ridesharesupplies nah, not always! Sometimes it’s just a step. In a big scheme of things, there is no perfect, step-by-step success module - keep pushing 😎 💪
what i can appreciate about kevin is that in almost every answer he gives an experience as his answer. he's basically saying .. hey, don't trust me, trust these experiences. its a great outlook on life. and oddly you can tell he really wants the best for people which is why he has such an edge on his tone.
Not arrogance, confidence. Not "brutal", pragmatist. A lot of people ignore the ugliness of the world, but the modern day warrior must face it head on. The horrors of the world cannot be ignored, they must be fought..with real solutions. I read his book, and it gave me an entire new outlook on the world, and on him. He is an admirable person. Another thing I should point out to people is that being nice, isn't being kind. If you want to feed your child nothing but ice cream in order to be nice, you are not being kind to the child. If a person prioritizes the safeguarding of feelings, over the pursuit of personal development, they will find it is impossible to compete and the world will call them "loser". That happened to me. Don't be nice, be kind. It's called "Tough love".
He wasn't evil to most ppl in business on Shark Tank or Dragons Den. I'd like to thank Kevin as I watched DD in Australia and Kevin, Jim and Arlene are like heroes to me. I got fired and started my business based on these 3 ppl, it's amazing.
Much like communism. Sounds right on paper, but in practice...... eeeh maybe start over. Cause you need someone willing to give without getting. But gain beats reasoning. Making a business is difficult but the definition of freedom varies. Even if you own the company you're still limited by legal rights and the same right as anyone else. And all that money comes at a price, most often freedom itself. Due to how much you must manage it. The problem is when you don't. If you have lots of spare time while running a business then what is it you're actually doing. And also those who own a business, gain power, and power corrupts. You can say it isn't about money, but you make a business most of the time to make money, that's all. Disney was all about money, Ford was all about money and today it's always money. The entire capitalistic system is about gain, why else do you think it's so shitty now? If oil companies didn't get to have influence and lobbyists then countries wouldn't have the US breathing down their necks for natural resources, the electric car would've been further developed when cars were first created. The message is a good one, but in practice it's either warped or not true.
This interview if fantastic. Thank you for gently pushing O'Leary into answering some of the more philosophical viewpoints on money (like whether it corrupts). You asked great questions and then you let him fully answer without interrupting... a rare thing these days.
I have taken 30 yrs to become the best in my industry at something and spent the last 2 years attracting 20+ Licensees to use my brand and am growing every day. Every word out of Keven's mouth is exceedingly helpful to an entrepreneur like myself. My take-away with him always seems to be that I have to raise the bar and expect more from myself.
This interviewer is phenomenal. He isn’t making the conversation about him, anytime he adds commentary it’s to tie in what Kevin said to the next question, and he doesn’t ramble on with it. Fantastic job.
Excellent interviewer. I liked that you pushed him to answer the questions. I think he only half answered but that itself also gave us a sense into his mindset and what he’s comfortable talking about.
I am thinking about a new type of restaurants : eating-spots, in eating-spots, food keeps changing, chefs also rotate, this is opposed to current restaurants, thanks to this rotation of food and chefs, eating-spots are way more powerful than restaurants, along with that, there is an app, people vote for the food that will be cooked in the next days, menu is influenced by the live input of the people via an app.
His first job was in high school at an ice cream parlor, he got fired and says at 15:11 “ I never worked a day in my life for somebody EVER AGAIN” but said at 1:27 he had a summer job in college at a pet food company.. If I heard something wrong please correct me. Where he came from and where he is today is an inspiration. I came to this video to gain knowledge, but if your going to tell stories make sure they line up with each other.
Kevin O'Leary is probably one of the only people that I would feel truly intimidated by! He's got such intense eyes that seems to pierce through your soul. Love this guy!
34:01 100% wrong, you can get that freedom without going through all that stress and work to make millions. Wealth is in your mind, your relationships, your health, your lack of stress
Awesome interview! Some people think Kevin is hard-nosed, but they're just shooting the messenger. You have to be blunt with people in order for them to get the message. Especially people who are beginning to venture into an area they're unfamiliar with like running a business. There are so many distractions/hope/ aspirations, they won't get the message otherwise. My father worked for wages briefly in his youth also and then went on to start and run 12 businesses, some of them during the Depression. He had to stay nimble and change when things didn't work out. He was quite successful in the end. So this interview resonates a lot with me.
