I can stack them hundreds to the roof. I ain't stopping till they stack to the moon.

When I'm in my family, wouldn't have food. Anybody go and get me got a loom.

What is up guys? You're listening to the MF CEO project. I'm Andy. I'm your host and I am the mother fuck at CEO.

Today is going to be a short podcast. First off, this is your first time listening. This is a entrepreneurship personal development.

How to kick ass at everything you do podcast. I know we're technically in the business section, but we basically cover everything that you would have to learn to succeed.

I don't charge for this. This is something we charge for. I don't want ads. I'm not filling my first podcast first 10 minutes with ads like everybody else does and all that other bullshit.

We just get right to the point and return. I do have a fee. I ask that you refer a friend for each podcast that you find value in. Now today is a little bit different of a podcast.

Exactly 15 years ago today on June 26, 2003. I was stabbed in the face. A lot of you guys asked me how I got scars on my face.

I cover the whole incident in episode number one. Today just happens to be the 15th anniversary of that day.

It's affected my life in a lot of ways. At first, it was very difficult.

By the way, if you don't know the story to summer it up, I got stabbed in the face, had 160 stitches in my face.

Permanent nerve damage on the left side of my face. That's why I don't really smile that much because my smile is only I get like a half a smile.

I've gone through a lot of depression issues, a lot of a lot of very dark times to say the least. But ultimately, you know, it's made me a better person.

What I learned from the experience, I wouldn't trade for anything. And if I could take it back, I wouldn't because I think ultimately it's made me a better person.

If you want to hear the whole story, you can go back and listen to episode one. Now, what I do want to talk about though is something that I think is very important for a lot of you guys listening.

And this isn't going to take real long. It's just something that I think is important to note and something that we really haven't talked about too much.

A lot of people ask me because you know, this permanently affected my life, it affected my self-esteem, it gave me depression issues, severe depression issues.

I'm not talking about feeling bad. I'm talking about being literally fighting the urge to kill yourself every single day, multiple times a day for years of my life.

And people say, don't you want to get them back? Don't you want to do something back to them? Don't you want to, you know, how do you feel about him and this and that.

And the truth of the matter is guys is that, you know, I forgave the guy who did this a long time ago.

Ultimately, like I said, it's been a great thing for me because I've gotten stronger, I've gotten better. It made me more memorable. There's a million benefits that that incident has contributed.

And to be honest, if it hadn't happened, I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you guys right now and living the life that I live.
