The dark side of sports, changing the game with Team USA.
I'm super honored for this incredible show and live episode.
It's always been my dream.
Coming off the streets of Brazil, selling bread on the streets at age seven.
You guys hear my story. I always talk about coming back one day and helping

(00:23):
because a lot of those kids, they have a dream to become an athlete, to become somebody.
And the sad part of sports that very, very few make it, less than 1% of all
children and young teens and
adults around the world ever make it to the big leagues, to the sports.

(00:43):
And yesterday, I had the honor to receive an invitation to become a board advisory
council member of Team USA. I said.
And I want to help bring this awareness around the world.
So all the little kids that have dreams like I had growing up,
some of you guys that know my story, my father died in a car explosion.

(01:04):
I was three months old. My stepfather was murdered and I had to sell bread on the streets.
Me as a kid, I'd done many, many sports. I did MMA. I did some,
you know, not so legal cage age fighting as a kid.
The Japanese put me to fight among other kids.
My first martial art was judo. My payment was a large pizza and a two liter

(01:28):
soda because I didn't have enough food at home and they know I was hungry.
And I know many of you guys watching us here are hungry.
So I want to thank you so much. All my followers around the world,
man, on Facebook, on YouTube, on TikTok and Instagram, all the likes and the
beautiful comments that that you guys shared, welcoming myself to Team USA.
And today I have the honor, truly, truly honored to be here,

(01:50):
interviewing a few athletes.
And each step, my friends, that we're going to take towards their dreams,
it's going to be fueled not just by the relentless spirit and hard work,
but also by the vital support that they receive from our community.
And with no further ado, I want to bring here to the stage,

(02:14):
Butch Chalaya, Chairman of the Board Team USA, Lauren Manzano,
Team Captain Janae Noonan, Ivan Jimenez, and Jarrah Barnes.
What's going on, beautiful people? How are you all doing? Hello.
I am super excited, guys, to have you guys here on the stage today.

(02:36):
I'm meeting many of you guys today, as I was just appointed yesterday.
So I'm super excited to dive right in with you guys into this incredible segment
that we're going to talk about today.
Because me as an athlete, I can relate, you know, because I went through some dark times.

(02:56):
I did my college years in basketball in Brazil and I played soccer for second
division. I've done sumo and karate and MMA illegally on cage fighting.
Vale tudo MMA back in the early 90s. Who here remembers vale tudo?
Talk about not in the cage, but in a bamboo cage.
So that was for food. That's why a lot of my brothers and sisters from Brazil,

(03:21):
they're great fighters because at the beginning of their careers,
they fought it because of hunger.
It was because of food. is to put the leche in the pan, the milk and bread in the table.
So I know many of you here on the stage with me today come from dark times.
To be where you guys are today and the struggle and
like i always talk about on stages around the world the

(03:44):
training never stops so we're going
to talk about that today we're going to we're going to have a real raw talk over
here today anybody that's here live with us folks are going to be watching the
replay i want you guys to like to subscribe to follow each individual here on
the screen you guys can google their names again like i said just in the mall
right now and i was uh appointed yesterday as a board advisory member.

(04:07):
I have my great friend over here, chairman of the board, Butch Chalaya,
incredible human being that I know for a very long time, incredible father like
myself, been married for a gazillion number of years and beautiful children.
Just doing great things for humanity as well.
My friend Butch, we're going to start the show, man. I want to hear a few words
from you, man, chair of the board.
And thanks again for welcoming in to the board with you yesterday.

(04:30):
And I'm looking forward for some of the initiatives that
we're going to bring it we're gonna take it to a whole nother level some
of the things that we're gonna do here my friend how are you Carlos hey we're
super excited man this is great can you hear me loud and clear
loud and clear my friend awesome hey I'm I'm fired up this has been a passion
project I've been I've been a part of this movement now for about six months

(04:53):
and you know single-handedly changed my life I met some of the greatest people
I've met in life and all of my professional past And,
you know, 30 years of starting companies and building companies and consulting for companies,
I've never felt more excited.
More purpose-driven than this particular opportunity, right?

(05:18):
So like you, I'm an immigrant, and I've been in this country now for about 30
years, and I am so fortunate to be able to be a part of this brand today.
And, and, and to be associated with this brand, you know, my,
my, my kids obviously were born in this country.

(05:39):
So we're very red, white, and blue.
This country has afforded me tremendous
opportunity, right? And I've been blessed with so much kindness.
If for the rest of my life, I gave everything back, I will still be in deficit
because I've received way more than I can ever repay. pay.
And so this team, Team USA, what drove me and drew me to this culture started with the people.

(06:07):
It started with meeting just the best human beings I think I've had a chance to meet.
Their hearts, souls, their passions, their disciplines, the way they live their life.
It's a wonderful organization.
I'm so excited to be a part of it. I'm excited to lead the charge to make sure
that we can give them the identity they deserve.

(06:30):
They've been working anonymously in the background, in the darkest gyms,
in the corners, in blood, sweat, and tears without an audience.
And my job is to bring an audience to appreciate their efforts as they put on
the red, white, and blue as they go into the world championship this year.
So fired up to be on this broadcast with you, Carlos, and thank you for the work you've been doing.

(06:52):
I've been a long fan of you. You have done so many passion projects in your
life, and all of which have made an impact in millions of people worldwide.
What you do on the business level, if people really knew you,
it's only a small percentage of what you do on a global level for humanity.

(07:14):
So we all we all respect profitability
and that's what keeps the engine moving but your
passion drives way deeper than business your
first love is people i've seen it i've walked with you i've lived with you and
i appreciate being a part of this team with you as well so thank you for hosting
us no man thank you my brother i do appreciate uh the kind words you know my

(07:39):
sorry for the glitch guys, you know, we're doing this live.
We are recording, but you guys know how I am. I don't care. You know, we just go with the flow.
We had, you know, as Butch was talking over here and, you know,
that's, it's all about, all about adapting, you know, and as Butch is saying
those kind words, I bet you my grandma is laughing in heaven.
We often talk about, you know, life is all about the mission,

(08:00):
never the commission, right?
It's all about the contribution, never the acquisition. Like I have a lot of
wealthy friends and sometimes I challenge them because, you know,
what are we doing when it's only between us and God, right?
That when nobody's watching, when the camera is not on, how much more are we
donating above and beyond the tax bracket, you know? And I'm just super excited to be here today.