Agreed bro. The interviewer is able to get Kevin comfortable enuf to open up everything bout his philosophy to everything in his life to how vultures circling the BBQ.... But I wished that he allowed Kevin to talk about the cat food philosophy which he wanted to eleborate in beginning of video
Thanks, Brian! Your great questions made this episode a real pleasure to watch. It’s the first time I’ve gotten to know Kevin, listen to every word he says, and understand his insights.
Thank you for watching Amit! 🙏 Hope you're subscribed...Here's the next video I recommend: "Why There's No Overnight Success" ruclips.net/video/4UtGHXkGCxk/видео.html
This was a great interview. The interviewer was terrific. Asked great questions and never interrupted. I have a feeling the 20s, media/business, will belong to Mr O'Leary. Mr . O'Leary should be the next Apple CEO.
Here, he says he's THAT good and can tell instantly from talking to someone if a company is going to work or not...yet he has also said: "What I’ve learned after doing this a long time [is] no matter how you feel, and how optimistic you are, in the moment of making an investment, pulling the trigger, you have no idea of the outcome".
5:02 “I think great CEO’s, great entrepreneurs combine the chaos of art with the discipline of science.” 24:39 “Experience is just intuition distilled.” 31:06 “The fear of failure is perhaps the most important motivator [an entrepreneur’s] got.” 35:32 “I think that if you’re a real asshole, you’re going to pay the price one day...Karma is how that gets settled.” 35:50 “If you de-risk your children’s lives, you are giving them a disease.” 46:00 “Go to my cellar and get a $2,000 bottle of wine.” *The most I ever spent on a bottle of wine was $65, and I thought that was excessive* 😂 Bonus: Employees are de-risked by the companies and employers they work for (??:?? Time stamp) 48:00 Removing CEO’s/founder/entrepreneur-operator and moving them up into chairman position (retaining equity). I.e. Trevor Milton removal from CEO and becoming chairman of Nikola (NKLA).
Thank you for watching Chris! 🙏 Hope you're subscribed...if you tell me what else you're interested in learning I'll make another video recommendation from my channel.
@@nepatriots77 Good luck with your education if you think earning a MBA is BS. Maybe for you it is BS because it isn't something you would be able to achieve.
You need that first big lump sum of capital to get started in making millions. A Salary is the drug is what they give you when they want you to forget about your dreams.
This all depends my man. If you view that salary as your way to grow and build up your personal start up capital then your statement is false. However, conservatively probably 90+% of people who get that good salary become comfortable and comfort is the enemy of doing whatever it takes to realize those dreams. It makes you hesitant to burn your boats in order to take the island.
In Kenya, a salary is the only to get started ...... Makes you friends with the banks..... And provides that guaranteed payments for the loans. The loans than build whatever it is you want to do. Here, you really can't get "Investors" ....... They don't exist, unless they are your parents.
Can anyone please elaborate and explain the cat food and Technology analogy I do not understand how the two are related I do not understand how the cat food lesson translated into the business strategy for the software company
I think what Kevin is saying is that if you have 1-2 basic ingredients that power your product or service, you don't need to reinvent the wheel. Imagine if automobile OEMs made the same base model of car but you could create a new "skin" that snapped on top of that model and turned it into looking like a sports car...SUV...sedan...etc. You'd save a ton of money not having to re-tool and reproduce so many different kinds of vehicles. Kevin used the engine that powered his educational software, re-skinned it to have multiple different looks and was able to go to market much faster and cheaper than competitors.
@@BehindtheBrand thank you do you know how he did so? In the educational software example I would imagine that each subject would require vastly different types of content are you suggesting that for example you would have the same layout for each subject but swap out the content or something along those lines? Could you provide an example of how that might look
I really love Kevin O’Leary’s directness. He said that if a startup doesn’t make money in three years then it is a hobby. Don’t disagree, but I wonder what he thinks of Uber which is burning through cash
@15:38 “I wanted to thank her and help her out”. What he really meant to say is he wanted to show her he had enough money to pay her to scrub the gum off HIS shoes and buy 100 ice cream stores, her, her husband, her children and grandchildren 1000 times over.
so kevin had his first job at the ice cream parlor and then never work for anyone ever again..... BUT he also said he was at a Pet Food company (His german boss) Something Inconsistent about his story?
