1:52 to an author and I would say a
1:54 bestselling yeah you know this is uh
1:56 this is a goal this is a goal and this
1:58 is something that was on my list of to-dos
2:00 to-dos
2:01 checked hey man let me tell you go ahead
2:03 honey I was just saying I was checking
2:05 it off for him well don't get in my way next
2:07 next
2:10 time she still Star truck I don't give a
2:12 damn you know what I'm saying but but
2:14 it's crazy Kev because at some point we
2:17 thought we knew not all but we knew a
2:19 lot about Kevin Hart in the years that
2:22 I've known you we shared so many stories
2:25 K but reading the book you know and I'm
2:26 going to tell you straight up like I had
2:29 the book since yesterday so I'm more
2:30 than halfway through
2:33 you know but I'm looking at what I see
2:36 so far and I'm like man there's a lot of
2:38 layers and when we think about Kevin
2:41 Haren we say man like I always say man
2:42 you hustling you're grind you're this
2:45 you're that when I read the book I see a
2:47 lot of the purpose now you know what I'm
2:48 saying and when you could have turned
2:49 around writing it I mean listen the
2:51 reason for writing a book big and this
2:54 is just keeping it 100 is it's I'm not
2:56 selfish with information yeah man you
2:57 understand what I'm saying and I think
2:59 that right now I'm at an amazing point
3:02 in my life where uh I have a platform
3:04 okay I have a great body of work and
3:06 people look at you and they say oh my
3:09 God Kevin successful uh how did they do
3:11 it that's the biggest question how'd you
3:13 do it how' you get there and I just want
3:15 people to understand that that road to
3:17 get in here is not the easiest Road and
3:21 that that amount of nose that you hear
3:24 on that road prepare you for the one yes
3:26 that you will eventually how do you not
3:28 say eff it you know what I'm saying and
3:30 I mean you got to read the book just
3:32 with the story bro just of you know
3:34 doing your thing in Philly and thinking
3:35 that it's popping in Philly then
3:37 somebody telling you ke saying no you
3:39 got to go to was it Keith that told you
3:41 got to go to New York Keith Robin you
3:43 got to go to New York and then actually
3:45 chauffeuring somebody up to New York
3:47 without even getting on stage you know
3:48 what I'm saying and and Performing for
3:51 food yes performing for a burger and and
3:54 and a coke how do you take that and then
3:56 going to someone else that was respected
3:58 that you saw push careers through like
4:00 Jerry Seinfeld and Murph and you go is
4:03 it Lucian that you go to and this is the
4:06 guy that's going to make what did he
4:08 tell you after your comedy set for your
4:10 listeners that uh that of course don't
4:12 know who Lucian is yet because you may
4:14 or may not have read the book yet Lucian
4:17 Lucian holds was was like the Jedi you
4:18 know if this guy put his hand on you for
4:21 comedy or said anything positive about
4:23 you in stand of Comedy you were you were
4:25 golden you know he he had the Oprah
4:27 effect when it came to you know he
4:30 discovered so many of the big uh the big
4:32 names in comedy today so I had an
4:34 audition for Lucian where I had to
4:37 perform at the comedy club Lucian was
4:39 going to watch me and then I would get
4:42 reviewed and be told if I will be able
4:43 to come back and perform in a comedy
4:45 club and be a regular I perform I
4:48 thought what I did was a great set uh he
4:50 takes me to his office and he flat out
4:53 tells me to my face no smile no nothing
4:56 he said this isn't for you he said you
4:57 need to you need to find something else
5:00 to do damn this isn't it I'm I'm waiting
5:03 for the joke right like this guy
5:06 isar I'm waiting for like the I'm joking
5:08 man now get on out there he was like uh
5:10 so you know you should really really
5:12 think about putting your time into
5:14 something else more constructive how do
5:17 you take that do are you motivated by
5:21 now the F you are you motivated by is it
5:23 Collective things like what I what I had
5:27 to understand was that you you're not in
5:30 competition with with anybody but
5:33 yourself so those those grudges you know
5:37 those those reasons that you may uh give
5:40 yourself of motivation ultimately are
5:42 are you know they they're
