I can talk about that for an hour on one of my purposes but I'm driven by history.
00:00:25.920
You know, the saying goes, sometimes on the way to a dream, you get lost and find a bigger
00:00:40.520
You think it's all about all these other things but it's much bigger than that.
00:00:43.340
Then all of a sudden, one day you have a conversation with somebody or watch a video or watch a movie
00:00:47.440
or meet someone that just, boom, hits you in the face and says, wait a minute.
00:01:03.920
Too lazy to actually spend time thinking about it.
00:01:11.880
So they don't take time out to ask the question, what do you really want to do with your life?
00:01:17.540
I'm around a lot of different people, a lot of different people.
00:01:20.800
And I'll sit there and have conversations, you know what, I just partied with Jay-Z last
00:01:29.620
I love nice cars because I love the history and the engineering.
00:01:36.120
I got things some Ayrton Center fans that send me all the time.
00:01:40.500
Because I'm fascinated by the guy died on, I think, May 3rd, 1994, you know, from a race
00:01:48.800
May 1st or May 3rd, 1995, at the age of 34 years old, after being a three-time champion
00:01:52.820
and he should have been four-time against pro stand.
00:01:55.260
His mom in a clip says, I'm just so proud of my son because he's made us, and you see
00:01:59.660
him trying to wipe his tears, and the day he won the race in Brazil, he had never won
00:02:05.240
in Brazil, and he won the race in Brazil, and his shoulders, he can't pull up his shoulders,
00:02:08.500
and he gets out and he's just asking for his dad, asking for his dad, and he hugs his dad,
00:02:12.660
and he says, Dad, my shoulders are tight, and he doesn't know how to lift up the champion.
00:02:22.660
For a human being to truly want to find out, what's their maximum capacity?
00:02:27.360
Where the entire country was emotional when Senna died.
00:02:30.720
I mean, people said, we are one of the poorest countries in the world.
00:02:34.420
The only thing we had going on was Ayrton Senna, and I went, that's emotional.
00:02:40.040
I want to make an impact that's bigger than that.
00:02:42.580
But it only happens if you're actually willing to sit down and ask some of the questions,
00:02:47.160
the important questions in life, and I think, unfortunately, so many times, you're just going,
00:02:50.900
going, going, going, going, going, so eventually, you don't ask the important questions in life
00:02:58.160
And just so you know, about 7 billion people do this every 80 years.
00:03:05.460
You be part of the small community of people that says, you know what, maybe I'm not going
00:03:09.560
to start a company, but I'm going to be part of a company, and you better believe that
00:03:13.480
company is going to be impacted because of what I'm going to do, and one day I'm going
00:03:20.160
Maybe we are going to take the money that I'm making, and I'm going to go back and
00:03:27.660
So, as you process this and go through it, again, you can ask yourself the question, but
00:03:34.700
And don't you think it's time for you, as you're watching this, to have your why evolve.
00:03:40.160