Joe Baller perhaps ageing can explain his inconsistency. However he sounds genuine and kind, but realistic. I found his talk inspiring, informative and interesting.
It was something that mentally affected him. I was an employee of a company with a great career path, 6 figure salary. Change of management, senior didn't like me, I had to settle for a resignation package with a reference. I applied for jobs but after 2 weeks decided I'd had enough of being a pawn, it mentally affected me that someone had that power over me.
Joe Baller I'm pretty sure he meant his philosophy. Everyone, including him, requires money flow to build, hence the job. It's the vision and mindset that differentiated him.
Halfway enjoyed the interview, the other half can’t get over how arrogant Kevin is. Barbara is not dumb, or going to hell. She’s a great investor, and just because skinnning a cat one way works doesnt mean that’s the only way.
Outstanding! Thanks Kevin for enabling a transcript; copying as many of the insights of actionable information for soonest Implementation. Your videos and tweets truly are master classes in a school of success. thank you!
If you interview him again or other entrepreneurs can you please ask their advice on building a luxury brand? I feel the psychology of luxury products is counterintuitive to most marketing. Thank you.
I really appreciate the honesty in this interview. What a wonderful journey. May the Lord give you lots of years to enjoy. ❤ Kevin you have a big heart. Embrace the humanity in you
I like this man, he's humorous. I can read upside down, but I also can read down side up and from left to right and right to left. This man had really good mentors as a young man that he listened to and valued, that's what he is pointing out.
@@kylelougnot It's more then that though, there is a drive that the rich people have to want to make millions. I really could care less about $'s if I did I believe I would be well off and I am well off anyways, but not because I care to, but because of God and His protection over me. Leary's perspective of why he is where he is at is nice to listen to because there is worldly wisdom to it :).
What a fantastic interview, i can’t stop watching it over and over. So many great and valuables lessons that i can apply immediately to my personal and professional life. Great work !
Bryan, Scripture in the Bible says, "For the love of money is a root of ALL KINDS of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs." - 1 Timothy 6:10. Like many things, this country has changed the original into something cliche that isn't even true. Money is the root of all kinds of evil, but it is a tool, like any other, and can be used for good or bad. In moderation, without greed, money can be used to do all kinds of good as well.
Thank you for watching! 🙏 Hope you're subscribed...Here's the next video I recommend: "Why There's No Overnight Success" ruclips.net/video/4UtGHXkGCxk/видео.html
15:10 that is NOT how employees are, most places are at will employment. Either you picked the wrong job, or straight up if you are asked to do something you are not willing to do, you can quit at any time. Nobody can make you do ANYTHING, unless you are in the military.
Kevin O'Leary has set off my bullshit alarm for years, but admittedly I could never really put my finger on it. There was always something hucksterish about him.
@BehindtheBrand his recounting his first job, "you have two types of people, one owns the store, the other scrapes the shit off the floor" a very vivid image and lesson
Thank you for watching! 🙏 Hope you're subscribed...if you tell me what else you're interested in learning I'll make another video recommendation from my channel.
Wow! Kevin you are great. Thank you! Everything you say is true. There are alot of advice about making money is all about making money and buying into someone idea, someones business but you are not in control of your self, your life. Most time success is from 0 success is time, success is constanrly learning, listening, risk, exsperimenting, team playing, rebond, success is science and engineering. Being in control, attitude. Success is YOU creation of yahova GOD!!!!!!!
I have been following your videos for Months now and i have been wanting to make outstanding progress with my investment. Truly, The SP500 is a self-correcting portfolio, Following this principles, i want suggestions as to a way to protect my portfolio of $580k.
Yes true, I have been in touch with a financial advisor. With an initial starting reserve of $80k, my advisor chooses the entry and exit commands for my portfolio, which has grown to approximately $550k.
There are a lot of independent advisors you might look into. But i work with Nicole Desiree Simon and I have been working together for nearly four years, and she is excellent. You could proceed with her if she satisfies your discretion. I endorse her
Thanks for sharing, I just looked her up on the web and I would say she really has an impressive background in investing. I will write her an e-mail shortly.
“I’m gonna go back cause I didn’t get the answer I wanted” Well ya, cause when he answered he just talked about how godly he thinks he is and how he makes the right decisions all the time.
“A salary is a drug they give you when they want you to forget about your dreams”
so good
right!
thats most of us. Lets face it very few make it big. We played it safe and I still feel we won.