5:45 pointless I'm mad at you I'mma prove you
5:48 wrong all right well when I prove you
5:49 wrong then what
5:52 happen What Happens prove me right yes
5:54 it's like I don't there there is no win
5:56 in that so I had to understand that if
5:58 I'm going to stay true to what I feel
6:01 that I can do then I need to be the one
6:02 to convince myself that this is what I'm
6:04 supposed to be doing but a lot of people
6:06 cev don't have that bounceback that's
6:08 why you don't have a lot of a lot of
6:10 people that you know make it to a a
6:12 certain successful point in life because
6:16 a lot of people um a lot of people can
6:17 give up it's easy to give up you know
6:19 it's easy it's the easiest thing in the
6:21 world to do I man I'm I'm done I ain't
6:23 going oh yeah I ain't gonna keep going
6:24 yeah I don't feel like going to work
6:27 done it's easy it's very easy but what's
6:31 hard is going yo yesterday I got nothing
6:33 from working as hard as I could nothing
6:35 happened from that I'm going to do the
6:37 same thing again today but I'm going to
6:38 try to go harder that's the hardest
6:41 thing in the world to get up every day
6:44 and give 100% And and be in the same
6:47 position that you were each day but
6:49 mentally know that you're trying and
6:51 trying and trying that's that's a real
6:53 that's a real grind and you know what
6:56 happens now Kev man is that people think
6:57 anything that you have to do there's no
7:00 real outliers there's no 10,000 hours
7:02 anymore people think that anything you
7:04 do right now I got to be compensated
7:06 like people want to jump in right now
7:08 and they want to be Kevin Hart you know
7:10 what I'm saying without going through or
7:12 knowing the story of how you got there
7:14 now we we could look at Kev now Gucci
7:16 sweater on or if if we see you on the
7:18 plane over there but need to point out
7:20 we got it on video as
7:23 well but you know what I always tell
7:25 people like man why should I be ashamed
7:29 of My Success like I work hard I get up
7:31 every day no matter if I'm sick or not
7:33 whatever it may be I kiss my kids good I
7:36 would love to just sit down and do
7:38 nothing and and get it all see but once
7:40 again that's where you go into the the
7:43 care of of somebody else's opinion
7:45 that's why I keep preaching like you you
7:49 are your own competition you there there
7:52 is nobody that can judge your actions
7:54 but you if if I'm putting like you said
7:58 if I'm putting 100% into my life I'm
8:01 going to put 100% into my play when it's
8:04 time for me to play put
8:08 110% into me and my family I don't care
8:10 what it is that we do I'm going to give
8:14 it 100% when it's time to to enjoy
8:16 ourselves on whatever level we want to
8:18 do that's that's my decisions it's it's
8:21 it's what I feel I deserve from what
8:25 I've done and I think what what I love
8:27 the most about the book and the story
8:29 that the book is telling is basically
8:31 making people understand that your life
8:33 is a book your life is a book your life
8:36 got chapters each chapter in your life
8:38 is is is a punctuation whether it's a
8:40 positive or A negative and before you
8:42 move on to that next chapter you got a
8:43 decision to make if I'm going to correct
8:45 what I did in the chapter before
8:47 ultimately when you get to the end of
8:50 that book it's written by you so How It
8:52 Ends you wrote it right if that book
8:55 ended bad which is your life you wrote
8:58 that book if you went to jail got out
9:01 and then went back to jail again you
9:03 wrote that that's that's your
9:05 handwriting all over that but if you
9:07 went to jail said I'm not going back
9:09 when it took three steps back to make
9:11 five steps forward speak that book is
9:13 going to end on a positive punctuation
9:16 by time you close it and it's the end my
9:18 thing is write your story but write it
9:21 correctly nobody's perfect everybody's
9:22 full of imperfections and that's why I
9:23 let it all out that's why I got as
9:26 honest as I got in my book hell of a
9:28 book bro and I'm talking about man this
9:31 like already I got so many like
9:32 highlights and scribbles and you know
9:34 what I'm saying because it apply it's
9:37 not just your life mhm and your lessons