(08:24):
I'll tell you guys a powerful story here at the end of this show that some of
you might even have a tear or two about it.
And that will be for the end. And all right, ladies and gentlemen,
we're going to start over here. Now I'm going to start asking some of the athletes.
I'm going to bring here onto the stage, Janay Noonan, our team captain for USM,
MMA champion, two gold medalist, mom, entrepreneur, badass, lioness.

(08:51):
And welcome to the stage, my friend. And Janay, I'm going to start with you
as, you know, I was raised by women. You know, like I say earlier,
you know, at the beginning of this channel, like my father died and my stepfather was murdered.
And I love when I see women leading, going through the battles and winning, right?
Going for that gold in the mist among all the struggle.

(09:13):
And the question that I have for you as a team captain, I want us to go deep
into, can you share a personal story where you face a significant amount of
challenges in your sport career?
Weird that most people aren't aware of
it maybe something that nobody knows if you
you know and then you can go as let's just go deep

(09:35):
and then uh take your time if you have to think about it a little bit but this
is something i always love to hear from the athletes because they don't know
a lot of the stuff that we do like a lot of people never say publicly that i
done you know some mma underground fighting as a kid it wasn't a choice i was
hungry and the japanese told me i'm a big Like, boy,
I'm 6'5", 300 pounds, and I always get big.

(09:57):
So they're like, are we going to train this little kid? He's hungry.
He doesn't have nothing to lose. Let's make him into a fighter.
And it was for food, right? So what about for you, Renée? What is the timing in New York?
I just want to say first, thank you so much for having us on the show.
And thank you for being a part of our panel.
I've heard so many good things about you. And I just wanted to start with that.

(10:18):
So I wanted to say thank you so much first.
I think everybody knows about my next story. So when you're asking that question,
I was like, what else might be dark and seedy?
And I actually want to say being a woman.
And you were all about the woman. But I came up in the era where there were no women in the UFC.

(10:38):
We weren't a part of that conversation. conversation
and it was a lot of you
know we maybe we were on a card maybe we
weren't maybe we were getting paid like five dollars or we could compete if
we sold tickets and just I don't want to say being a pioneer but I'm of the
age where I started in 2004 so I am a little bit seasoned in the sport and I

(11:02):
just being a woman in that man's environment was probably one of the hardest
besides my injuries being one of the hardest things that you just have to dig
deep and have that passion and that drive and to just, you know.
Screw the naysayers. I almost cussed. Sorry. And just be, know what you want and go for it.
And I, yeah, I was, everyone knows about my injuries. So I was like trying to

(11:27):
think something that not many people knew about.
And I would have to say the, the plowing of plowing the way for the women of, of the sport.
And yeah. yeah no no
no i love it i love it today i love it because a lot of people sometimes you
know and i had a great episode with frank shamrock he's a
good friend of mine one of the pioneers right of ufc pretty much

(11:49):
invented the whole thing and so did with dana and
the fortita brothers and you know it's so we had a
great episode for you guys i love the mma sports rewind a
few years back on my show carlos inspire show and
you guys can listen and you know it's so true that
i do appreciate you sharing that and i want
to bring on the stage here next jared and

(12:11):
hey jared welcome to the stage my friend
and uh man i heard some you
know incredible things about you and age 13 man you know you had to deal with
something tragic you lost your mom yeah man and i heard you you were homeless
at your early 20s and now you are on a treatment for team usa i just love I

(12:33):
love hearing those stories.
You know, because I know the drill, man, being on the streets of Brazil and the struggle is real.
You know, I wanted to first, I want to thank you that I know that your mom and
my dad are smiling in heaven right now.
And they are super proud of us for not quitting.
Keep pushing it. As I always love to say on the show, the days that breaks us

(12:55):
are truly the days that makes us.
I love to be in presence of great athletes like yourself that haven't given
up because people see, you know, they stop on TV, right, all the big athletes
and the biggest competitions that get the most money.
But then what about the other competitions that Team USA is part of it,

(13:18):
like MMA, like fighting, that doesn't get as much as viewership,
as much as the ownership?
You know, you guys are extremely underpaid compared to other parts of the sports.
And not just in Team USA, but around the globe. And I want to talk to you about that.
I want you to tell me something. How has the sports industry traditionally,

(13:42):
Jared, handled like athlete mental health?
And what changes are you seeing now?
Let's go deep because I think it's something that a lot of people suffer for
right now in sports and in general.
And I want to hear from you. How do you even cope, man, and become an athlete
after losing your mom and being homeless?
How did you find that strength to keep it going and dealing with the mental health that goes on?

(14:06):
So one thing, mental health is something that I'm still working on.
It's not something that you fix and then it's fixed forever.
You know, it's something I'm still working on today and I'm still finding new
ways to deal with things that I've gone through in life.
One thing that's gotten me the strength and gotten me through everything I've
I've gone through is who I do it for.

(14:28):
I emphasize I got pictures of my mother everywhere and I'm always reminding
myself that this is the woman that I do everything for. or I'm really big on family.
And my biggest thing of why I work so hard is I want to make the people who
love me the most and the people that I love the most proud.
And the only way I can do that is by doing my best, no matter what,

(14:51):
no matter what I'm going through, getting the job done.
And that's a big part of who I am, is regardless of how I'm feeling and what
I'm going through, get the job done.
Because the people that love you, the village that helped raise you and got
to this point, they want to see you succeed.
Definitely. Wow. No, man. I love that.
I love that because, man, just God bless you, my brother, because I have a lot

(15:13):
of my friends in Brazil that grew up in very few making. A lot of them died.
Some of them in between competition, some of them would go do something illegal
to make money just to eat so they could go to the gym to compete so that they
could have a shot at making.
And a lot of this is happening because, as you and I know,

(15:34):
governments are countries right i am
half american half brazilian and i can speak
for both countries where the support for the
athletes isn't there yeah right and a lot of
us and you guys gotta you know come out of pocket go you know like raise money
like people go do go fund me when somebody died right and that's something that

