0:00.0	Most of the things I'm doing, I think, are revolutionary. The real people, the real followers, they know who I am and they know what I'm about. I understand we all care about what other people think about us. And so if you're walking around these insecurities, it's understandable. But man, that sounds really paralyzing. I do believe I'm one of the first influencers and I do believe I had a big impact on the industry and showed a lot of
0:21.7	people how to power lift, how to strength train. Do your best to just be on your own path, your own way.
0:26.5	When you first get acquainted with something, you're going to suck at it. You're not going to enjoy it.
0:31.5	But what happens when you gain that skill? All right, everybody, happy motherfucking birthday to me.
0:38.3	I'm 49 years old, December 10th.

1:19.6	because I am the leader of the race to zero followers.
1:23.6	So I'll start out by saying that I voted for Donald Trump more than once.
1:28.5	And hopefully that will kick this thing off the right way, give you a little kick in the
1:32.5	balls. But I think that even just on that topic, I think that things like that shouldn't
1:41.0	put people so strongly on one side versus another.
1:44.5	I mean,
1:45.8	half the country votes on the president-ish, right?
1:48.7	I know there's more to it than just that, but, right?
