00:00:00.000 This guard opens this door.

00:00:01.400 His name is Brian.

00:00:02.200 He looks at me and he just asks me,

00:00:03.620 what are you doing here, Dan?

00:00:04.900 I go, well, I got in a fight with Kirk

00:00:06.400 and, you know, they threw us in the hole.

00:00:07.840 He says, no, not that.

00:00:08.900 He goes, what are you doing in this place?

00:00:10.080 And I was like, well, I got in a high-speed chase

00:00:12.620 and I had guns in the car.

00:00:13.980 And he goes, I've seen you stay out of trouble,

00:00:17.500 try to finish your homework, do all the right things.

00:00:20.060 And I've been here for 10 years.

00:00:21.800 And I want you to hear this.

00:00:22.920 If nobody's ever told you this, you don't belong here.

00:00:25.140 And you need to get out of this place.

00:00:27.020 And he was telling me essentially

00:00:28.460 that he saw the goodness in me.

00:00:30.420 That planted a seed inside of me

00:00:32.360 of maybe I'm not as bad as I thought I was.

00:00:34.460 And eventually I got to meet him and to thank him.

00:00:37.020 And he kind of didn't remember the conversation.

00:00:42.460 Because he had it all the time,

00:00:44.640 he had that conversation with a lot of kids.

00:00:47.260 And one of the lessons I'd love to share with you guys is

00:00:49.180 I've gone on to realize that that costs us nothing

00:00:52.240 and that we can do that to any other person at any point.