(15:54):
nobody talks about and that's why i'm so passionate about raising the bar and
bring more eyeballs into this because people that are and speaking Speaking of that,
you know, before we go here to the next person, I wanted you to tell me something.
I mean, with the upcoming competition that you guys have in Romania,
the World Series, right?
You know, how can our viewers actively support Team USA, not just through funding,

(16:20):
but also through other ways as well? What do you think about that in your opinion?
Definitely sharing us and getting the word out for sure.
Something I think that comes with being Undersupported is people not knowing
you know the more people that know the more Support we can get not only in a
financial way But I would love to see a video of people who I have no idea,

(16:44):
Exist, you know saying my name saying that they're they got my back and they
are behind me that would help out a lot that helps out sometimes more than just
financially just knowing that,
Aside from your small little village, you have a bigger village that you reach
out to, people that you inspire and everything like that.
Amen, man. I often tell people at the time, sometimes a lot of people are struggling

(17:05):
with money, but sometimes just the fact of you guys sharing this clip, sharing this video,
you know, showing, talking about Jared's story to your local businesses in your
town, how you're supported by liking.
And then if you are in a position that you can support Jared financially.
What if I told you guys that new initiative that we started where if you donate,

(17:29):
let's say, a minimum of $1,000,
now not only do you support Jared in getting to the competition,
but now Jared can also do a video saying, hey, so-and-so, because of your support,
I was able to make you the competition.
Competition not only you can write a thousand dollars off
but now you can take that video from jared and share

(17:50):
it in your social media pin to your post saying that
you are a proud sponsor of team usa is a way to give back is a way to help the
athletes is a win-win situation versus traditional models of just oh here's
some money goodbye you know what i mean it's like being involved with the athletes
watching their growth watching and then giving inspiring other kids

(18:13):
so that, and all in the world, they don't have to turn into,
like I saw kids in Brazil, turn into something illegal and die and be murdered
because they had a dream to become an athlete.
And I appreciate you sharing that, Jared, big time, my brother.
And I'm looking forward to getting to know you more, man, over the years.
And as we develop this friendship and seeing great things and go Team USA,

(18:34):
my friend, I appreciate you big time. Thank you, Carlos.
Thank you. Thank you. I want to bring over here to the stage next.
Lauren Manzano, how are you, sister? Hi, good morning. I'm doing really well. Thank you.
Lauren, Lauren, my friend, welcome. Welcome to the stage. And Lauren,
I wanted to talk about, let's talk about behind the scenes.
You know what I mean? Something about training for like international event

(18:56):
that would surprise most fans. What do you have to say to that?
So I've done a few couple international competitions, both for martial arts and for dance.
And when it boils down to
it it's very similar in terms of preparation for both
you know most people would expect of course there's going to be some hard work

(19:16):
of course there is late night practices there is you know meetings and you're
constantly being involved in that kind of stuff with your team but i think what
most fans don't understand especially when you're at such a level
is that there is an extended level of preparation.
When you're going into a foreign country, if you don't speak the language,

(19:40):
at least for me, if you don't speak the language, you need to do research on language.
You need to do research on culture.
You need to do research on food because especially when it comes to a martial
art, everything is about respect.
It is about how we comport ourselves in a foreign country because we're representing
our country or we're representing our team.

(20:02):
And so for me, I like to make sure I do that.
So I'm currently in the process of learning Romanian because we're going to Romania.
It's going to be my fifth language. And I've competed in Korea,
I've competed in Spain, and I've worked in Argentina.
So I think it's very important to know that it's not just what your modality is.

(20:27):
So it's not just your martial art, it's not just what your team is doing.
It is a far more extensive preparation, which is really gonna contribute to
a far better representation when you're there, boots on the ground, ready to compete.
Yes, no, I love that. I love that. You see a lot of things, like a lot of people,
they don't think about, right, how much work it takes, right,
just to keep up, you know, with the practicing, with like learning.

(20:49):
And Romanian is not easy. I speak multiple languages. I don't speak many yet.
Very difficult language to learn. We can learn together. other for real and
lauren you know tell me something you know some of the struggles that you face
as an athlete right now that you know that sometimes you know it goes through
our minds we're just like people in people's careers where they like sometimes
they become so overwhelming.

(21:10):
That they're like i'm just giving it up f this and i'm done can you talk about
a time in your life that you struggle so much as an athlete that you're just
like you know what i'm done but and then you're like deep inside like no as
you guys listening to us right now and watching us every Every single one of
you listening to us, we are capable to do so much more.
Human potential and what we can achieve is incredible, right?

(21:33):
I never thought of it as a seven-year-old boy selling bread in Brazil,
that one day I'm going to be having my own show interviewing athletes and celebrities
and superstars around the world.
But deep inside, I knew if I don't quit, I can be there.
And if I speak up, if I call somebody, if I ask for the help of the community,
like We are here now, and if the community or followers, if they can just follow

(21:55):
us, if they don't have the money, like it, subscribe it, share it,
tag this clip into your stories,
tag Lauren, tag myself, tag Team USA.
Let's create awareness because the struggle is real, guys, especially since
COVID is even more difficult for many athletes. leads.
And that's why I'm so passionate to be here on the board with you guys so that

(22:18):
we can raise more awareness and get the support of the community.
And if you can talk about a struggle in your time, Lauren, and what have you done it, you know,
Talk to us a little bit about that at a time, maybe something that you never shared before.
So I think adversity comes with just living as a human and especially post-COVID global trauma.

(22:39):
All of us are trying to figure out how to function in this new situation.
One that not that many people publicly know about.
I was in a very horrific car accident. I was a victim of a DUI,
and it left me with permanent and possibly debilitating lifelong injuries.

(23:01):
And honestly, my doctors are still shocked that I'm able to do what I can do.
And because most of them had suggested that they're like, well,
you just need to stop being an athlete, stop being a dancer,
stop being a martial artist because of the way my neck and spine are.
And so there was a lot of that going on where, you know, something not of your

(23:24):
own doing, something completely random, unexpected.
And you go through a really dark time of having, especially as a martial artist,
trying to like balance, acknowledging that you're a victim of something that
had absolutely nothing to do with any of your choices or anything you've done.
And then the reality of like, okay, this happened.