What a idiot they don't give it to yoj you have to earn it.
ridesharesupplies nah, not always! Sometimes it’s just a step. In a big scheme of things, there is no perfect, step-by-step success module - keep pushing 😎 💪

Very true. Nice insight!
This is such a good interview. Interviewer doesn't interrupt, genuinely interested in conversation AND lets interviewee finish his thoughts.
And Mr. Wonderful does a great job of explicitly validating the questions. He’s very positive without being patronizing.
By popular demand I've uploaded the full-length version of this interview with Kevin O'Leary from earlier this month.
Not arrogance, confidence. Not "brutal", pragmatist. A lot of people ignore the ugliness of the world, but the modern day warrior must face it head on.

Bryan, you are a smart interviewer and you know how to speak to someone like Kevin. Bravo.
@@nodoublestandards5956 Thank you!
where's the full version? I'd love to watch that =D he's like the strict general in army
Entrepreneurship is not about pursuing money. But it's about pursuing freedom. This is a great piece of advice!!
Loved the interview.
Thanks Preetam

yes, its about pursuing money.
homeless are free.
@Jane Rose Tan yes like your own problems of not having money on your pockets!
I love this guy because he shoots from the hip and is no BS..very intelligent..
People are so sensitive these days... calling Kevin arrogant 🤦
He's wonderful
Thanks for watching KS
Mr. Wonderful that is
He is very wonderful! 😁
@Jay L lay off the crack tyrone
Too many snowflakes in this world nowadays.
One of the best about business video I have seen in a long time. Kevin gets to the point and he is truthful.
Thanks Rick! Hope you find some more vids you like on my channel
This interview if fantastic. Thank you for gently pushing O'Leary into answering some of the more philosophical viewpoints on money (like whether it corrupts). You asked great questions and then you let him fully answer without interrupting... a rare thing these days.
Thanks AJ
The best quote of the whole video: "If you de-risk your children's lives, you are giving them a disease."
thanks
I have taken 30 yrs to become the best in my industry at something and spent the last 2 years attracting 20+ Licensees to use my brand and am growing every day. Every word out of Keven's mouth is exceedingly helpful to an entrepreneur like myself. My take-away with him always seems to be that I have to raise the bar and expect more from myself.
Thanks Rick!
Coming from a person that has lost a seven figure business and anxious to regroup and start another. I must say his advice is helpful and factual.
great
This interviewer is phenomenal. He isn’t making the conversation about him, anytime he adds commentary it’s to tie in what Kevin said to the next question, and he doesn’t ramble on with it. Fantastic job.
Thanks James
Kevin O'Leary is the best. I learn a lot by watching his stuff.
Thanks for watching Beverly!
Excellent interviewer. I liked that you pushed him to answer the questions. I think he only half answered but that itself also gave us a sense into his mindset and what he’s comfortable talking about.
thanks Sanjay!
Don't ever let someone take advantage of you. Always stay true to yourself and your goals!
yep
Thats funny. All of the investors on shark tank try to take advantage of all the people that goes on the show.
@@lotto5742 the entrepreneurs are the ones asking them for capital and help, how r the investors taking advantage of them?
I am thinking about a new type of restaurants : eating-spots,
in eating-spots, food keeps changing, chefs also rotate,
this is opposed to current restaurants,
thanks to this rotation of food and chefs, eating-spots are way more powerful than restaurants,
along with that, there is an app,
people vote for the food that will be cooked in the next days,
menu is influenced by the live input of the people via an app.
When you live in different countries you learn to be okay outside of your comfort zone, and that’s how he can constantly move forward.
'Intuition is experience distilled'. Poetic.
Thanks!
His first job was in high school at an ice cream parlor, he got fired and says at 15:11 “ I never worked a day in my life for somebody EVER AGAIN” but said at 1:27 he had a summer job in college at a pet food company..

@Shavonne Good Point! Thanks for noticing. I hope someone can point this out.... it'd be sad if he was lying to us.
Totally! This guy is full of shit.
This interview is gold. Thank you.
Kevin O'Leary is probably one of the only people that I would feel truly intimidated by! He's got such intense eyes that seems to pierce through your soul. Love this guy!
Kevin is my favorite Shark on Shark Tank. He's a lot like Simon Cowell. He will tell you that you suck out of love. :)
Yep
I love Kevin's honesty!
