Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, guys, here we are our last break of
the day on this Friday. It's been a good day.
It's been a good day. Thank you to everyone who
listens every day. We appreciate you so much. We love you. Steve,
take us out.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
What was the last of would you rather that you
gave Sureley?

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Well, one of the would you rather take a risk
and fail miserably or never never try anything?

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Would you rather take a risk and fail miserably or
never try anything new?

Speaker 1 (00:30):
And you said take a risk.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Of course, there's only one way to live, and that
is to take the risk because in the risk lies
your opportunity. If you don't take chances, oh, you're playing
it safe. You don't fall, you don't get hurt, you
don't get rejected, but you also don't move. You cannot

(00:55):
grow without risk. I've taken some of the I've had.
Listen to me. I've had far more failures than I
have had successes. I can assure you that I have
had way more failures than successes. But see, a lot

(01:16):
of people don't understand what I've learned, that it's all
a part of the process. So let me give you
a piece of information that can help you with the
ls you take in LIFs. Sometimes you hear people say, man,
I'm tired of taking al's. You know, al is a
slang term for losses. You know, Man, I don't want

(01:36):
I'm tired of taking these als. But when you take
an L, you have to look at it the right way.
I ain't never had no losses. I had a lot
of al's, but I ain't never had no losses because
all my ls wasn't losses. All my l's was lessons.
And see, you got to understand that that's what it is.

(02:00):
If you quit looking at your ales as losses and
understanding them ales as lessons, you start handling them better.
Remember how I used to say on the radio all
the time, behind every moment of adversity, two things happened.
There is a lesson and a blessing. That's behind every
bad thing that happens to you. The loss of your

(02:21):
mother is a lesson and a blessing in there. Now
the lesson is it. Once you can cope with the
loss of your mother, do you know how much stronger
that makes you as a person? Because I mean, really,
after that was what can they do to you? I'm
leaving you? Hey, man, my mama gone. You know what, man?

(02:46):
That that was a cold lesson. Man it taught me
so man, my mama gone. Do you know what the
blessing was? All of this stuff she taught me and
the strength I gained from her absence, because after I
lost my mother, it was nothing you could say to me.
It didn't matter to me what you said. I don't

(03:07):
want you no more. By okay, I'm leaving you. Oh okay?
What time? What time is that? Man? I done lost
my mama. Do you understand the strength I gained from that?
And do you understand the memory of all of the

(03:29):
lessons that she taught me? How they ring deal in
my head all the time. I was out the country, right,
and I was going to this meeting, and they sent
the secretaries down to greet me at the door. So
I'm walking with these ladies to get on the elevator.
And there what's called a protocol department, And they opened

(03:50):
up the elevator and they stood there and I said, no, ladies,
go ahead. They said, no, mister Harvey, we can't. We're
on protocol. You first can't. I can't do this. I
can't allow you to hold this door for me, I
can't go on this elevator and leave this woman in
the hallway with her hand holding that bumper back on
the door. My mama in heaven watching me. My mama

(04:14):
raised me to be chivalrous towards women, to hold doors
for women, to allow women to walk through first, to
pull out chairs, to open the mall door. I open
the mall door for a woman. I don't even got
to know who you are. You ain't even got to
be with me. But if I see you and I'm
by that door, I'm gonna open the door for you.
That's what I learned from my mama. So even in

(04:37):
the greatest loss of my life, that loss was a
lesson because I know I've said it before, but I'm
gonna say it again. After the loss of my mother,
there's nothing you could do to me what you finish
threaten me with. Man, I lost my mom, I buried
my mama. I don't care what you do every loss

(04:57):
in your life. If you quit looking at losses them als,
you taking them als is lessons. Every time I see
somebody trying to take something from me that don't belong
to them, I done seen this movie before. I've learned
this lesson before. I've lost some money before, So now

(05:18):
that loss ain't a loss, it's a lesson. Now I
know what it looked like. You can't take no money
from me, No mold. I learned the lesson. That al
that I took wasn't really a loss. It was a lesson.
So now, okay, cool, you took three hundred from me,
but I took an l but I learned a lesson.
So now here you come. How you think you finnah

(05:38):
get thirty thousand? But if you take three from me?
Are you finna take some mold? Now I've learned. All
my als was not losses. All my als was lessons.
Those are my closing remarks. Feel how you wanna feel.

(06:00):
But I have lost my mama. I don't care. Talk
to God today, y'all. He love to hear from this.
And I'm meaning that too. I really do mean that
what you're gonna say to me.