9:39 it applies to us also just when you
9:41 thinking like damn you could everybody
9:43 think oh I'm doing a lot but then you
9:44 think like damn now I can be doing more
9:45 you can be doing more yeah you could be
9:47 doing more man and you're you're cut
9:49 from a cloth Kevin that it would have
9:52 been easy to kind of just check out or
9:54 easy to just say you know what man I got
9:57 so many so-called things against me that
10:00 you know I can be the soal statistic and
10:02 people can look at that and it's it's
10:03 it's not a problem because you know we
10:06 we come from certain Beginnings you know
10:09 and but it seemed like whatever the and
10:11 the same with me Kev like we didn't grow
10:14 up rich but we were extremely rich in
10:16 love we were influent with my mom and my
10:18 brothers and everybody and I can see
10:20 almost which is almost more valuable
10:22 than money y for sure so much it's
10:24 almost more valuable than money yes sir
10:26 I say that because you know I didn't I
10:28 didn't have it coming up I mean you know
10:32 we was we was in a a a one a one room
10:34 efficiency I wouldn't even call it an
10:36 apartment you know just my bedroom was
10:38 in a hallway my brother's bed was on top
10:42 of mine my mom had the one bedroom that
10:43 was in the house but the kitchen was
10:45 right next to me and my brother's bed so
10:47 you went like you walk in there's a
10:48 kitchen then you got me and my brother
10:51 bed then you got my mom which was kind
10:53 of a room and then we had a little space
10:55 where we put a couch that was it I mean
10:58 you talking I don't know 400 500 sareet
11:01 if that right but that's all we knew
11:04 that's home I'm happy I I didn't know
11:06 backyards and grass existed until I went
11:08 over one of my friends houses on the
11:10 swim team and I was like what is this
11:14 y'all y'all like the the
11:17 Drummond man where at where we at like
11:19 this is a different stroke for real and
11:22 you got a car we overcame nobody told me
11:23 this is that was a different it was a
11:27 different uh it was a different look but
11:29 but the amount of
11:32 attention uh that my mother gave me
11:36 whether it was strict uh or not strict
11:39 it was I had a woman who was constantly
11:41 in my face that wouldn't allow me to do
11:44 no wrong I had a woman that constantly
11:46 beat in my head you don't start stuff
11:47 that you're not going to finish you're
11:49 going to be something you're not going
11:51 to be it was constantly beating my head
11:53 as much as I didn't want to it's in it's
11:55 in me whether I wanted to be there or
11:58 not it's when you drill something in
12:01 someone and on a verbal note on a
12:03 day-to-day basis you may think it has no
12:05 effect on you I didn't know that my mom
12:06 had the effect on me that she had on me
12:09 until I got to be about 23 24 yeah and I
12:10 start doing things I was like yo that's
12:13 my mom yeah man that's crazy when you
12:14 start saying stuff like no no no I
12:17 started it I'mma finish it I'm what
12:20 the whoa yo I know that I've been doing
12:22 a lot but I want to do more that was my
12:25 mom my mom was going to school going
12:26 back to school I got this degree I want
12:30 to get a master's degree why mom why not
12:31 I'm just saying that's why you already
12:33 finished school you already graduated
12:34 you got a master why you going to get
12:37 another one because I can why can't I be
12:39 the best that I want to be I'm doing it
12:41 Kevin just to further my education for
12:43 me things like that stuck with me so now
12:46 when you see me work so hard my whole
12:48 thing is why shouldn't I be why
12:52 shouldn't I Want It All why why why
12:55 should I only want a little bit I I I
12:57 look at it as I can have it all why why
12:59 can't I have Oprah got a I want a
13:01 network right right right Tyler Perry
13:04 went and got a studio I want a studio y
13:06 h what you doing with Rock Nature that's
13:09 your whole thing man I want to do that
13:11 why not why not look at what people are
13:14 doing as a blueprint and tell yourself I
13:17 aspire to do that and to have that and
13:19 when it's actually in Arms Reach which
13:21 everything is in life if you really
13:23 really think about it it is everything
13:26 is in Arms Reach you just have to work
