And like, I just, I have not heard a voice in own my head but mine for a very very very long time. And I think what is most interesting to me right now is, if you really pay attention to what's happening, the Internet has absolutely done this incredible thing, which is there's nobody who's flawed that can sit in between you and the end consumer who's stopping you besides the narrative in your own head. That's a big deal. Like, you know, obviously, a lot of people growing up in the music industry, it's just so different now. Like, just fucking go make it, like producing a song now with technology and putting it on SoundCloud, production and distribution. Like, that's some shit you couldn't have even imagined.
And so I just think, I'll be very honest, I think we're living through the greatest time to be a human ever, I do. We've got problems everywhere, we got genocide in the world, we've got nothing but unlimited problems. But I put things into perspective, like I don't know. We got plenty of problems, but the black plague was worse. Right? We got plenty of problems, but World War II was worse. Like you know, there's just opportunity because of the Internet, not because we've evolved, I don't put this on us. Like, we've still got plenty of short, but the fact that we have so much opportunity. And so to me, it's basic. Either you're dwelling and looking backwards, or you're optimistic and looking forward. The problem is, you grow up in an environment, you grow up with parents that put you on the defense or the offense. And that is really the lottery. The lottery really is who's your mom, right. The lottery is who's your best friend. That's the lottery I think a lot about. And so I look at, I have unlimited white male friends who have tons of fucking money in the bank who fucking lost, who suck, who are in depression 'cause they got the wrong lottery 'cause their mom's broken 'cause her mom was broken and 'cause her dad was broken. And so I am the byproduct, against all the odds that I had, of parents that fucking dominated. Like, my mom is all time. Just all time, she is. And so, even when I was getting Ds and Fs and all the other immigrant families were making fun of her because her son wasn't gonna make it 'cause you had to get As and Bs 'cause that's all we knew in the 80s and 90s, she knew who I was, she let me hone my skills. I'd get Ds and Fs, I'd get punished, but I was still allowed to go do my baseball card shows 'cause I was building my skill, building my skill. And they taught me work. They taught me work. I didn't see my dad until I was 15, and he made me work in his liquor store even though we slept in the same house every night, because he'd left before I woke up and he came after. And so we live in this world now where the fact of the matter is, your Instagram account, your YouTube account, your SoundCloud account, the Internet. Like, the fact that, let me tell you something that fascinates me. Because we think a lot about money and opportunity, let me tell you about an opportunity that I can't get out of my head. Which is, there's a website called Craigslist. There's a section called Free where people list shit that they wanna get rid of. You go there and you take it. And then you list it on Facebook Marketplace and you sell it. And when I think about this, I've been dreaming about this for the last 72 hours, by the way. I'm literally doing this selfishly so (mumbles) captures this 'cause this video is going out. You know, it's crazy to me that the only thing that stops somebody from winning is education and the work ethic, right.