(23:45):
Don't take personal responsibility for it. You didn't do this and earn this.
And then once you're able to work through that mental game of how do you move forward?
And I ended up, I had PTSD and it took me a very long time to accept that I
needed to, I needed more mental help than I could do on my own.

(24:06):
So I went to therapy and I was able to and i'm still in therapy to work through
my ptsd and to work through my physical injuries with You know an amazing team
of medical professionals that I work with and.
I'm, kind of like a medical like oh my gosh, she can still move And so I basically
am not going to quit I contemplated it But I can't quit because if I do quit

(24:29):
I can't move anymore. I can't,
dance, I can't fight, I can't be active. So I feel like I'm on borrowed time
in terms of like, if I stop, that's it.
So that's where I am at, where I have to struggle with balancing.
Working really hard, but not not finding the line.
And I think a lot of athletes sometimes struggle with pushing too far,

(24:53):
because our bodies are finite.
Unfortunately, with our technology, We don't have like a laser that can fix everything.
And so a mature athlete has to be able to recognize, hey, this is a pushing
of a limit and we need to be smart about it and maybe reduce practice or the
intensity in order to have the long game.
So if my goal is to get to October, I need to be very mindful and very deliberate

(25:18):
and purposeful in my training.
And that's been, it's been a, it's been a hard thing to kind of grapple with
ego and And with, I think a lot of us are very proud of ourselves and of our achievements.
And sometimes we just have to take that step back and be like, you know what?
I'm here for the long time. Yes. I love that.
I love that. I often say, Lord, I want to honor you for playing full out because,

(25:39):
you know, our ego is not our amigo, right?
And I've seen it so often. And I always talk about as fast as God give it to us, he takes it away.
Absolutely. And stay grounded to our roots, remembering where we come from.
That's so powerful. powerful i do appreciate you
sharing lauren opening here with us and now go
team you say let's rock it and all right guys let's

(26:01):
go over here to bring it on the stage next and you're ivan jimenez what's going
on my brother hey how's it going thanks for having me on here awesome and i'm
super proud of an incredible panel uh over here on the stage today good luck
going after lauren what an incredible story but i know that you don't need it
but you guys are all athletes and love to compete.
And Ivan, I want to ask you a question over here. It's something that a lot

(26:24):
of people, they don't talk about.
And I wanted to discuss with you the financial realities of athletes preparing
for international competitions.
What kind of support do you think that would make a difference, Ivan?
Not just for you, but for every athlete in the USA right now that's struggling,
that's straining, but they don't even know if they're going to make it to the

(26:46):
competition because they got to pay their planes, their hotels,
they got to pay to compete.
And it's crazy how, like I said, very fewer sports within the division within
Team USA get a bigger vision per se.
But what do you think, in your opinion, would make the biggest difference for
some of the leagues within Team USA and the sports teams that could help make

(27:09):
a difference in that area, my friend.
You know, I think any contribution, small or large contribution,
that could be used to support the team would make a big difference.
I know, you know, a lot of us have on the team have regular day jobs and,
you know, we have to travel to trainings and, you know, we have families and things like that.
So even, you know, as little contribution as helping us get gas to get to the

(27:34):
next training thing, some of us can't, can't do that. Right. We, we, we travel a lot.
And so just in areas like that, just to get us to, you know,
to training and to to work hard.
And then on top of that, there's gear that comes with that. We have to purchase.
Passports and flights, just like you were saying.
So really any contribution would make a big difference. Even,

(27:56):
you know, emotional support, just cheering us on is great.
It feels like we're supported, but I think any contribution really would make
an impact on any of our lives.
Nah, man, I love that because I know a little bit about you.
I was looking at your bio that you come from the, you know, Humboldt streets
down South in California,
I believe it's in pomona right uh it's panorama city panorama

(28:16):
city yes and you know tell me something in a
time in your life when a setback propelled you to a greater achievement like
how did you turn that situation around because you know growing up on the streets
of la down south in cali it's not easy and then to become an athlete facing
all these struggles so tell me about a time in your life i.

(28:38):
Well, I will say, you know, my whole life it was, I faced adversity.
Didn't grow up with my dad. They divorced when I was really young and that my
mom, you know, woman supported me my whole life.
And I was also, I grew up really small, like undersized.
And when I first started my first season of wrestling, I was 88 pounds competing
in the 103 pound division class.

(29:00):
I was really small all my first time and I
sucked I was bad I was really bad to the point where my coach told me I could
have bent my house that you were going to lose every match right and and but
but coming from where I come from we don't I just we push past it right we don't I don't accept being,

(29:21):
sucky and not doing anything about it and so I worked hard in the offseason and really pushed it.
I non-stop breathed wrestling at that time, right?
And would go to camps and seminars and things like that just to get better.
And the next year I qualified for CIF tournament.
And the year after that, and got an award from my coach who said,

(29:42):
the same guy who said he could have bet his house that I would lose a match
was like, you are the most improved.
And I want to thank you for that.
Yes. That's awesome, brother. That's so cool, man.
And that's what I'm talking about, man it's like it's the untold stories the
things that nobody see and for you guys watching us live imagine ivan doing

ladies and gentlemen, but you're also getting something back.
There's athletes, I've been, you know, and everybody here on the stage and many
other athletes, they'll be recording videos saying thank you for contributing
to myself and allowing us to get to Romania and competing and winning, even if we lost.

(30:50):
But we made it there because of you, Mr. Business Owner. You know,

Not only you help them get in there, but you also get in that piece,

It's about like doing We're doing more for others than anybody else.
I appreciate you having me here, my friend. And thank you for sharing this story.
And let's bring on the stage back the entire gang. And I'm just super excited,

(31:34):
guys. I caught you guys on camera.
You know, but I'm so happy, guys, you know, to have all of you guys here and
sharing your stories and literally playing full out.
And I'm going to have everybody here.
And Captain, I wanted you to tell me something, Captain Noonan. it's all about you know.

(31:54):
Team dynamics, you know, can you share a funny or unexpected moment for your
training or competition that helped lighten the mood?
Let's talk about team dynamics over here as a panel. Jared, you had to know this was coming.
The second you said a funny moment, Jared just started dying because he knew what I was going to say.