13:29 to get there there there is no easy Road
13:32 to what you want it's a long road you
13:33 got a lot of people that want to be a
13:34 doctor some people don't want to go to
13:35 school for eight years right but the
13:37 ones that go to school for eight years
13:38 end up being some of the best doctors
13:40 ever and live a doctor's lifestyle some
13:42 people say doctor's lifestyle sucks not
13:44 the doctor that dreamed to be the doctor
13:46 he loves because that's what he wanted
13:48 to do everybody want to be a lawyer some
13:49 people don't want to go to school for
13:51 that eight to 10 years the ones that
13:53 make it out end up being some of the
13:54 best lawyers in the world and are very
13:56 happy with their practice and the people
13:57 that needed on a day-to-day basis but it
14:00 took work to get there everybody that
14:03 wants to do something doesn't understand
14:04 the steps that you have to take to get
14:06 there and it's not just an entertainment
14:09 it's an all aspects of Life man and
14:11 that's what I learn at a young age no
14:13 matter what you can't escape work you
14:16 can't only way to escape work is a easy
14:18 route right right not work is quick
14:20 flipping money you you want to go quick
14:21 flip some money there there is a world
14:23 for that but that world nine times out
14:25 of 10 ends bad you got a couple people
14:26 that's going to get lucky and are smart
14:28 enough to get out of it yeah other than
14:32 that not going to escape work you're not
14:34 and that's what I realized so instead of
14:35 trying to escape it I address it from
14:38 the standpoint of putting 100 10% into
14:40 it in any and everything I do anything
14:43 there is no half ass in me man there's
14:45 so much Kev that I want to talk to you
14:48 about as well man like it was at at one
14:49 point in the book where you were saying
14:50 man when when you worked at the shoe
14:52 spot that you worked at then you wanted
14:54 to be like man I'm going to be a Nike
14:56 rep City Sports Philadelphia yeah and
14:59 you wanted to be like I know what I'm
15:00 going to do I had it I had I'm going to
15:03 be a Nike rep I know about all the shoes
15:04 I done learned the game so on and so
15:06 forth and now when you kind of fast
15:08 forward to where you sitting our today
15:11 you Nik you're a Nike
15:14 rep Nik it's the SC how crazy is that is
15:17 the scariest thing in the world how life
15:19 comes full circle this guy used to come
15:21 in my mom basically said look you're not
15:24 going to sit in here and not do nothing
15:26 uh this is after graduating I went to
15:28 Community College I was like this ain't
15:31 for me I don't want to go to school mom
15:32 she said you going to figure it out you
15:34 got a year to figure it out and if you
15:35 don't do it your way you going to do it
15:37 my way and that's an agreement that we
15:38 made and I was working in City Sports
15:40 and this guy used to come in he worked
15:42 for Nike and he was in charge of product
15:44 placement and all he would do no matter
15:45 what we had in the store he would change
15:47 it our product isn't displayed right
15:49 these Nike shirts should be here the
15:50 Nike sneakers should be here these
15:52 should be displayed here this
15:54 information should be here I want people
15:56 to understand what we are versus what
15:57 other people are and I used like man
16:00 this guy's so cool
16:01 look at him man he come in he got his
16:03 little backpack on the Nike stuff he
16:04 worked for corporate and I used to talk
16:06 to him all the time how do I get the
16:07 corporate I used to ask the question cuz
16:09 in my mind that's what I wanted right
16:11 that's what I wanted to do and comedy
16:15 hit and I never look back at that world
16:17 cuz I was like I was I was wrong right
16:20 right not what I you were right yeah but
16:22 it's scary how it comes full a circle
16:25 cuz years later it comes up that wow
16:28 Kevin is motivating and inspiring people
16:29 to Simply Be
16:31 Kevin it's a great partnership between
16:33 you and I because of your lifestyle we
16:34 would love to engage more in a
16:36 conversation I said only if the
16:38 conversation coincides with what it is
16:40 that I really do everything I do is
16:43 authentic so if it's about me being
