker 1: is someone they see on Instagram, they just quit. And
4:52
Speaker 1: it always I'm always it always bothers me because I'm
4:55
Speaker 1: just like, look, you're you have. Everyone has a everyone
4:59
Speaker 1: has a different DNA what God gave us, and some
5:02
Speaker 1: of us are never going to look like a Lebron
5:04
Speaker 1: change or play basketball like him, or have apps like
5:07
Speaker 1: me or you know, it looked like Morris, you know.
5:10
Speaker 1: But you can't be the best version of yourself. And
5:12
Speaker 1: if you if you truly optimize your genetic potential, your
5:16
Speaker 1: genetic potential, you wont you succeeded. That's that's a that's
5:20
Speaker 1: a huge accomplishment. Now here's a I wrote this down
5:23
Speaker 1: so I can I can make this official announcement during
5:26

Speaker 1: How you doing, brother, I'm doing great man and pretty good.
16:18
Speaker 1: I appreciate you being on the show. Man. I want
16:21
Speaker 1: to tell you something. If it was very important that uh,
16:23
Speaker 1: when I first went on to diet Obi, is that,
16:26
Speaker 1: uh you know I would eight. I went out in
16:29
Speaker 1: shop normal. You know. I went out there because your
16:32
Speaker 1: book tells you what you can get. You know you
16:33
Speaker 1: can get it says, you know, buffalo wings, wavers, run
16:36
Speaker 1: chair olds, you can need Uh, carne taco, steak, turkey, chicken.
16:40
Speaker 1: You know, they have these little cheap meals that you
16:42
Speaker 1: can do it that like I talked about, but small,
16:43
Speaker 1: you know, fried chicken and all that, all those things.
16:46
Speaker 1: So I went out there and I shopped, and I'll
16:49
Speaker 1: tell you something, man, the food that I normally would have,
16:52
Speaker 1: that I normally buy lasted me for three weeks. And
16:55
Speaker 1: some stuff I had to go away, had to throw
16:57
Speaker 1: away because they let me know I was too much. Right, Yeah, absolutely,
17:04
Speaker 1: that's what happened. Sometimes when you start to eat healthy,
17:06
Speaker 1: sometimes it feels like, man, I can't eat. I can't
17:09
Speaker 1: finish all this food. You know, because it's true nutrients,
17:12
Speaker 1: it's not dense nutrients. We know all the thing about
17:15
Speaker 1: it was like I can started asking myself, why why
17:18
Speaker 1: am I eating all this food? And your book, your
17:21
Speaker 1: book helped me understand that I wanted. I wanted to
17:24
Speaker 1: say that I can't say extreme. This is extreme turnt.
17:28
Speaker 1: I was killing myself because I was just putting stuff
17:31
Speaker 1: in my body my body didn't even need. And here's
17:34
Speaker 1: the here's the cool thing about it. And I gotta
17:36
Speaker 1: tell everybody me losing that when I got down to
17:39
Speaker 1: tin my workouts got easier because guess what, I wasn't
17:42
Speaker 1: working out with ten pounds. When I got down to
17:45
Speaker 1: fifteen my workouts in fact, you know, I went from
17:48
Speaker 1: three reps to four and some of them I was
17:51
Speaker 1: doing on dips I was doing I was doing fifteen.
17:54
Speaker 1: I went to per set because I was lighter. You
17:59
Speaker 1: were lighter, you more and you had more energy, You
18:01
Speaker 1: had more endurance. And that's what happens when you when
18:04
Speaker 1: you were leaning. When you drop more weight, you're able
18:07
Speaker 1: to you have more energy to function throughout the day.
18:09
Speaker 1: And so um, that's all part of the process, you know,
18:13
Speaker 1: and and the whole exercise thing. And you start with
18:15
Speaker 1: what you can do. That's why you have we at
18:17
Speaker 1: the beginner and the intermediate and the advance, and you
18:20
Speaker 1: got the gym and home exercise so you can pick
18:23
Speaker 1: you know what what is uh? You know what's convenient
18:26
Speaker 1: for your lifestyle. I know I knew you weren't ready
18:28
Speaker 1: for the Obie. I know you were ready for you
18:30
Speaker 1: just a tip you call to do an interview with
18:32
Speaker 1: well on my show. You wouldn't ready for me. Just
18:34
Speaker 1: smash you with sixteen pounds. Laws you wouldn't ready. You
18:37
Speaker 1: know what man, I was. I was not ready for that. Man.
18:40
Speaker 1: I thought maybe you stupid about a week or two,
18:42
Speaker 1: and then then you call the day man. So I'm
18:44
Speaker 1: just flattered and arnored. Man. You you're following through. Man.
