You're a man. You're committed to the work required to forge your own destiny.

Your blood, your sweat, your tears.

You will not be defeated. You cannot be deterred.

is I take my thoughts and my notes throughout the week and I share them here with you today.

Now, a lot of people ask me where I come up with topics for the show.
