• 5:55
  Speaker 1: My brother, Oh my God, and God bless you for
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the work that you're doing. Radio program is outstanding. Its
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: gangster that's what it really is. And exceptionalism. Man, I
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: don't know. I mean that from my heart. I love you.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Keep doing God's work. You are really adding tremendous value
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: to the lives of our people. Man. So it's an
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: honor to be on your show this morning. I'm just
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: tickled big. I'll be honest with you. Well, George, I
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: want to say thank you for that. And that's why,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: First of all, your your parents on my show is
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: long overdue because I've been fan and Uh. I met
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: you several years ago, Steve Harving. Now I did an
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: event with you up in Ohio and Uh. But but
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: your your your pioneer and UH, when you're a pioneer
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: in something that means that a lot of people tell
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: you that's not a good idea. Why are you doing
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: trying to do that? How did you overcome negative spirits?
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: That's why I like to call negative spirits um uh,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: just to be candid and and and succinct. Uh. Fundamentally,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: um A ignored them. I ignored them. UM. I know
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: that God has a plan for me. I know that
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: there are obstacles that I will have to overcome uh
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: to fulfill the plan that God has for me. Uh.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: And one of the obstacles is overcoming negativity and overcoming
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: what people tell you you can or cannot do. Uh,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: and understanding that it's not how you start, it's how
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: you finished. In spite of the fact that I grew
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: up in an orphanages and foster care and mop floors
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: on the midnight ship at La Guardia Airport for three
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: years of my life to learn humility, UM, I knew
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: that that that was not my life, that it was
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: just lessons that I needed to learn. So so it's
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: a lot of self talk. We have to talk to
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: ourselves positively. We have to tell the mind what we want,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: not what other people want for us. Um. And I
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: mean that in a loving and giving way, because there
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: are people that come into our lives and our mentors,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: that are coaches, that are elders that we must listen
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: to and give us God. But fundamentally, uh mentors, coaches
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: and elders do not speak negatively. They speak positively and powerfully,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: like Steve Harvey does, like you do, like people that
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: you have around encircled your life. So that's how I
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: do it. I mean, it's no more complicated than that.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Listen to God, listen to yourself. God is constantly talking
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: to you, telling you exactly what to do, except most
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: people choose not to listen. Listen because God is telling
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: us to change, to listen, to grow intellectually, to read uh,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: and to be uh, you know, curious, mentally curious. We
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: are mentally lazy people. To many of us, we're not
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: intellectually curious. So God is telling us exactly what to
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: do every minute of every day, but we choose not
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: to listen because we don't want to change. It's just
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: easier sitting on a couch, drinking or being watching television.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: So you must avoid that. We must man up, We
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: must woman up. We must demonstrate the gangsterism in black people.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: And I'm redefining gangster rashan to be black exceptionalism, Black exceptionalism,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: not the thug life, but black exceptional with Steve Harvey
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: is gangster. You are gangster, showing you've been gangster ever
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: since I've been knowing you. I mean, I mean when
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: you when you look at what Steve Harvey has done.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: And I know Steve Harvey right. I've been in Cleveland
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: for fifty two years. My partner Greg Williams, my late
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: partner Greg Williams, and I had a nightclub and Steve
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Harvey was one of the first comedians we hired for
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: our nightclub back in the early eighties when we looked
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: at what Steve Harvey has done with the proper management,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: the proper input, the proper people around you. Uh, he's