(32:15):
So Jared is brand new to the team and he got to go to his first red carpet event,
which was so much fun. and he got on the red carpet and was like,
wait, I don't know what to do.
And he started shadowboxing and it was awesome because he was like out there,
like, all right, I'm just, I'm just going to be in my zone and I'm going to shadowbox.
And every single photographer, every single paparazzi, like stop taking pictures

(32:38):
of who they were taking pictures of and like all turn and the whole,
like everyone had eyes on Jared. And he was like, that was pretty cool.
And like, we all like felt all proud but
as a team like we have
a lot of fun together we have group training tomorrow in fact we have a group
training and we all get together and and to be honest I don't know how much
training gets done when we all get together we would try we try to focus but

(33:01):
it's it's more about the camaraderie and then just being together and and again
the team practices This is,
we're supposed to be like training and stuff,
but yeah, we do better when we're not training together.
I love it. I tell you a funny red carpet story. So, you know,
I know, you see, when I was a kid, I used to learn how to make sounds to cope

(33:24):
with suicide and depression and fear.
And I would learn how to make sounds that imitate musicians and characters.
And I would imagine them be in front of me because, you know,
I grew up on the streets, you know what I mean? And then I was very poor.
I would go on rice for 90 days at a time.
And I always remind myself that somebody had work.
So I had this saying that it's better to laugh instead of cry,

(33:47):
especially when we are going through, we are competing and we're not getting the support.
We don't know if we're going to make it to the next competition and we're putting our butts off, right?
So what I would do, whenever I go on a red carpet, I get invited to be on a
lot of red carpets because I have a lot of celebrity clients that I mentor.
I go and I make a sound like this.

(34:09):
I whistle and I poop. I have a red card and a yellow card inside my suit.
Everybody, when I do the whistle, he blow the whistle, and I do funny shit on the cameras.
And the celebrity's like, what the heck is going on?
So it's funny you bring that up. You just gave me some memories here with my whistle stories.

(34:30):
But I appreciate you sharing that, Jenny. And then now, guys,
on another serious topic, Butch.
I mean, you as well, you've been with the team, you know, Much longer than I am right now.
You just invited me to the board yesterday, and I'm very proud to be here with
you guys and accepting the honor to assist and bringing more awareness.

(34:51):
What do you think about, in your opinion, with the upcoming competition in Romania,
how can our viewers actively support the Team USA, not just through funding,
but in other ways as well?
Glad you asked that. So there's a variety of ways to do that, right?
So we'll talk about the sponsorship and then we'll talk about the non-sponsorship
because there's tangibles and intangibles.

(35:13):
So from a sponsorship standpoint, Carlos, I've been around sports my entire life.
My brother participated in the 1988 Olympics. So it's a very,
very close feeling for us, right?
I mean, you know, the next thing about not being an Olympian is you can claim
to be related to an Olympian. And that's been my journey my whole life.
So always been known as Gary's brother. But more importantly,

(35:34):
in the Olympics, we're aware of that.
2024 is an Olympic year. It's going to be held in Paris.
And in the Olympics, the Olympic athletes, much like these world championship
athletes that you have on this panel, they don't get money from the government as well.
Well, but because of the notoriety of the Olympics and the fact that it's been

(35:54):
around for 100 years, there's endowment funds that are funded by the Fortune 100 companies, right?
The Coca-Cola, the McDonald's, the Microsoft, the Kodak.
So, you know, the brands that have already locked in their association with the Olympics.
So the difference here is the small to medium sized businesses that make this

(36:16):
country great. They never get to lay the claim that they are in partnership with Team USA.
That party is very small and very exclusive.
So there is a big excluded community. What this team, this team of USA,
this world championship, then creation MMA team, what we're trying to do is

(36:39):
make it an inclusive community.
Community we're trying to say hey i understand
you don't have 20 million dollars to become a
mcdonald's key sponsor for the olympic council but how about two thousand dollars
and you can partner with team usa on a personal level right now the difference
is carlos you and i both know this being business owners our whole life every

(37:03):
time there is such a thing as donation fatigue.
You know, everybody is hitting us up for something. Everybody wants something
from us, whether it's product, whether it's time, whether it's money.
And sometimes it's exhausting and you can't entertain at all.
And we also know in traditional days, every time somebody needs something from

(37:25):
us, we give it to them and we don't hear from them again.
Doesn't matter whether they're trying to sell us SEO services,
a Yellow Pages ad, doesn't matter what it is. The moment we say yes,
they take our money and they go away.
What this team is trying to do is they're saying, hey, we don't just want your
money. We want the relationship.

(37:47):
We want you to be part of our journey from now through October,
which is when we're competing at the World Championships, but continuing that
relationship into 2026 when the U.S.
Hosts the World Championships for the first time in games history. Street.
This is the 11th year that they're hosting the World Championships.
It's held every two years in countries like Greece and Rome and Sydney and other

(38:12):
countries I can't pronounce.
But in 2026, it's going to be held in the U.S.
And there's two locations that are vying for that right now,
one in Southern California and one up in Indiana.
So we'll decide where we get the attention, right? But here's the difference.

(38:32):
The difference is this. What we're saying to every potential sponsor for $1,000,
$2,000, and $3,000, and we want to build a community with that. And here's the benefit.
In most cases, they give us money, we say thank you, and they go away.
But over here, we give them the

(38:53):
rights to always lay claim that they're an official sponsor of Team USA.
We send them the graphics. They can put it on their website,
on their letterheads, on their advertising material, wherever it is.
And we know for this great country,
there's still a tremendous amount of patriots that love that fact.
Number two, right? They get an immediate social acknowledgement,

(39:15):
co-branded with Team USA on our social medias.
You got to remember, we've got 60 athletes on this team, all 60 individual personalities
that have worked their whole life to build a fan base.
I will tell you, there's probably an access of close to 2 million fans and followers
individually among the 60 of them that will hear from this brands because Ivan's

(39:42):
got followers, Lauren's got followers,
Jared's got followers, Janae's got followers.
Only me, I don't have followers, right? Because I don't even like people. No, I'm just kidding.
But my point is there is a social content, social equity that we're giving back
to the business. So imagine this, Carlos.
You know, company ABC becomes a sponsor.