18:47
Speaker 1: The fact that you dropped that amount of waiting such
18:49
Speaker 1: a short amount of time is U is really uh
18:52
Speaker 1: makes me feel really good because it works ten pounds
18:54
Speaker 1: a pound of day. That's called the cut. Let's just
18:56
Speaker 1: talk about you some of your nutrition supplements that you've created.
19:01
Speaker 1: I just started a new supplement line called Obi Strong
19:04
Speaker 1: and with a couple of business partners in mind. The
19:06
Speaker 1: reason why I decided to do it because I was
19:08
Speaker 1: disgusted with the supplement industry in general, uh, the fraud
19:12
Speaker 1: and the fillers and the overloaded of stimulants. And I
19:16
Speaker 1: stopped taking supplements a couple of years ago because I
19:18
Speaker 1: couldn't trust the ingredients in the products. And I really
19:21
Speaker 1: want to make the industry better. Um, And so I
19:24
Speaker 1: decided to start this line with some business partners of mine,
19:27
Speaker 1: and natural natural ingredient line that had no stimulants onceoever.
19:33
Speaker 1: UM all the all of the ingredients are all natural,
19:36
Speaker 1: gluten free, low sodium, low sugar, UM and everyone loves
19:41
Speaker 1: the products. We have a Obie Slim. It's an appetite
19:44
Speaker 1: suppressing supplement that has a digestive enzyme blend that actually
19:48
Speaker 1: allows you to absorb all of the nutrients and helps
19:50
Speaker 1: the digest properly and it prevents you from overeating. It
19:54
Speaker 1: signals your body. And we had I have a lady
19:57
Speaker 1: that I lost twenty pounds in one month taking Obie
19:59
Speaker 1: Slim along with my diet and all the only exercise
20:02
Speaker 1: he did was walk walk with me. We got way protein,
20:07
Speaker 1: we got Obi Stein pre workout, no jitters whatsoever, and
20:11
Speaker 1: Obi Healthy Heart. In fact, Dominique Wilkins he takes our products.
20:14
Speaker 1: He loved it. And he's not sponsored at all, but
20:17
Speaker 1: he tried it out and he loved it and gave
20:18
Speaker 1: it to the Atlanta Hawks and stuff, and so Morris
20:20
Speaker 1: loves it. Um. So we're gonna blow this thing up,
20:23
Speaker 1: this whole Obie Strong thing. So I'm very excited about it,
20:26
Speaker 1: and so work. Where can he find a product? Go
20:31
Speaker 1: to Obi strong dot com, o b I strong dot
20:34
Speaker 1: com and and and just go go to obi strong
20:37
Speaker 1: dot com to check out our supplement products. You know,
20:40
Speaker 1: And I'll never tell anybody to buy the supplements and
20:43
Speaker 1: and don't exercise, and and and and and and eat right.
20:46
Speaker 1: That's anyone that tells you that that's fraudulent. You know,
20:48
Speaker 1: you still have to do all the right things. The
20:51
Speaker 1: supplement is meant to assist you. That's what it's meant
20:53
Speaker 1: to do, assist, not replace eating food. And that's why
20:56
Speaker 1: I was just that's why I wanted you just keep
20:58
Speaker 1: telling everybody that I've I've done this being a regular guy,
21:02
Speaker 1: a regular guy, because a lot of people can look
21:03
Speaker 1: at me at being a celebrity and oh, you know what,
21:05
Speaker 1: Sean probably got a trainer. No I don't, No, I don't.
21:07
Speaker 1: I don't have a trainer. No. This book allowed me
21:10
Speaker 1: to be Rashwan and figuring myself out and figure out
21:14
Speaker 1: who Sean was out and lose weight accordingly. That's what
21:17
Speaker 1: you were saying at the very beginning of the interview.
21:19
Speaker 1: Don't be o B B. Rashaw. It's about every day
21:23
Speaker 1: It's about transforming every day real people. That's what it's about.
21:26
Speaker 1: Of course, myself and Morrison on the cover, and Morris
21:29
Speaker 1: is kind of the the guinea pig, but it's really
21:31
Speaker 1: about you know. That's why we did a focus group
21:33
Speaker 1: on regular people on the back of the cover because
21:35
Speaker 1: people can identify with a regular, every day after day person.
21:39
Speaker 1: Then maybe some celebrity out there that got in shape
21:41
Speaker 1: for a movie. And that's what it's you know, Um,
21:44
Speaker 1: you know you've had me on your show, and I
21:46
Speaker 1: really appreciate you having me on your show. I love that.