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: one of my heroes. I mean when he really is,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: he is one of my heroes. Uh. And so that
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: he and I know that Steve Harvey, with the help
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: of you, has overcome all kinds of men. You can't
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: do that, all kinds of negativity. That's because you have
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: to surround yourself with the right people and then visions
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: and uh and and with Steve and I as you
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: sit down all the time, and he go, you really
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: think I can do that? And because I always felt
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: that he could cross over. I always felt that his
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: talent or his his his form of entertainment could be
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: relatable to anybody. And he was a hard worker. And
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: I feel that when when you talk about God, you
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: talk about a lot of people want to listen. There's
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: always time to how much effort you want to do
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: because the gold and opportunity for you to succeed is there,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: and you've been doing this all your life. What is
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: the next step in your business journey? That's right, that's right,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: because you know we live in America, this is the
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: greatest country in the world. I said, every place the
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: black people have been dispersed South Africa, Central Africa, East Africa,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: West Africa, North Africa, all over South America, all over
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: the Caribbean. There are no black people in the entire
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: world doing better than we are. So there is an
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: unlimited opportunity in this country in spite of the racism
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: in this country. And we still live in a racist country,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: make no mistake about that. So opportunity is not lacking
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: in America. Um, what what is lacking among the black
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: people is capacity building, the capacity having the positive mental
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: attitude to take advantage of the tremendous opportunities that are everywhere.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Steve saw it, You saw it, I saw it, and
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: I can listen for you. Thousands of brothers and sisters,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: in spite of their circumstances, in spite of the isms
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: of America, have succeeded at the highest levels in this country.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: And it's important that you say that, because first of all,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: one has the midday is a problem. But don't allow
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: the problem to win. Okay, don't let your color, your
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: skin to become a negative. And I've always said that.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: I said to my daughter. I said to anybody who
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: walks up to me, I always tell people there in life,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: if you're trying to be in the decision making position,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: nobody makes a decision. Nobody looks behind them to make
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: a decision. They always look at you. They look left
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: and right. So your your your job is to be
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: in the sight range. You know, if you are looking
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: behind yourself saying, hey, I'm back here trying to make
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: a decision, that's too much effort to go what you're
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: doing back there, They're gonna look all, they're gonna look left,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: they're gonna look right now right, did you're not position
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: yourself to be in sightline? Don't claim racism? Don't there
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: you go. If you ever if you ever flew any
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: place right, if you ever got on a jet plane
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: with the pilot, you notice that there are no rear
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: view mirrors on a jet plane. Right. They're going forward, man,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: They're going forward in six hundred miles an hour. They're
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: not looking backwards. They're going forward. So that's a profound
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: point and a profound inside. And I hope you're listening
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: audience takes that to heart, because that's exactly I look forward.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I didn't care about the negativity. Steve didn't care about it.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: You didn't care about it. We were looking forward and
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: we were pressing the medal to putting the metal to
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: the pedal. Le meass it this. So you said, the
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: power cropfers Larne day. Do you have any dates and
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: when it wears the conference? Yes, the conferences in Houston, Texas.