(40:02):
And Ivan, who is a U.S. Army veteran, gets on a microphone or a video screen.
And he says, hey, my name is Ivan Aminez, and I'm so excited to be a part of
Team USA. I get to complete in Romania.
I work full time. And this is something that's been my life passion.

(40:22):
And because of the contribution and the sponsorship of ABC company,
I get to go live my dreams and represent this country at the world championships.
You and I both know, Carlos, we both live in the public. We both live in the
limelight. We both live in social equity.
What is the worth to that company to be able to have that content that they

(40:45):
can repurpose, reuse, rebrand, and replay for the rest of the duration?
Not just for 24, but all the way through 26.
This proposition that I just laid out in the last minute and a half doesn't exist in U.S.
Sports. There is not one sport that you can find across this great nation that's

(41:08):
offering that kind of a relationship to a small to medium-sized business.
Everybody wants their money, but no one's offering anything back.
This team is saying, we don't want your money. We want your relationship.
We want your partnership. We want your support. Now, the non-tangible is this.
The non-tangible is these athletes work tirelessly when no one is watching.

(41:33):
So when you do get to watch them, you share their content.
You follow their content. You comment on the content.
You let them know, hey, listen, man, I'm broke as a joke, but I love what you're doing.
I want to support you. I want to say something about how you inspire my kid,
my neighbor, my child, my parents, my mom, my dad.
I want to let these athletes know that even if I cannot financially support

(41:58):
them, I can still spread the message of what they're trying to do to maybe someone who can't.
So it's not all about money. It's an exchange of value.
I love that big time. And here's what I will do to sweeten the pie.
Anybody here listening to us, watching us now, I have a link over here going

(42:22):
underneath the screen that you guys can contribute to the team.
And anybody, for the next 100 listeners and viewers that contribute to Team USA,
when you receive the video from them, giving you a shout out that you supported
them getting to the Olympics, to the next competition in Romania in October,

(42:43):
you tag me on Instagram.
I have almost 40,000 followers there. And I will share that to my story.
I normally charge $500 for a shout-out that I donate 100% to help people facing hunger.
I will make sure that I will tag that on my Instagram for free so you'll get
an additional 40,000 eyeball views. In addition to all the great stuff.

(43:07):
Oh, look at that. Janette just said, made me choose.
Thank you. Janette has over 70,000 followers. I believe almost 80,000 followers.
I got 40. There's 120,000 eyeballs.
That Janae and I could easily charge 500 bucks for a shout because you're going
to get 120,000 eyeballs into your brand, into your business,

(43:30):
that not only are you going to be able to write off that $1,000,
you're supporting those athletes, you're supporting their dreams,
you're getting that video back from them, acknowledging you and your name that
you can pin it to your social media all over.
You have their permission, which is going to show you a proud sponsor of Team USA.
Just like Butch is saying, we are creating an entire blue ocean so that we can

(43:53):
help bring more eyeballs to the divisions within Team USA that doesn't get the
much love that they deserve.
You know what I mean? Like I grew up seeing way too many people suffering.
I've seen way too many kids dying on the streets.
I told you guys, I will tell you guys a powerful story here today.
My father died very young on a horrible car explosion.

(44:17):
When he came home from work, he used to work at a bank, going to school, and he had me as a baby.
You know what he would do in his free time, ladies and gentlemen?
He would go around the trash in the city, the large dump places,
not to grab garbage or food, because families couldn't afford their babies.

(44:37):
And they would leave them there.
And my grandma and my father, they would go there. They would pick up those
kids. They were babies, infants, little ones, because they know that sometimes
people would stop by and my father would take them to churches, to shelters.
And it's like the team that we've been talking about here today.
Sometimes it's not about the money.

(44:59):
It's about the little acts of kindness that we can do by giving those players
a shout out on your social media, by liking their content.
Because every like that you guys do, guess what? It opens up the algorithm so more people see it.
For every one of them that has a YouTube video and a YouTube channel,

(45:20):
you have no idea how that one like and that one comment and that one subscribe
opens up. It tells YouTube, hey, guys, follow this person.
Because guess what? Each one of them over here are out there documenting their journey.
They are inspiration to another younger person that's seen it.
All the young Jerricks, the young Jennys, the young Ivans, the young Laurens.

(45:45):
And they're watching it because they haven't quit.
I often have this conversation with many powerful people that I mentor.
And they tell me that they're going through suicide or depression,
and I tell them, don't do it.
Don't do it. Pick up that phone. Give me a call. Reach out to me on social media.
At Carlos Inspired. I cannot promise to reply to every one of you, but I do what I can.

(46:06):
Because if you quit, if you give up, Mr. Celebrity, Mr. Athlete watching us, guess what?
That's what you're setting it up as the bar for the people listening to you.
So whenever they are struggling, they're going to think it's okay to do it.
We are about raising the bar, guys. We are about raising the standard.
We are creating an entire blue ocean here for Team USA and supporting the athletes.

(46:28):
Right now, they are struggling. They are competing. And they don't even know
if they're going to make it to Romania.
Or to the next competition. That's what this is about.
It's about creating a movement around these guys and all the future athletes
watching us so that they have hope so that we can help every single person.
And I'm very, very excited to be part of this mission.

(46:49):
As you guys know, life is all about the mission, never the commission.
And guys, I want to end the show with a powerful question that I want to ask
every single one of you individually.
And it's the question that I always ask Every past guest that's been on my show.
I had some great people here. I was going to have Kobe Bryant in 2027,

(47:10):
but he passed away too young.
I had some great people line up. I had some incredible people.
I had Frank Shankwitz on my show. He was the founder of Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Frank and I were great friends. We traveled around the world where I helped
create amazing awareness for his book and his movie called Wishman.
That man was a detective for 40 years. When he came home from work,

(47:32):
he called his friends and he said, Hey, guys, come to the house.
And they all have these phones and they call local family, local businesses.
And they say, let's raise some money because there are a few kids that are going
to die in the half o'clock.
And they granted the wish of half a million kids before he passed away.
I want you guys to watch that movie, Wish Man. Incredible story of a great friend.