I thought it was his wife who ran them over.
if you like rude cruel people, yeah
34:01 100% wrong, you can get that freedom without going through all that stress and work to make millions. Wealth is in your mind, your relationships, your health, your lack of stress
Awesome interview! Some people think Kevin is hard-nosed, but they're just shooting the messenger. You have to be blunt with people in order for them to get the message.

By far one of my favorite business guru's.
Kevin O'Leary, Damon John and Mark Cuban are my favorite Sharks, in that exact order.
thanks for watching Elisa
You're my favorite!
Agree with Kevin on Ethiopians. Knew one in college. Never met a more cheerful and outgoing person.
This was a great interview. The interviewer was terrific. Asked great questions and never interrupted.
I have a feeling the 20s, media/business, will belong to Mr O'Leary.
Mr . O'Leary should be the next Apple CEO.
🙏
Here, he says he's THAT good and can tell instantly from talking to someone if a company is going to work or not...yet he has also said: "What I’ve learned after doing this a long time [is] no matter how you feel, and how optimistic you are, in the moment of making an investment, pulling the trigger, you have no idea of the outcome".
There was an event in Chicago last year. I went to the event to see Tony Robbins and Gary V. But when I left, I left with Kevin O'Leary.
Kevin is ruthless...but knows his stuff
I don't usually subscribe based on one video but this one absolutely nailed it. Wish you the best and keep up the good work.
Thanks Dennis, right back at you!
Extremely valuable lessons here.Huge respect for Kevin ,love hes work and charisma.Thanks for posting !
Thanks Eddie
I found this interesting and I'm only 5mins In.. Regardless what you think of him.. He drops truth. No fake colors.

perhaps
Kevin is a great communicator and the interviewer is very good
thanks Roelina
I’m realizing that the more money you obtain is an opportunity to help others that help themselves in this money driven world.
so kevin had his first job at the ice cream parlor and then never work for anyone ever again..... BUT he also said he was at a Pet Food company (His german boss)
Something Inconsistent about his story?
I heard the parlor story as well about his boss yelling at him about not picking up the gum off the floor.

17:50 I love Kevin at this part. It's so true
Halfway enjoyed the interview, the other half can’t get over how arrogant Kevin is.
Barbara is not dumb, or going to hell. She’s a great investor, and just because skinnning a cat one way works doesnt mean that’s the only way.
That's Kevin's villain persona. He and Barb are actually close friends.
Kevin is inspirational. Hope to shake his hand one day. He should run for PRESIDENT!!!!
Outstanding! Thanks Kevin for enabling a transcript; copying as many of the insights of actionable information for soonest Implementation. Your videos and tweets truly are master classes in a school of success. thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
If you interview him again or other entrepreneurs can you please ask their advice on building a luxury brand? I feel the psychology of luxury products is counterintuitive to most marketing. Thank you.
What a great speech! Very motivating. Thanks!
Thanks Erick
Nice one lesson to learn from Kevin.I would like to thank you anchor who has skill to open up Kevin.
Thanks Ashik!
I really appreciate the honesty in this interview. What a wonderful journey.
May the Lord give you lots of years to enjoy. ❤ Kevin you have a big heart.
Embrace the humanity in you
Best lesson ever "You either own the store or scrape shit off the floor"
Thanks for watching!
31:23 - “A salary is the drug they give you when they want you to forget about your dreams” 😲👏🏼
Yep
Such a fantastic interview, lots of insights. Thanks
I like this man, he's humorous. I can read upside down, but I also can read down side up and from left to right and right to left. This man had really good mentors as a young man that he listened to and valued, that's what he is pointing out.
uKnow He had some great experiences that boosted his confidence and lead to positive outcomes. Not everyone is as fortunate.
@@kylelougnot It's more then that though, there is a drive that the rich people
have to want to make millions. I really could care less about $'s if I did I believe I would be well off and I am well off anyways, but not because I care to, but because of God and His protection over me. Leary's perspective of why he is where he is at is nice to listen to because there is worldly wisdom to it :).
God damnit I love listening to Kevin talk about business. Always gets me fired up. Thanks for the video!! :D
I am subbing now..
Entity of Sin 👊
What a fantastic interview, i can’t stop watching it over and over. So many great and valuables lessons that i can apply immediately to my personal and professional life. Great work !
Do it to be free!