• 12:55
  Speaker 1: fifth or sixth largest Black population in America, about six
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand half Frican Americans, but the fifty thousand Nigerians
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: who have migrated to Houston because of it's the oil
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: center of the United States as Nigeria as I think

  Speaker 1: welcome to Money Making Conversations Byron Davis. Thank you, guys.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: I was wondering who you were talking about. I was
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: looking at for that. You need to really need to
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: stop backing. I just go back when we when we
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: first met many years ago, used to come up to
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: the Steve Hard Morning Show. I was the producer. We
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: just we just we were chopping up back then when
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: you were doing those Magic Johnson All Star Games back
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: in the day. Man, I've always been a big fan
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: of yours. But one thing I wanted to say about
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: you is that I said renaissance. Man. I said that
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: with with with a lot of uh, I say pride,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: because man, you've always from the jump you kind of
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: like you kind of like started this little motion for
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: these athletes going out there into entertainment. So I'm gonna
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: give you credit, man, because you jumped out there first,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: and because you you you know you you you. You've
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: had an amazing career because I always tell people because
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: I followed your career and unfortunately it was filled with injuries,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: and but every time you came back from an injury,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: you performed at a high level. And I want to
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: just thought that right quick, was what was that motivation?
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Because a lot of times when you get injured, you
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: can just give up. You can just go hey, man, wow,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: I'm tired of this. But you came back. Every time
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: you came back, Man, you was a bad man on
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: that court. Explained to us. How did that happen? Burn? Man?
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: You know, I think it's just from my upbringing. You know,
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: uh got survive right, And you know it's like now
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: people are calling it uh PTSD right, Uh, But I
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: think that when you grew up, a situation is like
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: you know, in the in the city, he's just way
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: out to survive. And when you're back against the wall,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: it's almost like you're so used to that, You're so comfortable,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: that's familiar with that, that it just becomes the norm.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: And so for me, you know, every time I got injured,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: you know, I always know I have my mind and
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: you know, my imaginations and and will and you just
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: don't realize how much how much you can benefit from having,
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: you know, great imaginations, because that's really what it's driven
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: you to this point away from basketball, uh, getting into projects.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: How does like say I used to word independent mogul,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: you know in the movie game, how does want to
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: bring an idea to you? Because I'm sure you get
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: you get you get addressed with this situation all the time.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Somebody got an idea, Hey man, all that needs some
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: money from you? Burn, Come on, mare, hook me up.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: I get your idea gonna make you use dollars? What
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: drives you in the created platform? For me, it's being creative.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: It's being a person who always asked people for money.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Hey man, let me get them let me get some
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: money to make a movie from you know what, what
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: what Jarge need is is I think that there's an
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: opportunity and um, you know, to tell great stories and
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: stories about us, stories about you know, how we um,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: who we are, what we do see ourselves in different lives. Um,
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: you know you're starting to see a little bit. Black
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Panther was one. Um, you know, we got to get
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: out and Moonlights. So you know, there's always gonna renaissance
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: of black cinema. And you know, for me, just I
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: want to be a historian, you know and be a
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: part of that. And so creatively is going back and
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: you know, mining our culture. Let me match you this now,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: you know, because you wanted to talk about technology and
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: there's a there's a huge gap that you that you
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: want to make you're trying to close. How are you
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: playing a role in closing the racial gap? Because I've
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: always been a proponent. Are a person that says that
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: you know, we buy technology, you know, African Americans we
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: buy smartphones, we buy we buy Apple phones, you know,
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: but sometimes we don't get credit for that. We don't
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: get credit for being technically savvy, and we are. So
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: how do you how do you? How do you are
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: you using your brand to close that gap of information? Uh?
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: From me, it's just about right. You gotta hire, you
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: gotta invest, you gotta find the people who who are
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: doing that. Um. I was just visiting with a lady
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: who's been in over thirty five years in last years,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: and she's game, excuse me, pushing technology for thirty five
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: years and now it's finally out of place where people
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: can well, we can actually get some credit. Right. But
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: we have all these pioneers, all these hidden figures throughout
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: our history, and we've just never embraced them. And now
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: that everything is a buzz word, right, it's almost like
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: we always think that we're late. Right, We're not late
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: to technology because technology is going to be the baseline
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: of this world. We just don't support and rally around
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: our elders and rally around the people that have done
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: it and then pay it back. And so for me,
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: I think that you know, tech is that is a
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: it's a buzz word but it's something that you know,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: we should be teaching our kids now, I said it
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: better on the high path than we are. So we
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: should be teaching them out of code, should be teaching
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: them how to design, right, we should be putting them
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: in design camps things like that. Um, you know, even
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: if as much as even when they play sports, they
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: got to take art and to take a language, and
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: they're gonna have to do something with that computer, right
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: because the way the world is going and the way
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: the opportunity is, you know, you never know, you never
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: know what kid is gonna once they learned how to
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: code out of South Essential may wind up be a
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: five time off thing and code. Hey man, I'm gonna
• 37:33