(47:56):
Watch the interview that I did with Frank.
Many, many years ago, I think it was my first year in the show.
You guys can go to carlosinspireshow.com and listen to the episode.
And I want you guys watching us, when you come home from work,
to call your friends, to call your local businesses and say,
hey guys, let's come up with a thousand bucks,

(48:18):
a few friends, go to your local businesses, and let's go donate minimum of a
thousand dollars to help those athletes.
So that you get to support them getting to Romania or their next competition.
And you get your video with them giving you a shout out because of you, they made it.
And us working together as a community and giving hope for the ones that might

(48:38):
thinking about giving up.
And you guys have no idea how many athletes, just like civilians,
going through those moments.
So I'm just fired up, guys, as you guys can imagine, as always.
But the question that I'm going to ask to every single one of you,
I'm going to start with you, but we're going to start over here.
By age, and the question is much, is your eulogy, and you are young,

(49:03):
and it's 50 years from now, and we are all there listening to ACDC,
Guns N' Roses, Led Zeppelin.
And they're going to be reading your eulogy, and they're going to say, Butch Chilaya was.
Who was Butch Chilaya in his own words? Well, I appreciate that, man.

(49:23):
I think I've given this more thought than I should have, but thank you for the kind words, Carlos.
You know, one of the legacies that I am most concerned with in my life,
obviously, is that, you know, I played it as hard as I could,
and my first priority has always been to be a dad, right? Right.
That's that's been the most meaningful, rewarding, humbling experience of my life.

(49:48):
It's been the greatest journey I've had for the last 25 years to be able to
call my two daughters, my two daughters.
Now, the other difference is this.
I've been a recipient of kindness my entire life. I grew up on the other side of the tracks.
I knew what it was like to have very little to not have. and I realized that

(50:09):
material things don't last, but kindness does.
I've been so fortunate my entire life to experience an abundance of kindness.
I've had countless people take time, take energy, take effort,
take money to express kindness towards me.

(50:30):
It is my life's mission to be able to spread that going forward.
Like I said at the start of the show, I will always be in deficit because I
could never surpass the amount of kindness I've received, even if I gave away
100% from today to the rest of my life.
So my eulogy, I hope to be remembered as somebody who cared,

(50:54):
somebody who was kind, and somebody who loved unconditionally.
Wow, man, what a powerful, powerful eulogy, my brother. But as you are,
my friend, you are an inspiring spirit of that.
Thank you for your kind words. You're very sweet. Thank you.
Lauren Manzano, my friend. It's your eulogy.

(51:17):
And it's 70 years from now since you are on your clinch.
And they're going to say, Laura Manzano was an incredible athlete,
done so much for Team USA, inspire millions of kids around the world.
Incredible human being. But in Laura Manzano's own words,

(51:38):
your best friend's reading your eulogy 70 years from now, and he's going to
say, or she, or they, or whatever, and they're going to say,
Laura Manzano was dot, dot, dot.
Who was Laura Manzano in her own words? I think the word you used is actually
one I like to live my life by, which is to inspire.

(51:59):
Since I was a very young child, so about 13, I've been teaching martial arts.
And I've been a teacher my whole life. I teach at a university and I get the
privilege of being able to work with young people and And help provide a role
model that is maybe not what's available on TV and social media,

(52:23):
especially for young women, which is to be very strong within themselves, very educated,
very goal-driven and independent.
And so I think what I would like to be remembered by is that I was a woman who
refused to allow society to tell me what I can and cannot do.

(52:45):
And that by doing so, that I led as being an individual and inspired others
to, you know, maybe they don't need to be an athlete and be a martial artist
because that's not for everyone.
But if it inspired them to be brave and have the courage to say,
you know what, I want to try something, even if someone tells me I can't do

(53:06):
it or society says I can't do it, I'm going to try it anyways. ways.
And if I can leave that as my legacy of, I want to try and I want to follow
in Lauren's footsteps in my manner, that would be a life well-lived.
And on top of that is that I inspire and lead with kindness as well,
because I think kindness doesn't come from any sort of personal gain that you get from it.

(53:32):
Yeah, it feels good, you know, to do certain things, but if you can live your
life through kindness and respect, then you can be proud of who you are as an
individual and how you inspire others.
So I think that's what I would like to leave as my legacy of kindness and inspiration.
Yes, yes, yes. I love it. What a beautiful message.

(53:53):
Thank you, my friend. Thank you for all you're doing, inspiring all these little girls out there.
And I know that's a bunch of little girls inside, some women with miles in them
right now that have that dream that may give it up.
And because of you and your story and your resilience, you know,
keep empowering, keep inspiring because, and let's awaken, as I like to call

(54:14):
it, let's remove the demons of all of them and look in the demons in the eyes
and reminding ourselves that we are enough.
It's not over until we say so. You know what I mean? So I love it.
Thank you so much for all you do. Go Team USA.
I can't wait to see you You're doing incredible things in Romania in October.
And rock and roll, my friend. Thank you.

(54:35):
Senor Ivan Jimenez, it's your turn.
It's your eulogy. It's 70 years from now.
And they're going to say, my brother, Ivan Jimenez was an incredible athlete,
human being that meant to many.
Because if he show up to blow up, many are following their dreams.
And your best friend is going to be reading your eulogy, and he's going to say,

(54:59):
Ivan Jimenez was, in your own word, who was Ivan Jimenez?
I would say fearless. And I mean that in pursuing dreams specifically,
anything, anything in life.
I had a dream of becoming a father, just similar to Butch, right?
Like that's what I wanted to be. I want to be a father.
I did that. And I like to say that I excel at that.

(55:22):
Fearless in pursuing any career goal, any life dream to push through and not
be afraid to fail no matter what.
I think that's something that I've always tried to
do regardless of how pretty it looks right it's not
always doesn't always look good on paper it's not always like a
movie but even pushing past
the adversity and just being fearless going after and inspiring others to do

(55:47):
the same to show people that it can be done no matter where you come from no
matter what you've been through let's push through and be fearless and go after
what we what we want yeah yes yes appreciate you Ivan my my friend.
Wishing you nothing but luck and love, my friend.
And I know you're going to rock it in October in Romania.
So rock and roll, my friend. I'm looking forward, man, seeing you out there

(56:10):
and doing big things. Let's go. Let's go Team USA. Appreciate you being on the show.
And I want to bring here my brother Jared Barnes. A.B. in the house. It's about to go down.
And my friend Jared, it's your eulogy.
It's 80 years from now. And they're going to say J.B.
A.k.a. Jared Barnes, survive and beat in the odds.