16:44 healthy then you have to do it the way
16:47 that I do it I run but I love to run
16:49 with people so if I can motivate and get
16:50 people to get up and get out and do what
16:52 they don't normally do this is perfect
16:54 if you guys can support that and put a
16:57 movement behind me hence move with heart
16:59 hence Hustle Heart with all the training
17:01 all of that stuff comes with that
17:04 separation between athlete and regular
17:05 individual can be closed because in our
17:07 mind we should all be whatever we want
17:09 to be we all got a little athlete in us
17:11 I'm just giving you a push to realize it
17:13 Nike said we love it we love you we're
17:16 signing you I just re just resign for
17:19 two more years damn your own Sho my own
17:22 shoe online it's just it's unheard of
17:25 it's unheard of but is there another and
17:27 and and it's crazy just to say comedian
17:29 now yeah uh Kevin you say Kevin Hart now
17:31 you know what I'm saying like if I were
17:32 to introduce you I wouldn't say comedian
17:35 Kevin Hart but is it are you like the
17:38 only cat that that came from that field
17:39 comedy wise that never had another
17:42 Entertainer period sign damn
17:44 wow I think uh I think Michael B Jordan
17:46 now is coming on a team which is good
17:48 shout out to him I think they can hide
17:49 him under some of them Jordans that
17:51 didn't you know what I'm saying like we
17:54 got the Jordan Michael B Kevin I
17:56 remember years ago before you wrote the
17:58 book you used to tell me stories about
18:00 your pops mhm and one of the funniest
18:03 stories to me then was when pops was
18:05 wanted to teach y'all how to be men and
18:06 he had a situation that was going down
18:08 and this not in the book though Kev he
18:10 had a situation that was going down so
18:12 he took Kev and his brother outside and
18:14 he sat y'all on the porch because he was
18:16 about to get physical with someone and
18:19 he wanted y'all to see how hands on him
18:21 really got hands put on him in front of

31:01 how much have you learned the right and
31:03 the wrong T from from from everything
31:05 that's exactly what it is like I I got a
31:07 blueprint of what to do and what not to
31:10 do I'm I'm a dad now I'm an amazing dad
31:11 let me tell you let me tell you how
31:13 crazy this is how serious I take this
31:18 Dad this Dad title I am here now I had
31:20 to fly back I'm on my book tour right
31:22 now yes sir I was in New York I had book
31:23 signing I had interviews I had talk
31:26 shows everything I had to fly back
31:28 yesterday right as soon as I got done
31:32 get here by 4:00 I had 45 minutes to get
31:34 from the airport to my daughter's school
31:37 catch my daughter's graduation see my
31:40 baby graduate be there with her love you
31:42 honey oh my God she's so happy I'm here
31:45 first of all didn't even didn't even
31:47 give Dad a good 40 minutes cuz the
31:48 friends and everybody's around but the
31:50 fact that I was there was enough you saw
31:52 my face you saw Daddy come back going
31:55 right back to the city now soon as I'm
31:56 done this I gotta get back on the plan I
31:58 gotta go back to New York pick up where
32:01 I left off on the East Coast then I
32:04 gotta come back out here on the weekend
32:06 because my son got his last soccer game
32:08 damn so I gotta catch that g then I got
32:12 to go back out but being present and
32:14 making sure that time is spent with the
32:15 kids is more important than anything
32:17 because I know the effect that it has if
32:19 you don't yes sir so because I witnessed
32:21 those things and I was just strong
32:23 enough to make it through it I'm just a
32:25 I'm just a realist I know how to
32:28 separate false reality from real reality
32:31 and real reality is no matter how much
32:32 emotion and feeling you may have or how
32:34 much hurt you may have life has to go on
32:36 life doesn't stop anybody so if you
32:38 don't process that and understand that
32:40 you're stuck in whatever time period you
32:41 got hurt
32:44 forever forever yes sir yes sir yes so
32:47 grudges and anger and negativity I don't
32:49 have time for it because I'm living to
32:53 do so much positive things got so much
32:55 positive outlook on everything else is
32:57 coming in the future I can't I can't
