Summary
This episode my trigger some people and it talks about things that are pretty graphic, but they're true.
At this stage in my life, I've had the fancy cars, watches, a mcmansion, luxury vacations, the lights, the camera, and unimagineable experiences.
But it wasn't always like that.
I remember what it felt like to get my first high-rise condo.
I thought, "I made it!"
But there was something darker stewing over me.
It was divorce.
Seeing my son every other weekend and every Wednesday.
I was living in this beautiful high-rise condo where I had my own elevator to my floor, was driving a Maserati, and building a business.
But I was miserable.
And yes, I thought about jumping.
I was trying to save my business.
I was lonely.
I was depressed.
I was heart broken.
But let me tell you this.......
We all have a choice from moment to moment to choose differently. No matter the trials and tribulations you've been through, find things you love and are passionate about. Do more of those.
Surround yourself with people who love, honor, and respect you.
And only those people.
Over time, and in time, you will have everything you need.
Things will turn around.
They do get better.
Unless you quit.
Don't quit.
The challenges are part of the lessons.

| 0:28.6 | I go up and get on the elevator from the parking garage to do the 15th floor of my penthouse. |
| 0:34.9 | This was like a real penthouse too. Like the elevator doors open and there's my |
| 0:39.2 | like entryway. There wasn't a door. You don't have to knock on somebody's door. It was like the |
| 0:44.4 | elevators. I had a for real penthouse. I know a lot of these fools. They like check out my |
| 0:49.1 | penthouse. Then they got to walk down some hallway. Nah, man, I have my own personal elevator. This was the shit. But I was depressed. I was fucking depressed. I hear people before say, oh, you know, I can't go cry in a Lambo, get in the elevator in my penthouse. I've been there. Shit. I had a Maserati in a penthouse and I was depressed as fuck. I was going through a divorce. |
| 1:12.9 | I was worried I was never going to see my kid again. And I remember one evening drunk as hell, |
| 1:18.0 | I walked to the balcony of that 15-story building. And I thought, man, you know what? I got life |
| 1:23.5 | insurance. Maybe if I just stumbled off the edge of the building here, the life insurance |
| 1:29.3 | would pay. My kid would have a better life than having to deal with me and going through all these |
| 1:34.4 | ups and downs. The ex-wife could have the divorce she wanted. She could just fucking have it all. |
| 1:39.2 | I'm just fucking over it. I never thought about suicide when I was locked up in prison. And remind you, when I was |