• 44:24
  Speaker 1: Let me give you some quotes. Some some recent um
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: newspaper and magazines and USA Today dated January. He was
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: called the most powerful talent in the sports business just
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: a year ago, and he followed it up with his
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: best year as a professional. First Take had his highest
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: rated ever ratings ever since. It's since it largely nearly
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: a decade ago after making the move to ESPN, combining
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: his quest to annihilate the competition alone with management showing
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: more belief in him than ever before, there's no reason
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: to believe the face of ESPN will not change soon.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: Here's another quote from The New Yorker magazine dated June
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: how the star first Take became ESPN's most recognizable face.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: Here's another quote from another article recently in USA Today
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: dated September. September, he would do anything for ESPN, but
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: his ambitions. Don't stop there. I love it. Please working
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: the money, making conversations, sports and General Hospital, soap opera
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: star stephen A. Smith? What's going on man? How are
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: you doing? I'm doing fantastic, Steven. I wish, I wish
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: I was a star in General Hospital. I gotta work
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: on my active SHOT's going off. I'm going good man. Uh.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: First of all, um, just just how did that start?
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't just get that out real quick because a
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: lot of people know about it. A lot of people
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: don't know about it. But you really enjoy appearing on
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: General Hospital as the character Brick No, I love it. Um.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: You know, it's a lot of fun because I grew
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: up watching the soap coming to home from school. We
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: had a couple of TVs in my house, and I
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: had four older sisters and they were all watching General Hospital.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: You know, we were an ABC family. That's why I
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: so ironic that I'm with the ESPN and the part
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: of the Walt Disney an ABC family because that's the
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: main channel we grew up watching. And um, if you
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: wanted to watch TV after you came home from school,
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: you had to watch you in the hospital because the
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: two TVs we had in my house. That's what the
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: TV was on. And if you didn't want to do that,
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: then you're gonna have to go and do your homework. So,
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: you know, usually usually we ended up watching General Hospital.
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: And I've been watching General Hospital since I was about
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: seven years old and I've never stopped ever since I'm fifty,
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: it's been about three years and I have been watching
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: General Hospital. And I remember one time I showed up
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: at General Hospital and the cast there, uh, you know,
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: trying to test me. They're like, we here that you're
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: this guy that's watched this, and they would ask me
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: about a scene. I said, actually, no, that wasn't de Seve.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: This was the Sea and it was before they had
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: even appeared on the show. And they were there for
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: like twenty years. And my wealthy Hell no, I ain't broke, okay.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: And I came from the historically black institution after getting
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: left back in the fourth grade, and I climbed the
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: charts and through sheer hard work and determination and ultimately
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: made myself into what I am today. Anybody out there,
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: you got a good possibility to be Stephen A. Smith.
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: It's a one of a billion shot you'll ever be
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: a Kobe or j V or anybody else like that.
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: And that's the kind of message that I want to send.
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: And that's what that's the kind of message that my
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: book is going to resonate. What about because that's important
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: because I love that you said that, because you know,
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: as they say, if you have the physical talents, that
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: separates you. But you're saying and also you were dyslexic. Correct,
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: that's right, that's correct, and we shouldn't we shouldn't, and
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: that that didn't stop you. That that the level of
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: determination and guidance uh that you that you had along
• 48:02

• 48:16
  Speaker 1: of the fact that he's a naturally smart guy and

  Speaker 1: he always corrects me. That's our Joe, I running Joe Rashan, Rashan,
• 48:23

  Speaker 1: And that was the value that I did not appreciate
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: years ago that I learned to appreciate a large part
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: because of you, your success with the Steve Harvey Morning Show,
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: the way that I would see you do things behind
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: the scenes and what have you and and and the
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: reason why I give you so much credit is because
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: you know I would do radio because I was good
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: at it. I was told I would do radio eventually,
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: because those things came about in terms of me recognizing
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: its potency. But where you really came in that you
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: taught me to enjoy it as well. I actually have
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: funding radio now that wasn't always the case. Who My
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: last question is your book is that you know people
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: all people I've seen the college students asking I've seen
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, I was in the l a with You're
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: walking around people with the book at when you're gonna
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: put out the book? When is the book gonna happened?
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: Stephen A. Smith? And what will the book be about?
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: The book will be written by the end of the year.
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: I've already written a couple of chapters, um, you know,
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: and it's a motivation of book, you know, essentially through
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: the lens of my life, my story and what got
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: me here today. You know, as I said on on
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: First Take one day a couple of years ago, that
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: really resonated virally. Um, I said, you know what people
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: look at the Kobe Bryant, the Shaquille O'Neil, jay Z
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: and others. And they called them the American dream, and
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: I say, no, I'm the American dream. They're in. They're
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: in American fantasy turned reality. But it's a one in
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: a billion shot that you can be them. But guess
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: what you could be Stephen A Smith, who all I
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: did was bust my tail, work hard and climb the
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: ladder um and it would do nothing but sheer, hard work, determination. Uh,
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: And I guess some modicum of intelligence or whatever the
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: case may be. The bottom line is that it's not
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: a fantasy to become me. You can do it. A
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: lot of people can do it because I did it
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: the older you know, the old fashioned way. I just
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: worked hard of it. That's not to imply that those
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: guys that I mentioned to and worked very hard. I'm
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: simply saying, look at the you know, the the talent
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: that they have, the gifts that they have been blessed with,
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: and ultimately the wealth they were able to accumulate because

  Speaker 1: of it. And my wealthy Hell no, I ain't broke, okay.