Awesome advice!
That’s means everything to me!
Thanks Erick
Agreed!
The LOVE of money is the root of all evil. Very different. Great interview.
Bryan, Scripture in the Bible says,
"For the love of money is a root of ALL KINDS of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs." - 1 Timothy 6:10.
Like many things, this country has changed the original into something cliche that isn't even true.
Money is the root of all kinds of evil, but it is a tool, like any other, and can be used for good or bad. In moderation, without greed, money can be used to do all kinds of good as well.
Agreed James, on point.
Behind the Brand Your page is awesome too. 👍🙏
the bible is a good way to control dumb people...the elite contol and came up with it.

thank you so much for this interview!!
Thanks J
Just incredible, thanks for all these knowledges 🤝!!
More to come!
Amazing interview! Thank you for this.
15:10 that is NOT how employees are, most places are at will employment. Either you picked the wrong job, or straight up if you are asked to do something you are not willing to do, you can quit at any time.
Nobody can make you do ANYTHING, unless you are in the military.
Great interview! Gotta love his honesty! A true entrepreneur!
Very good interview. I like how the interviewer went back to tidy up on the emotional intelligence and on the effect of wealth in personal attitude.
U Eritrean or Ethiopian?
@@user-lu6yg3vk9z The comment could have come from any. Ok, I am Eritrean. Respectfully, what difference will that make.
Force For Good ሓይሊ ንጽቡቕ I am Eritrean too just wondering that’s all.
@@user-lu6yg3vk9z No problem glad to run into brother having similar interest.
Kevin, for President of Canada 👽
Kevin O'Leary has set off my bullshit alarm for years,
but admittedly I could never really put my finger on it.
There was always something hucksterish about him.
Great interview sir! But you just cut it of at the end it seems??
This was editing into several smaller pieces...did you watch the others?
This is pure gold, thank you for posting this great interview
Key takeaway?
@BehindtheBrand his recounting his first job, "you have two types of people, one owns the store, the other scrapes the shit off the floor" a very vivid image and lesson
Kevin O'Leary is so dang interesting!
This us one of the best interviews and he has kept it real like we do in the great family.
Thank you for watching! 🙏 Hope you're subscribed...if you tell me what else you're interested in learning I'll make another video recommendation from my channel.
"I hired someone to find her" LMAO
Wow! Kevin you are great. Thank you! Everything you say is true. There are alot of advice about making money is all about making money and buying into someone idea, someones business but you are not in control of your self, your life. Most time success is from 0 success is time, success is constanrly learning, listening, risk, exsperimenting, team playing, rebond, success is science and engineering. Being in control, attitude. Success is YOU creation of yahova GOD!!!!!!!
Thanks for watching Dennis!
Bless Kevin O Leary’s heart
;)
Collaboration, great interview! We are so grateful to have access to this great information. Keepup the great work
Thank you!
I have been following your videos for Months now and i have been wanting to make outstanding progress with my investment. Truly, The SP500 is a self-correcting portfolio, Following this principles, i want suggestions as to a way to protect my portfolio of $580k.
Well the bigger the risk, the bigger the reward and such impeccable decisions are better guided by professionals
Yes true, I have been in touch with a financial advisor. With an initial starting reserve of $80k, my advisor chooses the entry and exit commands for my portfolio, which has grown to approximately $550k.
I’ve been looking to switch to an advisor for a while now. Any help pointing me to who your advisor is?
There are a lot of independent advisors you might look into. But i work with Nicole Desiree Simon and I have been working together for nearly four years, and she is excellent. You could proceed with her if she satisfies your discretion. I endorse her
Thanks for sharing, I just looked her up on the web and I would say she really has an impressive background in investing. I will write her an e-mail shortly.
Props to this guys mum for choosing a good stepdad..
thanks for watching
" Experience is distilled intuition" - Kevin O' Leary
“I’m gonna go back cause I didn’t get the answer I wanted”
Well ya, cause when he answered he just talked about how godly he thinks he is and how he makes the right decisions all the time.
Excellent interview
This was a truly excellent interview. It’s not often that you learn so much useful advice in such a short period of time.
WOW!!! Those are some real words of wisdom!
Excellent! I’m storing this man! There’s a lot of great pieces of advice here
Glad it was helpful!
Kevin just says it the way it is... he shoots from the hip!
He's the real deal
I respect that