(56:34):
Look the devils in the eye and say, I am coming from you. Ain't no storm that's going to stop me.
And your best friend's going to read your eulogy.
And he's going to say, Jared Barnes was dot, dot, dot. Who was Jared Barnes?
Jared Barnes is probably the dopest person on the planet to ever walk around.

(56:55):
Nah. I love it. Yeah. I'd probably say, you know, Jared was not a perfect person.
He definitely had a lot of shortcomings, made a lot of mistakes,
but he always did his best.
He always found it in his heart to give back to others, no matter what he was going through.

(57:18):
You're good, my friend. Can you still see me? Yes. Okay.
No matter what he was going through or what he had to deal with,
he also did not give up in hopes to inspire everybody in his community to do the same thing.
And his hair was really dope, too. His hair was awesome. He has such a great
sense of style in everything, too.

(57:42):
I love it. We see it's live. We love stuff. But the devil cannot stop.
Oh, man, what a beautiful message. I'm glad that we're getting this on camera.
I'm way over time, but it's so good.
And our captain, we're saving the captain for last.
Captain Jenny Noonan in the house. It's about to go down.

(58:05):
My friend, Captain. Yes. Since you are in your 20s, it's 70 years from now.
And you're almost 100. And it's your eulogy.
And there's going to be a lot of incredible people there. And they're going
to say, Janai Noonan was an incredible woman.
Fearless lioness. That inspired many women in her career to not quit. To keep it going.

(58:31):
To go for it, no matter what. But in Janae Noonan's own words, who was Janae Noonan?
Well, I actually want to start by saying if I had to read all of the people's
eulogies, I would honestly say that that's what I would say for those people.
Butch is an awesome father.

(58:51):
Lauren is kind and inspiring. Jared, you have an awesome sense of style and awesome hair.
And Ivan, you are a great dad and you do inspire and you are definitely fearless.
And I love that. So all of you guys can proudly say that somebody would say that at your funerals.
I think my best friend would get up there and say, why are we at a funeral?

(59:14):
Let's go party. She wouldn't want us crying right now.
And on another funny note, I actually want everybody to write on some sort of
social media that I died in the most mysterious way,
like stung by a million bees or like got like, just, just Google,
just so when Google writes how Janae Noonan died, I want to mess up Google.

(59:34):
I want Google to have no clue because everybody wrote something different.
But in all, in all honesty, what I, what I want, what I would want to have said
is go party, but also that I led by example and I,
I helped everybody like I've paved away.

(59:55):
So I turned around and I'm helping everybody up and I was selflessly helping everybody out.
And I would, I lived selflessly and I lived in kindness.
I'm with Lauren and Butch on that. I want people to feel that I'm kind and that
I inspired others to live their best.
I have a motto that you just got to suck at something new. Try new things.

(01:00:15):
I even said that too in a video.
Don't be scared to suck at things and try new things. And I've always lived
my own life by the beat of my own drum, annoyingly to some people.
But it's my life and I'm going to do what I want to do. And I really hope that
when my time comes, that that's what that's what's said.

(01:00:35):
And I really hope that I adopted. And so when you're talking about,
you know, the children on the street, that's that connects to my heart.
And so I really hope that my son gets adopted.
Gets up there and says, I lived the best life. And I'm really glad that she
adopted me and that I got to live as her son.
And that's, I guess, that's the ending up.

(01:00:58):
I love it. I love it. My sister, I'm the same way. Ain't nobody going to be
sad. You guys better be listening to ACDC. I don't make it.
Alika, smoking Cuban cigars. It better be a party.
Like, I want you guys to go right after. Go do the stuff that I do in the jungles.
I like jumping waterfalls and going hunting and go have a great time. I love it.

(01:01:20):
We are brothers and sisters from another life, my friend.
Appreciate that. And look who we got back on the stage. We got back here,
Jared Barnes. I appreciate, Jared, for the beautiful message.
Hey, Jared, I'm going to have to ask you again. That was such a great, it was a small glitch.
So, but I'm going to ask you one more time. I love the hair.
And in Jared Barnes own words at your eulogy 70 years from now what is your

(01:01:46):
best friend going to say who was Jared Barnes,
aside from all the roasting and embarrassing stories they're probably going
to tell about me I hope that he tells everybody how selfless I was how much
humor I brought to the room because I'm always trying to make everybody laugh and my persistence and,

(01:02:08):
Willing to not give up no matter what. I hope I can pass that on to everybody I love for sure.
Man, I appreciate you, my friend, big time. And thank you for all you're doing.
Good luck at the tournament in October, my brother. We're going to do big things.
And go team USA, man. I appreciate you.
And guys, I'm just, look at that. Flexing.
It's about to go down. I want to go spar with you guys. I'm about 50 pounds overweight.

(01:02:32):
So I need to drop some weight and get freshened up on the skill set.
But team, I'm just so grateful to all of you guys. I'm looking forward to doing big things.
I'm just so honored here to have the world and God brought all of us together on this stage.
And this is just the beginning. I'm looking forward to seeing you guys out on
social media. We have some fun. We'll go potty on IG.

(01:02:55):
Janay, whenever you and I are pottying somewhere, we'll go live on IG just to create awareness.
Same thing with you, Jared. I always like to mess up.
Whenever you have a little help, tag me on IG. I'll mess
with Mayer and we'll have a little live interview there and Ivan

Butch just keep being you brother just keep being you helping and inspiring
so many others around the world and And I'm excited, guys. I'm excited what is ahead of us.

(01:03:38):
I pray that everybody listening to this on the replay, live,
in the comments, you know, it doesn't have to be, if not, this money that can
support those athletes.
It's that like, it's that comment, it's that subscribe into our channels,
into each one of us' social media accounts, and just engaging.
So more and more people see it, so they watch it.

(01:04:01):
Because every one of us over here, we document the struggles.
And it's not all pretty and then it's not all about you know the gold medals
yes fine but that lasts a few seconds nobody talks about the 10 20 years that
they practice for that two seconds.
On the stage and and that's what
this is about it's about honoring the struggle honoring the suck going

(01:04:22):
