What have you been obsessed with lately? What would you say is the thing you're most obsessed
with right now or that you have been in the past couple of years that has kind of just attracted?
I've been obsessed with getting my team right. I've been obsessed with getting the right personnel
on the right brain frequency and getting everybody on the same page to accomplish
these things that we need to go accomplish because I truly believe it's going to be
better for everyone. I think it's really going to make an impact. And so there's a
obsessiveness that you got to have to over communicate, to follow up, to be redundant,
to be consistent that you need. And I'm obsessed about it. Strengthening my family,
I'm obsessed over it, you know, to lead by example, you know, and break generational trauma
and curses. I'm obsessed over it. And I'm obsessed over every project that I lend myself to. So this
next movie that me and Ryan's doing, I'm literally, you know, I'm growing all my stuff out.
You know what I mean? My hair and stuff is out now. I'm becoming obsessed with it, you know,
and that character. And it's an addictive feeling to have a thought and see it come to fruition,
to create something out of, you know, from an idea and to be persistent and to see it
and to manifest it, you know, manifestation. I just love it. You know what I mean? It's cool.
So that's something that I've been really, really locked in with. And I think it's also something
that is going to help people. You know, there's always a, I don't want anything that's not
multi-hyphenate. I want anything that I'm involved in. It has to have layers to it.
You know, how do you help? How do you educate? What's the leave behind? What blueprint am I
leaving for the next generation? You know, I got a nephew now, you know, that is looking up at me
constantly. Yes, because of height, but also because of the example, you know, and he's
mimicking everything I do. He's mimicking anything. I can say something, do something,
I can sit a certain type of way. He's doing it too. It's crazy. So it clarifies your intention
when you do things because you want it to have, you know, purpose and intention, you know?
So those are the things. And I'm obsessed with being the best version of myself.
And that's a daily thing, you know? And some days are better than others. Finding myself
in a world where there's so many seen opinions about yourself, when everybody's telling you
who and what you are, you know, learning how to live, you know, growing up in it,
like it's so wild. I've been doing this for 25 years straight, you know? And that's a
wild thing to think about. But man, more than half of my life has been my identity,
has been through the work that I've been doing. And growing up with, you know, social media,
what didn't exist, now it does. At a point where I'm old enough to understand what that can do.
So I'm obsessed with finding myself now after, and not having to prove anything to anybody
other than myself and my family, you know? Really myself. And realizing that that is enough.
You know what I'm saying? Like giving your best is enough. And sometimes we lose track of that,
you know? And yeah. So for anybody out there, you know, you're enough, man.
